That's exactly what it is. They are encouraging people to report incidents, to snitch on each other. Perhaps they should be more careful what they wish for. Especially when the first minister makes racist speeches.

It's not a conspiracy. The speech is on YouTube. I already posted it here. The guidelines for what constitues hate speech are on the police website. The speech falls within that. They want people to report it, so I did. Where is the conspiracy?

Yes I very much doubt they are going to investigate reports against a Muslim, son of Pakistani immigrants who happens to be the first minister making a racist speech against white people. This law clearly isn't designed for that type of racism. However, the vague nature and selective enforcement of this law is no reason for me not to report racism when I see or hear it. They are encouraging people to report hate speech. I obliged. The hate monster appears to have attacked Yousaf as I included in my report.

I am not wasting police time. I found his speech extremely offensive and I would like action taken against him. If they cannot take legal action because the crime took place before the law, perhaps they will put a non crime hate incident on his record instead. Either way, I am entitled to report it. He is not exempt from the consequences of his hateful, racist speech.

I cannae and winnae agree with that.

Whataboutism. This is about Yousaf's hate bill. I just logged an incident on their website about Yousaf's racist speech. I hope they get back to me swiftly.

Well, left to their own devices they do seem to be becoming somewhat tyrannical. Just an observation. How the SNP got such horrible legislation over the line is irrelevant. We all know what type of deals can be done, Sturgeon showed us that.

A language does not need to be phonetic to have different accents. If he can pronounce it as WHAITE, I can write it as whaite. This law does certainly highlight the dangers of devolution. Like giving a gun to an 8 year old. Hopefully Scots will take this as a lesson in terms of what could happen if ever the SNP got their way and made Scotland their personal fiefdom with a vote for Independence. Be afraid Scotand, be very afraid.

I don't see anything about hair loss, weight, age or illegitimacy in there. So calling someone a fat, old, bald barsteward should be fine. Especially if you are [screws up face into a contorted angry expression] WHITE as Yousaf loves to snarl from his soap box. Good to see the police being kept busy with this, it's not like they have any violence or drink/drug issues in Scotland. What a joke Scotland has become under the SNP. Devolved powers don't seem like such a great idea now if they are going to be used for tyrannical purposes like this.

That video is brilliant and sums up the idiocy of this law. The fact that the wording of the new law actually broke the new law by singling out young white males is the cherry on the cake. Scotland embarrassing itself again, without even going near a sporting event. 😄

Racist abuse is not normal abuse.

Hilarious. If I were 7 years old and still reading The Beano. Perhaps KeeMaa Farang would have been more fitting for you?

Oooh - great point, maybe it was an agent provocateur just giving the trans lobby a bad name 😄 Wouldn't waste my time. This law is not intended to silence the pro trans lobby and will not be used for such.

These female football players have quite the sense of entitlement. It was only last weekend that Emma Hayes furiously pushed Jonas Eidevall at the final whistle before accusing HIM of "male aggression". Quite the projection, I hope she appreciates irony. 😄 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68705202 Lucky she wasn't in Scotland, since I believe insults based on gender are verboten by the hate monster.

Racist abuse is not part of being a police officer, nor any job for that matter.

Have the leftist trans activists that threatened to rape, beat and kill her been arrested yet?

OMG - heat and rain during Songkran. This is unprecedented. Someone call Greta! 😄

Would you feel the same if a white drunk called a black police officer a "Stupid black bastard"?

Good news. There was no grounds to dismiss the case. As an aside, Hunter Biden is looking really old now. I wonder if it's the stress of all the charges, or simply all the substance abuse? Either way, let's hope Joe can finally present himself as a good father and role model and help him with all his issues. Better late than never.

"Your honour, I was only racist for a couple of minutes, I only repeated it 15 times". Cracking defence that. 😄

Actually I frequently refer to "Oirish" Joe Biden. As stated, if you think this is evidence that the hate monster has got me, feel free to report me to the Scoatesh police.

Yep, it would be hilarious if he was charged under his own government's law but there is no way the cowardly police will do anything about his hateful speech. This law will be selectively enforced. There is no way that a wealthy, Muslim, son of Pakistani immigrants is going to be charged under these laws. That is not the group this law is designed to silence. Quite the opposite. Yousaf is in one of the select groups of people who can say whatever they like, and he knows it.

I posted the video for you to watch. I suggest you do so, you will see that he is extremely angry about having white people in these posiitons of power. It is not ambiguous.

Oh that's fine then. As long as he was born there he can oppose white people in positions of power in Scotland, which is 95.4% white. Totally acceptable position to hold. 😄 Transliteration.

Strawman. I said it was equally inappropriate as promoting Trans ideology at Easter. In other words, just as bad. Indeed. Gammon is a disgusting racist insult. Calling white people pigs. I'm surprised you would use it.
