Hate crime reports in Scotland are on course to outnumber the total of all other offences combined as a result of the disastrous new law that has been weaponized by political activists.
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.
After conservatives made a mockery of the legislation and deranged left-wing activists exploited it to target their political adversaries, officers have been deluged with vexatious reports, with one top official complaining “we cannot cope.”
The sheer number of bad faith complaints coming in is ludicrous.
“Around 8,000 hate crime reports have been made in the first week of the new Scottish legislation coming into force, which, if replicated through the year, would surpass the entire annual total of 416,000 crimes reported to police, according to an analysis of official data by The Telegraph.”
“This would mean that hate crime reports would overtake overall crime within 36 weeks, or at least by the autumn, and dwarf the annual 58,000 reported assaults, the most common offence in Scotland, by a factor of 10.”
David Threadgold, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, said the numbers were proof the new law had been “weaponized” to pursue personal and political vendettas, a throwback to the Communist and Nazi era, when informants filed false reports on neighbors they didn’t like.
Police Scotland is already struggling to respond to actual crimes such as sexual assaults and car thefts, and the drain on resources caused by the hate crime law will only exacerbate that issue.
As we previously highlighted, Police Scotland admitted that the new law could create “additional demand” and worsen a “resource implication” for police.
This followed a trial of a separate program set to be implemented across the country to stop investigating crimes like theft and criminal damage, which authorities acknowledge will help criminals.
Calum Steele, the former general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, told the Telegraph that his phone has “barely stopped buzzing” from colleagues contacting him after the passage of the law.
Describing the reaction as a “metaphorical holding of heads,” Steele says there’s a feeling that policing “seems to have lost its compass.”
“People are genuinely embarrassed. They feel that the service and by extension [they] as individual police officers will catch some of the public brunt,” he said.
If only they’d listened to literally almost everybody who predicted this would happen before the law was passed.

The solution is simple. Either immediately repeal this stupid law (the most logical step), or add an amendment which makes it a crime to file a vexatious complaint.
We must FORGET the violent crime of the Foreign Nazis’ mass-imported criminal terrorists and concentrate on the Humans (Whites) who are being Genocided and don’t like it!
HEIL STALIN!
