JK Rowling has said she is "looking forward to being arrested" over the Scottish hate crime law that came into effect on Monday. The Harry Potter author, who has been an outspoken critic of some elements of the transgender rights movement, said the new law was "wide open to abuse by activists".
Speaking about the new legislation, Mr Yousaf added: "Let's remember of course that when it comes to stirring up offences of racial hatred, stirring up offences have existed since 1986, being policed with virtually no controversy whatsoever."Elon Musk and podcaster Joe Rogan, both based in the US, have criticised the new legislation.
