Katie Strick, our senior feature writer and editor, on the shocking rise of LGBTQ+ hate crime in London.


In August, there was the late-night incident at the Two Brewers, followed by the Brixton bus stop assault on a couple heading home from Black Pride.


Since then, there have been several more similar incidents in the capital, with a man in his 50s the victim of physical homophobic assault on a bus in Clapham, and two men in their 20s reportedly assaulted by six men on High Road in Chadwell Heath.


Also in this episode, Robbie de Santos from the charity Stonewall, reveals how the LGBTQ+ community is feeling in the wake of this highly concerning trend.
