Hate Bill Propaganda: Now I have been in contact with several legal experts today in Ireland and across the water. This Hate Bill charade is not Worth the Paper it is written on. Our Constitution has enough legal provisions and needs no legislation added on. McEntee, who hopefully will lose her seat in the coming election, along with the gay Roderic O’Demon will not have the last say. Ireland will always have a Democracy. Ireland will always have its Freedom of Speech. Ireland will always have its Culture, its Gaelic Games and its people who are prepared to stand up when they know when Dark Shadows are trying to Suppress their Freedom. It will never happen. Now, as far as Transgender goes. Trying to make children keep secrets from their parents and asking them to draw Vaginas, Penises and Dildos in the Classroom is absolutely disgusting. We are the Laughing Stock of Europe. Sources say there is an element of a secret ring of Paedophiles who are orchestrating this Plan. We have no Clarity on this at present but what we do have is that Parents will always protect their children in Ireland and give them a moral and decent upbringing. I have no problem with homosexuals etc. What they do behind their bedroom door is their business and good luck to them but my problem is Majority always has the Democratic Right to live their own lives not to be ruled by any Minority. I say tonight to the People of Ireland in relation to Welfare Migrants, and Transgender – McEntee will never Rule and hopefully people will wake up and vote her out of the office she is unfit to hold. As for O’Gorman, Minister for our Children. You also will hopefully lose your seat. Many in FF are very uneasy at the vote last night but again this HATE BILL was introduced in Scotland and had to be shredded … as one legal eagle said please Define the Word HATE?

Lord Hope calls for repeal of Hate Crime Act

Lord Hope

Former lord president and Supreme Court justice Lord Hope of Craighead has called for Scotland’s new hate crime legislation to be withdrawn, describing it as the result of “gesture politics”.

The former judge said the legislation’s aims could have been achieved by simply amending Scotland’s public order legislation to include other characteristics, The Times reports.

“Hate crime is a most unfortunate name for the bill,” Lord Hope said. “It raises all sorts of thoughts in people’s minds, without any idea of what the bill is actually saying.”

Lord Hope added: “I have no complaint with the intention of the bill. But it has misfired because it uses a very provocative title that leads people to think there’s more in it than there really is, when you read through the detail.”

He explained: “It’s no good for the first minister to say, ‘Please be decent and don’t trouble the police with vexatious complaints’. People don’t behave like that.”

The crossbench peer also pointed to the burden on the police.

“I think it’s unworkable if the police are going to have to administer this, because they have the burden of sifting and recording a myriad of complaints by people who are not really aware of the details of the legislation,” he said.

He said the legislation was also unclear on what constituted stirring up hatred.

“It’s not just a matter of behaving in a manner [someone] might consider abusive,” he said. “It also has to be proved that the person intended to stir up hatred against a group of people, based on the characteristics mentioned, and that’s a pretty difficult thing to establish.”
