Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to consider legislation to ensure that false allegations are considered as a hate crime and dealt with in law as such.
False allegations are lies and there is no such a thing as a small lie. A lie is a lie is a lie. It undermines the law of our land and harms all of society. Our legal system depends on truth. It is why we swear to tell the truth in a court of law.
- Do you think false allegations need to be considered a serious crime?
