Scotland's Hate Crime Act


I have sent the following letter to my Glasgow constituency MSP - the SNP's Kaukab Stewart.

And also to the 7 other Glasgow 'list' MSPs - Anas Sarwar, Pauline McNeil, Pam Duncan-Glancy, Paul Sweeney, Annie Wells, Sandesh Gulhane and Patrick Harvie

Dear Kaukab Stewart

Scotland's Hate Crime Act

I understand the Scottish Parliament will debate a motion on Wednesday to repeal the Hate Crime Act and would urge you to support this motion for the following reasons:

1) The new act deliberately excludes women who make up 51% of the population

2) The implementation of the new law has been a complete farce despite 3 years of planning

3) There is no evidence to support the First Minister's bogus claim of a 'rising tide' of hate in Scotland 

I am sure you are aware that Scottish government ministers are way out of step with public opinion on this issue.

Kind regards



Mark Irvine

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
