Is the act helping, do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing – vote yes for good, no for bad!
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.

Its against The People's Law --> Magna Carta. Remove ALL SNP trash at next vote. No Mail In Ballots to be allowed as the SNP CHEAT and are well known for it too. God Bless Scotland and UK.

Freedom of speech is essential in a democracy. Being offended is a personal choice.
