HUMZA Yousaf has responded after the Scottish Tories announced they would force a vote on repealing Scotland’s new hate crime laws.
Monday how the Scottish Tories have called on Anas Sarwar and Alex Cole-Hamilton’s parties to back their calls to repeal the legislation’s Good Morning Scotland programme, Yousaf was asked if it was time to repeal the laws after a “shaky start”.
“The point is you had a number of bad faith actors, I read the article by The Observer which showed a leader of the far-right for example encouraging vexatious complaints. “Let’s go back to why we have a Hate Crime Act. We have a Hate Crime Act because in 2021/22, we had almost 7000 reports of hate crime.
The line to the First Minister was then lost on Good Morning Scotland although he did return quite quickly. “And they thought a standalone bill would be much better and of course we’ve consulted on a standalone bill and that would cover some offences that are covered by hate crime acts such as statutory aggravation, stirring up of hatred against women and girls but it goes further than that.
