The problems is extreme right wing groups are encouraging supporters to report as hate crime anti racist statements, as hate crime against white people. That is why they are deluged.

So the problem is people criticising law/government?

Or the problem is people making use of a law that has had huge publicity and encouragement to be used?

Do you want us to report hate or not, Patrick?

I think he wants you to report the Right Sort of Hate.

This far in (or up the arsehole) it's difficult to know what anyone means anymore.

What a legacy Nicola Sturgeon has left for her beloved country. She should be so ashamed and embarrassed but I doubt she is.

No, really?

I suppose Harvie is speaking what he knows, given that he is an expert in performative nonsense

Police were already overwhelmed with actual crime here. ScotGov just love to waste time and money on anything that won't improve Scotland.

Yes, but now we know it's our fault, not the polices.

I'm sure it will be of great comfort to the victims of actual crime in Scotland to know that soothing the hurty feelings of some self-obsessed woke twats is given more priority than burglary, assaults, murders, rapes etc.

Who'd have predicted this would be unworkable? Who? Who?

Apart from the women and policy groups who've been warning about this for two years and more?

Who among the Real People predicted this? etc.
