We might be living in topsy-turvy world when Murdo Fraser has a point. Honestly, the whole idea of the police keeping "hate" notes on you when you haven't committed a crime is pretty dystopian.

I am as tolerant of hate as the supreme court is. The Article 10 right to expression necessitates tolerance of expressions that may be offensive, hurtful or shocking. Normal caveats withstanding such as shouting fire in a crowded theatre and making specific and credible threats of violence.
