GB News: Tory MSP files complaint after 'identify as a cat' tweet recorded as non-binary hate by police
Tory MSP Murdo Fraser has filed a police complaint after his social media post comparing non-binary identities to identifying as a cat was recorded as a non-crime hate incident. His lawyers argue this infringes on his freedom of expression and question why others, like Humza Yousaf and JK Rowling, were not similarly targeted.
Fraser's post, which was reported by a member of the public, was deemed not a crime by Police Scotland but logged as a hate incident without notifying him. He claims this policy has a chilling effect on free speech and has sought legal advice to challenge the police's actions.
