12:39 am
12:40 am
12:41 am
12:42 am
12:43 am
12:44 am
i'm sure. it's a lovely pub and because public order bill crime and public order bill scotland into effect scotland is coming into effect north border. and the north of the border. and the proposed well, proposed new law. well, the actual new law going to be actual new law is going to be making hatred making stirring up hatred against groups against certain groups a criminal offence, the criminal offence, even if the person making the remarks hadn't intended to do so or made them intended to do so or made them in private and critics are saying that bill could saying that the bill could lead to police to a slew of police investigations . but first investigations. but first minister yousaf says minister humza yousaf says people punished if they people will be punished if they will be punished if they make vexatious . so we're vexatious complaints. so we're going to discuss this new bill in a series interviews, and in a series of interviews, and we're start by we're going to start by discussing laws discussing how the new laws could freedom. could affect religious freedom. and reason, have and for that reason, i have here, mcclatchey millar, here, lois mcclatchey millar, welcome to the show, lois. >> welcome back to the show. >> welcome back to the show. >> obviously, you've been on the show a few times, and obviously we've talked about this before, but it's getting pressing but it's getting very pressing now hate crime law. now with the new hate crime law. we was coming. what we knew it was coming. but what do yousaf now do you make of humza yousaf now coming out and saying, look, people going make people are going to make complaints, will punish people are going to make complaithe will punish people are going to make complaithe complaints punish them if the complaints are vexatious.
12:45 am
them if the complaints are vexatiousfirstly, april >> well, firstly, happy april fool's from the scottish fool's day from the scottish government to us all and kind of reinforce the point about the clarity of the language. how will when will you now define when someone's with someone's being vexatious with their theme their complaints? the theme throughout hate speech laws has been that with a lack of clarity, the government get to decide what speech is legal and what speech isn't, and now which complaints are legal and which complaints are legal and which complaints aren't. confusingly. and with and that's the problem with these . we're not clear what these laws. we're not clear what we can say and what we can't have chilling effect free speech. >> well, aren't saying >> well, aren't they also saying that complain that anyone can complain anonymously? that anyone can complain anortheyusly? that anyone can complain anorthey even possibly will they even possibly investigate nature of the investigate the nature of the complaint? also, they're not referring to these people as complainants. calling complainants. they're calling them victims, which presupposes that there is something to investigate in the first place. all of this stuff just feels as though are borrowing from though they are borrowing from some totalitarian some kind of totalitarian playbook , right? playbook, right? >> hate can often be in >> well, hate can often be in the the beholder. and the eye of the beholder. and i think about this on think you wrote about this on your substack, andrew, that your own substack, andrew, that hate human hate is a condition of the human heart, what heart, and no matter what legislation yousaf or legislation humza yousaf or justin trudeau or any of these
12:46 am
guys through, they will guys puts through, they will never be able to stop never actually be able to stop the human heart emotion of hate. >> i mean, i'm not >> well, that's i mean, i'm not saying i support hate. i don't like but it's the like it, but it's a it's the reality. it's of the human reality. it's part of the human condition. know, great condition. you know, great playwrights condition. you know, great playwri about for written about this for centuries. though centuries. it's not as though you can just eradicate it with a few laws. >> indeed. and censorship has never effectively never been able to effectively control . no. control bad speech. no. throughout history we've seen this fail time and time again. but what this will do is instead of only targeting speech of only targeting the speech that somebody doesn't like, it's going to be whatever the going to be whatever speech the scottish deems scottish government deems on that be considered that day to be considered hateful. makes it very hateful. that makes it very difficult for anyone who has a belief that falls belief or a view that falls outside mainstream, falls outside the mainstream, falls outside the dominant religion, if of the day. you if you like, of the day. you know, it's interesting, and i think it was that last think it was 1697 that the last man 34 year olds have said
12:47 am
12:49 am
18 to 34 year olds have said they would ban a religious text, such as the bible, if it was found have hate it . found to have hate speech in it. and i think really shows and i think that really shows a religious know. right i think religious i know. right i think that shows a religious that really shows a religious illiteracy our generation, of illiteracy of our generation, of our institutions by saying, oh, whatever this faith is, i presume that it's hateful and therefore it should be banned and it hasn't engaged with the reality of those conversations because we're being censored, you know, fascinating and chilling you know, fascinating and chi|lois mcclatchey miller, >> lois mcclatchey miller, thank you for me you so much forjoining me so much. you so much forjoining me so mu thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> so next up on free
12:53 am
welcome back to free speech nafion welcome back to free speech nation with me . andrew doyle. nation with me. andrew doyle. we've just been talking about some of the reasons to be suspicious of the new hate crime laws, which will be introduced in but it'd in scotland this week. but it'd be wrong say that that the be wrong to say that that the bill also enjoy bill does not also enjoy widespread support with its proponents, making that widespread support with its pr0|laws|ts, making that widespread support with its pr0|laws give|aking that widespread support with its pr0|laws give certain that widespread support with its pr0|laws give certain groups that the laws give certain groups some much needed protection from abuse. some much needed protection from abuse . so let's talk now to the abuse. so let's talk now to the former councillor, austin former snp councillor, austin shendan. former snp councillor, austin sheridan . austin, thank you ever sheridan. austin, thank you ever so much forjoining on free so much forjoining me on free speech can i just speech nation. can i just begin by asking why it you by asking you, why is it you feel that this new hate crime law necessary ? law is necessary? >> i feel that it's necessary because of maybe some of the things that we've actually seen, not scotland, but not just here in scotland, but across entirety of the uk. across the entirety of the uk. say, for example, look at what's happening in the middle east and
12:54 am
we have both muslims, we have both people , for example, both jewish people, for example, who that they have who feel that they have been targeted , you know, through targeted, you know, through their religion. and mean, their religion. and i mean, at this moment in time, i feel like current legislation since 1986, we've legislation that we've had legislation that protects people against racism, as in people's race and everybody in the uk and benefits from that. and this would simply extend, that kind of legislation to cover things like religious, and background . and it could and background. and it could also cover things like people's sexuality. and so on, because, you know, no one has the right to be abusive. absolutely have the right to free speech. but we don't have the we don't have the right to free hatred and to and to discriminate against people. >> i ask about that, >> can i ask you about that, austin? you specifically austin? because you specifically mentioned to the legislation relating to the protected characteristics, which of in the of course are enshrined in the equality 2010. so just equality act 2010. so i'm just cunous equality act 2010. so i'm just curious what kind of crimes would be covered by this new law that aren't already covered by existing law ? existing law? >> so, for example, it could be,
12:55 am
you know, if there's someone outside an abortion centre who's holding up placards , which has holding up placards, which has been very distressing, you know, towards women . now there's towards women. now there's separate legislation going through the scottish parliament, for safe access zones. but some of the things that have been said on those placards have been deemed deeply offensive, have been towards been seen as hateful towards people, women that are people, towards women that are trying , at trying to access services, at the moment and the things that are written on those , on those are written on those, on those placards aren't covered, and this new legislation would then review what has been said , and review what has been said, and then there would be a decision on whether that would that that would constitute as a hate crime, circumstances would would constitute as a hate cri|protests circumstances would would constitute as a hate cri|protests , circumstances would would constitute as a hate cri|protests , for umstances would would constitute as a hate cri|protests , for example,; would be protests, for example, i attended one at the sandyford centre , in glasgow, which is centre, in glasgow, which is a sexual health centre, and it was to do with where trans rights and it was to do with people being able to access transition services and through sandyford and there was people there
12:56 am
holding up extremely offensive towards trans people. again and the current legislation doesn't cover those, however , can i cover those, however, can i explore that a little more? >> it's about making sure >> so it's about making sure that specific sorry, just that a specific also sorry, just to of to be clear, what sort of messages are you talking about? >> because we all to >> because we all need to understand it you mean understand what it is. you mean so signs at the so you saw some signs at the protest. give me an protest. can you give me an example something that was example of something that was said on a placard think said on a placard that you think would covered law? would be covered by this law? >> give an >> well, i'll give you an example that i example of something that i watched from one of your shows. i was watching darren grimes and he showed a video, of a protester of , of, of a protester protester of, of, of a protester and how he can put his supporters to march, which is a terrorist organisation, and actual fact. darren grimes called for these kind of protests to be banned based on that one view. i that one man's view. now, i don't believe protest don't believe that protest should be banned in the forum because in freedom because i believe in freedom of speech. for people that, speech. however for people that, you that are showing those you know, that are showing those kind things, know, kind of things, you know, regardless, you regardless, i agree with you then kind of then then this kind of legislation could cover. >> to be clear, >> i just want to be clear, though, because i agree you though, because i agree with you
12:57 am
that shouldn't be banned. >> but i wanted be absolutely >> but i wanted to be absolutely specific. saw specific. you said you saw a sign the sandyford clinic at sign at the sandyford clinic at a that that would a protest that would that would be covered
1:03 am
judiciary, the snp, to make a sensible declaration about where that line is drawn ? that line is drawn? >> yeah, well, the snp would never make that decision on its own because because they the judicial separate, judicial system is separate, you know, political know, from the political system. so that would be a matter for the police and for the courts. and i say in terms of and as i say in terms of guidance, i am aukus sources in scotland . and, you know, obe scotland. and, you know, obe trained in what the new and what the new law means. and what
1:04 am
could be deemed offensive in our faith and police service and faith and our police service and our prosecution service. our and our prosecution service. and are and for example, if there are examples and for example, if there are exeablezs and for example, if there are exeable to take that forward. be able to take that forward. and always and that should always be without interference, without political interference, because to because it is up to them to implement the law. and for those judgements passed, it's judgements to be passed, it's for not politicians to look at individual is broken individual cases. it is broken the law. and who hasn't broken the law. and who hasn't broken the law? >> i suppose concern is later >> i suppose my concern is later we're going to be talking to someone who was prosecuted in a scottish court for posting something that was something online that was grossly offensive. well, it wasn't grossly offensive to me because joke, but it because it was a joke, but it was grossly offensive to that particular does particular judge. does the subjectivity of the notion of offence not concern you at all when it's on the statute books? >> well, mean, so i mean , i've >> well, i mean, so i mean, i've spoken to people have concerns regarding things like that. for example, it might have been a joke yourself , for other joke to yourself, but for other people deemed people it may have been deemed offensive , so but just because offensive, so but just because something is happening between two people and a private conversation of other people that can impacted by it, then that can be impacted by it, then of you know, is of course, you know, that is something that the law would
1:05 am
have to take into consideration. and but there's other and so but there's other examples. i mean, even with current legislation, say, for example , if you were your example, if you were in your home as i do, i live in flats and you heard, you know, potential domestic abuse happen and i would want the police. and even that person had even if that person had been assaulted, and said, even if that person had been assijlted, and said, even if that person had been assi don't and said, even if that person had been assi don't want and said, even if that person had been assi don't want to and said, even if that person had been assi don't want to pressi said, oh, i don't want to press charges . well, the police would charges. well, the police would then say actual fact, you then say no, in actual fact, you have assaulted. is have been assaulted. there is a case of domestic abuse. i case of domestic abuse. and i have crime have reported that as a crime and even had nothing and even though i had nothing directly , ocean, for directly to do, ocean, for example, you know, if someone, you , has been hateful you know, has been hateful towards someone else and somebody else, you know, it feels impacted by it or feels it, that that person it, that that that that person has been unfairly and has been unfairly treated. and of people have of course, you know, people have the right to report that to the police, as i say, and for the police, as i say, and for the police to take that forward, once that once the police take that forward and the prosecution forward and once the prosecution service look at that, is then up to decide whether to them to decide whether that goes court or not. goes to court or not. >> well, austin sheridan, it's very people on very difficult to get people on this do take your very difficult to get people on this so do take your very difficult to get people on this so i do take your very difficult to get people on this so i really, do take your very difficult to get people on this so i really, genuinelye your view. so i really, genuinely appreciate coming talk
1:06 am
appreciate you coming on to talk about former snp about it. that's former snp councillor sheridan. councillor austin sheridan. thank much . very thank you very much. very quickly, a response from you, lois . lois. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, it's striking to me that when austin was pulling out examples, he was pulling out what he would deemed to be what he would have deemed to be offensive. for example, outside the outside the sandyford clinic outside an abortion that abortion facility. i reckon that if somebody had said no child has been born in the wrong has ever been born in the wrong body , but austin and may have body, but austin and i may have interpreted differently, body, but austin and i may have inteithat'si differently, body, but austin and i may have inteithat's the differently, body, but austin and i may have inteithat's the cruxferently, body, but austin and i may have inteithat's the crux ofently, body, but austin and i may have inteithat's the crux of this, body, but austin and i may have inteithat's the crux of this law. and that's the crux of this law. thatis and that's the crux of this law. that is the problem we need to have clear definitions if we're going speech, and going to ban any speech, and that achieved , and that cannot be achieved, and therefore we must have free speech everybody. okay. e but it's fascinating stuff. and next nation we're next on free speech nation we're going to be talking
1:10 am
next on free speech nation we're going ll, be talking next on free speech nation we're going ll, unbeknown next on free speech nation we're going ti, unbeknown to me, then activist, unbeknown to me, then reported that to the police, as a hate crime. now i knew nothing
1:11 am
about that at the time that the police recorded it as a non—crime hate incident. the only reason i found out about it was that the complainer then reported me to the ethical standards commissioner, who is the individual who oversees the conduct of parliamentarians
1:12 am
the individual who oversees the conduin of parliamentarians the individual who oversees the conduin a parliamentarians the individual who oversees the conduin a list. iamentarians the individual who oversees the conduin a list. isn'tntarians the individual who oversees the conduin a list. isn't thisans these in a list. isn't this going to get whole lot worse , going to get a whole lot worse, though, after tomorrow, after april when , these are april the 1st, when, these are going to be recorded with greater aggression. i mean,
1:13 am
haven't the police said they've pledged every pledged to investigate every single complaint? >> yes. this is the real concern about the new act that comes into play in midnight tonight, because police have said because the police have said they will investigate every single complaint that they receive. they are likely to be deluged complaints against deluged with complaints against people in public life already on social media. there are there are activists, who are who are making a call for complaints to be made to the police. you can see people who are prominent in pubuc see people who are prominent in public with gender critical public life with gender critical views, as jk rowling, for views, such as jk rowling, for example, hundreds example, generating hundreds or potentially thousands of complaints. the police have said that they will investigate every one, and if they're going to record every single one as a non—crime hate incident, that's going to not only take up a huge amount of police time, but if they're currently operating an unlawful policy that's going to mean they're going to fall foul of the law and be open to potential claims from a huge variety of people. >> you put variety of people. » you >> so apparently you were put on the vulnerable persons the interim vulnerable persons database, or at least the
1:14 am
complainant was on the basis of your tweet about the cat. apparently there's over 850,000 people on that database. there's 1 in 6 of the scottish population. humza yousaf is now saying that i make” " investigated if they make vexatious complaints. you've

vexatious complaints. so you've well, it is disturbing but >> well, it is disturbing, but bearin >> well, it is disturbing, but bear in mind my tweet dates back to november. this is before the new hate crime act comes into force . so it was being dealt force. so it was being dealt with under the pre—existing policy of police scotland, where everything that is reported to
1:17 am
them is recorded as a non—crime hate incident. if it doesn't meet the threshold of criminality and that decision is based entirely on the perception of the complainer. so if any complainer says i regard this as offensive and hateful, police scotland under current policy will record that as a hate incident . now what's interesting incident. now what's interesting about this is following the harry miller case in the court of appeal. i think two years ago, three years ago, the college of policing in england had to change their policy to comply with law they no comply with the law so they no longer record non—crime hate incidents in that way , for incidents in that way, for reasons best known to themselves, police scotland didn't take the same action.

1:43 am
it's going to be very exciting. don't weeksiwhere it's going to be very exciting. don't weeks to |ere it's going to be very exciting. don't weeks to provide the uk three weeks to provide the uk court with the assurances they seek. to discuss this seek. so here to discuss this hugely significant free speech case, i'm joined by julian assange's brother, the film producer gabriel shipton, gabriel, be by gabriel, you must be thrilled by this reprieve. at least a temporary reprieve at the moment. what do you make of some of the critics of julian assange, your brother, who assange, of your brother, who say, well, did put people's say, well, he did put people's lives and therefore he lives at risk and therefore he needs to face justice? >> well, we asked them for the proof where is the proof that he put lives at risk? i think, dunng put lives at risk? i think, during the leakers trial, chelsea manning, during the leakers trial, chelsea manning , there was a chelsea manning, there was a general who was hired by the obama administration to actually try and find anybody who was
1:44 am
harmed by these leaks. and they admitted under that they admitted under oath that they couldn't find any anybody who'd been harmed, or came to harm because of chelsea manning's leaks and because of what had been published similarly, during the extradition hearing, the prosecution had to admit exactly the same ” state
1:45 am
he went into the state department and eventually when juuan department and eventually when julian was taken from the ecuadorian embassy in 2019 and charged with this unprecedented ,
1:46 am
charged with this unprecedented, espionage act prosecution. i mean, what you're seeing here is the us, using its secrecy laws to reach into the united kingdom and grab people that they don't like. what what what's been published . i think it's really, published. i think it's really, really an attack on the sovereignty of the united kingdom, an attack on free speech and journalists in the united kingdom. >> i've been very surprised, actually, at the lack of coverage story generally coverage of this story generally in mainstream media. are you in the mainstream media. are you surprised that free speech campaigners rallying campaigners aren't rallying behind this, because you would have thought that even the us government would quite government would be quite grateful elements within grateful when elements within their intelligence services or military services are being exposed for doing things that are wrong, so that improvements can be made. >> well, that's how western democracies are supposed to work, but, you know, we see more and more these institutions trying to cover up their wrongdoing , their own crimes, wrongdoing, their own crimes, and that's become pretty
1:47 am
prevalent these days. but i think we have seen quite a bit of support from the uk press, you know, slowly , slowly, you know, slowly, slowly, they've been coming around to this idea that this could actually affect them. it could affect, you know, what they want to publish. if they want to pubush to publish. if they want to publish national security journalism , particularly with journalism, particularly with one of, their closest allies in the united states, we have seen in australia, we've seen the australian government
1:49 am
in australia, we've seen the australjust,)vernment in australia, we've seen the australjust, you1ment in australia, we've seen the australjust, you know, a they're just, you know, a political note from the from the us, political note from the from the us, doj to the political note from the from the us, doj to the uk. it's not actually , able to be enforced actually, able to be enforced once julian is on us soil, but it would be very interesting if, us, you know, first amendment free speech laws were actually able to be applied to everyone in the uk. i can't see the us making that sort of assurance. >> do you feel as a family member, this is your brother that we're talking about? do you feel relief that the feel a sense of relief that the british is seeking british government is seeking these , or the these assurances, or the judiciary, rather, is seeking these that at least these assurances that at least they go for death they can't go for the death penalty case? i mean, penalty in this case? i mean, this must be a relief for this this must be a relief for you family . you and your family. >> yeah, it's certainly is. but we have mixed feelings about this, this judgement. there are points that the uk judges refuse
1:50 am
to allow, in this appeal . and to allow, in this appeal. and those points we believed were very significant , those were very significant, those were regarding the plots. by the then pompeo cia plots to kidnap julian, from the ecuadorian embassy that is
1:56 am
scottish hate crime law that is coming in on april the april coming in on april the 1st april fools talk now to fools day. so let's talk now to someone who has actually been prosecuted for hate crime in the past. comedian and youtuber marcus meechan, who goes under
1:57 am
the name count dankula, was convicted of a hate crime after posting a video of a dog he taught to perform a nazi salute for a joke. there's the dog buddha , and we and marcus joins buddha, and we and marcus joins me now. marcus you were, found guilty in a court of law. you were fined £800. but it was a joke, wasn't it? >> yeah, it was 100% a joke like that. like that was that. like anyone that was watching the video would be able to tell that like that was clearly the intention. i even gave context at the start gave the context at the start of the video explaining why i did what i did. but you know that didn't really help me much in court. >> and can you tell us what happened? when did you first hear and when did hear about this, and when did the up? well, i was the police turn up? well, i was in iceland at the time when the video started blowing up, so i really figure
2:01 am
apparently a judges can't figure that part out. >> the snp is saying and >> but but the snp is saying and the police are saying they're >> but but the snp is saying and the going are saying they're >> but but the snp is saying and the going toe saying they're >> but but the snp is saying and the going to target|g they're >> but but the snp is saying and the going to target comedians , not going to target comedians, they're not going to target actors or anything actors or performers or anything like that. but do you do you trust they said trust that they also said they weren't go afterjokes weren't going to go afterjokes with the original legislation? >> you know, section one, two, seven of the communications act. they jokes are they says, oh, no, jokes are fine. back then fine. they said that back then that not the case. that obviously was not the case. no, i, i fully believe they're going go after any type going to go after any type of artist , any type of, you know, artist, any type of, you know, pubuc artist, any type of, you know, public play performance or anything. street performers like onune anything. street performers like online comedians, youtube channels, tweets and everything. i mean, you're already getting people activists online people leftist activists online lined up, counting down the day till they get to grass. everybody in like they'll they're excited about it. and they're excited about it. and they even have humza yousaf saying, oh, please don't use it
2:02 am
to make vexatious complaints. even though he's of even though he's guilty of making complaints making vexatious complaints himself . himself. >> yeah, it's tricky, isn't it, because you can because they're saying you can complain , so there's complain anonymously, so there's not to any not going to be any ramifications and ramifications there. and they're also pledging to investigate every single complaint, the idea that trusting that they're just trusting activists not to behave vexatiously does seem kind of bizarre , doesn't it? but do bizarre, doesn't it? but why do the scottish put up with the scottish people put up with it, there come it, you know, doesn't there come a point where the snp's excesses, they're authoritarian instincts, just makes the electorate turn away? >> it's because of the three things that, you know, scottish people are raised with. you know, say please and thank you, don't get into a stranger's car. the are evil and the tories are bad and evil and you oppose them in every, the tories are bad and evil and you mannerpose them in every, the tories are bad and evil and you manner that them in every, the tories are bad and evil and you manner that youn in every, the tories are bad and evil and you manner that you possiblyy, every manner that you possibly can. so even if you know the right proposes something right wing proposes something goodin right wing proposes something good in scotland, it's bad and we hate it and we don't like it. we hate things like freedom and stuff like that. apparently you know, despite, you know, i mean, braveheart would kind of make up most of the world think that we loved freedom, but not apparently not. fine apparently not. we were fine enough the english,
2:03 am
enough to take on the english, but where but hearty words is where we draw the line. >> saw that film where >> yeah, i saw that film where he freedom! didn't >> yeah, i saw that film where he down freedom! didn't >> yeah, i saw that film where he down with om! didn't >> yeah, i saw that film where he down with hate didn't >> yeah, i saw that film where he down with hate speech,t >> yeah, i saw that film where he down with hate speech, did shout down with hate speech, did he? you know, didn't quite work that way. okay, so are you confident that that after confident that that that after april things will go april the 1st, things will go on as do you think that as normal? do you think that there's any way that maybe this has just been overblown? people keep saying to me, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. do you think that's possible? that maybe right maybe things will be all right in end? in the end? >> no, the exact same thing >> no, no. the exact same thing happened to me. section one, two, seven. like when you first introduce a law, you make sure you apply it to like, the real bad guys. so they going bad guys. so they were going after white after like the full on white nationalists, ones nationalists, you know, the ones that the public that are palatable to the public where the average person on the street of course street would go, oh, of course that and then that guy got arrested. and then everyone to support the everyone starts to support the law. happen law. more convictions happen under precedents. under it, which sets precedents. and is nice under it, which sets precedents. and strong, is nice under it, which sets precedents. and strong, know, is nice under it, which sets precedents. and strong, know, within,a and strong, you know, within, you know, the scottish legislation, that's when they flick right, flick the switch and go right, let's going let's start going after the government dissidents now, okay. >> well, we'll see what happens, where can people find more of your material, on your problematic material, on youtube? under count dankula, i'm not recommending my twitter
