No Dana, I do not know what Scottish law is on this subject. Perhaps you can fill us in on the intricacies of the Prevention of Rudeness by Right-Wing Bloggers in Other Countries Act.
It is as a result of the utterings of a rather tired looking, English, Ann Coulter wanna-be. The police received complaints and had to investigate to determine if a criminal offence had occurred. That's kind of their job. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/katie-hopkins-views-are-now-considered-matters-for-law-enforcement-and-it-is-utterly-terrifying-9953339.html So the "my racist speech is free speech" and "you mean this isn't America?" crowd are all up in arms about it. She. like Ezra, wouldn't be even noticeable if it wasn't for how thoroughly unpleasant and sad they are. The police will probably come back and say "nothing criminal happened" and that will be that. But unlike here where accusations of criminality against the PM are largely ignored by the RCMP, the Scottish Police seem to be actually doing their job.
Oh, that's hilarious.

ReplyDeleteDo any of you know what Scottish law is on this subject?
ReplyDeleteI'll wager not.
