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.

This bill is the same as the one passed in England a few years ago. The bitterness we are seeing now is shamelessly directed at the SNP and Scotlands drive towards Independence. Your blatant bias is obvious, spawned from Unionism and won’t work.

I have far moreto say than this square box can fill...all ill say is it is the end of the Scottish Enlightenment. Everyone should be protected without exception, and all equally.

We need SNP out of Holyrood. They are beyond shame. The voting system needs an overhaul...it is beyond belief this party thinks we will tolerate their disgraceful attempt to control us.
