Chaos erupted this week surrounding the introduction of a new draconian speech law in Scotland as Police received nearly 4,000 complaints within the first two days of it being in place, with far-left First Minister Humza Yousaf reportedly receiving more complaints than Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling over her transgenderism critiques.
Former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, Calum Steele revealed on Wednesday that Police Scotland received a hate speech report on an average of every two minutes since the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into force on Monday, LBC reports.
This, he said, equated to around 3,800 complaints in the first two days of the controversial new law, which criminalises the vaguely worded “stirring up hatred” against protected groups on the basis of age, disability, race, sexual orientation, and transgender identity with a penalty of up to seven years in prison.

The best way to stop this effrontery is by holding public beheadings for offenders.
The leftists Scotts have their kilts in a wad.
I expect that their response will be to call it “hate speech” when you make hate speech reports against the wrong people.
So Scotland has joined the woke brigade and turned into a repressive dictatorship.
Pass stupid laws - get stupid results.
I'd like to see his clan pin and tartan.

Keep it up. Everything a leftist says is hate speech. Generate millions of reports against them.
Criminals must love it. Cops distracted with chasing down the slightest insult to a tranny - while they freely rob banks, break into homes, assault, car jack, etc.
All part of the plan to break down society. Overwhelm the system with stupid laws that restrict people’s genuine civil rights in favor of some made up civil rights at the same time criminal violence goes rampant. End result people have no sense of security for their person’s or property. Social trust is broken, the middle class disintegrates and the people in charge can wield the power they so desperately want.
“with far-left First Minister Humza Yousaf reportedly receiving more complaints than Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling over her transgenderism critiques.”
Hilarious. Better put some ice on your own hate speech complaints, Youfus.
Politically incorrect speech taken to the 911 level? So, there is a 911 emergency line in Scotland to report hurt feelings?
Rules for radicals - always hold your opponent to their rules, laws and standards. Call them out when they break them.
That’s how you deal with these commie, socialist, nazi, mooslime clowns. Give it to them good and hard.
