Amount of money wasted by the Scottish Government fighting and losing court cases to try to remove women’s rights: £1.14 million.

Angry yet?

    Looks like they are wearing yellow and black rosettes these days.

    Add in the money wasted in persecuting Salmond, paying off the man dressed as a woman that they put in charge of r*pe crisis Scotland and the costs associated with NHS Fife trying to justify a male doctor using a women’s changing room and we could have afforded 100 members of staff in the crisis centre.

    Absolute Dicks Fannying around with tax payer’s hard earned taxes.
