Humza Yousaf describes 'bad faith actors' criticizing hate crime law at FMQs with Douglas Ross

Humza Yousaf described "bad faith actors" standing against Scotland's hate crime laws as he was labelled the "only person in Scotland who seems to think the Hate Crime Act is working well" by Tory leader, Douglas Ross.
The SNP leader brought the legislation through Holyrood as Justice Secretary, but since it commenced on April 1, Police Scotland have been inundated with thousands of complaints. More than 9,000 were recorded in the country in the first two weeks, with less than 500 actually being investigated as crimes.

Yer I was getting fed up with the Westminster Tory hate for years what a relief ffs....

[@efinna4004]

This speech is just deflection of the real reason for this bill. We do not want this law in Scotland this is a blasphemy law through the back door. GET IT OUT OF SCOTLAND ALONG WITH THE SNP TRAITORS OF THE SCOTTISH PEOPLE. oh we have SNP members in Holyrood This is the only time we see them when they want to get something through. He’s lying about what he believes in Muslims do not tolerate gay people, they treat women as second class citizens, this is a law that accommodates Islam we in Scotland don’t want Humza Yusaf, we don’t want SNP, we don’t want anything Holyrood has to offer by time & time again we are let down and lied to. Time and again we watch as sexual predators are protected by this sleazy party covering up their crimes. Paying the perpetrators while on suspension for long periods of time paid by tax payers money, Air miles Angus flying all over the world on tax payers money acting as if Scotland is independent WE ARE NOT AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY WE VOTED NO IN THE REFERENDUM he should not be wasting our tax money just as embassies around the world is wasting our money that should be used to strengthen our infrastructure not going on jollies at our expense. The SNP ARE A LOATHSOME PARTY.

I was thoroughly disgusted and offended by the FM's 'white hate speech' but even though it was broadcast nationally and not just over a dinner table, It was deemed not to have been a breach of the hate law. It would have breached the threshold in England under their hate laws, so why not Scotland?
