Brickbat: Say What?

The Law Society of Scotland, which represents the nation's attorneys, and some members of Parliament have warned the Scottish government that a proposed hate crimes bill is much too vague. The law would make it illegal for people to spread "threatening, abusive or insulting material" no matter what their intent is. "Under these proposals, a person can be criminalized for behavior which another person finds insulting, whether they have meant it or not, which sets an alarming legal precedent and differs from law in England and Wales," said lawmaker James Kelly. "The terminology within these proposals is concerning, especially around the use of 'insulting'—which is subjective and could cause serious legal confusion."

Haggis is a killing word.

Haggis is actually really tasty. It’s probably the world’s most underrated food.

[Adans smith]

I bet you like green bean casserole too.

But how about green bean haggis?

[Earth Skeptic]

With canned french-fried onions on top?

[MatthewSlyfield]

why would you try to deep fry canned onions? Wouldn't it make more sense to take them out of the can before deep frying them?

[Don't look at me!]

That’s not how it’s done.

I'm not sure there are any "real Scots" left in Scotland these days.

[Adans smith]

Their not true Scotts men.

[Rev. Arthur L. Kuckland]

Sure the English are wankers but the Scots are ruled by wankers

Bill collectors hardest hit.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

Does the Scottish parliament have the same kind of Questions time that tne British parliament has? They might find themselves hardest hit.

"The law would make it illegal for people to spread “threatening, abusive or insulting material” no matter what their intent is."

Bad news for the socialists - - - - - - - - - -

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

Only for those socialists who are on the outs with the socialists in power.

[Earth Skeptic]

FFS. If the Scots had been such pussies in the past they would still be serfs on English-owned plantations.

[Art Kumquat]

Same spam bot accounts still posting after weeks. reason lost it.

[loki]

How the hell is this going to fly in a country where every other word is cunt?

[Quo Usque Tandem]

Well it has to be vague to be useful. How are you going to effectively silence your opponents if everything has to be specific and demonstrate intent?

[Dillinger]

if it's not Scottish it's crap.

[Inigo Montoya]
