Come & get me.

Is it because she is wealthy enough to take them on ?
a video about it . Not sure the VPN advice is correct as a VPN is not 100% anonymous and the VPN companies admit it .

She more than likely has more money than the Scottish government--so you could be right enough money to take them on and still pop out for a pint or twoJK Rowling posted loads yesterday and she is not being investigated
JK Rowling won't be prosecuted after police look into complaints about social media post

Actually, that's a good point
If a Scottish person posts hurty words whilst he's on Holiday in Benidorm, is he going to be arrested as he steps off the plane on the way home?
The law doesn't apply in the country where the "crime" was committed.
It's like going to Amsterdam and getting baked off your bonce on skunk, as long as you don't bring any back then it's not against the law.

Presumably the law will only apply to future transgressions. If not I would guess nearly everyone in the Country would be guilty of offending at some point in the past!
Well, she can afford lawyers who would show the Hate Crime Bill up for the miserable, ill thought-out, unworkable pile of crap that it is, which would put the Scottish police in the embarrassing position of being obliged to enforce a law proven unenforceable.
Anyway, here's Jonathan Pie's take on it -

How to avoid prosecution in Jockland
Avoid upsetting someone, rather than use phrases similar but not limited to “he is not a woman” or “she is not a man” use the phrase “they are not XX they are XY” or vice versa.
Can’t be challenged it’s a simple statement of fact and will cover 99% of eventualities
Ta Da
Problem solved
Now to solve the Middle East crisis and Russia/Ukraine

With regards to people outside scotland .
If it is ‘published’ in Scotland, then it happened in Scotland. Just don’t write it down or be filmed calling that dude a dude!

Whether you like her or hate her, she has some valid points.
I bet she's frightened to death over this new hate crime law. There are very few as full of hate and venom as her.

If you watch the whole video she already admits that incarceration is beckoning her.

Madness, when calling names gers you arrested, but if your house is robbed or your car stolen you get a shrug of the shoulders and a crime number for the insurance.

The thing is, if ever your bones were to be dug up in the future by archaeologists they would only be able to determine whether you were a male or female, not what your state of mind was.
Well, I agree with Jonathan Pie's take on it. Hating minorities is wrong (unless we are talking paedos, rapists or murderers obviously). Hate speech is the reason why people were happy for the Jews to be murdered.
Saying that, this new law is stupid.

That's a bit of a sweeping statement isn't it? Apart from those directly involved in the eradication of Jews in the last war, I don't think the majority of ordinary hard working folk were influenced by so-called hate speech.
