    Great work Maddie 🙂 Personally I wish the police had followed what the law had said and prosecuted JKR - "The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly", and this bad law is desperately in need of being repealed!! Not just for Scotland, but as a warning to Labour not to pass the same legislation UK-wide when they inevitably get into power. As a side note - it's always nice to be able to put a face to a voice - I wish the editors podcast was available in video format - I find faceless voices are harder to follow (especially since I still confuse Jim and MBDs voices...)

    FOR SOME CLARITY!!! The stirring up hatred offence. Since 1986, there has been an offence of stirring up racial hatred. From 1st April 2024, a similar offence is being introduced in Scotland, to cover stirring up hatred on grounds of age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity, or variations in sex characteristics (intersex). The offence of stirring up hatred on one of those grounds applies where someone behaves in a way that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive, and they deliberately intend their behaviour to stir up hatred. The law says it is not an offence if the behaviour was, in the particular circumstances of the case, reasonable. It also says that, when deciding whether the behaviour was reasonable, a court must bear in mind the right to freedom of expression, including that the right applies to expressions that offend, shock or disturb. The law also says that behaviour does not count as threatening or abusive solely because it involves discussion or criticism of matters relating to age, disability, sexual orientation, transgender identity or variations in sex characteristics. To be this offence, the behaviour must be specifically threatening or abusive (not just critical), and it must be done with the intention of stirring up hatred, and not be otherwise reasonable. To give an idea of what kinds of behaviour this might cover, in England there has been a similar offence covering sexual orientation for more than 10 years. A group of people were successfully prosecuted for that offence after they put leaflets through people’s front doors in an English city, calling for the death penalty for LGB people (and including a cartoon of a person being hanged. Now I can only assume that those who have raised concern about this bill (amendment) are either ignorant of the wording/meaning of it, or are scared/ worried about something in it. My view is that, I can't imagine that I'd ever do anything listed above, so it doesn't worry me. Why are so many people panicking about their freedom of speech? The above sets it all out very clearly. Can it be it's another opportunity to have a pop at Scottish government??? Sounds a bit too familiar !!

    I am both a person of Scottish ancestry and an architectural journalist. It cannot be a coincidence that the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, designed by Catalan architect Enric Miralles Moya and opened in 2004, is one of the ugliest buildings in the United Kingdom. Much like the legislators it accommodates, the building celebrates tribal allegiances, dismissal of established social hierarchies and paganism.
