What on earth is happening to my country Scotland - the lunatics have truly taken over the asylum 😢
Unfortunately enough people voted in this set of clowns …..
And still we do nothing
It's really sad. Last time I visited the UK, most people were totally oblivious to the things going on - I as a "foreigner" would tell them things going on in the country, and they would be clueless at best, and wilfully ignorant at worst.
@@AAWT , that is because they get their news from the BBC (British bolshevik corporation ) which deliberately does not provide the news that the population needs to know about, but fills their heads with wokey dope nonsense instead…..
@@AAWT….I know what you mean, I’m originally from the UK but thankfully I don’t live there now! I watch from afar and shocked at how wilfully ignorant people are. They just don’t want to listen…they will all complain when it’s too late! 🤦🏻♀️
Andrew Doyle and Kellie-Jay together what a treat.
'They may take our lives but they'll never misgender our sex offenders!!'
Love it....😂😂😂
Scottish police and politicians do seem to be saying that don't they
Kellie-Jay is right, as always. She is invaluable in this debate. And ideological laws are never a good idea - they have destructive, rather can constructive, results.
So perhaps it's time to stop voting for these lunatics.
Already done. They won’t be getting my vote.
Never have
J K is a brilliant lady😊
I'm gathering the SNP hasn't learned from its trans debacle
I now understand how Galileo felt when forced to admit that the world was flat. Thank God he wasn't born in Scotland.
No, he wasn't.
You really need to learn some history. It had been agreed that the Earth was round for thousands of years before Galileo was born and there's no evidence that it was being debated during his lifetime.
The SNP will go down in history as the beginning of the decline of a fine people, famous for so many great things in British history, but now at the cutting edge of the decline before the fall.
They hobnobbed with the actual Nazis in the 1930s.
Insanity
Willoughby is a man, JK Rowling is not a criminal and the NHS stopped abusing children's puberty, in the name of gender - NO MORE LIES!! Thank you Kellie Jay and Andrew, keep making it make sense! #POW
🙄
Succinctly put, thank you!
Blame Labour and the Greens in Scotland for voting for this as well.
And the Lib Dems
Just blame anyone that complies with these ridiculous rules!
They can’t arrest everyone!
Use ur people power & mock it 💪🏴
And some Cons... And. Labour..
Across the board facists.
No official body will go after JKR because she could put up a very long expensive legal fight.
It will be the ordinary people, especially women, who will not be able to afford the fight.
Orwellian is an understatement!!
Indeed. Orwell on steroids. And puberty blockers.
Scottish Labour also voted for this law.
Yes and bear in mind England if Labour wins they will introduce this law into England.
@@joce11and terrifyingly labour will, because the supposed Conservative Party and the fascist left media have done literally everything they can to make sure they will
Any women who votes Labour is voting for a party who will sell them down the river to appease the far left members of their party who support the Trans cult
I had no idea they did! More reason to vote Reform?
Missed out the Lib Dems, the Greens & one lone Tory.
Maybe not that contentious after all.
I feel for the Scottish people, especially the women. Trans ideology is a lie and it seems Humza useless is also pushing for blasphemy laws through the back door under the cloak of be kind. JKRowling and Kellie-Jay Keen are both legends.
WTF happened to Scotland? I thought they used to be tough and appreciated a little direct language. Now they competing with Trudeau's Canada to be the world's most snowflakey nation. They making Jacinta Ardern's NZ look reasonable.
I think it's the long winter nights that drives people insane.
Lets be clear the people of Scotland do not support this at all, I think it will fail badly. The SNP are not intouch with any of us.
@@cougarcartel4658 People never do anything until it directly affects them. It's how the Nazis took over Germany. By the time people realised what was happening it was too late.
They ALL leave.
Courgatel. Same everywhere. Most of the public don’t understand where things are heading. All the parties are heading in the same direction just on different trains. The conservatives are a shower but the least bad lot on this stuff
There are bad ideas and then there are bad ideas. I find the very concept of hate speech laws chilling. To be honest it all seems so spectacularly dumb that it's hard to credit. What times we are living through.
Thank you Kellie-Jay and Andrew.
I can see myself landing up in prison someday.
I’m Scottish and fully intend to test the limits of this new law. Obviously you may never hear from me again but…happy to take one for the team as it were. Wish me luck.
This is what happens to men of conviction...
They are going to need some very big prisons, most of the population will be inside!
The way things are going anyone that isn't a mindless drone or is of any consequence runs that risk. The Scottish have allowed themselves to be hijacked.
You won't need to develop prison onset gender dysphoria will you.
I was up from the south east in a taxi in Edinburgh recently, having a good laugh with the taxi driver (I'm originally from Glasgow) about all sorts, when I cracked a joke about the trans nonsense - nothing particularly offensive just typical west of Scotland banter. The response was silence for the rest of the trip. Now this was an ordinary working class bloke. What I'm seeing as a visitor to a place I once knew very well is that ordinary people are being cowed into silence. I think the rot set in when the drink-drive limit was made far tighter than England - now you can't even have a half pint with your meal in the pub. More than anything it signified the censorious, neo-Presbyterian, politically correct dystopia Scotland is descending into. The model seems to be Ireland, another place where the miserabilists in the political class have taken over. Embarrassing for a Scot to admit but I'm so glad I live in England now - the proud English will never be slaves to this nonsense and the pushback when it comes will be glorious. It's already shaping up well.
Until Labour come into power and push restrictions on free speech and gender nonsense etc.... very sad how the working class guy you met had been silenced. This law seems to be working
Omg! Omg! Andrew Doyle and Kelly Jay?! What smashing fun!
Look at Ireland where the PM resigned as the people voted down his reform acts . That's the problem with politicians and media being so aloof from the people they serve.
Also in England was Katie Hopkins not made bankrupt for perceived distress
Drakeford likewise. Hamza Usless next on the chopping block. Yet still they throw cultural bones to the left wing creating a toxic culture which will simply make the majority of citizens get more furious - the centre collapses - again. It's their policies that are forcing us to the tails in the distribution curve. Stupid. Meanwhile,we're off somewhere where we can sit this next decade out and focus on growth.
The so-called hate crime bill must be repealed.
Along with the GRA. This madness does not begin to stop until the GRA is repealed.
every Scot, every Brit has the moral obligation to totally ignore this 'hate speech' law , i will be for for starters. The Scottish police can have my address, i don't fear incompent fascists, neither should anyone
Well said, count me in.
You sound glorious.
On April the 1st, tens/hundreds of thousands of Brits in all parts of Britain should send a message to the Scottish Police Federation @ScotsPolFed stating "Transwomen are MEN". They should do what the pro-Hamas crowds are doing to the Met - completing overwhelming them with numbers.
@@penfro remember they are incapable of mass enforcement, they won't go after Rowling, 2 powerful, 2 well known.
So they will target say an autistic 16 year old girl, a 90 year who says there are 2 many immigrants. They will use it to scare the population into submission, of course this will backfire as , their failure to enforce, the 2 tier nature, as the protected class 'Muslims' will never be called up on their homophobia, or hatred of trans people and general racism
So it will actually just hurt the SNP and Woke culture in general, remember these people are not smart, they are not our betters. It's a bluff by incompetents and they will be tested and will fail
@@penfro Scotland has 16k police in total . They could use every copper and would still be outnumbered in a rangers , celtic game.
From April 1st , i will intentionally break Scottish law,(because it's immoral, racist , will cause harm) i will be excercising my god given right , even though im an athiest to use my right to speak freely, for what my ancestors fought for.
A moronic pipsqeak Islamist will not stop me
It will not stop me from going to Scotland and i would love if they attempted to arrest me, i don't fear these people, and that's the only con they have , the impression of power. Well this will show they have NONE.
again they have my name , i don't hide from fascists like the SNP
I feel Kellie-Jay has been some what sidelined. I don't see her half as much as she probably deserves, she has such a strong message. She mentioned the crazy transgender protected status. The irony is that a man calling himself a women has misgendered himself but if you call that out its called misgendering. 🤣🤣
It irritates that she is introduced as a feminist when a 5 minute search of her beliefs make this clear; I think it is rather disrespectful tbh
@@pixie3458 Good point and the differences between feminism and Kelly Jay are one of the reasons she has a strong message which is cutting through the crap. I remember feminism was always about belittling men which is not where Kelly is coming from at all.
She is often censored in media, TH-cam has banned her for a week again after a “complaint” I expect.
I’m going to see if I can get charged with the slightly lesser crime of ‘dislike speech’.
How about 'only slightly unpleasant' speech. That could be worth a try.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good grief, how could this nonsense come from the land of William Wallace?
I am Scottish and now witnessing stupidity in the SNP as Dietrich Bonhoeffer understood it. Very dangerous times.
The Scottish parliament has been a progressive echo chamber for years. It's tyranny
We all have an obligation to ignore this ridiculous law I for one will be.
It feels like Sharia law starting in Scotland
The clue is your leader is a Muslim.
Thank you Kellie-Jay! #LWS #POW
It must be millions to pay for development and implementation. Who are the "consultants"? How much? Who are the trainers? How much are they paid? Who is the PR firm? How much are they paid? How many police hours are devoted to training and at what cost? How much is spent on print, TV, radio, at what cost? How many bureaucrats and their staff, for development hours, at what cost? How many politician hours, at what cost? How many hours training prosecutors? At what cost? How many hours training judges? At what cost?
And a totally no-risk business delivering these 'services' ...No intelligence needed, a fantastic business opportunity, like DEI, a no-brainer
There will be a tsunami of complaints exposing this foolishness.
Given that the Scottish have allowed themselves to be hijacked by this dangerous activist masquerading as a leader of Scotland and the SNP in general, I wouldn't hold my breath. For some reason the Scottish have allowed themselves to be totally distracted by a party that has run the country into the ground and continually points their finger over the border, while at the same time being elbows deep in the cash register.
In the Land of "FREEDOM of speech"... 🤣 😂
Have a look at what Gove has planned. This BS will be in England soon.
The SNP, the party that just keeps giving especially in creating divisions amongst the population of Scotland.
Women in Scotland need to have a day when they all meet and one way or another commit so called offences and push the legal system to the limit. The authorities will start with cautions first, followed with court appearances and fines. Wilful refusal to pay fines can lead to a prison sentence. Droves of Grandmothers going to jail will over run the prison system and make the population realise the systems been caught and influenced by a minority cult.
That sounds like something that could be accomplished on one of the ‘Let Women Speak’ days organised by Kellie-Jay Keene.
April 6th, in Edinburgh
Scotland has fallen.
It's to introduce a Blasphemy Law by the back door.😡
Very true. Though, it is barely hidden at this point. But even though it is almost blatant, the Scott's are happy to drop their trousers and bend over for Hamza Useless. I can scarcely believe this sort of thing keeps happening.
William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!
SNP "Hold my beer, Challenge Accepted "
"Haud ma Tennants"😂
Andrew Doyle is such a good guy and speaks so eloquently, I'd like to see more of him on Spectator TV.
I would be interested to hear Amy Wilentz's explanation for why Haiti is a failed state but yet the Dominican Republic - with which it shares the island - is a functioning democracy with the largest economy in the Caribbean. The DC, too, has had its fair share of political unrest, and imperial interference, but has been a stable nation (comparatively) for the last forty years.
Vote Reform.
Tory - Lite,
No seats for Tories
Pro jab,pro ukraine.Seeing it yet ?
Every Scotish person needs to troll this law so much so that the police force have thousands of cases to investigate and no time for thought crime. Then it will collapse.
Look forward to the next Celtic v Rangers footy match with fans singing ' We will overcome' ' kumbya' and 'Id like to teach thd world to sing ' in perfect harmony unded the new SNP directive
Automatic click for KJK! I am a fan of AD too!
Won't Scotland be working against the protected characteristic of Gender Critical beliefs?
Social engineering via applied post-modernism.
No labour or con. . Vote Reform
Tice is controlled opposition. I'll be voting for them, but I don't have much hope.
The only question i have is what happened to the pug? Did it get a stretch? It would not surprise me at all to find that police Scotland are so pathetic as to do something like that 🙂
I somehow doubt that Hamza Yousaf will be too bothered about an anti semetic dog. He has an entire country of white people he doesn't much like to deal with before he gets to their pets. Give him time )
Nazionalism, sozialism and islamism. What could go wrong?
Straighten the tie Freddy, straighten the tie….😂
I realised that Sunak can't control Scottish criminal law, but why is he silent?
Because they are WEF too.
It's not that workers "feel" that their wages haven't gone up with inflation, it's that they haven't gone up with inflation.
Go Kelly, go Andrew. Let truth win out.
will there be tartan burkas?
Please read & think about George Orwells book 1984, which was written after the 2nd world war was over.
It is not the duty of Western Liberal Democracies to destroy their own countries by taking in those fleeing less civilised countries. It is the duty of Western Liberal Democracies to preserve themselves and offer a beacon of light as to how it could be best done for all.
Surely juries wouldn’t convict JK Rowling or Kellie-Jay?
Paul Mason another one of these types that predicts glorious benefits from ridiculous and terrible ideals. Then when the country suffers as a result of their crackpot ideas is no where to be found.
I wonder why a comparison with the Dominican Republic and Haiti was not made?
I'm shutting down all my social media at the end of this month. I've already planted prickly hedges all around my garden. This is a direct result of the tyranny - not just in Scotland, but because the UK.
It's not safe to interact with anyone outside of your immediate family.
We've never been social types, but we've interacted to be sociable and neighbourly. So for us it's no bad thing to 'pull up the drawbridge' and create our own little oasis of normality. We have a largish, nice garden with rural outlooks. We have our dogs. We grow our own food, have woodburner (free wood) solar etc.Chickens and ducks.
Unless people plan to get involved in some kind of violent uprising I think this is the only thing we can do. We're in a position to retire early.
I never understood what the Matrix film was all about at the time, but boy do I get the storyline now. Absolutely ANYONE can be an agent of the state at any time (we saw that during lockdown).
However people choose to deal with the reality we find ourselves in - I don't see it ending well. We are no longer a cohesive society. We are no longer a society - period.
Even immediate family is no guarantee as Hamza Useless and his ilk set up methods to snitch on people. It is going to be heading in the direction of Pol Pot's Cambodia and Mao's China.
April Fools. How apt ☠️☠️☠️
Before The Enlightenment there were The Dark Ages!
Freddie’s cadence drains the life out of discussion
Snitches get stitches.
Yep. Scotland needs to put the band back together. 😂
stop blaming history, USA, France etc... for Haiti, a long time of independence and responsibility is on their hands, Haiti plays victim
Sadly this guest had exactly nothing useful to submit and went through the entire out-moded intersectional reading of Haitian politics.
(You could almost time her weak talking-points as the interview went on, it gave me a chuckle)
She will forever be trapped by Universalist thought and dismiss the underlying cultures that create failed states.
Paul Mason ex Channel 4 news hard Leftie.
would I be arrested for expressing how much I hate this idiotic law?
Ideal! Love the Freddy. I live in the German Democratic Republic of Scotland(DDR)... Kate as well! and TikTok ban?
Paul's idea of redistribution, take from the productive and give to the lazy
Vote Conservative. Not quite as bad as Labour. No thanks. The Conservative Party must go the way of the Liberal Party. We need a party that will Conserve our culture, our hard won freedoms. A party that will reverse the bigotry shown towards our Indigenous population and prevent us from becoming a minority in our own nation.
I totally agree. I will be voting Reform.
It’s not that people don’t care about Haitians it’s more what can we do? Decades & billions & it’s still a hellscape. It’s never managed to get even close to righting itself. We’ve inculcated the people into learned helplessness, to wait on outsider help or to abandon their country & rely on another to take care of them. And when nothing improves somehow it’s still all our fault?! Perhaps stepping back & forcing them to stand on their own two feet to fix their own country & future that they want is the only way. And this applies all over the developing world - decades of trillions being thrown at humanitarian efforts with absolutely no progress made. Just ballooning demographics which only exacerbates other underlying issues. Maybe it’s just time we accept not everywhere can be be turned into a wealthy liberal democracy. And certainly not concocted by aid agencies. It has to come bottom up & internally because otherwise it’s not only going to fail but you have to start wondering if it’s what the people truly want since they’re not doing it for themselves.
Humza wants to target comedians; the Edinburgh Festival and fringe will be fun this year. It will be dancing and music next. If he gets away with this, will he try to ban non Halal food? Be certain Sir Keir’s Islamic advisors will be taking notes.
"De-risking" business always leads to taxpayer bailouts down the line. You might as well de-risk gambling. What is the difference between de-risking and deregulating?
Item 1: Unilaterally revoke the union and abolish the Barnett formula. Item 2: Grant refugee status to Jk Rowling and other potentially political prisoners. Item 3: Close the border. ECML terminates at Newcastle, WCML at Carlisle, and a single border crossing point at Junction 45 on the M6. Tariffs on Scottish goods to be phased in over 12 months. We cannot accommodate a fascist state on our northern border, or can we?
The woman speakjng about Haiti suggests you can buy automatic weapons in the the US and import them to Haiti. You can't. Automatic weapons were banned in 1988 by the Reagan administration.
What evidence is there for the statement "important conversations were held in these places from which women were excluded?" Women need to understand that sometimes, you're just not in the conversations men have with other men.
I can’t take anyone seriously when they talk about Biden as if he were in possession of his faculties, when clearly he’s not and hasn’t been his entire time in office.
And sound Americans see what a catastrophic failure Yellin had been for three years at the Reserve. The combo of the Biden crime family and Yellin has been so destructive its not funny.
Thank you for having one of the darlings of the Left talk about Haiti. Next time, could you find someone who is more even handed and does not hate his/her homeland even though he/she has led a privileged life.
That lady doesn't seem to know about Haiti post independence, the slavery or genocide and migration of French speakers thereafter.
Freddy speak faster man. What's the matter with you?
For the police this bill is the easiest option for tickbox policing. Burglary- bottom of the list, drugs- despite having high es drug rate in Europe, answer legalise drugs . Rape - are you sure, hours of interrogation. The Fringe -no funding, maybe we should cancel - so where are these wonderful Scots actors standing together and defending freedom of speech. Many of their acting parts in the past would possibly come under this bill today.Which authors and dramatists would be deemed offensive. My list grows every day . The country deemed the forerunner of the American Constitution - The Arbroath Declaration by Robert the Bruce to become the forerunner of the end of freedom of speech in Western Civilisation- China and other countries who restrict freedom must be setting of fireworks
I hope that JK Rowlings and many others leave Scotland which is fast becoming a fascist "country".
As is the whole of the rest of the UK.
In the year two thousand AND twenty four?? Today?? Wow!
Scotland 1930's, note Labour and the Greens are in on this, think carefully on your vote, this stuff will be hard to roll back.
Flood the system with false complaints.
Kellie Jay going to Edinburgh on April 6th!!! What a trooper!!!! What a brave woman. But that's the way to beat this crazy law..Can they arrest everyone???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I understand the SNP want to ban dancing on Sundays, smiling in public and telling jokes, unless they are about the English 🙄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who voted for this law ?
Well , the voters got what they voted for .
Happy days !
Wake up people, don't vote conservative or labour or SDP.
Time for change.
Enough is enough.
C’mon Rishi, save Scotland NOW!
He can't even save himself. We need Reform (in both senses of the word) to have any chance of improvement all round. The existing legacy parties are all just carrying water for the same corporate globalists they are in thrall to. Different words but they are indistinguishable in practice as they are obliged towards the same objectives. None of which are good for us.
Where is Alister Jack when you need him? Back in 2021 [two years into his tenure as Secretary of State for Scotland] when this law was introduced I'm sure Alister Jack could have had Royal Assent denied under section 35 powers. I sometimes think that there are some bizarre laws that Westminster will allow because they either want to look at them themselves or they see them as issues that could destroy the SNP and in their blinkered way believe it could scuttle the case for independence. I'd just like to remind the Westminster bubble that the SNP do not own the independence campaign. The SNP should be our servants but they have lost our trust by being swayed by the Green's agenda.
If I was to be prosecuted for claiming that a transwoman's a man [for a' that], i.e. if I were to assert that a person born male with the usual XY chromosomes of a male would always be male do you think I could call as a witness in my defence the Government's Education Minister and my local authority education department? I was educated albeit only to GCE 'O' level in Biology and passed that exam. How would one calculate the value of the institutional harm that I have received and maybe caused? Could I make a claim for being mal/mis-educated? etc etc.
I'm nervous... Scottish militarily institutionalized...f**k me, I'll give myself a sentence... literally 😭😂😂😂
Freddy has become 90s Boris Johnson in his manner of speech
It's irritating isn't it😮
Kate Andrews is on! Great news! I hope she's at her most passive-aggressive so my eyes bleed a bit.
Surely from the 1st of April all Scots who don't agree with this law should just listen carefully to every utterance of any Scottish MP and then report them to the Police for whatever they take offence at.
Have you noticed that these crackdowns on free speech are all talking place in countries which call themselves Liberal Democracies and are being done by people who describe themselves as Liberals? What (if anything) does this say about Liberalism?
I hope they report JK Rowling. I bet she hopes they do too 😉🥂🍿
Pure comedy gold the facial expressions during Mason's opening blabber.
Just wait till doctors get caught up in this
It is a shame that, re the Hate Speech Laws, both guests and the presenter were all in agreement.
It's great to see people who disagree.
You wouldn’t like Scottish jails they are bursting with New Scot’s
Will Hamza be arrested for saying Scotland is too white?
