LUDICROUS

First Minister's response police bias complaint

- CHRIS MCCALL

HUMZA Yousaf has branded a Conservative MSP "ludicrous" after Police he accused Scotland of bias in a row over hate crime.

Murdo Fraser had a "noncrime hate incident" (NCHI) recorded against him after a complaint from a member of the public over a social media post.

Such incidents are recorded by police when they conclude the threshold for criminality is not met.

Fraser had likened identifying as non-binary to identifying "as a cat" in relation to Scottish Government equality policies last November.
