Freedom Trampled in Scotland
Freedom is on its last legs in Scotland! The SNP's viciously anti-white First Minister has handed horrifying extra powers to Politically Correct police officers and lawyers.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into force on Monday 1 April and gives the green light to far-left and militant LGBTQ activists to make malicious complaints against political opponents, pro-life campaigners and traditionalists.
The badly drafted and repressive law introduces new offences for threatening or abusive behaviour which is intended to stir up hatred based on prejudice towards characteristics such as age, disability, religion, sexual orientation and transgender identity. Under the law, telling the truth is no defence.
In a letter to Holyrood's criminal justice committee published last week, the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents (ASPS) warned the law could be "weaponised" by an "activist fringe" across the political spectrum.
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has also highlighted the danger of empowering the militant trans lobby to persecute those who speak out for the uniqueness and rights of real, biological women:
"The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women’s and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.”
Even many Bible passages are liable to fall foul of this disgraceful 'law'. This issue is only going to grow!
