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
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.
« 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. »

“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.
