Staff working for Police Scotland are being told to read a pre-prepared transcript defending First Minister Humza Yousaf when people call to report him under the odious new ‘hate crime’ law in the country.
As we have previously noted, Yousaf’s infamous ‘anti-white’ rant in front of the Scottish Parliament on the 11th of June 2020 has been repeatedly reported to police under the new law by those opposed to the new legislation.
Now, The Telegraph reports that police have issued an email guide to call centre workers and officers, advising them how to respond if someone brings up the speech as an example of ‘stirring hatred’.
The scripts controllers are made to read claims that Yousaf was referring to his “own personal experience of racism” and that “nothing said in the speech was threatening, abusive or insulting”.
police controllers are also being forced to claim that when Yousaf referred to “white people”, he had been “pointing out a matter of fact”.
“There was no malice or ill will towards any person or group displayed in anything said, and so it does not meet the threshold to be recorded as a non-crime hate incident,” the email obtained by reporters further proclaims.
Responding to the revelation, Sharon Dowey, the deputy justice spokesman for the Scottish Conservative Party urged that “It’s a measure of how farcical Humza Yousaf’s hate crime law is that police officers have effectively been given a script on how to respond to the flood of complaints made against the First Minister under the very legislation that he piloted and introduced.”
Yousaf himself has decalred that anyone reporting his infamous ‘anti-white’ speech as a potential hate crime is “far right.”
The number of reports police are receiving is on course to outnumber the total of all other offences combined as a result of the disastrous new law.
The initial 8000 complaints registered in just the first week, is more than the annual total of all hate crime reports for all previous years.
Calum Steele, the former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, told the Telegraph earlier this week that officers “are genuinely embarrassed. They feel that the service and by extension [they] as individual police officers will catch some of the public brunt.”
Under the new legislation, anyone deemed to have been verbally ‘abusive’, in person or online, to a transgender person, including “insulting” them could be hit with a prison sentence of up to seven years.
