Is the act helping, do you think it’s a good thing or a bad thing – vote yes for good, no for bad!
The legislative groundwork for the Hate Crime and Public Order Act was laid through rigorous debates, public consultations, and a thorough legislative process.
The Act’s passage was not without controversy, as it sought to tread the fine line between protecting individuals from hate crimes and preserving freedom of speech.

The SNP will use it to their own advantage, we won't be able to say anything against the SNP or supporters but most of the hate in Scotland comes from the SNP and Supporters. The independence campaign is based on hate for the English.

Free speech is a democratic right in any democracy, stating biological facts is not a hate crime, e.g. A man can NEVER become a woman. A dress and makeup does not define a female. When borm male or female, you die male or female.
