Of course it's bad. The question is what's worse: that, or an overbearing government that's in the business of thought control, telling people what they are and aren't allowed to say and think in their own homes. I have my opinions on the matter, and it's clear that Scotland has other opinions: it neither has freedom of speech and of conscience, nor wants it, and neither, it seems, do you. And if you are upset at this "caricature" of the law and its intent, maybe you should tell Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, who proposed it, that he ought have shut up about its explicit intent. He has been abundantly clear that it must be enforced against all utterances in the home, not just a few extreme cases where some deranged madman happens to be inciting violence from his home. The Justice Secretary specifically identified that a child’s report to a teacher of what a parent said at home should be sufficient to prosecute.
