A Hate Crime?

That is him out of a job.

why is it you can make a joke out of the c of e , and woody allen can do stand up jokes how his people??  Very funny he was too.
Likewise the N word stuff and richard prior, eddy murphy  equally funny

but we know why

He's been on question time, HUGE chip on his shoulder and attempting to play the victim card, awful personality.
Not surprised he's acted like that at all, running to teacher to get someone in trouble.

Aye it was a green motor.

With a new precedent  being set  regularly on what is regarded a hate crime, any criticism of anyone or anything will fall into this category soon.

Why doesn't calling someone a racist be regarded as a hate crime when it's malicious and intended to cause offense?

It's only a matter of time before it does the way we're going.

And have certain people got a shock coming when happens and backfires on them.

Like when someone posts true reports of beheadings etc. the posters are to blame not the group committing the acts

offence rather.
I slipped into American English.

ANNOY   is actually in the wording  - so you only have to annoy someone to be reported

Anything in what you say, that can be connected to their race or religion in a negative way.

Excluding stuff said about Christianity and white people.

Transport Minister Humza Yousaf and Labour MSP Anas Sarwar have told BBC Scotland that racism and Islamophobia are getting worse in Scotland.

Appearing together on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland, they both said they frequently received violent death threats via social media and in emails.

The MSPs said members of the Muslim community and other faiths had reported increasing levels of abuse.

This included on the street and while engaged in work.

Some of the abuse Mr Yousaf and Mr Sarwar have encountered was highlighted recently.

Earlier this week, a Dumfries and Galloway Labour councillor who admitted making an Islamophobic comment about Mr Yousaf was suspended by his party.

Jim Dempster told transport officials at a meeting that "no-one would have seen [Mr Yousaf] under his burka".

In January, another Labour councillor was suspended following allegations of racist remarks about Mr Sarwar.

Richard Leonard, the leader of Scottish Labour, has pledged to take action to drive racism out of the party.

'Undercover mission'
Mr Yousaf said the "vile abuse" targeted at him was on a weekly and, at times more frequent, basis.

The minister, who encountered racial abuse growing up, said what shocked him now was the level of violence in the messages sent to him.

He said: "People will constantly refer to taking a bullet to me.

"I think 99% of them are probably mouth and no trousers, but that being said if the 1% take up that threat it is very, very serious indeed."


Mr Yousaf added: "What is worrying is that young people are seeing this face to face now.

"We are are hearing more Islamophobic and racist remarks right to our faces, and people are feeling emboldened post-Brexit and because of other factors too."

Mr Sarwar said he had received threats on social media, in emails and in message left on his office phone. They included threats to burn down his offices.

Other abuse included questions about his loyalties to Scotland and the UK and that he was part of an "undercover mission to impose Sharia law".

He said that while he and Mr Yousaf were "blessed in a way" of having a platform to highlight and challenge the abuse, the majority of people who were targeted in the same way were too frightened to their experiences in public.

Mr Sarwar said: "In wider society, it is the 'dinosaurs' who will say stupid things and crass, offensive things, but we shouldn't pretend it will be phased out with age and time."

He said not just Muslims, but people of other faiths, including Sikhs, were encountering the same types of abuse.

Mr Yousaf added that unlike previous generations who felt they had suffer their abuse in silence, people today were prepared to bring it out in the open in an effort to tackle it.

Vile abuse really, Rotherham,Telford and many other towns across the country is where the real vile abuse is happening and it is extreme rascism.

They've called so many people racists that they've worn the word out.

They be complaining that somebody gave them a racist look next.

the globalists have played a blinder with project racism. Its now firmly at the top of the tree of all issues in life, ahead of any other concerns people have in their life including their own security, physical safety and that of their own children.

I had to turn the radio off when I heard this on Radio Scotland earlier this morning.  Otherwise I would have put it out the window

"chased me round his shop with an air freshener, saying I smelled of curry"

POLICE SCOTLAND:   "its a crime to pick on someone because of who they are attracted to, gender they identify with , their disability, their race, their religion or BELIEF "

Christians will always be fair game especially in this country

It definitely makes them racist.  For me the acid test of whether someone is racist or not is how they would react if their son or daughter got married to someone from a different race or religion.

Seemingly the councillor who made the comment that angered Humza is a shopkeeper and 2 people have come forward to say he made anti-islam comments to them, one in the 80s and one in the 90s.
He bought the shop in 1991 so at least one of them is lying. My gues is both.
