I’m glad the police are spending time on this instead of crimes
Horrible law will cripple the snp
Huge wave of people deliberately making vexatious claims results in lots of vexatious claims.
Odd that the Telegraph that encouraged people to make false reports; is now saying those false reports are interfering in police work?
So putting aside the complaints about Humza and JK Rowling, there were 240 actual hate crimes and 30 ‘non crime hate incidents’ reported in a week.
I assume it will slow down and I’d like to know the rate before the new law for comparison purposes.
Factually at this point none of them are actually crimes though, are they?
Surely, for us to say they are a crime in this context the perpetrator would need to have been found guilty of an offence in court.
I am not saying they won’t be but realistically none of these courses will have been prosecuted yet.
Why are the cunts who moan about the state of the police, the same cunts making vexatious claims. It’s as if they are motivated by something else. Cunts gonna cunt I suppose
The vast number of non actually qualifying reports will die down when it’s no longer in the news.
It’s the police I feel sorry for. Not able to deal with actual crime because of Humza’s hurty words bill.
Murderers doing five years, gbh barely ever custodial now, burglary not even investigated, shop lifting no longer dealt with.
They’ve reviewed all the evidence and completed 7000 investigations in a month? I wish they would investigate real crime that quickly. Or have they just taken shortcuts for political optics?
Is there actually a list of things that come under this as a hate crime? Not categories but actual content?
Labelling someone different to what they think they are isn’t a hate crime I presume but saying you hate all “those types” of people is?
3000 anonymous complaints by frothy bigots, including those using fake aliases, on day one. 7000 by day 7. Yeah, even the frothy bigots are getting bored of this sooner than expected.
Almost like people don’t understand it, what’s interesting is Britain is trying to “distance” it’s self from EHRC rullings as part of brexit. That’s the same court that is cited under the protective laws in the legislation. Meaning if Westminster wont entertain the EHRC rullings they protections in the legislation wont be worth the paper they are written on… That’s the real issue that should be an outrage. Brexit means less human rights now…
The far right at its finest, trying to undermine the law before it catches up with them.
Make vague as f*ck law designed to incorporate everything and nothing at the same time.
Confused when people report based on their own subjective opinions about what constitutes ‘stirring up hatred’ because you didn’t define it. Gets reported for ‘stirring up hatred’.
This is the obvious result of poorly written legislation.
It’s almost as if a vague law is only up for interpretation the right way when the authorities want it!
Telegraph readers presumably trying to overload the reporting system with complaints that calling Telegraph readers ‘erectile-dysfunctional sociopaths’ constitutes a hate crime rather than fair comment.
Right-wing shitehouses being shitey people, shock!
bizarre hate posting from the teleshitgraph
> The statistics also showed that one in five Police Scotland officers are yet to complete their training for the new legislation.
How can you roll out a new law like this when 20% of Police Scotland officers haven’t even been trained on it yet.
> The two-hour training course had been branded inadequate by the Scottish Police Federation, which represents frontline officers.
The people who have done the the 2 hour course say it is inadequate.
Come on now. Whatever you think of the law itself, this is ridiculous.
Oh so prosecuting “thought crime” isn’t practical for a free society? Who knew?
Am I allowed to hate the hate crime bill?
We just have to wait for the wee culture warriors, far right folk and hardcore British nationalists to get bored with their vandalism.
Terrible law
The police will look the other way for a couple of years till everyone is complacent with this new law. When it’s perceived as a non issue. Then when the SNP wants to clamp down on the population they will start enacting on the “wrong” kinds of speech and thoughts. There’s too much drama around the law right now to use it the way they intended.
So it seems like this law is probably not the assault on free speech people thought it was or it’d actually have a more pronounced impact.
Alternatively, there’s thousands of reports and hundreds of people going to the naughty step
I have full confidence the Scottish people enmass can make a mockery of this law until it fades away.
Of all nations, Scotland has hundreds of years of relevant experience and expertise in subverting and undermining bizzar egregious laws , previously forced upon them by the English.
