There's so much wrong with that, I don't know where to start.
Yup, I can't figure that out either. It's a typical piece of muddled bureaucratic verbiage, raising more questions than answers.

The joke about kids working long hours in sweat shops is as old of the hills. You hear it all the time on comedy shows.
So it's now a hate-incident?
And if it's a hate incident and no criminal offence has taken place, then we need to tighten up the law further.
Basically, any joke is a hate crime of some sort, so we might as well ban the lot.
If it was made on
Have I Got News For You? or
Mock the Week, it certainly would not be a problem.
And there's a very serious issue at the core of the joke: Working conditions in China. Is referring to such an issue in jest wrong?
