Seems to be India constantly going after JKR actually, she's usually responding

I've not heard of a single person who thinks this is a good idea.

The Scottish authorities were dumb enough to arrest some youtuber for teaching a dog to raise one paw, so why does anyone think they'll behave sensitively with this new law?

Then, fair. Don't dish if you can't take.

Yep and like I said they're trying to force that same thing in over here when it's very clearly not wanted either. Over 75% of people who took part in the public consultation said so but the government are sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending they can't hear us

agree

giving that nasty person way way too much airspace

[bots]

people, quite rightly, are going to push this hard, testing the police and the snp to the limit. It's a big self destruct button for them in the run up to the GE

[bots]

can you imagine the uproar if they throw JKR in jail?

and the thing is, if they let people away with particular speech, then precedents will be set, which will make the law pointless and unenforceable.

I would imagine that they're going to use this "law" to harass people and scare them into being quiet about certain topics

I think she might actually be trying for it, for that reason. Harry Potter Money gets you very, very good legal representation and I think she might be trying to be charged, so that she can enter a legal battle with the govt.

the problem is though, the way the scottish parliament is set up, those opposed, don't stand a hope in hell of repealing the law

Football pundit Ally McCoist has also given his support to JK Rowling, calling the legislation "madness".

Speaking on TalkSport, external radio, he said he, along with thousands of football fans, will flout the rules during this weekend's Old Firm match between Rangers and Celtic.

The ex-Rangers player said: "I can guarantee you, next Sunday at Ibrox, I, along with 48,000 will be committing a breach of that hate bill in the particular Rangers Celtic game we are all going to."

Mr McCoist did not say which part of the Hate Crime Bill footballs fans were at risk of breaching.

Probably the sectarianism. It might be the part where (some of them ) get drunk and go home to beat up their families but that seems less likely. They already know no one ever gets meaningfully charged for that.

Scottish Police
have stated they have looked into JK Rowling,
and no action is needed from them.

Thank you for your kindness ❤️🙏 My doctors are hopeful I can indeed heal my
deep trauma. After trying many different therapies in vain, I've found that
taking the piss out of people who come at me with faux concern is the most beneficial. That, and crystals.






ouch

The Police are already struggling to enforce this stupid law.

How long until the SNP have to back down? I give it 2 months.
