In my view, the SNP’s Hate Crime Act threatens freedom of speech and is wasting precious police time and resources dealing with thousands of vexatious complaints.
Police numbers are already at their lowest level since 2008 and they can no longer investigate actual crimes thanks to the SNP underfunding the force whilst introducing unnecessary laws like the Hate Crime Act.
The Scottish Conservatives opposed this law whilst Labour and the Lib Dems backed the SNP to support it. They must u-turn and support our bid to scrap the Hate Crime Act immediately.
