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

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

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...
