HUMZA Yousaf has insisted the Conservatives need to get"their own house in order" before criticising the Hate Crime Act due to come in at the start of next month.
"The Conservatives are the party of go home vans, the party of the hostile environment, the party of Windrush, the party whose leader Boris Johnson called Muslim women bank robbers, they are a party that indulges in Islamaphobic smears from Suella Braverman to Lee Anderson. The new law also provides for stiffer sentences for offenders convicted of crimes deemed to be"aggravated by prejudice" — in other words if they demonstrate malice or ill-will towards their victim based on the protected characteristics, with the addition of a category for race, colour, nationality or ethnicity.
The FM said:"Stirring up offence in relation to racial hatred has existed since 1986 with virtually zero controversy whatsoever, so I have absolute faith in Police Scotland's ability to police and enforce this act in a way that is appropriate.
