A PROTEST has been held outside the Scottish Parliament to mark “the end of free speech in Scotland” as the Hate Crime and Public Order Act comes into force.
On Monday, a mixture of Christian fundamentalists, gender critical activists, Scottish Family Party members, free speech advocates, Unionist campaigners and individuals concerned about the legislation gathered outside “It’s the SNP today but it’s laying the grounds for any government in the future to decide what it thinks is hate speech.”He added: “It’s my right to be able to offend people.
“Our belief that it’s more beneficial for a child to grow up in a household with a male and female parent will be deemed a hate crime.” Fraser also said that he’d like to see the laws against stirring up racial hatred, which have existed since 1987, repealed.
