A Dumber Nation
In politics, readers, evil and stupidity aren’t the same thing.
But nor are they exclusive.
Before we ask you to consider which of the terms applies to the Scottish Government led by John Swinney, we’d like you to read this letter sent to Wings by the auntie of two women imprisoned in Scottish jails.
“I have two nieces who have had to share prison space with men. I used to visit niece 1 in Saughton in Edinburgh and Greenock where men were housed, including Paris Green, Melissa Young and Alex Stewart. She got released in 2024 but then her sister (niece 2) was imprisoned and I would visit her in Polmont (Scotland closed Saughton for women and sent them all to Polmont in Falkirk (although Alex remains in Greenock). She was released last week. Both nieces gave testimony to FWS in their current court case against Scot Gov.
The first time I visited my niece in Saughton in Edinburgh I was wearing my WOMEN DON’T HAVE PENISES sweater. I had no idea she was sharing the estate with men. My sweater was something I would wear around town on a daily basis. As I was in the waiting area with other visitors, a guard told me I would need to take my sweater off if I wanted to visit my niece.
I asked him where is the lie in stating women don’t have penises. He told me, ‘that’s a matter of opinion’. I turned to the room and asked, ‘hands up, all the women here who have penises’. They all laughed, but I still had to take my top off in order to go visit my niece. That’s when I realised she was sharing the estate with men.
She told me of Melissa Young. He has had the operation, but my niece said his room was always ‘stinking’. Presumably because of the vinegar douche he needs to use, and because of the fact that the intestine is used to replicate a vagina.
She also said that he made the female inmates perform humiliation rituals in order to access his codeine tablets. He would make one woman, Mary, suck on his breasts, and my niece said he would show people his ‘vagina’ at every opportunity. He also battered a woman, and it was the woman who got sent to a different prison so that he wouldn’t be inconvenienced.
Paris Green would walk around with stretchy leggings on, showcasing his penis. Both he and Melissa have been guilty of assaulting prison guards (Google it). Paris Green also entered niece 2’s cell and started stroking her hips. This was ten years ago (my nieces have had a very violent and abusive upbringing and have been in the system since the ages of 15).
Both of my nieces are caught in a cycle of poverty, crime and addiction. When this happened, years ago, it was the case that trans prisoners had to sit at the door of their cell. They were not allowed to mingle freely because the prison recognised that they were a risk. But when the ‘screw’ wasn’t looking, Paris made her way into my niece’s room and started stroking her.
In Greenock, in order to take a shower, females have to go through Nyomi Fee who killed her child. Inmates are given jobs, and it’s Nyomi’s job to hand out towels. Nyomi is in love with Alex the trans man. My niece hates a ‘beast’ and so she would wipe herself down in her room rather than have to go through a man, Alex, in order to get a towel. Alex and Nyomi are inseperable. Nyomi was in charge of distributing towels for women to enter the communal shower area.
Niece 2 is a lesbian, and in Greenock it is communal showering. I imagine most women don’t want to see a man in their washing area, but for lesbians it is particularly relevant.
The prison guards do not allow lesbian relationships. My niece’s lover was also in jail and they separated the two of them by putting them in different jails, but with Alex and Nyomi the guards allow them to freely interact with each other. My niece said the guards would often hang out in their rooms, laughing it up with the both of them.
Laws changed and most of the women were put in Polmont. Alex stayed at Greenock. My niece said Paris was always on a ‘rule’ (locked in his room) because he was always flashing his cock to the guards and the women. She also said that he is a very tall man, and can look over the cubicle when women are showering. She also said that she had to sit in the waiting area with him when waiting for a doctor’s appointment, unsupervised.
Both nieces were battered and abused by their father, but niece 1 went on to have a relationship with an abusive man who would hit her and handcuff her naked to a radiator. In her own words he ‘kicked babies out of me’. She miscarried twice because of the severity of the beatings he gave her. And yet Scot Gov are putting her in an estate with men guilty of the most violent crimes.
Lastly, there is a woman who is living as a man in Polmont. She has had top surgery and takes testosterone and has a beard and looks like a man. When she was charged, she was sent to a man’s prison. But when she got there they discovered she is a biological female and so they returned her to a women’s prison.
Women’s prisons are a dumping ground for the gender confused. If men who think they are women are allowed to be in the female estate, why can’t women who think they are men be housed in the men’s estate?”
Readers will doubtless already have their own opinions about the merits or otherwise of the Scottish Government’s apparent desperation to ensure that men like those described above continue to be housed among vulnerable women. But we’d also like you consider something else.
Because even if you think that putting violent men in women’s prisons is a simply super idea, you must be aware that the majority of Scots do not.
And so even if you agreed with the policy, you would presumably still be able to understand that there was a less moronic way to try to achieve it than the one the Scottish Government is currently pursuing.
Because the government’s core argument in the case heard at the Court Of Session last week is that it HAS to continue to allow the Scottish Prison Service to flout the Supreme Court ruling in the For Women Scotland case, because if it doesn’t it might find itself sued by a hypothetical transwoman who murdered or raped someone and then found himself locked up in a men’s jail.
Such a man, the Scottish Government’s counsel argued last week, might kill himself in such circumstances, which a great many people might consider no great tragedy but which would apparently upset the government sorely.
The First Minister was therefore faced with a choice between two options:
OPTION 1
– continue to house male prisoners in the female estate if they say they’re women.
– spend a bucketload of public money fighting for that position in court against For Women Scotland, causing the vast majority of the Scottish electorate to think you’re a bunch of scumbags who have lost their minds.
OPTION 2
– obey the Supreme Court ruling and immediately ban all males from women’s prisons.
– wait and see if at some point in the future, a transwoman prisoner assigned to a male prison did indeed bring a court case about it. (If they don’t, problem solved and it didn’t cost you a penny!)
– fight that case in the court, arguing for the Supreme Court ruling, with the backing of the vast majority of the Scottish electorate.
And here’s the thing, readers – it makes no difference to the eventual outcome. Whichever side you fight, the court will make the decision.
If you choose Option 1, almost everyone thinks you’re sewage whether you win or lose. If you choose Option 2, you win either way – you get all the benefits of taking the position that voters want you to take, and if you lose and the court rules in favour of the murderers, you’ve got someone else to blame it on.
(And if that’s the outcome you secretly want, you can always choose an idiot for your KC and send him in to throw it.)
Try as we might, even assuming the worst of motivations, we can think of no sane or sensible reason for doing as the Scottish Government has done and choosing Option 1. It’s not only evil, it’s also political suicide. The level of staggeringly obvious stupidity it requires stretches the bounds of credibility even for an administration as packed full of utter boneheads as this one.
Option 1 guarantees wasting yet more taxpayers’ money, enraging voters and getting terrible headlines in the months immediately preceding a general election. Option 2 not only gets you a lot more support, but it almost certainly kicks the issue down the road beyond the election where it can’t do you nearly as much harm.
Literally the ONLY halfway-logical explanation we can think of for what they’ve done is if the First Minister wants to make absolutely sure he doesn’t win a majority in May. And the reasons he doesn’t are rather easier to discern.
Making sure Swinney doesn’t have to try to secure independence in the next five years is just the latest in a long list of reasons why the SNP are willing to throw women under the bus, and subject people like our reader’s nieces to the grotesque suffering they’ve been made to endure at the hands of the state.
We don’t know about you, folks, but it makes us sick to our stomachs. We honest-to-God wish we could believe that our leaders were merely morons.
This is the best evidence the SNO has veen captured.
Coming up to an election it is nuts to carry in with this nonsense
ONLY SOMONE DETERMINED TO LOSE WOULD FOLLOW THIS COURSE OF ACTION
The Scottish National Orchestra has been captured?
In a colonial environment it might be safer to conclude that every ‘national’ institution “has been captured”, including the dominant national party that is “co-opted by colonialism” (Fanon).
Which is why colonial ‘institutions’ are a determinant of (and hence barrier to) independence:

All very well, Alf, but what news for people who have already bought tickets for the upcoming SNO concerts in good faith?
Maybe made travel plans, booked meals and overnight stays in hotels, AirBnBs, etc?
Do they get refunds or what?

The thing is, the way they’re playing it, they’re absolutely opening themselves to legal action from the trans-identifying men who are refused permission to serve their sentences in the female estate. A risk assessment doesn’t mitigate a suicide risk, and all Adam Bryson or Andrew Miller has to do is say he’s suicidal in the male estate and he has a case. It could end up with every trans-identifying man having the right to be in a woman’s prison.
And that’s before you even start with the possibility that other male prisoners will maintain that they’re suicidal locked up with all these violent men and want a transfer.
Buggeration hell’s teeth!
I can’t imagine the torture those woman are being put through.
The fear of every day….EVERY DAY.
The Prison Governor on 60+ – 90+ a year. Just turning a blind eye.
The prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment is an absolute right under the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into domestic law.
Where are all the like minded legal eagles hovering all over this. Left up to woman in Scotland again.
Swinney is a vile human being.
Makes one so proud to be Scots. (said ironicallyfor the hard of understanding !)
Obscene.
Spot on analysis.
For those that do not know,
The Scottish prisons come under the Crown and have Crown immunity.
Debated in Hansard 2025.
Immunity from what James?
Immunity from what?
In 2014 we came close to ending the UK. The British state don’t want that to happen.
Since Sturgeon’s abandonment of land reform there has been a relentless drive from within the SNP leadership to destroy the independence movement. You think all of her bad policies were her idea? You think she’s intelligent because she keeps telling you she reads books? Remember when she was fangirling a Danish actress who played the role of a Prime Minister in a TV programme when, at any time, she could have been Prime Minister of Scotland?
Look at Yousef. He could have made a deal with Alba, but instead resigned. He wasn’t in charge of the party.
And now we have Swinney telling us that it is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for transvestite rapists and murderers to be locked up with women. I know he looks stupid, but come on…
The legs of Bruce’s spider are being pulled.
I think there is a reason they are doing this, but it’s not obvious yet. If we take the Epstein files as accurate, a goodly number of the gender clinic butchers and gender wang pushers were to be found hobnobbing with the rich and powerful, and many of them, themselves, are already rich and powerful and you can never have too much of those commodities, like you can never have too much sex of infinite variety, but always within the parameters of old, wrinkly men and young, nubile girls.
It is known that Epstein put money into some of these enterprises, so, from that, I think we can deduce that other big shots are doing the same. If they are doing the same, why? Because the next phase of AI is on the way, and the next after that..? We are now at the point where supposedly same people are pushing a puberty blockers trial on pre pubescent children and even very young children a la Mengele in the UK. For whom? Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?
If we also extrapolate that sex was the currency used to ensnare (often tongue-hangingly easily) weak and foolish men – and they are weak and foolish even when they are princes or CEOs of global companies or even intellectuals – and that there are very likely thousands of Epsteins across the world, and tens and hundreds of thousands of weak and foolish men, most of who would happily have sex with a llama if its name was Lolita, then I think it is safe to say that sex, money and power, the triplets of the lingua franca of highly-placed men everywhere, is at the root of this reluctance to let the ‘trans’ fraternity sink without trace after the UKSC ruling.
So, what does Scotland – and, indeed, the UK – have to gain? I don’t know if it’s true, but trickled through the grapevine that American AI/Tech companies are looking at Scotland/UK to host at least parts of the next phases of AI/robotics – the parts that the more discerning and more scrupulous might find stomach-churning. Have no idea how accurate that is, but it sort of makes sense when you think what the Scottish and Westminster governments are prepared to host and sell our souls for in other areas. Remember: sex (always first) money and power (no less part of the triumvirate) + weak and foolish men. If you can normalise it all… Just saying.
Oh, and no shortage of handmaidens either to act as procurers. SNP, Greens, Lib Dems, Labour full of them.
“If we take the Epstein files as accurate”
“If we also extrapolate”
“I think it is safe to say”
“I don’t know if it’s true”
“Have no idea how accurate that is”
Michty, Lorna, you make Professor Baird’s claims that we’re colonised because the moon is made of cheese seem quite logical!
Give yer arse a chance for fucks sake!
Thankfully robust postcolonial theory is built on historical evidence and actual events relating to numerous colonial adventures globally.
It is colonial domination that depends on a hoax by which the culturally assimilated group is completely taken in and assumes the values of the colonizer; such as the unlikely ‘Union of equals’ between a dominant imperial power and an annexed territory and subordinated people/culture handed a worthless violated ‘treaty’.
To believe in such a ‘Union’ is akin to believing that ‘the moon is made of cheese’, or for that matter that a biological man can be a woman. As we know, belief in such illusions is entirely possible.
@Alf
Found your passport yet?
I’m assuming the reason you won’t tell us what country’s passport you travel under is because you’ve lost the damned thing.
I mean, what other answer could there be?
We normally think that drugs and medical procedures are produced purely in response to human need but that is not so. Once a drug has been discovered/produced big pharma start to ‘create’ a market for it where there was hardly one before.
It happened with viagra- produced to improve blood flow to the extremities it was found to have ahem -other effects which were marketed and now it is offered to people who at a certain age would rather have a cup of tea but are now expected to be sexually active until they die.
Sex hormones are the same- the drugs companies have been seeking a return far beyond sales for HRT etc. hence the emergence of trans ideology.
US hospitals can now charge $100k for ‘gender re-assignment’ – a misnomer if ever there was.
It so surprise to me that the NHS is now awash with trans ideologies – they buy the drugs and provide the procedures and will soon be opened to US drugs and bio firms. Its gonna happen- even in Scotland.
You also have to ask what is driving Fife Health Boards squandering of £££ on the Sandie Peggie case.
Follow the money- Swinney is!!
Follow the money.
The next part in the pantomime is rough tough violent criminals who receive long sentence abuse this absurdity by stating that they are in fact trans and then they can run amok with heterosexual desires. The prison officers and government will be terrified to take any action against the ruling class trans people and impersonators.
What happens in the script if a long term inmate finds themselves very recently pregnant?
They won’t be saying that the woman with the Willie did it.
Mindless idiots in charge loading up the missiles for Farage to blow them apart.
