Holyrood Sources this episode with an expert about the Hate Crime Act was very informative! Please Do more of these chats with an expert (especially around the Budget). Love the podcast.

Great insight by Susan Deacon.

Law of unintended consequences: biggest excuse I have heard used repeatedly in Holyrood to not do something and also avoid responsibility when they were previously telt

Holyrood Sources Extremely good pod cast this week.

This is well worth a listen he explains very well. Shambles basically.

Given how much confusion there is out there, this from Michael Foran is extremely helpful. If you’re worried, or just interested, about what the Hate Crime Act does, please watch this.

This was very informative yesterday - very much encourage you to listen to the full pod!

Calm, measured analysis of the new Hate Crime legislation from lecturer in public law Michael Foran
I would recommend listening to everything he has to say about it to everyone on twitter and beyond.
'Absolutely false' to say that England has the same law is one point he makes.

'I've never seen the scale of disregard for central-belt policy-making that I see now [in rural areas]. You can't find people who think the Scottish Government is making policy in the interests of rural communities.'

Andy Maciver on the wood-burner ban.

Excellent and informative interview.

I think measured voices and analysis is really needed at the moment - Holyrood Sources delivers.
