"I'd Be Thrilled To Share A Prison Cell With JK Rowling" | Julia Hartley-Brewer x Rosie Duffield

Labour MP Rosie Duffield has been vocal about her concerns regarding the new hate crime law in Scotland, which came into force recently. Duffield expressed her worries about the potential impact of the legislation on freedom of speech and the confusion surrounding its implementation.

The law, supported by various political parties including the SNP, Labour, Greens, Lib Dems, and a few Tories, has raised concerns about the vague definitions of hate speech and the potential for individuals to unintentionally violate the law. Duffield highlighted the lack of clarity in the legislation, particularly in relation to women's rights and the fear of being accused of hate crimes for stating factual truths.

One of the key issues raised by Duffield and other critics of the law is the potential for individuals to be targeted for simply expressing their views or stating facts that may be deemed offensive by some. The legislation has sparked a debate about where to draw the line between protecting individuals from hate speech and preserving the right to freedom of expression.
