Scotland is facing criticism for its newly enacted 'We hate you talking' hate crime law, described by critics as a threat to free speech and an entry into a new Dark Age for the country once celebrated for the Scottish Enlightenment. The law, criticized for being badly drafted and all-encompassing, is said to criminalize speech and opinion deemed 'hateful,' even in private settings. High-profile figures, including JK Rowling, referred to as a 'chief witch' in debates over transgender ideology, have been embroiled in controversy, with Rowling accused by Scottish police of holding views on biological sex that the law targets. Humza Yousaf, defending the law, claims it protects freedom of expression and speech. Meanwhile, the law's implications for cultural events like the Edinburgh Festival and its portrayal as an Orwellian dystopia towards censorship have sparked further debate. Critics argue the law positions Scotland as potentially the most censored country in the West, drawing parallels to historical authoritarian regimes and marking the end of the Scottish Enlightenment.

"All women should be grateful to Rowling for the way she has stood firm against gender ideology, and for exposing how far down the Orwellian rabbit hole Scotland has gone. When this crazed gender war ends, we will have Rowling to thank for shining a spotlight on one of the…
"Scotland the brave? More like Scotland, the Orwellian dystopia. This week, in between churning out some of the best-selling books on the planet, JK Rowling has exposed the country in which she lives as authoritarian, misogynistic, and downright bonkers." https://t.co/Xo8w4bUAT2
There is no behaviour too disgusting nor any claim too outrageous for LGBTQ+ activists to employ against JK Rowling. The trans lobby is now even lying about the Holocaust to defame her. Is there no barrel they won’t scrape? My latest in @spikedonline 👇 https://t.co/7f5gAy0uJ7
Humza Yousaf defends his horrific hate crime law. He claims it DOES protect freedom of expression and freedom of speech. The man is a lunatic. https://t.co/XYmBwCLjJ9

Gender ideologues are rewriting history. The idea that trans people were the central victims of the Holocaust is an offensive myth. Yes, crossdressers and transvestites suffered under the Nazis, but they were not targeted for elimination like Jews: https://t.co/Pkxr6RVzBL

No, JK Rowling is not a Holocaust denier. She is right to say there was no systematic extermination of transgender people under the Nazis. Gender ideologues are appropriating the horrors of the Holocaust for their own ends, says Malcolm Clark https://t.co/Pkxr6RVzBL

Wow. "The @LCPSOfficial Holocaust documentary, of which they are so proud, takes one of mankind's most horrific acts—the Holocaust—and shamefully spins it into a narrative that equates it with other movements, such as Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ rights, as well as a… https://t.co/uw2NzQpgVC https://t.co/aVjG1zHwOL

Scotland, crucible of the British Enlightenment in the 18th century, enters a new Dark Age in the 21st century with a badly drafted, all-encompassing law which will have a chilling effect on free speech. https://t.co/zGU3GscfbA
