Brickbat: You Hate To See It

Police Scotland received thousands of complaints under the nation's new hate crimes law just in the first few days after it took effect. Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf told The Telegraph that "a tiny percentage" of the numerous complaints are "turning into actual investigations," but control room staff is running up overtime weeding through them. Yousaf, who backed the law, said that even if complaints start to dwindle in the future, it will take "weeks or months" and cost "hundreds of thousands of pounds" to work through the backlog.

I wonder how, "Your papers please ... these papers are not in order!" would sound with a Scottish accent ...

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

They're well on their way to stamping out bad thoughts!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Also, I like that they call it the control room.

Has anyone warned the Scottish authorities about this site?

Maybe I should be worried about some of my posts. I think I may have called a few people here dumbasses. I may go into hiding.

The correct term is Intellectually Disabled Donkeys.

"Police Scotland forced to pay overtime to deal with deluge of hate crime complaints" says the link title...

Oblivious solution is oblivious!!! NEED MOAH POLICE!!! Half of the population or more should be qualified, trained, licensed police, to keep a firm hold on ALL of this offensive stuff!!!!

[Crackers Boy]

The Scottish equivalent of SWATting... you report "Hate Speech" and hope your opponent gets caught up in some investigation.

Either that or the non-Woke are using it to overwhelm the authorities into making the entire process unworkable.

Kind of a reverse Cloward-Piven?

How is this a brickbat?
Everything is going exactly as planned.

Saying the wrong thing is about the only crime cops will show up for. Anything else you just file a report online so it's easier to ignore, because they're so busy with investigating criminal speech.

[Social Justice is neither]

If only Scotland weren't such a hetefilled place. Just look at them, you can see how bigoted they are by the color of th neir skin.

Seriously, good on the Scots for exposing this as the racist BS that it is. The only purpose this law serves is to harass the political enemies of the SNP

"...it will take "weeks or months" and cost "hundreds of thousands of pounds" to work through the backlog."

But they're all good-paying union jobs.

I wonder if once-rowdy nations like Scotland that castrate themselves is the societal equivalent of a Dylan Mulvaney (and Bud Light).

[Vernon Depner]

More like a Bruce Jenner.

Won't someone please think of all the feelings that will be hurt in the meantime?

[Brandybuck]

Against the law to call a Scotsman "tight".

[n00bdragon]

Calling someone a "muc" becoming a hate crime in 3, 2, 1...
