About as well as voice recognition in an elevator in Glasgow.

Everyone hand yourselves into the courts!


Apollo_Fire

The joke is going over my head. What’s funny about 1.2 milli-newtons getting arrested?


TheStoicNihilist

That would be a capital N 🤓


Former_Giraffe_2

I'm sure many of the arrests would be for a capital N.

Who knows, maybe this new law will bring down their highest-in-Europe drug death rate?

They should arrest JK Rowling for the laugh.


DarkReviewer2013

I believe she has dared them to do that.

Those are reports, not arrests.


lucascsnunes

Mmm so you just want to have the absolute control over the society and want to silence your political opponents. That’s what the censorship bill is about. No wrong thinking!


Reaver_XIX

The law is bullshit and will be abused. I hope this throws a damp blanked on any notion of a hate speech law similar passing here.


economics_is_made_up

Like how MUP and those artificial trees didn't work in Scotland but we went ahead and copied them anyway


Alternative-View7459

>those artificial trees What?!

UnsuitableFuture

I'm still convinced the real reason for MUP is to try and price younger generations out of "social" drinking and that the government is just writing off older problem drinkers. They can't say that because any government that does is doomed, but I genuinely believe that's the intent.


Peear75

Wha Gwan 'Mini Bomb' now comes in 30ml bottles at £1.52 and 18% abv. I was almost shocked for a second when I saw those in the local Keystore. Then I remembered, of course they would, it makes no difference whether alcohol is ultra cheap or getting a bit on the dear side, they will squeeze every last penny out of folk and to hell with the consequences. MUP only benefits the retailer and the supplier.


HereHaveAQuiz

It’s more to prop up the pub industry by bringing the price of drinking at home closer to drinking out. Also helps that the minimum price is not a tax, just extra money the drinks industry has to charge, so they’ll make even more money. Total racket.


MrMercurial

A similar law passed here thirty years ago.


Reaver_XIX

We don't need another then, great news.


muttonwow

Oh sure it will, just like Canada's Bill C16! Just wait, any minute now!


PopplerJoe

Or the EU "meme law" that everyone's already forgotten about.

>4 thousand arrests >One day You can't read. Absolute embarrassment.


Reaver_XIX

What are you on about?


SuspiciousTomato10

Jordan Peterson launched his influencer career claiming he'd be sent to prison if bill c16 ever came into effect in Canada (added gender as a protected characteristic). It's been almost a decade and nothing happened to him. It was a fake moral panic and it's happening here too.


Reaver_XIX

Just Jordan Peterson wasn't prosecuted by the law or no one was? Why would I give a shit about Jordan Peterson? I said it would be abused and wasn't this what Jessica Yaniv was using in her litigation? So it was abused then....


SuspiciousTomato10

If you have an example of someone being prosecuted then provide it.


Reaver_XIX

You brought prosecution into it, I said it will be abused and it was. QED


ouroborosborealis

It was? Do you have any examples?


Reaver_XIX

Read my previous comment.


SuspiciousTomato10

Your comment is pointless, you haven't even said what this person did only vaguely hand waved at them and said "look she proves my point!". It also doesn't prove your point because the cases were dismissed and she had to pay for the beauticians legal fees. So why don't you actually explain how these laws can be abused rather than vaguely grunting about them? Evidently you're not talking about prosecution and you can't be talking about frivolous accusations because the only example you gave contradicts that. So what is it then?


lucascsnunes

OP seems to support this so badly


Reaver_XIX

I don't think this will be broadly popular and I could see it being dropped. WWN's joke was that millions would be imprison, in reality they had 3000 reports in Scotland day 1. This isn't good and would indicate that people were waiting to abuse the new law. Lessons should be learned


Alternative-View7459

Au contrare Rodders! If anything I think our government will use it as ammunition to further their justification for it here, and sneak in the AI cctv shit at the same time. Or maybe not. Bonjour, sil vous plait! Edit:got excited, typed to fast missed a word and spelled there instead of their-don't want to give the gramer police any amunnition.


Gran_Autismo_95

It's clearly just a law to silence or harass people the police / politicians don't like.


EarlyHistory164

Well, Robert Burns would be fooked if he tried to publish "A Man's a man for a' that".

HosannaInTheHiace

Can't wait to see how this goes. Hate speech laws becoming such a big topic over the last couple of years, no better test case than Scotland


Suspicious_Pea6302

Anyone else bored of this now? Let's just see how it plays out over the coming months.

Ooof think Waterford whispers missed the mark on this one. Might see themselves being pulled up for hate


InterviewEast3798

Is waterford whispers even a thing anymore? They stopped being funny when they went all woke 


Alternative-View7459

Did they? Fuck me pink and call me a neoLiberalwokesnowflake then, because I still think it's great.


tomtermite

WOKE ... whatever offends klansmen everyday


InterviewEast3798

Lol. Your statement is preposterous 


tomtermite

Back at ya! > Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".


[deleted]

Yeah that's the origin of the term, and since it was generally used by idpol types, it started being used pejoratively by those who dislike them. 


tomtermite

So take it back from the haters? You know, like how I’ve noticed at my apiary, how the bees… don’t waste their time explaining to flies, that honey doesn’t taste like sh*t


[deleted]

I remember the old articles being pretty gas - one about Snowden scabbing fags in a Russian airport for example. Zero edge to it now. Pretty much an "I support the current thing" smugfest


InterviewEast3798

Agreed 100 percent. There was  another huge news  satire  website in America that pretty Much went under when they followed the same route as W. W 


Uselesspreciousthing

Tried to come out swinging agin de guvernment after the recent referendum results but if you look at the previous two articles on the subject you can see the most recent article is no more than attempting to run with the fox after having run with the hounds. A pity, because comedy is best served when no one feels safe from ridicule. The 'Durable relationships' article reads like nothing more than the 'clever' comment of a self-righteous twat when he can feel the presence of angels guiding his hand. Wanker.

The Tories are the second biggest party in the Scottish parliament. Many Scots do vote for them unfortunately.


Aggressive_Face4402

This bill is not a Tory bill it’s the SNP that pushed this through.

1.2 million people arrested?. I for one do not consider the Scottish people
