The “hate speech” stuff tends to be an aggravating factor during sentencing.

It’s an offence to cause distress (eg screaming and threatening people) in public, cause distress by screaming the N word and that will be used to increase your sentence if you’re found guilty.

There are laws about “malicious communications” and that was what CountDankula fell foul off, that and a Scottish magistrate without a sense of humour.

So just saying the words isn’t a criminal offence, much to the dismay of the College of Policing, but saying the words whilst doing something actually criminal is going to get you a harsher sentence.
