“ I feel the need to open a VPN to Seeland and post something hateful about haggis hunters on their dark web servers.”
I don’t think it has to be a comment about Scottish people. I think comments about any individual or group, no matter where they are in the world and no matter where the comment originates from, can be deemed a hate crime and be subject to this new law, provided someone has read it in Scotland.

Do we? I live in England, England abolished its backwards Blasphemy Laws in 2008. And I live in Scotland so we both live in the same country, just different parts. I presumed that you lived in England tbh. I live in Scotland so we both live in the same country, just different parts. Another part of our country I.e. N.I. still has blasphemy laws so yes, we live in a country with blasphemy laws - although thankfully in neither of the parts that you and I live in. No, we live in a Union of Countries, only one of which has blasphemy laws. All The Best

No sign of jaydee today, has he been detained already? If Ricky overruled this tomorrow he would be returned with an eighty seat majority, but as he won't we will get Starmer who will most likely make this law in England as well, what a mess.

All The Best No, we live in a country comprising the territoriial areas of 3 ex-countries and the ex-territory of a current country, the latter of which has blasphemy laws.

Jeff Taylor: a man who makes reading from an autocue look difficult. All The Best Yes I agree, but rather than focusing on the way he talks, why not focus on what he talks about...
