“It’s A Terrible Piece Of Legislation” | Fury Over Scotland’s Hate Speech Law


#Terrible #Piece #Legislation #Fury #Scotlands #Hate #Speech #Law

Police Scotland have said they would not be taking action over Harry Potter author JK Rowling’s social media posts about transgender issues.

The writer, who has become an outspoken critic of the Scottish Government’s stance on trans rights, declared “freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal” on X, formerly Twitter.

The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act – which came into force on Monday – has been met with objections from freedom-of-speech campaigners, including X owner Elon Musk and Scottish journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil.

TalkToday panellists discuss the situation further.

  1. They want it to be illegal to say men are men and nobody can change sex. They’re trying to make facts illegal in favor of mens feelings.

  2. Hey stop feeling sorry for the Scots- they voted for the SNP- they are getting exactly what they voted for
    and there’s more to come

  3. This is a blasphemy law by Scottish government. Intended to protect extremist, perhaps extremist who claim to be peaceful. Indeed, beginning of end of British culture. This law must be reverted.

  4. To follow a law, even tourists, need to understand the law. I am sorry, i can't understand what scottish law is asking me to follow, without any comprehension disorder.

  5. The purpose of this law is to silence the opposition. It is an anti free speech law. You can not ban hate without banning freedom. They have banned freedom.

  6. Legislation like this is what the globalists want for the entirety of the west, particularly for the United States.

  7. RIP Scotland so sad to see my brothers and sisters across the water silenced like this bravo jk Rowling full support

  8. Scottish Law has many differences from that of England, a major one is 'common assault' where simply one party could be prosecuted for shouting in the face of another. This law is seldom prosecuted as the cops really will only take action when they have Evidence about the event, there was no provocation that may nullify the prosecution and the Evidence is well supported; any law that creates areas of doubt may well fall into the same category and action will only be taken when there is hard evidence that the law has been broken. The new hate crime in Scotland is seriously worded yet it is really not that far removed from laws in England, Sweden, Denmark and in line with policy of international bodies EU and ECHR. Scotland does face long standing issue of ingrained bigotry which are quite different from England and a future reunified Ireland may cause many from the Iron North to move into Scotland just as the Southern Irish centuries ago moved in large numbers into the West of Scotland, so for many the wording used in formulating these Laws and adapting the previous 2020/21 'hate laws' is really of no surprise, the expected outcome will not impact free speech.

  9. Why is Rowling living in Scotland its seems apparent JKR detests recent Scot Govt 'Hate' legislation (which was passed with a massive majority by the Scottish parliament) this legislation is almost exactly in line with legislation passed in England in 2006 & 2008 and JKR references the previous Trans Gender legislation revoked by the UK Government; Just as the FM Walked the Spanish; 16/02/2023 implemented a transgender Policy highly similar as the bill passed unilaterally by the Holyrood devolved Govt. "After months of sometimes heated debate within the ruling left-wing, Spanish MPs on Thursday gave final approval to a law allowing people to freely change their gender from the age of 16…" – The EU nations are now passing their own Transgender Legislation and the same 'Hate' legislation is already in place.

  10. They already admitted that they will turn a blind eye when it comes to the Edinburgh fringe for this law😮

  11. Time to start getting arrested. Because people are going to get fed up. FIGHT BACK EVERYONE! THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A TERRIFYING NEW WORLD WE ARE FACING.

  12. I wonder how many people would cancel going to Scotland, you call a biological man a man when you should say she??? Prison for you???

  13. A blasphemy law through the back door. Will they be investigating calls for genocide?. Will they be investigating his White hate speech?.

  14. Freedom of speech is democracy. Not just the corner stone. The whole western world. From the US to the EU and UK and Scotland are on the verge of losing it.

  15. Why does Ava What’s-her-name-that-Laurence-fox-won’t-shag always go on these problems and speak utter dribble?

  16. How on earth does even a parliament as stupid as the Scottish one pass this piece of lunatic evil?

  17. The SNP ARE going to get a backlash from voters! Humza and Sturgeon and families will never, n e ver be forgiven for the unhappiness and hurt they have brought on the people of Scotland/United Kingdom! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏👏👏🙏👏🥁🥁🎺🎺😁👎😥👎

  18. Most stupid legislation ever, its open to abuse and the police can just pick and choose who they investigate. It's the "don't say anything while we take control of your country bill" in my opinion

  19. Human ( useless) said there are too many white people in power. That's got to be racist ?? If a white person said their are too many blacks or asians or muslims in power they would be slaughtered. One rule again. There are too many Muslims in thes country.

  20. It's real women being attacked every day not trans people. If I see a man in a dress it's still a man

  21. Maybe JK Rowling might like to report Humza Yousaf to the police for his tirade about the dominance of 'white' people in Scottish high offices (in a country where 95% of the population identify as white). Under the terms of his own government's new 'hate speech', law one could certainly make a very convincing argument that his speech was offensive to an 'ethnic group', indeed, to Scotland's majority and indigenous 'ethnic' group.
