Although the majority of us were focusing on when we could eat in a restaurant with more than three others or set foot in an office once more, Val McDermid, Rowan Atkinson, and Elaine C Smith had one eye on the future. The hate crime legislation, in particular, is expected to go into place this year. They were not worried that the laws would impinge on free expression and artistic achievement, but they did not mince their words.

Artists protested the Bill, which was masterminded by Humza Yousaf when he was drafted. More than 20 people, including Rowan Atkinson and Val McDermid, had signed an open letter urging ministers to consider again.
