That Scottish Hate Crime Bill...
Tried to cancel JK Rowling and potentially silence comedians. I'm surprised the IRA didn't form again.
shareNothing has happened yet. More people have tried to report Humza than JK Rowling.
And not sure what this would have to with the IRA.
Skavau, straight in there defending this absurd Leftist authoritarianism.
shareWhere did I defend that there?
shareHatchling question
shareI have at no point defended this law. How can it be a "hatchling" question to ask you about claims you're making about me? I've specifically in another thread, said this law is shit.
shareYet here you are trying to gaslight people into relaxing about it with ‘Nothing has happened yet’. You’re full of shit.
shareNothing has happened yet. I suspect the bill will mostly collapse under its own weight, and be quickly repealed or reformed when Humza leaves office - which he is likely to after the next UK general election, or at the latest - the next Scottish Parliament election (when the SNP seem likely to lose power).
JK Rowling already tested it, and nothing happened.
You’re making it sound like it’s no big deal and people should not worry about a Western government’s vastly overbroad speech restrictions. Just be patient and your unalienable speech rights will eventually be returned to you. Hopefully when Humza leaves office.
shareI didn't say it wasn't a big deal. It's not great, but it's not going to see thousands of people suddenly arrested.
Humza is a dead man walking, politically. He's very unpopular.
This is like saying, “what’s the big deal if the cops stop and search you for no reason? It’s not necessarily going to lead to arrests.” I think you’re reacting like you’re on sedatives or something. Each step in this direction is closer to people being arrested or their lives destroyed because they said something that the government interpreted as hateful. You should imagine this power in the hands of the political party you don’t like and then see if you can say, “Oh well it’s not going to be that bad and maybe we’ll get our right to speech back in the future”
shareWe already have hate speech laws in the Uk. We've had them for some time.
This law is a joke and will likely collapse under its own weight. It's already being trolled as thousands of complaints are being made facetiously against Humza. And it's also not in the "power of the SNP" anyway.
And thousands have been arrested in the UK over those shitty speech laws.
shareI believe they have noncrime hate crime incidents. Someone reports you for a noncrime hate crime and it goes on your record. I also believe you might not even know about it. It can affect you if you're going for a job as you're potential employer can find out about it.
shareAnd you, being a fascist scumbag want to pass laws to arrest LGBT people for expressing themselves. And no, gay people in TV shows or films is not the same as pedophilia before you trot out that line.
So I'll take zero lectures from you on civil liberties.
They arrest and in some cases imprison people in the UK that speak out against child groomers and pedophiles that you are always defending.
And you hide your pretentious defense behind 'civil liberties'.
Everyone on this forum is already aware that you are one of them.
No one else defends them as zealously as you.
>They arrest and in some cases imprison people in the UK that speak out against child groomers and pedophiles that you are always defending.
Name me a single person arrested for speaking out against groomers and pedophiles in the UK.
And no, I am NOT defending groomers or pedophiles. LGBT people are not inherently groomers or pedophiles. You are an anti-american, fascist piece of shit.
>Everyone on this forum is already aware that you are one of them.
No, they are not. You making shit up is not evidence. I will report this post from you to the moderators.
Provide evidence for your libellous claims.
>No one else defends them as zealously as you.
I have not defended pedophiles at any point. LGBT people are not inherently pedophiles.
