A survey conducted by the FindOutNow polling firm has found that just 21 per cent of the Scottish public support the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021, which came into force on Monday, criminalising the “stirring up hatred” against several protected classes of people with up to seven years in prison.

Us Scots are over here now. Those with highlander blood.

The chieftains were hanged, and the rest were either also killed or sent in chains to the colonies as indentured slaves. Happened to the Irish as well.

No real Scots in Scotland anymore. The last were imported to the colonies around 1735. In chains.

Someone named Humza Yousaf is the leader of Scotland? Can Sharia be far behind?

I hope that Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 sees the error of their ways and kicks Yousef to the curb, but if they don’t, tough luck.

Thanks, I was not aware of this grim reality:

“No real Scots in Scotland anymore. The last were imported to the colonies around 1735. In chains.”

“A paltry one in five people in Scotland are in favour of retaining the leftist government’s draconian new speech law..”

And yet there it is on the books and in force to be used against whom ever they choose.

Back at the time of the Clinton impeachment trial, we even had an expert on Scots law in the US Senate (a Republican from Pennsylvania). Arlen Specter. Or was it Arlen McSpecter?
