Conversations at home that incite hatred must be prosecuted under Scotlands hate crime law, the Scottish justice secretary has insisted.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill has been opposed by the Scottish Catholic Church, police representatives, academics and artists, but is set to introduce an offence of stirring-up hatred against certain groups, including on the grounds of disability, sexual orientation and age.
The Public Order Act 1986, which currently outlaws threatening, abusive or insulting words and behaviour, includes a dwelling defence that states threatening language cannot be prosecuted if spoken at home.
The new bill will be based on that act, but Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf has made clear his hope that a dwelling defence will not be included.
The additional crime of stirring up hate against a protected group could be committed by behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, or communicating threatening or abusive material to another person, as well as the crime of possessing inflammatory material.
Journalists and theatre directors could also face prosecution if their work is deemed to deliberately encourage prejudice.

The Scots have ruined Scotland
I have been over there at least 8 times.
The more I went over, the less I cared for it outside of my Kin. They seem to think of one thing-GIMME GIMME GIMME.
All the result of what the English did to them and how they did it in history.
May God send the monarchy and nobility to Hell for eternity.
1984 arriving in Scotland, a bit late.
Am i to guess that “the filling under the kilt” is a wee smaller these days???
They are sept to the McSewer clan, a bunch of troglodytes from Glagow.
Aye, he’s lost his faloorum, he’s got no ding dolum,
Lass, when your young ne’er wed an old man.
Woah! Whoda thunk that the Scotts were such hateful people that they had to be monitored in their own homes by some guys in brown shirts and jack boots. Gee, I wonder what could possibly go wrong?
How sad!

LOL!
A prime example is Walder Frey from Game of Thrones!
He was the caretaker in the Harry Potter movies.
He was old then, but then came Arya Stark!
