"In Scotland, on April Fool's Day as it happens, the long dreaded and heavily criticised 'hate crime laws' come into force. In their infinite wisdom the SNP-led adminstration in Holyrood has made it illegal to, and I quote the legislation, 'stir up hatred.' Precisely what qualifies as 'stirring up hatred' is effectively anyone's guess. The legislation employing forms of words so vague and imprecise, so subject to interpretation, and indeed abuse, by whomever is in power, or invited to do so, that 'stirring up hatred' might mean whatever the relevant authority says it does.Brilliant as ever.
The Dean of the Faculty of Advocates, Roddy Dunlop, is among legal experts that have warned that police might be swamped by completely malicious complaints by those with political and personal scores to settle against individuals they simply don't like. Critics have described it as a disaster in the making...
The looming legal farce is fronted by Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, a man who has loudly objected to white people with top jobs in a country where 96 percent of the population is white! And if that wasn't 'stirring up hatred' of white people under the terms of his own act, then I don't know what is!"
Thank you, Neil.
