Contempt Of Government
This is actually pretty serious.
Because, y’know, you can call us old-fashioned purists or sticklers or whatever if you like, but government ministers probably shouldn’t openly lie in prepared statements to the High Court in order to pervert the course of justice.
And this is as clear a knowing, deliberate lie as you could hope to see.
We know it’s a lie not just because it’s blindingly, absurdly obvious common sense that nobody is going to object to an infant boy being taken into a changing room by his mother, but because the Equalities and Human Rights Commission SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED it in its draft interpretation of the Supreme Court judgment in For Women Scotland.
You can be sent to prison for contempt of court, which includes making knowingly false declarations. It ought to be treated as a matter of urgency for the Minister For Education to withdraw this lie, before her government becomes any more despised than it already is.
(Phillipson herself has an approval rating of -15 points, which is impressive considering that 71% of people haven’t heard of her at all.)
The dogged, obsessive determination of politicians everywhere to abase themselves at the feet of creepy men in dresses is now completely out of hand. It is deeply dangerous to democracy for governments to be this unpopular with years of their term still to run and to be seemingly hellbent on making it worse on a daily basis.
If it doesn’t change, something very bad is going to happen to the country.
I couldn’t agree more, as I do with most of your comment but with the notable exception of you support for the Scottish nationalist who’re rise to power has been little short of catastrophic for Scotland
It is the Westminster government that has taken all the catastrophic BIG decisions. Brexit, council house sales, austerity, privatisations, illegal wars, genocide etc.
For all the faults of the Scottish Government we still have a better Health Service, better and free education, lower crime and lower unemployment.
Go and read the wee blue book
The SNP, as much as I despise the current mob, did not bring in the GRA and has not as yet refused to implement the SC judgement, although they are dragging their feet.
So your comment makes no sense
How long ago was the Supreme court ruling?
So your comment, not only is it nonsense but very defensive.
Aw, c’mon Stu. She’s not deliberately lying. You know she just doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to critically read or understand the EHRC guidance. She is only the SNP’S Minister for Education so ‘m dubious she’s even bothered to try.
“She is only the SNP’S Minister for Education so ‘m dubious she’s even bothered to try.”
Bridget Philipson is the English Labour MP for Houghton and Sunderland South and the Secretary of State for Education in England and the UK Minister for Women and Equalities.
The appalling Jenny Gilruth is the SNP Education Cabinet Secretary!
« Norms are standards of evaluation, and as such they can be employed only by creatures who, endowed with a logical function, are capable of rational distinction.
« A norm exists only for creatures who are responsible for their own behaviour and who are accountable for conduct that transgresses norms. Our ability to give account in this way is possible only on the basis of the faculty of logical judgment.
« Surely, no one would hold a sick plant or animal responsible for the abnormal functioning of its organism. No one would blame it for its sickness. Yet, we do hold someone accountable for arguing illogically. »
(Herman Dooyeweerd)
Animals have “norms” through the functioning of instinct.
People have instincts too, far more so than we want to admit. We form opinions via standards of instinctive evaluation that are hard-wired in us.
Sometimes we attempt to rationalise these opinions afterwards and fool ourselves into thinking we arrived at them by logical deduction.
“Norms are standards of evaluation, and as such they can be employed only by creatures who, endowed with a logical function, are capable of rational distinction”
Utter mince. Any animal lacking the instinctive norms for evaluating, for example, whether to fight or flee, is swiftly removed from the gene pool.
I would agree with that, Hatey. Our instincts are honed through millennia to protect us. That is why it is so iniquitous to try and gaslight (sorry, Rev, I know you don’t like the word) into believing in this horse manure. It means that women and girls are not allowed to use their instincts for self-preservation. Cruel, duplicitous and shameful.
Big questions. Partly a terminology thing here.
Dooyeweerd loads the word “norm” with specific human meaning which presupposes personal accountability — moral norms of “ought” and “ought not”.
Maybe (I would suggest) we could consider higher norms as like the reins guiding the horse of instinct. We might fumble and drop those reins in emergency panic, but also positively simply in a playful context.
Civilisations however clearly do require higher level structural and consensual normativity – principles of law, etiquettes of speech, behaviour, etc.
Lacking any absolute norms above itself (other than a spurious conviction regarding its own historical “destiny”), the fascist State arbitrarily assumes to itself a monopoly over “normativity”, refusing international laws or arbitration.
Are “human rights” based on an arbitrary (therefore inherently provisional) consensus among beings who are themselves no more than an amalgam of random mutations in a purposeless universe? Is the only fixed law that there IS no fixed law (particularly in a multiverse)? Back to Heraclitus. All is flux. Postmodernism falls into this camp.
The X-Men movies show humanism wrestling with the vexed conundrum of “normativity” in a universe within which the only real norm is random mutation.
Richard Dawkins, who deplores postmodernism just about as much as he does Christianity, has written:
« The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. » (Dawkins, R., “God’s Utility Function”, Scientific American 273(5):62–67, November 1995).
We might consider also the following from Dawkins in an interview with Justin Brierley on Premier Christian Radio (8 Nov 2008):
« JB: When you make a value judgement don’t you immediately step yourself outside of this evolutionary process and say that the reason this is good is that it’s good. And you don’t have any way to stand on that statement.
RD: My value judgement itself could come from my evolutionary past.
JB: So therefore it’s just as random in a sense as any product of evolution.
RD: You could say that, it doesn’t in any case, nothing about it makes it more probable that there is anything supernatural.
JB: Ultimately, your belief that rape is wrong is as arbitrary as the fact that we’ve evolved five fingers rather than six.
RD: You could say that, yeah. »

“Creepy men in dresses”, sums it up perfectly.
It’s Ideological warfare on all fronts. The battle of Kursk is about to commence.
I’m bored on this thread, tae…
Do you think this place is bugged?
It’s all that’s left.
Lies.
Why are so many ready to die on this particular hill? Is it:
a) they fervently believe this is the most important issue
b) they’ll be torn apart by their (more virtuous) political rivals
c) they’ll be torn apart by activists
d) they’re being paid to tow this line
e) they’re mentally incompetent
f) they’re compromised by some dark deeds they’ve done
g) they’re looking to normalize their predilections
h) they’re currying favours from people who control their careers
i) all of the above
If this was about the menace to the east, they’d all have left for the recruiting offices in 404 by now.
Aw, c’mon Stu. She’s not deliberately lying. You know she just doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to critically read or understand the EHRC guidance. She is only the Minister for Education so I’m dubious she’s even bothered to try.
This goes way beyond institutional capture into the realms of outright corruption at the highest levels – on a par with the Saville scandal. Saville was a procurer of under-age children, both girls and boys, for men in powerful positions. He was also a perpetrator, of course. He was protected until he died and the truth could emerge – about him, but not about the PD O’files in high places who used his services.
The same must be going on here – that is, that men and, maybe, even women, are cross-dressing sexual deviants who occupy the highest offices, and the grunts at the bottom of the pile – the ones in frocks and lippy, do the dirty work for them by terrorising women out of their rights. I took my little grandson to the ladies’ and ladies’ changing room until he was about eight when he wanted to go into the gents’, but I stood outside nervously and told him to shout loudly on me if anyone touched him, and I would not have hesitated to deck anyone who did touch him. Yet again, we are being fed lies about the ‘trans’ movement and lobby.
Of course, there is big money behind this as well, which may even be the main motivation for all this obfuscation, and all those cost-savings for institutions, government and local government would have to be dropped, too. Also, cases are being brought for compensation. Yet, none of these stereotypical types of reasons explain fully why this is being allowed to happen and why so many high-profile people are part of the cover-up even where money is concerned. I have come to the belated conclusion that sexual feelz trumps even money, or, at least, it runs parallel with money as the main reasons.
Women and girls have always been exploited sexually, but, again, this goes way beyond the usual suspects in the way that women and girls are exploited by this movement and lobby. It is something that we really have not seen before, a kind of misogyny that is so intense and desperate that both men and women will stand up in parliament and lie; or shout out: “We did it for you, Beth!”; or a highly-regarded and very experienced employment judge will bring forward a judgement that is riddled with errors and ‘trans’ activist language and does not even follow the established law as precedent, or the ruling from a superior court, the UKSC. It would be unbelievable if we had not been witnessing it with our own eyes and ears.
The BritNat Brainwashing Channel still peddling bullshit about the rise and fall of the despised Baroness Mone…
“2015
Following the well-publicised rise of her Ultimo underwear firm, Mone is made an “entrepreneurship tsar” and Conservative peer by Prime Minister David Cameron.”
Bollocks! The following would be more accurate…
2015
Following her frequent public appearances for the “No” campaign during the 2014 referendum on Scottish Independence, Mone is rewarded for her work as a useful idiot for the British State by being made a Conservative peer by David Cameron.
There you go BBC, fixed it for you! You’re welcome…
“There you go BBC, fixed it for you! “
And very nicely done, too, robertkknight. Very nicely indeed.
Carrying a bit of a torch there, Bob.
Does Mrs knight know? Maybe she encourages you to have an “outside interest”, eh?
Bang on the money there Robert. Non the less it is interesting that she was picked out from the crowd and prosecuted. Not that I am complaining.
It would seem that the branch in Scotland, minister for education is going independent all by herself.
Paid for perversion with pension, does that surpass being just a pervert in rank?
Is this the same Minister that when she was Shadow Education secretary(?) made it known that in her opinion (as recent as 2024), ‘they/those’ who were still, ehm….’fully equipped’…should be allowed into ladies areas…
Lornical.
Perhaps you forgot to mention that when children or women are outside their natural, family and home or family enviroment by other or alternative means or methods to remove them from a family home for sexual gratification of others this is called human trafficking,
and this may include if biological men enter into public spaces for own personal gratification or fetishes, such as when in children’s homes, schools, womens safe houses, religious sites.
The rot of sexual perversion runs throughout most of the establishment from most trans ideology, to testing medication on young boys, leeching through to governments in England, and to branch government in Scotland.
It is a metal sickness that was inbred originally among the elite and those that married children to secure money and land,
If ever there was a combined menta and sexual disease that came from top down in to governments and court rooms it was this one.
It is the indulgence of these men in public spaces that is the real problem, James. I have to say that most women – all? – have not a scoobie about these fetiahes and/or paraphilias. Not saying no women have fetishes, but, like so much, even if they exist, they will probably not be dangerous.
People really need to listen to the ‘trans’ widows to understand how cruel this stuff can be for families. I remember when Michael Paling interviewed Jan Morris, of the BBC, who ‘transed’ in his middle years. Paraphiliac. Sweet, trusting Michael had not a clue, like most of us.
Read his daughter’s book and it was eye-opener. Heterosexual cross-dressing in later life, after having a family, is absolutely a paraphilia/fetish. Only children can have gender issues, and it usually passes as they grow. The men lie about knowing they were ‘trans’ at a young age. Gender dysphoria is a species of body dysmorphia and is a made-up term by the ‘trans’ lobby to garner sympathy.
Paraphilias and fetishes manifest at puberty in boys and these men marry in full knowledge that they are transvestites. Homosexual transvestites are a different category and, although they may despise women, ape women and denigrate them, they are not really a risk to them. Not that they should be in female spaces either.
Robertkknight,
Excellent correction and amendment. Come back to bite her in the bum that will 😉
“making knowingly false declarations.”
The Act of Union comes to mind, which although so often declared in being was never actually implemented; and the deceivers who have enabled the unlawful governance of Scotland by England ever since, and still do. Some even call themselves ‘unionists’.
Is it any wonder the laws they impose on us are oppressive mystifying nonsense? What should the colonized expect but such oppressive mystifying nonsense imposed on them by another people and culture?
Colonialism is a ‘hoax’ (Fanon) efter aw!
“Colonialism is a hoax”
Well it certainly had you fooled.
I think of the (checks pocket edition of Fanon) hundreds of millions dead at the hand of oppressive, alien colonialism and think – if only they’d seen through the hoax, they’d still be alive today.
But they weren’t as smart as some Scots BTL here, and so they’re all deid.
“oppressive mystifying nonsense”
Too right, Alf. Repeat that on every post going forwards. It can never be said often enough.
Se acerca la reforma aprende a nadar o te hundiras como Una piedra.
The whole point of the supreme court ruling is that IS male exclusive ????. Deliberately. To protect women’s spaces.
My gym had a sign up banning boys over 7 in the women’s changing room long before the SC ruling. Many pools and gyms have family changing rooms where parents can be with their children.
It’s typical of the gov dunderheids that they aren’t capable of envisioning simple solutions that don’t involve men in women’s spaces. They are so obsessed with indulging men’s fantasies.
My wife and daughters are completely relaxed about this trans bullshit. I’m not. Who’s wrong?
Announce you’re trans (stay intact, no desperate measures!) and live the life full time. Ladies bogs, getting naked in your daughter’s rooms, the works. Perhaps hint at lesbianism too so your wife remains “comfortable” with your relationship.
Stick it for a month and then report back on how your family now regard the issue.
Maybe they should take up competitive Fencing or Boxing or some other sport- then they will see that you are right.
Start stealing their knickers, Lee. If they say anything – they’ll probably blame each other first – step in and say that you have just ‘borrowed’ them and are wearing them under your clothes. Then, tell them that you would like to borrow some of their clothes because you feel like a young girl and that’s who you really are and you are only expressing your inner ‘girl’. I can guarantee a shocked silence before the eruption. They’ll get it then. Oh, but do put them right before they go out and tell all their friends!
TBQH is anyone surprised at Philipson she has previous for supporting the woke lunacy as does her whole party and the other main parties
The gender loonies will continue their fight until people realise that the be kind attitude is not working
I willing to be a well cooked sausage that Bridget Phillipson has banged on over the years while she been scrounging of the public purse as a MP about woman’s rights and when she’s in a position of power to do something about it she does nothing.
I was in Livingston shopping and everyone walking around with a miserable face, whats up, its Christmas i thought, now I know its about wings article.
Woman has the ultimate power turn of the birthing rights and let the human race die, would that really be so bad, with what we’ve seen over the last 5yrs.
I hear my fellow Scots and I agree entirely, but you may have missed a glimmer of hope and correct me if I’ve wrong, but I have to ask. In 2028 they’ll be a general election will you vote for the conservative and unionist party as this is the only party in the UK who have stated publicly that they will protect woman and woman’s rights and alter the equality act.
So maybe next year when you go out and vote in the Holyrood election its worth remembering that Independence isn’t on the table, but what is is your right to be a woman and your rights as a woman.
I see the destruction of the SNP as top priority and if it meant destroying the SNP and protecting woman’s rights, is voting TORY such a bad thing?
Your memory seems to be failing you again 100% yes , EVERY party in HR and WM including the tories have been involved in the promotion of this trans lunacy, when the tories were in power they were pushing it until the blue rinse brigade gave them a thick ear then they backed off , not completely as was seen in some of the tories voting for the GRR in HR alongside the pervs and deviants in ALL the other parties , why do you think the GRR bill was voted through in HR
2 Tories voted for the GRR bill, one of whom has since defected to the Lib Damps (he won’t be missed). 26 voted against. As far as I am aware they were the only party whose MSPs were given a free vote.
Read Twat H, 100% Yes.
There is only the tribe. Deny your fealty to the tribe and you deny your own identity.
Scotland is not, of course, the only country to be riven by tribal factions. It’s typical in third-world shitholes everywhere.
But tribalism is an accurate predictor of shitholeism.
Tribalism typically also identifies an artificial country. A geographical area containing a number of tribes really needs to be a number of smaller countries. Tribalist, artificial countries usually only hold together under the political pressure of an imperial master. It’s the old, “arbitrary lines drawn on the map” syndrome.
It is in that narrow sense that England influences Scotland. England holds the artificial country of Scotland together.
Shorne of England’s influence, an independent Scotland will naturally fission into its constituent tribal nations, as I have predicted many times on here.
It’s gonna be tough for the gurning, benefits junky, Central Belt tribe as the prosperous Scottish regions go their own way. Boo fucking hoo. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and our prosperous Scottish regions are owed for 15 years of SNP mismanagement, decline and lunacy.
Anarcho tyranny defined:
‘the combination of oppressive government power against the innocent and the law-abiding and, simultaneously, a grotesque paralysis of the ability or the will to use that power to carry out basic public duties such as protection or public safety’. Samuel Francis, Chronicles, 1994
I’m sick and bloody tired of saying it but once more for those not listening. Transexual prostitution is one of the main reasons so many in power, police, politicians, directors and others in positions of trust, celebrities and men in the public eye have either backed gender ideology or kept utterly silent about it. Names in black books, videos made surreptitiously and internet search histories ensure that those males who deny their homosexuality/bisexuality by liaising with transgender identifying males for cash will do their utmost to keep them onside and avoid public humiliation and career destroying evidence coming to light. It’s not rocket science.
An interesting hypothesis. Do you have any evidence to support it?
The “black books” idea is a bit of a red herring, and borderline racist too.
Astute investigators would naturally know to analyse all books of names and/or contact details, not just those with black covers.
A 2010 survey of sex workers in the UK found 28K identified as transwomen and last year the total number of transwomen in the UK was estimated as 48K. Seems pretty self evident to me that if considerably more than half of transwomen are sex workers that many will have man incredible amount of leverage with the right people.
Thanks for getting b
ack Ken.
your new information is very interesting but doesn’t come close as evidence for your original claim!
I’m sorry our host put up another thread so quickly. Perhaps we can resume this discussion on another occasion.
Thanks for getting back, Kevin. Sorry about mis-naming you in my first attempt. At least you are not, “mis-gendered”!
The root of the problem goes much deeper and further back, as often said by my self,
“The door in is the same door out”.
Scotland is not as ignorant of information as it used to be Centuries ago,
The prison bars have long since gone but remain in the mind, like an animal in a cage that has been taught punishment should it cross a boundary
It does not make a move even when the cage is left open, it has now succumbed to psychological conditioning until in-grained habitually.
Yes James, ‘colonialism is based on psychology’ (Cesaire) leaving a dangerous pathology and ‘disease of the mind’ whereby those afflicted ‘crave dependency’ and reject their own liberation.
Which explains why some Scots vote ‘No’.
It is important the people understand their ‘condition’ before it is too late:

I suppose the evidence is speaking for itself by the amount of men bringing in and twisting the law in its and their own favour,
The women doing the same are not excused wether they are related by marriage or blood or paid.
Perversion alway starts and thrives through the association with money
