My answer to “Why do you want independence” was always “Because I want to know what it feels like to live in a real democracy”. I feel sick these days. All these years we’ve been trying to get out of the grip of an ever more antidemocratic UK, and now we’re as far from it as we ever were because “the master’s tools will never dismantle the masters house”.

“… survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to stand alone, unpopular and sometimes reviled, and how to make common cause with those others identified as outside the structures in order to define and seek a world in which we can all flourish. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master’s house as their only source of support.”
Audre Lorde

Long before TRAs, some transexuals and women made common cause, recognising how we were all of us injured by gender in different ways, recognising gender as one of the master’s tools.

There’s always people on every side of an argument happily wielding the master’s tools as weapons. How can it be otherwise when we’ve all have our heads steeped in this divide and rule crap from birth.

And TRA’s would probably use that quote against anyone who does not support self ID and the hate crime bill. They have an “argument” that a feminism that doesn’t centre men, that protects women’s/sex based rights, is inherently racist as well as transphobic. But the TRA’s include the people in power in the SG who have been persistently dishonest and anti democratic. TRA’s are not on the outside.

SG TRA’s created a law that will criminalise a marginalised group as transphobes solely for identifying themselves and discussing the objective evidence on biological sex, safeguarding and their legal rights.

SG TRA’s stay silent when people on their side make hundreds of rape and death threats against women communicating about safety and legal rights, and then there’s the sleekit wans with their faux concern, implying “she asked for it”

They are criminalising the “mistrust” of male bodied people in women’s spaces – criminalising the survival instincts of women, including the ptsd that’s as endemic as male violence against women.

They are using the law to impose forced speech, regressive sexual stereotypes and homophobia.

And it’s TRA’s who justify the use of the law to silence us on all of this by saying a feminism that doesn’t centre men is racism, that women discussing evidence on biological sex and safeguarding is just “white women tears”, malicious accusations of sexual assault to cause a lynching.

Not much in the way of common cause. They’re going to have to be building some more jails.

For those telling us to wheest, you’ll have a red line too, it’s just not been crossed yet. If you can’t imagine what it is, you’re just lucky.

A major clear out is required to allow the Party to return to reflecting an organisation that can be trusted by the Scottish people.

I wish you and like-minded party members well in bringing this about.

It looks like the SNP had to make an appeal to members for donations to pay for the 2019 snap HoC election. If they’re going to mount a campaign for HR 2021 they’ll have to do so again. This is an opportunity that’s too good to miss. Here’s what I propose:
1) retain your membership so as to be able to vote but reduce it to the absolute minimum
2) email your local MSP, MP and Councillors and tell them you are not going to donate to any appeal for funds or work for their election campaign until Sturgeon and Murrell are gone. Tell them exactly why you are taking this stance. I suggest you include some or all of the points Denise Findlay has a made above. Tell them you expect them to take a stand on these matters or you will actively campaign against them at every future election.
3) copy the email in 2) to all the other SNP MSPs, MPs, etc and to every member of the NEC and your local branch & Constituency Association officers.

If enough members do this the flood of emails will convince the fence-sitters that they’re facing a members revolt and their jobs are on the line. This might stiffen their spines enough that they’re prepared to take action. We can only hope.

You cannot survive this
Its better to face upto reality and surrender
Its going to end in your liquidation
So go gently and quickly for your own good

The Masada complex is alive and well inside you and your party
NS, do everyone a favour just go while the goings good

Dead right Willie, and its the only sure way our nation can be rid of Sturgeon and her entourage. If anyone reading this is still paying members subs, making donations, or assisting with fund raising then please wake up. They will take your money, your time and your shoe leather and treat you as clowns to be milked, just as they have done for the last 6 years.

We CAN do something to stop this. We can cut off the cash which is the lifeblood of this corrupt clique.

Interesting point on the liability of members in the event of insolvency. I had a quick look on line but could not find anything specific relating to members of political parties. However I did find the following under the heading:

Unincorporated Associations – Liability of Members, Officers and Trustees:

As a general rule a member’s liability is limited to the amount of the subscription because when he joins a club he does not intend to incur any liability beyond his subscriptions payable under the rules. However, if a member or officer is found liable for a debt his liability is usually unlimited.

Hope you can prove me wrong on this as I would have preferred that the remaining membership might have had sleepless nights over the issue. However, joint and several liability would certainly attach to any SNP members or officials who incurred debt on behalf of the party at a time when they should reasonably have known that the party was insolvent. The last financial statements produced by the SNP suggest they were technically insolvent if you took into account the ring fenced money they purloined.
