Police Scotland drowns in hate, insurance companies spy on America, the Great San Francisco Sky Salting, Switzerland maybe says no to population growth
Lao Tzu said: the more laws that are made, the more criminals you will have in society.
Real hate speech has always been self regulating, because people, on the individual level, decide for themselves what is true and what is false, and those who spew vitriol discredit themselves quickly.
If people want this law to go away, file complaints about things officials, and law makers have said.
If a million people made those complaints every day for a month, the law would be recimded.
Loved the Police Scotland story (I'm Scots though living in Sweden). Can easily see many many Scots making up "hate crimes" just to annoy the feck out of the polis. :)

Yes, one of my favourite verses from the Tao is "Governing a large country is like frying a small fish - you spoil it with too much poking. "

Absolutely - the sense of humour is strong north of the Wall.
