The legislative groundwork for the Hate Crime and Public Order Act was laid through rigorous debates, public consultations, and a thorough legislative process.
The Act’s passage was not without controversy, as it sought to tread the fine line between protecting individuals from hate crimes and preserving freedom of speech.

Discrimination can happen in many ways. It doesn't require words. 50 years as an Englishman in the Highlands has taught me that.

This bill will cause more division and hatred. The proof is plain to see as it is already happening.

The stupist bill ever to come out of the Scottish parliament but I can't say I'm surprised The SNP leader has screwed up at every job he's ever had and the only reason he is there is because of his affiliation to a certain football club and a fraud of a former leader who is only interested in herself and another betrayed of Scotland

The bill is being used by transactivists to bully and intimidate women. This is wasting police time and resources on vexatious complaints.
