- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2024
- The Scottish government's victims and community safety minister Siobhian Brown talks to Sky's Trevor Phillips about new hate crime laws in Scotland.
The Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act makes it illegal to stir up hatred against certain groups in Scotland.
Ms Brown says: "It would be an offence to incite hatred, to be abusive and threatening, stirring up hatred towards an individual which would cause them fear and alarm".

Over 95% of people in Scotland identify as white yet Humza had a very aggressive rant that most of the people he sees are white and needs more people who are not. This feels extremely racist and needs to be reported
They vote for them ?
The police already commented on it, they don't believe his anti white rant was a criminal offence.
Thousands and thousands of people reported his anti white speech and f.a happened. 2 tier policing
@@flashman2yes the scottish people voted for the SNP they would get independence we all know nicola Sturgeon would have done it she stabbed alex salmond in the back because she wanted to be the Scotland's first minister
humza yousaf was put there after nicola Sturgeon has officially tendered her resignation as Scotland's first minister in a letter to the King. Ms Sturgeon announced last month that she would stand down once a successor was appointed
I think that's already been done.. over 4000 times..
Let’s not forget that this is a blasphemy law via the back door. She cannot define hate. She cannot define fear and alarm. Anyone can report someone and claim they were caused fear and alarm. Therefore anyone can and will claim ‘fear and alarm’ to silence people they disagree with or have an axe to grind with and report them to the police who will investigate. This is going to take up ALL police time - and the police are delighted as they can police this from the comfort of their desks, read social media and emails and do all their work from home even! Much better than being out on the beat tackling burglars, knife crime, physical assault, domestic violence, it’s brilliant.
Exactly
The only ones cheering this Hate speech Law are the criminals who can now be sure the police won’t be there to obstruct them in their nefarious acts
Islam is a dreadfully political Ideology that has already "protected" itself from media critique through violence an intimidation. Of course packing it up as protected is the whole point of this law because it is the religious duty of Muslims to replace such systems they find themselves under with Islam.
These laws create legitimate fear and alarm
Let's legislate for arbitrary personal feelings. Brilliant!
This woman caused me fear and alarm as it terrifies me that she is so flippant with our right. I have therefore decided I must report her.
Don't bother, they won't investigate fkwits.!!!
It terrifies me that such low IQ people can be MSPs.
Agreed. She is frightening! -- reminds me of the Stasi days, in East Germany.
or Frau Farbissina 😂@@charles_preston
I will as well!?
I'm white and Scottish so, it will be alright for Humza Yousaf to continue making racist remarks directed at me then!
Or his people.
Ring the number repot it it’s vile speech and it needs to be stopped
make up something to attack in a comment section. go buy an icecream and play your video game son.
Mate, Humzahhhh made racial remarks.@@cestlextase
In short: he has melanin privilege and power so yes
SNP knows they are finished
Lets not forget that Labour, Lib Dems and the greens all supported this crap. They are all just as bad. Vote Reform people!
This is why the UK Government allowed this to pass, to END the SNP and the Greens.
She can't answer a question.
They’re not a proper party. They are in place of a referendum for the Scottish people to vote on who either don’t want to be part of the union or who just want to voice their displeasure with Westminster.
@@Jeremy-ho3vi she doesn't sound Scottish
The SNP don’t listen to any of their so called stakeholders. Bad law after bad law. The arrogance is breathtaking.
What is a stakeholder.???

@@run2cat4run Not applicable to this video.
@run2cat4run two wrongs don't make a right. We don't need whataboutism in this world. Why not call out what's wrong and what's right rather than pointing out whataboutisms.
@@user-bu9nb8wr6eThe police in Scotland are now going to spend an inordinate amount of time checking every complaint. Most likely it won’t go further but it bogs down police officers who should be dealing with actual crime. It’s a monumental waste of their time.
@user-bu9nb8wr6e nothing to do with the subject of this video which is a serious subject to discuss.
It’s a crime to disagree with them, that’s the new law.
Yes.
It’s a crime to oppose or criticise Islam. THAT is the new law !
As a former member of the SNP who wouldn't now vote for them under any circumstances, all I will say is what this law is doing is destroying the SNP.
I’m not Scottish but I do work here. I would have had sympathy with the SNPs call for an independent Scotland but nonsense like this stupid law would put me off them. I know they aren’t the only party who approved it but they are the biggest.
@@tombarry2523 it was voted by the parliament not one party ..
Based on this gangsterism their destruction cannot come soon enough!
The SNP is destroying itself.

She’s not answering anything at all.

Just sad what SNP have done to my country
Misogyny laws?
We get independance then vote someone ye actually want in yer country not the uk gov that clearly dont care about scotland we are a soverign country stop bendin the knee tae England
@@gallantscotland8590 The SNP was the government that was supposed to give us independence, but they didn't. And now they never will because they have just imploded themselves and will slide drastically at the next election.
Scotland may now never become an independent country thanks to this law. Well done SNP!
Vote them out
Your real rulers operate from 🇮🇱
Worrying that ministers of the people, making laws for the people, cannot explain them to the people
Also how the time and money could have been used in other ways.
Exactly what i thought...they haven't got a clue.
Shows how poo the law they've made is from a value free PoV. They can't even do a totalitarianism properly. These people are NGMI.
Worrying that people can't read the actual bill and understand it. Should have stuck in at school.
Yeah that was exactly what bothered me. She kept trying to evade giving simple clear explanations
Speaking the truth is not hate. It isn’t a threat. It isn’t a call for violence. It’s simply THE truth based on FACT.
Whos truth?Perhaps they think your views are silly.With freedom of speech comes responsibility.Scotland have some class!
And from truth we conclude the reality.
Exactly
@purplepoppyz.There are different interpretations of facts. The T R U T H makes people angry. The reason why it is buried.
"It's my understanding" eh? She is a minister in the government that brought this legislation in! She doesn't have a clue. 🤦♂
This is normal - the actual legislation is written by lawyers, so as to be watertight.
@@RaRa-eu9mw If that is the case, then the old adage holds true.
"What is 400 lawyers under the sea"?
"A good fkn start"!!!
Typical snp minister spouting a word salad of idiocy.
In short she knows what this "law" is. And she knows it's not a mere "Hate Law". So what sort of law could it be? Bit of *religion* slipped in?
I found Yusuff's white white white speech offensive , will the police investigate that?
They’ve already said they won’t investigate anything before the law came in, including that. We’ll just have to wait for his next one, which won’t be long as he hates white people.
No
It was a response to claims that ethnic race was over represented in top positions. Taken out of context and weaponised against SNP, whats new.
No, never in a million years.
The police have already, YES, ALREADY 'investigated his hate speech and have said it was prior to useless' day, (sorry, April fools day) and that there is nothing to answer for under this new law!!
So if what this minister just said is true how did humza get away with a hate speech about white people? I find there to be a bit of a contradiction?
Many people have been brainwashed into believing it’s not racism if it’s against white people
That wasn't hate speech, moron.
What did he say ?
i presume he drips with 'protected characteristics' which endow him with the liberties confiscated from the rest of us.
@@BertsmomUKsearch for this Humza Yousaf Racist Rant about white people in Scotland
Scotland out here protecting the groomers while arresting people over non-issues. Typical.
Protecting the invaders.
She lied.
These new Scottish laws are just like the new Hong Kong laws banning criticism of the Chinese government.
They apply to statements and actions that are read or heard in Scotland, (even if they posted or originate abroad), so your comments on social media, if aired in Scotland, can be reported and investigated.
This will lead to some very strange scenarios where someone in England might say something on Twitter, that is legal according to English law, get reported in Scotland, investigated by an English police force, required to attend court in Glasgow, then get convicted for a Scottish crime, despite never having set foot in Scotland before.
And FYI the burden of proof lays with the person "feelings", and the simple accusation.
The hate crime act wouldnt be workable if it were the rules for a playground. As a mechanism of law, its just going to be used as blasphemy laws, and as a way to arrest the political opposition.
Well said 👍
Scotland once was a great country. Look at the state of it now.
The West was once the greatest civilisation. Look at the state of it now.
when was it ever great ? Like really ?
I don't think it'll affect me too much - after 60 years of being an opinionated bigot I'm not going to change my ways now.
Damm your eyes sir! Well done.
Love me some realist
Embrace it. I have. Badge of honour in a world of weak woke
😂😂
The old firm ... Will never be the same again ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a white Scottish racist Im offended
I am not a racist but I certainly hold strong views regarding some people's religious beliefs. Especially allanssnackbar.
The Scottish Paliament shouldn't have any powers to create these kinds of laws, because it creates different crimes in different parts of the UK. This is complete madness.
It doesn't have the power, because, as I keep telling people.!!
It's a DEVOLVED ASSEMBLY.!!!!!
There are different laws for the two parts of the country, its called devolution, its just if a law should interfere with ones made in Westminster, like that one about changing your legal birth cert gender was claimed to (not taking sides its objective truth).
No Government should be able to bring in such an Evil LAW
Westminster could have interveined and didn't.
The Nat's would have loved that interference, 😅
Lets say I keep mentioning that Aisha was 9. Facts aren't a hate crime.
Is going to hell a fact?
Just dont draw a picture
She was 6 when the illiterate war monger took her, 9 when they married.
I'm afraid they are. A Glaswegian member of the BNP once got 10 months for an election leaflet the judge admitted was true. He said it doesn't matter, it's likely to inspire racial hatred therefore it's illegal.
Ooooh, careful, they do not want to hear that!
Fear is subjective. Some people are afraid of shadows. This is madness.
Don't worry! There is a white paper to make shadows illegal.
What is this dystopia
Great interview, embarrassing level of stupidity by SNP minister
She's ducking and diving because she knows it's ridiculous. I love this ( it's my understanding) that means sod all.
Shes a psychopath
Siobhian Brown struggled badly. That was hilarious.
Clueless 😂😂
Not even Scottish ffs
Nor is Ayatollah Hamas Useless
She’s a f&&&&&(g New Zealander - they are all fuckin inbreds
Why is she here trying to split up the UK?
Where is Humza by the way? Hiding again perhaps.
Alasdair, he is just a convenient pawn in this for the mases to h8 . we need to look at the bigger picture.
He'll be sitting with the head of police Scotland telling them to drop the drug charges against his brother in law!!
What needs to be done is an hour long show on tv with the authors explaining it in front of an audience and inviting questions. I cannot think of a more confusing and ill thought out piece of legislation in my 65 years.
She doesn’t even know the law that she was part responsible for introducing
Is anyone surprised?
What a joke, hopefully the police will have better things to do.
Excuse the pun
They have money and resources to play gestapo but not to solve violent crimes or real crimes.
Does this woman come from the south side of Glasgow? It must be quite far south.
West end.

Very far south of the median IQ. range.!!!!
Dumb as a bag of hammers.!!!

Shes English 😂😂
I’m Scottish and Oh my god the irony from this SNP MSP person who I haven’t even heard of, the SNP are the absolute worst for stirring up hatred! Even Sturgeon stated she “hates” the Tories and because it came from their beloved Nicola all her voters commented stating they agree! Yousless and his WHITE rant!
59 years of age and Scottish and white. Non religious so free of childhood indoctrinated religious beliefs. Always a SNP voter never again. In today's society we should with modern technology all be able to vote for or against these laws rather than a politically motivated overpaid representatives. How think they know better than the rest of the us. End political elitism.
Nothing wrong with hating the Tories after their incompetence running the UK government for the last 14 years. Saying that, this new legislation brought in by the SNP has to be the most pointless and ill thought out new laws I have ever heard of.
@@tombarry2523 let’s face it the SNP don’t have any gold stars on their homework either and they are only overseeing 5/6 million people, while the Tories are overseeing 65 million!
"Criminality in those comments" ... sounds like 1940s Germany. Be very weary of this party.
Protection for the most privelidged people in the country to paint all valid criticism as hate.
Psychopaths eyh
There should be NO Misogyny laws unless laws against Misandry are also included!
WHAMs (White Heterosexual Adult Men) deserve Rights and Protections too!
They’re a minority in London, but not Scotland, so??
YEAH! cos 62,000 men are being beaten in their homes every year!
@@beesafe6234 That’s horrific, men are always overlooked. Feminism has ruined so much.
@@TheAArmstrong Get things in perspective. 53% percent of all the women murdered in the UK are murdered by their male partner. 'Only' 5% of murdered men are killed by their female partners. Most men are murdered by other men. So although female on male violence is often a neglected problem don't try and make out that it is anywhere near the equivalent of male on female violence.
Stop muddling the issue.. Hate crime laws are dangerous in their entirety. .
At the next Celic v. Rangers game the entire crowd will be arrested, plus everybody watching in a pub.
😂🤣😆😆🤣😂
The funniest comment so far!
That's probably a good thing.
This bill causes me fear and alarm. I will report it to police scotland. Fingers crossed I get justice
Report her
A law where it's so vague that the police can just decide if an act is in breach of it or not.
What could possibly go wrong??
I will NOT be changing my ways for ANYONE BELIEVE ME !
Domestic violence is already an offence.
Obviously.
Yes, he wanted to compare hate crimes for which no law existed against domestic violence which is already heavily legislated against.
Jule, but not a hate crime yet
An offence by thanks to protected characteristics and that nonsense it means the laws don't protect men but do female abusers.
How strange, human rights don’t protect people anymore ?
a backdoor to introduce a blasphemy law…
The greasy pole into a police state the damage is not what is said rather what is not said due to fear of speaking out.
Very dangerous mistake Scotland.
Tweet it in england then hop back over the border 😂
😂😂😂
It's coming to England too, pal.
She can't answer simple questions!!! She doesn't know and has no idea!!! Unbelievable!!!
"Minister for Victims and Community Safety" what does that even mean? 5 figure salary for doing what exactly?
To feel like a 'do gooder'
The biggest problem with 'hate speech/crime' is that no one - to my knowledge - has defined what hate speech actually is. The Scottish law does not either - in concrete terms and examples. But only vague language. Useless junk.
Exactly as designed. Which means they can change the rules at any time.
It's deliberately vague, that allows the SNP to twist the new law to fit any 'hate-crime' or anti-Scottish government dissent that they decide they need to 'shut down'..
The latest Office for National Statistics figures (2022/23) show that one in three victims of domestic abuse are male equating to 751,000 men (3.2%) and 1.38 million women (5.7%). From this, 483,000 men and 964,000 women are victims of partner abuse. However, the SNP only want to legislate for misogyny, ignoring misandry?
Yep.
Men don't count and if we had real policing and laws free from left wing murican nonsense and feminism then those stats would have fewer women as victims and more men.
Closer to the truth.
That's why the police, governments and women want to turn this into a solely female issue like they have with trans and don't want to give men the same rights and protections.
Bad for publicity and votes.
No such thing as "protected characteristics" in the real world.
Now we must call a spade a garden folk,as we are afraid to call it what it is.
No problem! Just refer to it as an "outside working utensil!" Oh........Bollocks!!!!!
