 @TheGuySwann worrying developments coming out of the basket case that is Scotland at the moment, following Canada’s questionable lead. Take a step back and think who benefits from this, the police can’t police every post on the internet. Someone hurting my feelings is my problem. In my day we said “sticks and stones will break my bone”, but suppose that’s now hate speech. "that a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive," hmmmmm, I’ve listened to politicians, they are no reasonable, this is a law that will end badly.

 Up to 7 years for saying words!  When did it become the governments job to make sure no-one ever has their feelings hurt?
