JK ROWLING IS WASTING POLICE TIME WITH HATE LAW 'PROVOCATONS', SUGGESTS SNP

A senior SNP politician has accused JK Rowling of wasting police time and attacking Scottish “societal values” by testing new hate crime laws.

Karen Adam, who is convener of Holyrood’s equalities committee, launched a thinly veiled attack on the Harry Potter author in a defence of Humza Yousaf’s controversial legislation, which she hailed as an “incredible example of our commitment to justice”.

On the first day that the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act came into force, Rowling deliberately “misgendered” a series of high-profile trans women, calling them men and challenging Police Scotland to arrest her.

The force declined to do so after receiving complaints, ruling that she had not committed a crime with her deliberately provocative social media posts on X, formerly Twitter. MORE AT JK Rowling is wasting police time with hate law ‘provocations’, suggests SNP (msn.com)
