Is Scotland's Hate Crime Act unworkable?

 

Scotland's First Minister -Humza Yousaf

Since Humza Useless brought in his Hate Crime Act, the Scottish police have said they've been inundated with complaints about hate crime and can't cope with the amount of extra work.

In the first week of the Act's introduction, the Scottish police received over 7,000 complaints about hate crime. Just 3.8% of these complaints, were considered legitimate and many were made anonymously.

Like some kind of Stasi, the SNP government have been urging the public to shop anybody they suspect of espousing "hate speech". Critics have said that the measure is likely to curtail free speech and could be weaponised by trans activists, to target gender-critical feminists or what some call, Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERF).

The Harry Potter author, J K. Rowling, has stated publicly that the Act is "wide open to abuse" by all sorts of cranks and disgruntled misfits, and she's invited the police to arrest her. The author has come under fire for stating that a "trans woman is not a woman."

 I suspect that the SNP's Hate Crime Act, is yet another nail in the coffin of Scottish independence and the Balkanization of the UK.
