At the beginning of April, Scotland's Hate Crime and Public Order Act came into force.
Commenting, Richard Fuller MP said:
Under Scotland’s chilling new hate crime law most people are not guaranteed to be treated in the same way as author J K Rowling.
Policing everyday speech is NOT merely repeating the efforts to combat racism in the past: it’s a form of state enforced “consensus” that should be anathema to a liberal society.
Courageous and high profile individuals are not the target: ordinary people are.
