If even the Guardian won't get behind your Hate Crime Act, maybe it's worth having a wee think about it?

This act is law. It passed years ago. So all these English fowk sticking their oars in are about 4 years too late. Furthermore, the bill had cross party support. Labour, Greens and Lib Dems all voted for it. If it's such a bad law, then the Tories are the only sensible party in Scotland?

Weird isn't it. SNP getting raked over the coals about it in the papers, but where are the Labour and Green and LibDem MSPs who all voted for it?
