Children risk exposing their parents to hate crime charges by repeating private conversations about transgender rights in the playground, a frontline police representative has claimed.

The hate crime bill being debated in parliament, as drafted, would criminalise conversations over the dinner table if they were deemed to deliberately incite abuse of minorities, MSPs were told.

Calum Steele, general secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, which represents frontline officers, said that children could unwittingly inform on their parents if “insulting” remarks about transgender rights, immigration or refugees were repeated in the playground.

That is him all over and he wonders why he is so disliked all over the world.

He has two ways of going. He can accept the verdict of the people and leave with some dignity or he can totally destroy the little legacy he might have and go kicking and screaming like a spoiled child. Something tells me he will choose the latter and inspire some of his supporters to resort to violence.

He is indeed like a child. It's pathetic and the people of the United States should be ashamed of the depths to which they have sunk.

Because we know that in the UK that there is a degree of fraud over postal votes and voting without showing personal identity. And I suspect the UK's arrangements are positively gold plated compared to some of the Mid Western and Southern states

Why would you suspect that of those states?
 
All the (alleged) fraud took place in the states Biden won.

The states Trump won didn't have any fraud.

Go figure.

Plus, Hillary Clinton lost a few states by similar margins back in 2016 and there were no law suits.

Who has a history of resorting to law suits throughout their life?
