The Scottish Government’s controversial new hate crime law came into effect on Monday.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act was passed by MSPs in 2021, consolidating existing hate crime legislation and creating a new offence of stirring up hatred against protected characteristics, although sex has been omitted in favour of a standalone Bill designed to tackle misogyny.
A stirring up offence on the basis of race has been on the statute book in Scotland since 1986.
But the legislation has raised concerns about a potential chilling of free speech.
Prominent critics include author JK Rowling, podcaster Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, the owner of X – formerly Twitter.
The Act has also raised the ire of policing bodies, with the Scottish Police Federation (SPF) claiming training for officers is not enough and the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents (ASPS) raising concerns about the legislation being weaponised for political purposes.
Ex-political editor at The Sun, Trevor Kavanagh says the SNP’s new hate crime law is “incomprehensible” as it ‘can’t be policed’.
“Is this absurd law going to be limited just to Scottish frontier or will it spread into the rest of Britain? It’s extremely alarming!”

Woke stupidity at its finest, as Ricky Gervais said, we are the most advanced living thing on Earth, We’ve created advanced technologies, and put a man on the moon, but we’re scared of words!
Comedy shows are going to be a thing of the past Billy Connolly is world loved for his stand up comedy, now it’ll be “knock knock ✊🏼 who’s there? The police for butt hurt feelings”
Well how about that communist Scotland 😂
This is how to ruin a formerly democratic country
This is why we all, every man and women voting age need to vote for Reclaim and show the woke Labour and Tories that us Britain's will stand for common scenes.
[police havnt got any common sense
The very first thing that this act MUST stop is the Hate Marches that have been happening each week end against the Jewish people. Now, don't tell me these aren't hate generated?
Subjugation of freedom.
If the Sun think it’s a bad idea then we can be sure that it’s a great idea
Hate law very good
Scotland has fallen
Hate crime laws that ireland brought in first.
Now Scotland.
The people say no
SNP getting the blaame as usual when it was labour
This will spread. Scotland is just testing the water. Islamists will take over UK left, right and center.
Meanwhile, knife crimes are soaring. Whatever happened to "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me?" Time for some common sense.
I bet real criminals are having a field day because the police are too busy policing people who happen to have different opinions or thoughts rather than rapists, murderers etc. Common sense, morality and intelligence are dead! R.I.P. ⚰️ It’s from the pits of hell! If the police want to arrest me I’ll identify as a fellow police officer and say you can’t arrest me 😏
George Orwell, i told you so
Am I alone in thinking that people's right to free speech, combined with social media, is at the root cause of so much of this country's lawlessness, bullying and intimidation???
Fact is not hate
this so-called 'law' is hate speech in itself…
Sturgeon believed if she cant have Scotland no one else can. So she promoted a real fool, Hamza, whom she knew everyone would hate more than her. Sturgeon and Yousef, using money they are not entitled to. £670.000 Sturgeon and £380.000 Yousef. Throw them both in prison for years.
UK Parliament can overrule laws made by the Scottish Parliament. Go ask the Tory mps if they'll actually do something constructive….. Oh wait they gave us the draconian online safety bill and gave us a new definition of extremism. Amusingly both the Tories and SNP have unelected none native leaders. I'm not surprised by their complete incompetence. I expect nothing less.
Who gave the SNP the right to take away our rights to freedom of speech, innocent until proven guilty, for Scotland England and Wales. Yes WE ARE ALL BEING SCREWED.
Sharia law is what it is. It's terrifying to think this country has fallen.
You did criminalise hate crime against Anti semitism ,its only fair that hate crime is reported and dealt with it.The right is going wilde normalising criminal behaviour and trying to claim free speach .Why cant people critisise the war.
Isn't this law causing a form of hate against the average person?
How dare they protect a community that lives in fear because of the disgusting country they have to endure! How dare the SNP!!
Wow… Hit Ler comes to mind….
Absolute pish. This is the same HCB that England has already
This man was crying for his wife in law in Palestine while the same government was funding and supplying weapons to get them killed 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes if comuweflad,get in
Maybe that will stop people in England caring swastika, sign and think that it’s OK
Hope not, there will be worst protest compared to Scotland.
Of course it will be one sided.
The only reason to oppose legislating against hate crimes is a desire to do hate crimes
You all wamted this, you got it
