Well, Easter IS a busy time of year what with all that chocolate and hot tick buns people have to eat.

Maybe it's the lack of new "woke" headlines in the Mail etc - they went to town on the "hot tick buns" and "gesture eggs" - and got laughed at 😎

You won't be laughing when your lot follow Sotlqbd with the 'hate crime' laws and you're the first one under the bus for saying something 'offensive' because you weren't able to see how 🦇💩 insane it all is.

 

Keep ignoring and laughing it off at your peril...

Except that it's not likely to happen like that; the "new" legislation seems to be getting wildly misrepresented.

Patrick Harvie defends 'wildly misrepresented' Hate Crime Act   National Scot, but plenty of other sources & authors

PATRICK Harvie has defended the Hate Crime Act, saying the legislation is being “wildly misrepresented” and dragged into a “culture war space”.
Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday Show, the Scottish Greens co-leader said “people on the right in particular use phrases like free speech as though it only means the freedom to be abusive and vile and unpleasant and prejudiced”.

He said the idea that police would target comedians and theatre actors “couldn’t be further from the truth”. 
Harvie, meanwhile, said "no individual people" are exempted from the legislation but Police Scotland had "said very clearly that the media reports that that comedians or others would be targeted are complete nonsense." 
He added: "The law is essentially most of it bringing up to the common standard, hate crime legislation that was much of it already in place, but in disparate places in different bits of legislation, it's consolidating that altogether, so it will be simpler. 
"And it's also ensuring that the stirring up hatred offences which have been part of the criminal law for decades now, in relation to stirring up racial hatred, for example, that that applies to every other group."

The new forum rules are putting a lot of regular posters off. IMO They seem rather excessive and a bit draconian. People don't like being told what to do to such an extent.

I think they need using wisely and could probably be more relaxed.
