It's part of a package of measures we're doing from City Hall. One of the joys about our city is our diversity. I think it's something that's a strength, it should be celebrated not a weakness that should be denigrated.
We've seen that over the last five or six weeks people not feeling they belong. I've heard too many Londoners, who because they may be Jewish, or they may be Muslim, or they may be from the LGBTQ+ community, feeling a sense of I'm not sure this is for me'. We've got to remind people that one of the reasons why we're the greatest city in the world is because of our diversity, from [the] arts to our music venues, from our restaurants to our bars, from our synagogues, mosques, gurdwaras, temples, churches.
Claire Waxman, London's Victims' Commissioner, said she welcomed the new campaign, given the shocking increase in hate crime incidents which has impacted our Jewish and Muslim communities in particular.
