The Disgraces Of Scotland
Last night this happened.
The events marked simply and unquestionably the most shameful and contemptible moment in the history of the Scottish Parliament since 1707.
As well as somehow ceding the moral high ground to the Scottish Conservatives, the 64 SNP/Green/Lib Dem MSPs who voted down the amendment managed to cede the intellectual high ground to, of all people, Scottish Labour activist Ian Smart.
Meanwhile the SNP sniggered and gloated like children.
(Hunter, a former Glasgow SNP councillor and still the election agent and unofficial mouthpiece of Nicola Sturgeon, also spent the day amplifying the tweets of Beth Douglas, an aggressive, abusive male transactivist who recently posed with infamous Scottish Greens “nappy nonce” Eilidh Martin threatening to beat up women.)
The unamended bill hands known rapists a free pass into women’s spaces which can’t be challenged without risking arrest for hate crime. So we have no compunction about naming the following MSPs as disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling scum:
George Adam is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling misogynist scum.
Karen Adam is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling handmaiden scum.
Clare Adamson is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling handmaiden scum.

Elena Whitham is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling handmaiden scum.
Beatrice Wishart is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling handmaiden scum.
Humza Yousaf is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling misogynist scum.
There are no excuses. There is no valid answer to Ian Smart’s question. The defeating of this amendment WILL, without the slightest shadow of doubt, lead to otherwise-avoidable rapes. When they happen, every one of those rapes will be at the door of the 64 wretched, cowardly, careerist sewer-scrapings above.
The pictures above link to their individual pages on the Scottish Parliament website. If any of those despicable reptiles are your MSPs, please do write to them and let them know in the clearest of terms what you think of them. Try to be a bit more restrained than we have. It’s taken every ounce of our strength.
.
ROLL OF HONOUR
The following eight SNP MSPs retained a shred of decency and voted in favour of the amendment. They can hold their heads high amid their party’s eternal shame, as can every Labour MSP in the chamber on this issue – although they voted for the gender reform bill overall – and all but two of the Tories (Jamie Greene and Jackson Carlaw abstained, but made no difference).
(Michelle Thomson also tabled her own amendment which would have paused the GRC application of anyone charged with a sexual offence, but it tied 61-61 and was defeated by the Presiding Officer’s casting vote. Kate Forbes is on maternity leave but could have chosen to vote remotely, but did not.)
But make no mistake – this is by far the lowest moment in the SNP’s 88-year history. The party suffered a catastrophic and pathetic collective failure of courage. It would have taken just THREE more SNP rebels to pass the amendment. (It would also have succeeded if the four Lib Dem MSPs had voted with the other Unionist parties. We of course expected no better of the paedophile-adjacent, queer-fetishist Greens, whose leader proclaimed that the new law was “only the start” of his plans.)
Every one of the 54 SNP members who voted it down should be scorned and shunned and treated with nauseated revulsion and contempt everywhere they go for the rest of their lives. Not a single exception, nor a hope of forgiveness.
Last night the SNP literally voted for rapists and paedophiles. Those are the cold facts. Anyone still defending them at this point deserves the fate of their soul.
I am pleased and elated to announce I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR THE Scum Nonce Party or its deviant and perverted politicians AGAIN
BRING THEM DOWN
I contacted all my reps from all parties at the weekend and UNSURPRISINGLY I have received NO RESPONSES from any one of them , THEIR obvious contempt for voters THEIR EMPLOYERS has increased exponentially over the past few years , methinks they ALL need a good shake up
Watching that result I was shouting aloud every expletive I could think of and then some more,
The neighbours must have heard me.
Anybody who votes for SNP again in any election needs to hold their head in shame like those in this gallery of rogues.
#ShameOnYou to every MSP who voted against protecting the rights of women and girls in Scotland. 🙁
Out.
Get them all out.
Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment…
The people are sovereign. We have the Constitutional Right, (it’s known as the Claim of Right), to SACK this bogus “Government” and depose these troughing charlatans.
We HAVE the power. We HAVE the Constitution. STOP drinking the UK Koolaid which persuades you that Westminster can overrule the Claim of Right. Their King cannot, and neither can their Parliament.
In addition to Scotland’s well documented and exceptional sovereign Constitution, we have rights under International Law to self determination and self defence, and we can expel Westminster’s colonial encroachment into the Sovereign Realm of Scotland, which manifests itself as a puppet Vichy “Government” in Edinburgh which respects the false sovereign ascendancy of Westminster’s parliamentary rule over Scotland’s Claim of Right.
I DEMAND THE IMPEACHMENT of Nicola Sturgeon and immediate suspension of Holyrood pending a Scottish Constitutional Convention assembled to represent the sovereign interests of our Nation, of which a subservient Vichy style Holyrood itself is a direct violation.
Sack the fuckers. NOW!
Just like Ghislaine Maxwell, I’d bet those of you voting for this travesty of law and common sense have never considered you may well see the inside of a jail cell.
When the first of the crimes you’ve approved see the light of day you’ll be saying ‘I wish I had’nt done it’, all you’ll hear in reply is ‘you should have thought of that sooner’. There’ll be no sympathy, there is no excuse.
As for those still supporting the party of ‘disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling misogynistic/handmaiden scum’ you’re complicit, you’re as bad. Is that what you really want?
Any MSP who opposed they amendment to prevent sex offenders being granted a GRC should hang their heads in shame. They will try to deny their part in this but this article will and should be circulated on a regular basis.
How anyone could still vote SNP never mind be a Party member baffles me.
You’d think someone being disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling scum would mean they’d lose anonymity for falsely accusing a man of sexual assault for putting his hand on their knee once ten years ago (proved to be false by the driver and layout of the car). But then this worthless scum unionist SNP got rid of Alex for a reason, and this was to allow the party to become what it now has. There’s no chance this SNP is ever bringing independence. It’s time to cut our losses and take the gloves off. Every one of these fuckers needs to be gone.
This makes no sense. NONE. NOT one single good reason. NONE. So WHY??????
These SNP MSPs are ALL going to be looking for new careers very soon, because make NO mistake, as soon as this legislation is passed the britnat media will have a field day. They are just waiting quietly for it to be done. Then it will be all out full front page condemnation of this odious bunch of careerist tossers.
I know their were an honourable few in the SNP, as noted above, and they are to be commended, but sadly they will also be dragged down by this mire.
And for what?? This gender business is NOT a vote winner, it is not something the general public are screaming for. It is Nicola Sturgeon’s personal pet obsession, and these SNP mugs are just nodding it all on.
I wonder when these juryless rape trials come into effect, if the gender of the attacker will be taken into account or will the GRR legislation be tweaked at a later stage?
Robert Louis says: 21 December, 2022 at 7:36 am
And make no doubt about it, Labour and the Libs will have a field day with this once passed. They will use the bare faced cheek of saying they were wrong and highlight every abuse caused by the legislation. Of course this will be allowed because the MSM will play down these parties part in it.
O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
Here’s how Ivan McKee sees himself…

And wae some Pow’r the giftie gien us,
To see oursels as ithers see us!
“Ivan McKee is disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling misogynist scum.
It’s alright Ivan McKee, MSP, we got to know enough about you last night without the rolling commentary.
Don’t have many guilty pleasures eh? Just fucking over your country and the safety of our women eh?
We employees the bastards to represent us, we can sack the rape enabled misogynistic scumbags and handmaidens. High fucking time we did
They don’t represent us, or Scotland. Only themselves, fetishists and rapists. Fling them tae fuck next election.
TBQH Stu, Kate should be added to your hall of shame.
The supposedly good christian girl could have quite easily voted remotely, but chose not to.
I’m not sure sticking your head in the sand is representing good christian values and given that she now has a wee one, I would have thought it would have been imperative for her to vote to protect the future of her family.
Or does her protection of their future amount to $$ only and not morals.
Not only have these disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling handmaiden/misogynist scum done grievous , irreparable harm to every female in Scotland , they’ve dealt a lacerating blow to the cause of Independence that may prove lethal .
Not that there is any possibility of the Sturgeon/NSNP aberration bringing Independence about – that much must be clear by now , surely ? but the damage done by these people will taint any future incarnation of the SNP well into the future ; assuming the entire , rotten edifice doesn’t collapse under it’s own loss of structural/ moral integrity and rationality long before then . We can only hope it does
Imagine if you were one of the * Undecideds * – the very people we’re always being told we need to persuade over to our * side * ; does anyone really believe , such people , seeing what a total disaster this ScotGov are making – of everything , really , will think ” Oh this is great , all my doubts are resolved , I definitely support Independence now ” ?
I repeat …..there could not be a WORSE * Vehicle to Independence * than the current SNP . Even if it was handpicked by our unionist opponents .
Sorry Stu but I cannot agree with your description of Maggie Chapman.
You missed out ‘nonce-enabling dangerous lunatic who should be barred from ever being within 100ft of a child’.
After her recent video where she determinedly stated the Bill did not go far enough and thatb6 and 7 year olds should also be entitled to change gender. Her and the rest of the Greens have openly admitted the bill in their view, is just the start.
Never was a song lyric so frighteningly accurate…

Shame, disgust, anger. If ever Scotland needs decent folk to stick together, and overcome this dangerous, predator’s paradise legislation, it is now. Sturgeon is a goner.
Nae words
I just don’t have the words to express how angry I am about this. I love Scotland with all my heart but I can’t help but feel utterly ashamed at this dark chapter in our history. Why would any decent human being vote against this amendment?
We now not only have no legal barriers to stop sex offenders changing their gender, but now face the possibility of English and Welsh sex offenders moving up North to do so as well. What does everybody think about this then? Chilling thought
You didnae miss.
Journalism at its finest.
Well done.
As ‘Cath’ said – ‘Every one of those fuckers needs to be gone’.
Sturgeon’s Nonce Party.
It really is true.
Inching ever forward with their deviant nonce agenda. Remember them asking schoolkids about giving blowjobs etc… They just can’t help themselves.
It is not a question of ‘if’ a woman gets raped in prison as a direct result of these rape enablers but ‘when’ she gets raped.
Because it will happen without a shadow of a doubt as direct result of this woke depravity.
And then the creepy vile perverted SNP slimeballs above will attempt to cover it up. I guarantee you they will. Just as the school board in the USA recently tried to cover up the rape of a girl after they allowed ‘trans-girls’ to use the girls toilets.
Wings was onto the sheer evil masquerading as GRA policy right from the start. They called him obsessed blah blah blah but he was absolutely bang on the money. All of this is the tip of the spear for total depravity.
These people are twisted perverts. Everyone who supports independence needs to clean house and remove them from office. Nothing else matters at this point.
The SNP has rotted from the head down and now 8 years after the imposter and betrayer took over the whole damned party near enough is voting to put rapists in women’s prisons. Wow. They are completely gone…
Anyone who cannot by now see how Sturgeon has systematically and methodically salted the fields and poisoned the wells of the independence movement in every measurable dimension is forever blind.
Folk need to wake up to what so called woke policies are really a front for.
This threat is much bigger than just to Scotland but we can only fight what is in front of us. And fight we must. The devil is at the gate.
Not surprised at all
Its an all-or-nothing ideology
Exceptions cannot be tolerated or the whole house crumbles
I wish this amendment had been passed and they all should be ashamed of themselves. Gillian Martin MPS has tweeted the following
“My GRR amendments allowing Police Scotland to stop sex offenders gaining a GRC on the basis of RISK have just PASSED. They are competent, in line with EHRC, supported cross party, and will prevent harm.”
So maybe some hope? That said when would sex offenders not be a risk to women with self id?
Honestly how anyone could want to live in an independent rapist republic of Scotland is now beyond me, I find myself hoping westminister steps in and with the fact I am having that thought means I can’t bring myself to vote yes in any future ref that has the SNP at the heart of it, I will now vote against them at every opportunity
And when does the nonce party plan to lower the age of sexual consent? It cannot be far away.
I now firmly believe democracy is broken . To prioritise sexual offenders over vulnerable people is beyond anything I can understand . I am political but not party political but I enjoy the Rev . However I no longer believe there is any representation for the general public . It’s all career politicians and something I will select to distance myself from . To use my vote to further this type of representation would be nothing more than an endorsement.
It’s time to stop voting for more of this . Disengagement is the only tool in the box when you have this type of betrayal to the vulnerable .

The Taliban in Afghanistan ban women from Universities… Perhaps they were inspired when 7 Trans Talibaneers in Edinburgh University “banned” 250 people from watching a video on women’s rights…
Presumably, a GRC is only valid in Scotland?
Not for a UK passport, driving licence, etc.
Or for tax reasons (if there are any).
So a Scottish trans woman would not be permitted to work in a protected job in England/Wales etc or have the right to enter female spaces?
It’s a pretendy certificate for what has sadly become a pretendy nation.
The elephant in the room is that the lgbtq+ community have weedled their way into all key areas of public administration and politics. I work there, the policy departments are particularly affected. It’s impossible to get proper stats on how many lgbtq+ people there are but figures range from the official 2.5% (unlikely) to the claimed 10%.
Look at the number of MSPs who are lgbtq+ that voted for this abomination. Look at the number of SNP MPs. There are of course many lgbt people for whom this queer nonsense is anathema, and the LGB Alliance has been particularly commendable in its efforts. But to revert to the main point – our representative democracy is simply not representative and is hugely overly represented by a special interest group. It has been enabled by people trying to be as decent, kind and inclusive as possible. And it has bitten them on the arse.
There is a protest planned on 25th January between 12 noon and 2pm outside BUTE HOUSE to demand Sturgeon’s resignation. After this disgusting vote last night I hope the turnout is huge, she has to be forced out NOW.
Planes, trains, buses and boats to Scotland fully booked for foreseeable future.
Well, SHE is in favour of mass immigration, isn’t SHE?
Are we missing 2 ("Tractor" - Ed)s to women? Wasn’t it 64 against the amendment? I only see 62 photos. Unless I mis-counted. It is early for me. Just don’t want to leave anyone out from their moment of fame!
That ‘tractor’ in my comment should say ‘("Tractor" - Ed)’ obviously!
I understand the SG backed another proposed amendment by SNP MSP Gillian Martin that would mean anyone convicted of a sexual offence who wants to apply for a GRC will need to be fully risk assessed.
If the risk is thought to be too high, their application could be refused.
Presumably future wiser governments will be able to make this ‘risk assessment’ as rigourous as they want/feel necessary.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I am just pointing out this tiny ray of light in what was, otherwise, a dark night in Holyrood.

The solution to all of this is that there be zero sex changes.
Scrap the GRA 2004 and look for a better solution to gender dysphoria.
Make impersonating a woman a hate crime.
I am sure I saw my MSP Evelyn Tweed on the shame list, but not for this vote? The one who caused great offence to Intersex/DSD groups.
Why would anyone need a GRC it seems all men have to do is put on a dress and hey presto they are a woman.
I’m not getting the fuss about a GRC.
Can you explain?
It’s not often I disagree with Stu but I don’t think Jamie Greene and Jackson Carlaw should be in the ‘Roll of Honour’ section.
In my mind, abstaining on this issue as is equal to supporting it.
That Gillian Martin amendment is window dressing
You can’t have exceptions to a system that presumes anybody can have any gender identity they want
To deny one is to say its all bollocks
I have grown to truly hate the party I once loved when Alex Salmond was at the helm.
Funnily enough I was searching for a decoration this morning and came upon an ‘I’m with Nicola” poster from years ago – ripping it to shreds made me feel slightly better.
This mob is already interfering in schools , they make me sick to my stomach .
Stuart, why have you missed Maree Todd off this list? She voted against this and she is the sports minister who has overseen the destruction of women’s sports. She seems to enjoy all the freebies from the SRU;tickets, hospitality, player access etc. However under her watch the SRU became the only home nation to allow biological men to compete against women, despite concerns being raised of the risk of serious injury. Every other nation acknowledged this risk and banned them.
Thank feck I didn’t give the snp my constituency vote, Kate Forbes is a fekking coward hiding behind maternity leave. If Alba doesn’t stand, I’ll be spoiling every ballot for what’s left of my life #donvotedeviants
Sound from the above that Nicola has almost completed her assignment.
Not surprised to see my spineless and gutless piece of shit SNP MSP among the paedo promoters.
These people have just put your women folk and children in REAL danger.
A deeply shameful day for the Scottish Parliament, for the individuals who are voting this legislation through, and for the parties supporting it. Those of us in the independence movement have a responsibility and a choice.
We have to put clear water between those of us who are rational, who believe in science and who will not accept the diktats of the odious TRA extremists and their apologists. Anyone voting for any of these individuals, or any of the parties supporting the legislation are part of the problem, not part of the solution: that includes people like Joanna Cherry, Michelle Thomson and others.
Time for them to put their principles before their careers I’m afraid. It’s all very well for Joanna Cherry to say this is a matter of conscience for her, and to appear at and speak at today’s demo outside Holyrood, but action on her part would have a far greater impact. Stand down and provoke a bye election, join Alba or stand as an independent.
Not that it will do any good, but I will write to my MSPs and MP to tell them that none of them can expect my support unless they recant.
The general public aren’t going to wake up to this issue until and unless more high profile figures like Joanna Cherry make it a central issue. The lumpen SNP membership and voter base are a lost cause: we can’t convert them any more than we can convert the minority of dyed in the wool unionists who will never support independence.
We CAN however deprive them of a majority.
Prolly all a pantomime to cover their Christmas party (albeit with Satan’s claws rather than nice gifts, etc), but I ‘d say that even more disgraceful than all of that (which can perhaps be simply explained by the concept of women being mean to each other – or more cheekily ridiculed by the idea of letting stupid women bring stupid men to the party) is the failure of Holyrood, despite many of the MSPs being active on social media, to set aside all programmed debate and focus on the revelations on twitter (about media manipulation, including social)* since its acquisition by Elon Musk..
*tbf its not entirely clear how much aim has been taken at Scots (v how much has been left to our own devices such as the apparent cunning plan at WM to embrace the previous one of not having one) in this regard, as opposed to how much has been aimed at other sovereigns claiming an entitlement to simply organise and enjoy themselves but, to highlight a recent example, have yet to see much on any platform about how the streets appeared to be being cleared in Buenos Aries last night.
(Merry Christmas & Happier New Year despite all that)
If the SNP had left this debate until Scotland is independent and conentrated every fibre on the cause of independence, we might be a lot closer to our ultimate goal.
Karen Adam struggles to answer the question of why they voted against the motion to specifically exclude male sex offenders from getting a GRC
link to twitter.com
@Scotrenewables 9.35 am
I refer you to the estimable Roddy Dunlop’s tweet on the matter:
Ms Martin’s amendment is welcome, and I agree wholeheartedly with her last sentence. But this measure will not *prevent* harm: it will reduce the risk of harm. What level of risk, in this area, is an acceptable one?
link to twitter.com
All this about the Gillian martin amendment..
What are the actual criteria for REFUSING a GRC?
It’s never been spelled out that I can see. Therefore how can they back up a risk based(?) Refusal??
If they can fill out a form they become a women, unless… ?
Ridiculous. Personalities are not sex.
I request a correction to the list of eternal shame. MSP for Stirling, Evelyn Tweed, contemptible Woko Haram handmaiden has been omitted.
My MSP but I didn’t fucking vote for her.
Those SNP rapist/paedo promoters are quick to back this, but snub utterly our way out of the union via collapsing Holyrood, allowing perverts and rapists into women and children’s safe spaces is far more important to them than Scottish independence.
Scots must now back the Alba party at every turn, lets show these pervert promoters that they won’t be re-elected.
To be fair to Burns’ ‘Parcel o’ Rogues’ by their actions in 1707 they sold Scotland down the river into English hands, but, at least they were recompenced for their treachery in monetary terms.
That bunch of wankers who voted through the GRA nonsense last night will have nothing to show for their treachery except the eternal contempt of any right-thinking Scot.
They are as big a disgrace as their 18th century predecessors.
I keep coming back to the word ‘wicked’. Deeply, deeply, deeply wicked. And so obviously so.
I think it very unlikely I will ever be able to vote SNP again… not even for Alex.
And as for Joanna Cherry and Angus Macneil… fine words won’t cut it anymore.
It’s your party, in your name… given you haven’t managed to change it from within, there does come a point where you have to change buses.
Next election for me out in the sticks will be fun as it is likely I will have nobody to vote for as my MSP Jenni Minto has just excluded herself and can’t vote for a yoon and as for the creepy Greens I would sooner eat worms. Unless Alba or Isp gain traction and run in Argyll and Bute I am homeless on polling day. Westminster hardly knows we exist and Holyrood at times wishes we didn’t needing ferries and the like. From election agent for the SNP at polling stations to this in a few short years. I can only hope the collapse of the SNP is fast enough to let me see independence in the time I have left.
I remember years and years ago talking to a friend and trying to get him onside with the YES argument and at the time Salmonds SNP who were pushing onwards and upwards.
He was open to the idea but I remember him cautiously saying “Its fine to be strong SNP in Opposition, I will wait and watch what they do when actually granted power..could be a different animal”
Its a whole different Zoo now!
Well Stuart, that is a very good start to what I was advocating in the previous thread, but these people are very confident that they have the ewes and gimmers trotting happily behind them. When confronted either by letter or in person they openly laugh and ridicule.
We must find ways of widening our platform to rid ourselves of this pestilence. Independence must be put on the back burner and our weight and strength must be used to expose what is really happening in Scotland, as without wiping the slate clean, Independence will be a disgusting sham, politically and socially.
Androgyny has been used to destroy empires and nations for millennia.
It wouldn’t have mattered if this bill had been stopped, it simply would have been reworded and pumped through on repeat until it passed.
I often wonder how many of our ‘elected officials’ have woken up somewhere with a polaroid on their chest and a new master to serve, quite a few it would seem…
If you believe in science you must believe that human beings cannot change sex.
I don’t see the Alba party calling for the repeal of the GRA 2004
Alba party have nothing to offer me with regards to women’s rights.
They also have the problem of high profile member Craig Murray.
Petition to amend the Equality Act to make it clear protected characteristic of sex refers to biological sex now at just over 50k signatures. Needs 100k to be debated at Westminster. Start signing

Apparently:
“Anyone who does obtain a GRC will need to live as their acquired gender for the rest of their life – and could face prosecution if they do not”
So transitioning is to be made easy, but detransitioning is to be criminalised?
WTF…
There is no good about this.
However one thing it does do is distinguishe real women from fake ones.
My sister and mother don’t have a GRC, they patently don’t need one.
It’s only fake ones that will have it. It’s a literal asterisk.
In some ways the documents proves the lie rather than disproves it.
Doesn’t help women though
Your most important piece ever.
“It’s all very well for Joanna Cherry to say this is a matter of conscience for her, and to appear at and speak at today’s demo outside Holyrood, but action on her part would have a far greater impact. Stand down and provoke a bye election, join Alba or stand as an independent.”
They’ll do everything to prevent her being the SNP candidate in the next Westminster election so frankly she has nothing to lose by resigning the SNP whip now.
Does anyone recognise half of those names, who are these people. They don’t care about Scotland or Independence. Infiltrated? Cored out, gutted more like! The absolute end of a once great party. FFS Fuck off Sturgeon and take your fkn sex pests with you, Pervert!
Rapist loving bastards.
I work with sex offenders. It’s my job.
That is not something I generally mention or discuss anywhere, for what should be fairly obvious reasons, but I am making an exception here so that people know that this next statement comes from someone who knows what they are talking about:
The voting down of this entirely sensible amendment is utterly, and I cannot stress this enough, utterly reckless and dangerous. I honestly cannot believe what I am seeing this morning.
ANYONE who actually believes that sex offenders will not exploit this to gain access to vulnerable women and children, is an outright imbecile who knows NOTHING about them. I can only assume that these idiots have not made the slightest effort to understand the risk posed by these people.
The average sex offender, in my experience, is extremely manipulative and single minded. I know some who would throw you in front of a moving bus to get access to a child. They will use any and all devious means to get what they want, and the Scottish Government just gave them a wide open door and said; “on you go lads, enjoy”.
I’m just horrified. This is insanity.
The poor response to the petition above, indicates that the SNP retains a strong grip on Scottish politics and don’t think for a moment that they incapable of winning a referendum should the chance arise; but what we have to ask ourselves is can we live even in an independent Scotland. under this vile and tarnished political hierarchy.
“The people” is a beast of muddy brain that fights for its chains rather than be free”
Deeply saddened to see how Annabelle Ewing and Jackson Carlaw voted . This is a blow for sure .
My feelings exactly Stu. I’m only slightly mollified that my MSP voted for the amendment, but only slightly.

Sorry about repeat posts, but remember Sturgeon’s and the Greens paedophile enabling attempt to lower the age of sexual consent to 13 years will shame our country even more deeply.
Scotland will become a pariah State.
[…] added. For a more pungent account, see Stuart Campbell’s Wings Over Scotland blog post, also today. Each of the 64 SNP members who voted against the amendment has their mugshot included […]
Well, that’s that then. After nearly a lifetime of support, the straw has broken the camels back. Not one more penny and resigned the membership this morning. Letter to Gordon MacDonald registering my disgust.
My Wife, daughter in law and two granddaughters now exposed to this tyranny, what a bloody shambles.

…And as for Joanna Cherry and Angus Macneil… fine words won’t cut it anymore.
Good timing, and I agree.

We need more than just an address at a Rally Joanna. We need action. We need to halt a rogue in a runaway train.
Will you PLEASE Joanna lend your skills and experience in law to fortify the actions currently being formulated by SALVO and ALBA to create Constitutional mechanisms whereby Scotland’s Claim of Sovereign Right is respected; respected by both Westminster AND Holyrood?
While we can fight and rebel against Westminster’s colonial encroachment into the sovereign realm of Scotland, we can also most surely impeach Holyrood and our disgrace of a First Minister. That “ought” to give you a particular satisfaction.
We need action Joanna. ACTION. Words are getting us nowhere.
If you believe in Scotland’s Claim of Right, then defend it. Wield it. Weaponise it. Reassert the ascendancy of Scotland’s Claim of Right throughout the Realm of Scotland. We all of us know it will come down to this sooner or later, but for some of us, “sooner” is already upon us.
I challenge you Joanna Cherry to denounce the Westminster and Holyrood illicit usurpation of Sovereignty over Scotland’s Claim of Right. Stand with us Joanna, stand with SALVO, stand with the SSRG, stand with ALBA or beside ALBA, but stand with those who will defend Scotland’s Constitutional Rights and integrity, do NOT stand with the treacherous dogs attempting to destroy Scotland and our precious Independence.
We can defeat these usurpers, and we can sweep away their lunatic infractions and colonial encroachment. Join that fight Joanna.
What’s the point? It would take more than a letter to get through to these cultists.
An exorcist might be needed.
From now on anyone who posts the same comment multiple times is going straight on the ban list. I’m fucking BUSY, I have better things to do with my time than clean up the mess.
We now sit back and wait for the first casualties to come in.
Maybe the good hearted sex offenders will give it a rest until after the New Year,,,then it’s, GAME ON!!!
The buck stops with Sturgeon and all those who thought it was a good idea at the time, because it kept their boss happy.
I work with children and young people who are neuro-diverse.
The most dangerous part of the whole debacle is the ease with which ‘gender-confused’ kids will be permitted to become transgender without fully appreciating the long term consequences.
Gender confusion is rife in the population with autism and ADHD and is well-documented and properly researched. Social media is very powerful as an influence because youngsters with such difficulties find proportion and perspective very difficult to grasp. They are also prone to extremely rigid thinking.
The harm that people like Maggie Chapman will do to this vulnerable cohort is unimaginable.
I predict an increase in suicide as a result of GRCs especially amongst those who ‘transition’ at 16/17 and then regret what they have cemented as a long-term personal attribute into their lives. It is very hard to pull back from such a committment when you reach 20 or later.
The almost universal rejection of ‘medical’ involvement by that squalid bunch of parish councillors at Holyrood demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of such professionals and this includes the assessment of complexity in understanding and treating those with true gender dysphoria or those who are gender-confused.
So for all the understandable concerns that there may be about sex offenders etc, the greatest casualties may occur in young people who assert their right to change gender at an age when no definitive decisoons should ever be made.
Changing gender is not the same as getting a tatoo.
The minimum age for getting a tatto is 18 without parental consent.
So it has now become easier to transition that to paint your body.
Well done Maggie Chapman.

‘I understand the SG backed another proposed amendment by SNP MSP Gillian Martin that would mean anyone convicted of a sexual offence who wants to apply for a GRC will need to be fully risk assessed.
If the risk is thought to be too high, their application could be refused.’
Just wondering how they will know? Imagine – A rapist fills in a form to apply for a GRC. Fails to mention they have been convicted for sex crimes. Pretty sure Registrar doesn’t have facility to check police records for all applicants or get police to check each applicant. Too much work involved in that especially if applications increase exponentially.
“TBQH Stu, Kate should be added to your hall of shame.
The supposedly good christian girl could have quite easily voted remotely, but chose not to.”
I did make that point in the piece, but at least she didn’t actively vote it down.
Ironically, women will now be safer using the men’s public toilets as the only men they will encounter there are regular straight guys or regular gay guys as all the “pervs” are in the ladies loos peeing on the seats!
I’m angry that Jackson Carlaw abstained on several key votes especially this and the Michelle Thompson one. I wrote to him as a constituent and he gave a reasonable, and measured, response from which I felt it was clear he would always err on the side of safety for women. He lied. Given his fellow Tories were all clear on it I wonder why Jackson abstained…family pressure perhaps?
Cherry is no more worthy of trust than Mrs Murrell.
These people have only one overreaching agenda.
“It’s not often I disagree with Stu but I don’t think Jamie Greene and Jackson Carlaw should be in the ‘Roll of Honour’ section.”
They’re absolutely not included, they’re mentioned as EXCEPTIONS to the Tories who are.
Gillian Martin says,

So-called gender reform is obviously Sturgeon’s no.1 priority, way above any notion of wanting independence. When all the GRA crap has gone through I believe Sturgeon will walk – citing illness or family reasons – eventually into the arms of a cushy well-paid job with the UN or EU or similar. She will leave chaos in her wake but at least she will leave.
A troubling area of the GRA/ GRC is the issue of retrospectivity, an issue that seems to be a recurring wish-list item for the nuSNP under Sturgeon.
I wrote to my MSP Angus Robertson:
“Dear Angus,
I’m writing to you to express my outrage at your decision to vote against Russell Findlay’s amendment in last night’s Holyrood vote which would have prevented registered sex offenders from being able to self-ID under the proposed GRR Bill. You should be deeply ashamed of your vote and your party’s stance on this legislation.
As a constituent, I will never vote for any party supporting this legislation. As a former SNP member who left the party at least in part because of its stance on the issue of gender and your shameful, misogynistic approach to it as evidenced by your treatment of Joanna Cherry and others within the party, I can assure you that I will do everything in my power to ensure that you and your party are not re-elected.
As the estimable Roddy Dunlop tweeted last night: “At some point, there will be a reckoning. And the 62 will have to explain what in the name of all that is holy meant that they needed to give a near instant right to someone *standing trial for rape* to require universal legal recognition that they are a woman.”
You and all your colleagues who voted with you on this and on the rest of the Bill should hang your heads in shame. The electoral reckoning WILL come Angus, and hopefully soon. If only you and your party leadership had the political courage to precipitate immediate plebiscitary elections at Holyrood rather than tear the independence movement apart with such deeply misogynistic legislation which is opposed by the overwhelming majority of Scots voters.
Yours in disgust…”
I wonder if he will answer?
Milady I got a carlaw newsletter through the door recently and it seemed he was supportive of the GRC, from memory.
Todd and Tweed added. It was a very time-consuming piece written late at night, I was bound to miss a couple.
Effectively, independence has been mugged and «screwed» by the militant «homosexualists» tendency.
In their self righteousness they are little different from Taliban, Islamic State and, to give historic local color, John Knox and wrecking crew.
These people bring the concept of «rule of law» into disrepute for plainly certain laws have asses ears. They test tolerance, «live and let live» to the point of destruction.
By the way, the Earth is still an oblate spheroid, for the moment.
Not surprised to see my SNP MSP in the list of shame.
I figured out years ago he was a waste of votes. A charlatan. A joke. A gravy train colonial administrator
But he’s sunk to a new low to please the First Minister betrayer.
This is always what “both votes SNP” was for. Imagine this going through if there had been a fistful of ALBA or ISP MSPs?
It has been clear for a while now that our political parties, judiciary and media are corrupt (in all senses of the word). They need cleaned out and rebuilt, which is no quick job.
The thing is, if we address those local to us (in Scotland) we have a chance. The desperation for control that we so regularly see up here shows you that – Boris and his ilk never give a fuck what we think.
It is a long road, but we start now by supporting Common Weal, Alba, Salvo, etc. … and by gathering to protest!
I suppose it’s too late for opponents of this legislation to self-ID as MSPs today, walk into the chamber and vote against all this nonsense.
Yes, I know it’s a fantasy. It’s healthy to have one or two of those.
Last night the Parliamentary Christmas Carol service was cancelled to enable this debate, and the debate went on until the lights went out. Just about sums up where this government is taking our country. The cancellation of our Christian heritage, until the lights go out on the country, and we are left in darkness, not knowing who we are or where we are going. So sad.
“`My GRR amendments allowing Police Scotland to stop sex offenders gaining a GRC on the basis of RISK have just PASSED`”
Hasen’t Mrs Hurrell recently acquired Police Scotland? I think it’s part of her “portfolio”
Thank you for writing this important piece, for memorialising this betrayal. Can’t say any more than that, my contempt for these people is too great.
I agree with that. Not sure how the men will like it. I suppose it will be OK if we don’t stare & take photos.
Pee on the seats is the least of the worries.
Some women pee on the seats because they don’t want to sit on the seat.
Look out for pervs with cameras, flashers & masturbators who get off just listening to women pee.
Their sticky mess is a lot more disgusting than some pee.
Don’t dare challenge anyone who is in the ladies toilet even if you think they are a man and in the wrong toilet.
Yeah, I know I’m probably wasting my time but FWIW this is the letter I’m sending to my MSP who is on the list of shame above:
Dear ,
Yesterday the Scottish Parliament voted on amendments to the GRA bill currently passing through the body.
(I will not comment on the bill itself other than to note that it is terrible legislation, deeply unpopular with the electorate and legalises the fantasy that human beings can change sex.)
Russell Findlay MSP proposed an amendment to the bill that would prevent sex offenders from exploiting the obviously exploitable self ID process.
There is absolutely no justification in voting down this amendment – you should be utterly ashamed of your actions as you have directly enabled sex offending in Scotland.
I am struggling to express my abhorrence to this act in polite language.
I voted SNP since I was legally able to cast a vote. I was a fee paying member of the party from Sep 19th 2014 until June 2020. (There were other contributing reasons to my leaving the party but this pursuit of self ID insanity was a major one.)
I spoiled my ballot in the 2021 Holyrood election rather than give it to my SNP candidate. Rest assured that after the actions of the party yesterday I will NEVER vote for you again or give a penny of my money to it. There are many thousands like me.
As a life long supporter of Scottish independence it pains me deeply to make such statements but the SNP have become the biggest impediment Scotland has to regaining its status as an independent country.
I hope the expenses and pension were worth it.
Yours sincerely,
Struggling to control my disgust but three cheers for Stephanie Callaghan for resisting The Cult in my ex-branch and voting to protect women and girls. She trudged the streets with the rest of us to try to gain our independence but she’s now in the wrong party, in my opinion.
My thoughts on the likes of McKelvie et al are pretty much unprintable.
Probably your strongest piece yet, Rev. Let’s hope it brings some people to their senses before it’s too late.
All I can see is that the Tories are now the good guys?? Come on people, this is pure British State work behind the scenes. The British State is scuppering any chance that the SNP will win the next election.
There is NO way that I will vote for a Tory, Labour or LibDem Candidate. They are British Nationalists. WE will have to replace this SNP, or at least it’s leader and her cabal.
The man that actually did get us over the 50% YES in the IndyRef has been attacked and smeared. Great job by the British!
See through it all for what it is! There are NO Tories worth voting for even if you think that they’re coming to save woman, they are not!!
What Calum just said.
And I am sick of McNeil and Cherry pretending that they can change things. They give Sturgeon a semblance of reasonableness.
OK email off to Elena Witham stating my confusion as to why she voted against this particular amendment. She also now knows that if the bill is voted through today she has lost my vote and the party has lost my membership. 52 years I have voted for the SNP and cannot believe I could come to this decision. I am angry beyond belief at this suicidal lunacy in pursuing this course of action.
I’m literally crying here. There are three women in that first list whom I have campaigned for, vigorously, believing they were committed to the cause of independence and generally good eggs otherwise.
It’s like a nightmare you can’t wake up from. I wrote to Christine Grahame begging her to take the side of women and got a bland boilerplate reply that made it obvious that, despite signing that letter to the Herald a couple of years ago, she had decided to lick Sturgeon’s arse.
I feel literally sick.
We do what we did in 2015, we wipe them off the map of Scotland. In Holyrood and Westminster. I’ve always been torn wrt ‘who else do we vote for, certainly not red, blue or yellow tories’.
Now? I could give one flying fuck about independence. Until the SNP are wiped, until the end of eternity I’d rather stay in the UK than live in a country where the population is now de facto dismissed as transphobic and hateful because they don’t agree with a bunch of self serving fucking nut jobs who have taken over our parliament.
I will not vote for the SNP again. All toward Alba now, all spoilt ballots. Anyone who votes for this party going forward is now supporting this legislation against the explicit will of the Scottish people.
Fuck them all.
The end.
Mac says.
Folk need to wake up to what so called woke policies are really a front for.
(LOWERING THE AGE OF CONSENT)!!!
both votes snp…..what a mess
A GIFT TO ALBA , NEXT COUNCIL ELECTIONS AND HOLYROOD ELECTIONS
WILL TELL A TALE !
Slightly off topic, but connected: I think there is good cause to RAISE the age of consent, voting etc to 21. Scientific studies suggest the brain is still maturing until the early twenties.
HOT NEWS.
«THE SNP’s new Westminster leader Stephen Flynn has pledged to make Scotland’s voice heard in London, but said radical actions such as “walking out the chamber on a weekly basis” will not achieve the aims of the party.»
Bums on Westminster seats has done so much to achieve those aims?
Should we give up on independence based on this?
I reckon the Sturgeon cabal have actually slipped into showing us the true import of independence; you don’t like the way this is going – you have someone to complain to who is actually affected. You stay in the UK and Labour or Lib Dems impose this … what then?
As I said earlier, the Tories are the only ones talking sense here simply because “both votes SNP” stopped the others getting in. But at least we got that “no ifs, no buts” referendum, eh?
Don’t be fooled into thinking the Tories (and all the other English parties and media) care one jot about what we actually need up here. They have a completely different agenda (more heavily skewed to asset stripping) and they can and will continue to act with impunity, as we have no hold over them.
I have never actually met a ‘trans woman’ (is that the correct wording) in real life and I have not lived a sheltered existence.
I tend to leave ‘each to their own’ however, if I ever come across a trans woman, who even tries to give me, or my family, abuse or cause harm, they might regret it.
I shall leave it at that.
Thanks for amending the list to include Evelyn Tweed.
A necessary correction as Scotland’s only woman’s prison is in HER constituency.
The vulnerable female prisoners who will undoubtedly be raped and sexually abused as a result of Tweed’s dogmatic zealotry / unprincipled career self promotion (takes yer pick) should weigh forever on her nonexistent, sociopathic conscience.
Any reasonable law abiding citizen would not have hesitated in allowing this amendment.
That they haven’t, the only conclusion that can be drawn. Is that there are sinister forces at work in our parliament and society.
We need these enablers removed.
I came across this last night….

Im under 21 and can assure you my brain is very mature.
Experience of the less pleasants aspects of being alive helps significantly towards maturity.
People in the west live comparatively sheltered lives. Kids are over protected and screened from encountering the difficult.
A bit of «hurt» and stress, like bacteria and viruses, stoke systemic immunity.
Wow! That’s a lot of lost seats.
I find it puzzling that the health secretary would vote for any part of this bill as I assume many of the Muslim faith voted for him. It will deny Muslim women access to swimming pools , public loos and indeed any female only space for fear of some fella in a frock occupying that treasured space. Maybe their menfolk will turn out to be greater protectors than the MSPs and take action on their behalf.
Bye , bye SNP and Greens.
Got a reply within half an hour – almost as if he was expecting such letters and had a response prepared…
Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Shona Robison MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Housing and Local Government addressed this matter in the Chamber of the Scottish Parliament last night.
Ms Robison stated:
“As I set out to the committee at stage 2, before the bill is commenced, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Veterans will introduce regulations to amend the sex offender notification requirements so that people who are on the register are required to notify the police with details if they apply for legal gender recognition. That will mean that additional information will be available to help to identify an individual and inform their subsequent management under the multi-agency public protection arrangements, or MAPPA.
“That will allow action to be taken either in relation to the application itself, if necessary, or as part of the broader police role in managing the registered sex offender population. If the police believe that an application is fraudulent, they could apply, as a person with an interest, to a sheriff to revoke a GRC. Alternatively, the registrar general, if informed by Police Scotland, could reject such an application following a successful application to the sheriff, meaning that the applicant would be denied a GRC. That means that it will be possible to prevent someone who is on the sex offenders register from fraudulently obtaining a GRC.”
In response to Russell Findlay MSP, Ms Robison went on the clarify:
“I was just going to come on to the provisions in the bill having to be compatible with the ECHR. I cannot share the detailed legal advice that I have received, but I think that Russell Findlay would acknowledge that I was very clear with him and others when I thought that amendments were outwith the competence of the Parliament or in breach of the ECHR.
“The letter, which was sent to members at about 19:41 last night, was to put beyond doubt that those amendments would put the bill in jeopardy, because we all have a duty, as legislators making good law.”
I am sure you would agree that it is crucial that any legislation is competent and compatible with ECHR.
I hope this response reassures you that steps are being taken to address your concerns.
You can view the full exchange here: link to archive2021.parliament.scot
I understand labour will support the act and allow the SNP the glory
I wonder why they would do that
My priority for Scotland is to get these SNP scum bags gone. They deliver nothing on independence, impede it in fact, and the introduction of legislation like the GRC is just criminal.
Like the Named Person legislation ruled illegal by the Supreme Court, this legislation is going to come unstuck big time. And truly a scandal the damage that it will do to our society.
Not difficult to see now how the people’s party are clearing the parliamentary public benches threatening arrest, and how they have set up anti people exclusion zones round the parliament.
But you know what. These scum live in our community. They don’t live, or at least not yet, behind armoured fortresses. Nor do they, like detested politicians in other states have the right to carry handguns. Of course Sturgeon’s close protection squad do.
Hopefully these bastards that are putting woman at risk, turning our society upside down will be voted out. But they are playing an offensive game and they arrogantly spit in the face of orthodox public opinion at their peril.
Now I understand why Nicola Sturgeon keeps shouting “No more Tories!”
[Silly me, I thought it was because she was a unionist plant when she did it very intensely on the eve of indyref1, when every vote counted.]
Rev stu,
Scotland has not had a Scottish parliament since 1707,
We have a Westminster legislated devolved parliament from london.

Men, as a class, pose a danger to women, as a class. That is an unequivocal fact. And male offending patterns are not altered by ‘gender identity’.
Whenever women protest the inclusion of trans-identified males in our spaces, we’re shouted down and dismissed as transphobes and hysterics. There is no risk, we’re in no danger, this never happens, we’re constantly told. When we produce evidence to the contrary, we’re accused of bigotry and of demonising trans people. We cannot win.

The point is that men can pose a threat to women and children however they ‘identify’ and women have every reason to fear male violence. Since it’s impossible to tell which males are harmless and which are not, basic safeguarding means we exclude all males from women’s spaces. Even the ones who claim to ‘identify as women’. The list below demonstrates that we are right to do so.
It is far from an exhaustive list – these are just some examples of which I’m aware – but there are a lot of names on it. Look how easily violent, dangerous males can claim a trans identity and be believed, accommodated and enabled. I’d like to ask all those shouting at us to be ‘inclusive’, how many victims do you deem acceptable collateral damage for prioritising male feelings over women’s safety?
With each case described in more detail below, here are 122 examples of trans-identified males who have raped, assaulted, abused and/or murdered women and/or children. The thing that never happens…

Karen White (UK)
(Formerly known as Stephen Wood and David Thompson)
White is a double rapist with previous convictions for indecent assault and gross indecency with a child. When on remand he was housed in a women’s prison where he sexually assaulted the female inmates.
Xena Grandichelli (USA)
(Formerly know as Jeffrey Willsea)
Xena Grandichelli pleaded guilty to first-degree sexual abuse and aggravated second-degree sexual abuse (eleven counts in total) of a 3-year-old girl. He was sentenced to 59 years and began identifying as trans while incarcerated.
On his release he became a much-platformed and lauded trans activist and he volunteered for AVP, the ‘largest anti-LGBTQ violence organization in the country’.
Rebecca Louise Ormrod (UK)
(Formerly known as Robert Ormrod)
Robert Ormrod subjected a young girl to seven years of abuse when she was aged between eight and fourteen. He was convicted of six counts of rape, sexual assault and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Ormrod now ‘identifies as a woman’ and calls himself Rebecca Louise.
Kristen Lukess (UK)
(Formerly known as Mark Turton)
Mark Turton was convicted of two counts of raping an underage child. While incarcerated he began ‘identifying as female’ and changed his name to Kristen Lukess. On release from prison, he concealed his crimes to live with a woman and her 11-year-old child.
Lisa Hauxwell (UK)
(Formerly known as Craig Hauxwell)
Lisa Hauxwell was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment for two rapes and seven indecent assaults which were described by police as ‘horrendous’.
Katie Dolatowski (UK)
In February 2018 Katie Dolatowski filmed a 12-year-old-girl who was using the toilet in a female bathroom at a supermarket in Dunfermline. A month later, he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in the women’s toilets at a supermarket in Kirkcaldy. He grabbed the terrified child by the face, forced her into a cubicle and ordered her to take off her clothes, threatening to stab her if she did not comply.
He pleaded guilty to voyeurism and sexual assault charges and was given a three-year community payback order, placed on the sex offenders register and banned from having any contact with children. In 2019, Dolatowski was back in court twice accused of deleting the internet history on his phone and then of making ‘alarming’ internet searches.
In 2022 it was revealed that Dolatowski had been accommodated in a domestic violence refuge for vulnerable women and children after he tricked the centre’s staff by using a false name and pretending to be an abuse victim to gain access.
Perhaps because it’s the policy of the Labour Party.
Any future Labour Government will bring in this legislation.
What can we do?
In the event of Scotland ever being Independent would you vote for or against a Gender Recognition Act which would allowed people to change sex? Yes/No?
At the recent Alba conference a question was asked concerning civil disobedience. I think it was along the lines of, is it appropriate? if so when and what form should it take?
Kenny MacAskill answered and as far as I remember replied that yes, it was a viable option but the problem was it must be around a single important issue and that that single issue must unite a majority of people in order for it to be effective. He mentioned the poll tax as an example.
Well Kenny, if you’re reading this here’s the single issue that does unite a great majority of Scots.
Alba, ISP and any other parties, organisations and unions should in my opinion be jumping on this right now. Get your high heid yins, members and supporters together to come up with a plan that will unite all sane Scots and rid this country of the poisonous blight that aflicts it, the SNP and the UK government.
My immediate thoughts for the form of disobedience this should take (I have’nt considered it in any detail re the GRR Bill) would be refusal of jury service. Why this? Because I seriously considered it when I was called to jury service about six months ago. My reasons at that time will be obvious to anyone aware of the political and malicious prosecutions that are now part of Scottish life. As it happened I did’nt have to make a choice because I was’nt selected.
That’s one idea, I’m sure there’ll be others, better and far effective.
Here’s an interesting quote from link to noblesolicitors.co.uk
“Contrary to what many people believe, there is no centrally held register of sex offenders in England and Wales.”
From this, link to gov.uk, it seems that monitoring offenders is a devolved process.
So the devil would appear to be in the details. I’m sure the guardians of the law in Holyrood will have thoroughly researched this.
Sturgeon has sold her soul to the devil.
The rest of the spineless creeps think they’re saving their careers.
I agree about Kate whatshername, is also shameful.
She could have pressed a button from her home and chose not to.
All of them need booted put.
I like the CoR idea impeach the bastards
UK Column has just highlighted what happened last night. (From approx 12 mins onwards – the whole episode will be viewable later this afternoon.) Mhairi Hunter even gets a mention.
If there’s an upside to all of this it may be that Scots are much more aware of what’s going on than other Brits. (Kind of like the Poll Tax I suppose.)

What would happen if someone with a GRC did commit a sexual offence would they have their GRC withdrawn?
What would happen if that person had been diagnosed with ‘gender dysphoria’ and hadn’t gained a GRC through self-id but through the unreformed GRA 2004?
This is all completely mental.
The only solution is NO SEX CHANGES.
Sign this if you agree.

Interesting article, thanks.
Any chance there will be a full run down of all the amendments to the bill and hence the full extent of the disconnect between our political class and reality.
For example, there was another amendment to prevent men charged with a sex crime from applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate before their trial. That got voted down.

@Rev (1.29) –
That’s because it’s live. But the full broadcast will be uploaded later, probably about 4-ish. As well as that link it will also be available via Odysee.
The question must be asked can a Westminster legislated devolved government from London make Scots law?
It must be remembered that this is not a Scottish parliament, is it legal for SNPs acting under Westminster legislation and statues to apply laws for a Scottish people only within in the equalities Bill of UK.
I seem to be on a different page from everyone else & coming across as a bit of a party pooper. Could be because I’m less well informed than everyone else. Feel free to help educate me.
Am I correct in saying:
In order to gain a GRC men are required to ‘live as women’ for 6 months before gaining their GRC and 2 years in England.
What does it matter if a sex offender has or doesn’t have a GRC? What you would need is to deny them the right to ‘live as a woman’. How can you live as a woman in a men’s jail.
Neither Eddie Izzard or India Willoughby have GRCs. They are just ‘living as women’
If off now to buy some nice lingerie in ‘Agent Provocateur’ just in case I am required to prove I’m ‘living as a woman’. As it stands I really don’t know if I would pass the test.

Should we give up on independence based on this?
I say no Ruairidh. We don’t give up, we exhort ourselves to try even harder.
This whole sabotage of the SNP, selling out the Claim of Right, smearing Alex Salmond and stitching him up as a sex offender, dividing and dismantling the YES Movement and trying to jail as many YES activists as possible, squandering the outrage that was Scotland’s Brexit subjugation, and the whole infiltration of Transgender bullshit is, without doubt an orchestrated campaign to destroy Scottish Independence and wreck Scotland’s constitutional rights and integrity for ever.
The way Scotland defeats this insurrection and treachery from Sturgeon and her chums, is to secure Independence in spite of these treacherous turncoat bastards. We see their sworded crooked objective, some of us have actually seen it for a long time, and we defeat their dirty conniving objective by powering through to Independence by any means necessary, and the Claim of Right, god willing, will deliver Scotland from the clutches of their evil.
The enemies of Scotland, including Sturgeon, want Scotland’s future determined by Westminster. They want the Scottish Assembly bound hand and foot, and codified to be inferior to Westminster, to also be inferior to the UK’s Supreme Court, and they insist that Scotland’s parameters of action are contained inside the Scotland Act. This is brazen colonialism and an attempted constitutional insurrection which which must be defeated.
The Scotland Act is ONLY the duplicitous constitution of the Holyrood assembly, that is masquerading as though it was the ruling constitution of our Nation. It is NOT. The “power” is professes to have is an illusion.
Neither the Westminster Parliament, the Vichy Holyrood Parliament, the Scotland Act, the UK Supreme Court, nor even the latest King of England are sovereign in the Realm of Scotland, NONE OF THEM, because throughout the Realm of Scotland it is the Scottish people, and us alone, who are sovereign in the Realm of Scotland.
Long live the Claim of Right and Scotland’s sovereign Constitution!
If you haven’t already done so, get yourself, friends and family signed up to SALVO and Liberation.Scot
Let us end this eight year long curse of Nicola Sturgeon and do it by defeating her Benedict Arnold style betrayal of Scotland.
This is surely a matter for the Uk government to say No to the gender bill, as the devolved government is UK. By statue and legislation.
Dear God, how can these creatures sleep at night? ‘Trans’ fer your vote to ALBA or another independence party – not the f*****g Greens – and don’t let independence die. These people will regret the day they voted this stuff through. Go for deselection if you can, or transfer your vote. Campaign against by posting their names all over Scotland. Some, at least, of these MSPs will stand down before the next SE and skip off into the sunset clutching their gold-plated pension pot, but we know who they are, and we will find them again when this all goes belly-up. They are disgusting, self-serving sycophants to an ideology that no one except a few mentally-ill people actually believe in. THEY KNOW IT IS UTTER NONSENSE. Follow the money by following your MSP. Check which lucrative boards they are on. Don’t believe a word if they try to tell you this is international best practice and they absolutely have to do it. It is all lies. They have chosen to do it.

Tinto Chief – McKelvie is scum and was so even before this.
Just had a quick look at what Robison said in the context of the debate and how the safeguards against fraudulent GRC applications are supposed to work…but I can see a number of problems straightaway. Will write more later.
What I will say here is that the safeguards put a lot of faith in various systems that do not work well in practice right now. The extra burden involved in policing fraudulent GRC applications will not lighten the burden…obviously.
All feels a bit Charlton Heston ‘Damn You All To Hell!’

I’m late to the party because of work commitments but I endorse what the Rev wrote.
Every one of them should be sent a yellow ribbon for the chicken failure to fight FOR women.
Each of them should get a personal “White Feather” for the absolute cowardice to uphold the rights of all biological women.
Further to a discussion on Twitter and the piece by Micheal Foran on the UK Constitutional Law blog it’s worth pointing out that a GRC changes a person’s sex “for all purposes” with certain exceptions.
One of the exceptions is for hereditary peerages.
MSPs just voted against an exception for rapists though.
Let the moral bankruptcy of that sink in for a moment….
Micheal Foran also pointed out that the GRRB “will likely destabilise existing categories and frameworks for the purposes of the reserved matter of equal opportunities and could therefore lead the Secretary of State to issue a s.35 order prohibiting the Presiding Officer from submitting the Bill for Royal Assent.”
I hope those who voted against the Bill will be pressing the Scottish Secretary to do just that. The supporters of this bill have no popular mandate for it.

Sorry gender rights
Andy Ellis @3:06pm
I wonder if the Secretary of State is allowed to engage in politically motivated decisions compared to fulfilling their administrative duties objectively. Passing the bill on for royal ascent would likely sink the SNP for ever. However Charles might take a dim view of being asked to sign it since approval from the House of Windsor might create complications down the line.
As for destroying existing equality frameworks. Surely that’s the whole point of the ideology – I say, therefore I am.
I’m still trying to process this. It would be one thing to pass the legislation with some amendments on safe-guarding which allowed the SNP to keep the “progressive” label but still claim some pragmatism. However they went the whole nine yards with a slew of controversies which can only cause them extreme pain and suffering in the future.
It’s the SNP’s Jonestown. Unless of course, they’re banking on a fractured opposition – the populace in general since the other parties are in on it – being unable to do much about it.

..the populace in general since the other parties are in on it – being unable to do much about it.
In the end the populace – or at least the section of them who agree with “our” point of view will have to be persuaded to deprive the SNP and Greens of their majority. Nothing else will do.
They are not going to change. They are not fit for purpose, nor can they be rendered so. Only a decent chunk of current pro-independence support defecting to Alba, ISP and / or other parties who don’t buy in to the gender-woo will produce the desired result.
An independent Scotland dominated by the current SNP and Greens isn’t worth fighting for. Any immediate or short term progress was always a chimera: recent events show it would be undesirable and potentially illiberal.

“They will take my air guitar out from my COLD DEAD HANDS!”
“Last night the SNP literally voted for rapists and paedophiles.”
The whole agenda is the work of powerful rapists and paedophiles, the purpose of which is to normalise and legalise paedophilia, IMHO.
Great job, Rev. Stuart Campbell, for naming and shaming the disgusting, spineless, rape-enabling handmaiden scum.
Let this be “only the start” from our side.
ALBA should have only one policy and one manifesto item – independence.
The only purpose to get elected should be to carry out the manifesto promise.
We have seen how the SNP was hijacked to become a governing party actively working against independence.
So now its our fault that the SNP’s rapist and paedo bill is successful, well according to Sturgeon the betrayers unofficial
mouthpiece it is.
“I hope these folk understand that their tactics have directly contributed to ensuring GRA reform passes, as it will.”

In reference to gillian martin’s amendment that is just another diversion of squirrel sighting, instead of voting for the REAL WORTHWHILE amendment (which is also a load of bollocks , the whole GRR should have been voted down ), martin’s amendment only pushes the responsibility of decision on to polis Scotland which we ALL know is sturgeon’s militia so the result would have been no different but the scum politicians could have blamed the polis for another error
As others have commented , I posted a comment the other night about Joanna Cherry and the GRR , I understand Ms Cherry has spoken out about the GRR again and my understanding is that she has made the same statement that she did before , that the GRR poses a risk to LESBAINS and women, once more that strikes me as more about self interest than the concerns about WOMEN and GIRLS generally, also if she were SO CONCERNED about anyone’s safety surely she would have been more vociferous than a couple of comments
Sorry Breeks I believe if she TRULY believed in independence and the protection of REAL FEMALES she wouldn’t have stayed in that reviled and putrid party of perverts for so long .
Just imagine if she had fought Scotland’s cause through the COR and aligned herself with SALVO and SSRG her name would have been revered throughout history and the bairns would be taught about a great Scots heroine in classrooms, instead she remains within a party of amoral spineless amoeba whose governance of Scotland is FAILURE after FAILURE Led by a bullying deviant pervert with imposter syndrome who hasn’t the integrity or honesty to come out
When this bill passes unamended with regards to the above article, Scotland will see a flood of paedos and rapists head our way.

“What would happen if someone with a GRC did commit a sexual offence would they have their GRC withdrawn?”
Its an interesting question that. Because having facilitated this situation I think it would be fair to say that could be folk who would seek to make the point to the scum who forced this nonsense through.
Out another way. What if your little girl, a minor was abused by a chick with a dick who through his GRC was helped perpetrate the crime.
Might have been SNP legal, but you know what, I think there’s folks that could go hunting those who facilitated perverts through this flawed legislation.
This legislation is going to cause big big problems.

No need to be sorry. It feels like we’re watching the SNP commit political suicide with this garbage, and anybody staying on board with that until the bitter end has nobody to blame but themselves.
Nobody to blame but themselves, but in all sincerity, how many of these tow rags will be missed?
Like Morag, I remember campaigning with our current SNP MSP, Emma Harper, in 2014. She seemed a decent enough candidate then but since has supplanted Joan MacAlpine by identifying as disabled to get to the top of the list, so the plan to remove Joan MacAlpine worked beautifully for her career and also the SNP leadership’s plot to rid themselves of a supporter of women’s rights.
Just like the other shameless operators in the SNP who voted to allow sexual predators’ entry to women’s private places, she apparently has no scruples about how dangerous her pusillanimous enabling is for children and the genuine disabled. I should say that they ought to be ashamed but I think that these people abandoned any conscience a long time ago in order to gain a place on the gravy train.
The craven behaviour of the female MSPs will not be forgotten and demonstrates outright contempt for their women voters. it also demonstrates what I have encountered in the past and that is, there is very little solidarity among women. They are as capable of misogyny as men and especially if there is any favour to be found from men or personal advantage.
I would like to think that they would be held responsible for any subsequent sexual crimes committed by predatory males but I think their fellow travellers in the media will protect them from that and from the odium they deserve for what they have helped to facilitate,
The SNP is actively discrediting independence at every opportunity. It is its agenda.
The independence movement has to be made SNP-free.

What would they care about being blamed after they had achieved their own selfish agenda and retired with their millions?
Do the likes of Blair and Johnson care about being blamed by anyone?
The Rev. Stuart Campbell has done all decent folks a great favour by naming and shaming the scum.
It is now upto the people to put unbearable pressure to force them to resign.
I am a supporter of Ghandi type pressure, not violence.
I cannot describe with words the level of contempt and anger I feel right now towards the cowardice, unbelievable level of ignorance, self-servitude and corruption displayed by those 64 individuals. I have never felt so let down and betrayed by politicians in my entire life.
They claim to represent us. However voting down an amendment which would have protected females from rapists, paedophiles and perverted fetishists does NOT represent my interests nor those of any other female. And by female I mean a born XX female. It goes directly against us. I consider this a disgusting abuse of power, misuse of a parliamentary seats and a perverted use of the SNP brand, associated with the pursuit of independence, to pass this crap by force and then dishonestly claim it has support from the public when it does not.
There is nothing, NOTHING progressive in a move to purposely erode female’s rights nor in bringing down the protective barriers to expose women and girls to predators. It cannot get any more regressive than this.
I will never forgive nor forget this day, so it is better no SNP representative, libdem or Greens ever come knocking at my door. Otherwise I will take pleasure in giving them a piece of my mind and remind them of this day and the appalling level of betrayal they have displayed to women. They have made me feel today as if they consider females just as disposable toys for perverts, paedophiles and fetishists to play with. I cannot condone on that. I cannot look the other way nor I want to.
Shame of them all. I cannot even bring to look at their faces in those pictures, among which sits my own MSP. I feel today the uttermost regret and remorse at having ever trusted and cast a vote for the SNP under the useless 2-faced Sturgeon. “Feminist to my fingertips” my backside.
But something is clear to me: if these disgraceful cowards cannot even find the balls to stand up to their loser of a leader, if they cannot bring themselves to oppose the rich, perverted men using the trans people as a shield to push this agenda to hand sick males free access to females, and if they find acceptable to use a dodgy back door to artificially “balance” gender representation by having males standing as females, there is no hope in hell we will ever see these corrupt good for nothing cowards attempting to even find the balls to actually end this political union.
Sturgeon’s SNP has failed us at every possible level. What an embarrassing waste of time and votes.
Let’s sack this garbage and the garbage in Westminster sitting under the SNP banner. Let’s vote them out, every single one of them. They have proven to have no interest at protecting females and children from harm, nor they have shown any interest whatsoever in ending this union despite being given 7 long fucking years of majorities to effect it.
I never had time for labour, libdems or cons. But hell will freeze before I ever cast a vote or listen again to any of these SNP and Green scumbags, who have demonstrated with this vote they happily put the wants of perverts and sex offenders before the security and wellbeing of women and girls.
In the Rev’s thread about Murrell’s “loan” one of the comments suggested the figure represented almost exactly $150,000. This leads me to seriously wonder who might be really paying Murrell’s salary. I also wonder if there might be a chance the most strict secrecy around this man’s salary and SNP accounts might have been because somebody’s salary/funds might have been coming from an unofficial source that is neither the party’s membership nor the funds received from the UK gov.
How many ex-SNP members, deceased members and non-members who were added to their emailing list for donating to the indyref funds or having signed an SNP petition or another feature within the “official” membership numbers?
How likely/frequent among political parties in Scotland is the scenario where an inflated and blurred “official” membership figure might help to hide funds coming from an external source else?
How likely are we to find within Scotland’s politics the unethical situation where a reliable revenue stream coming from an obscure source can only be secured for as long as that source remains in the shadows, for as long as the party becomes a shell and for as long as the membership is completely detached from any form of control? Of course, for such scenario to make sense, the revenue stream coming from the obscure source must be larger than the potential revenue loss caused by an exodus of members disgusted at the change.
Why aren’t the SNP’s “leadership” changing direction despite the evident irreversible damage they have caused to the party and the obvious loss of revenue from the many members who have left the party?
Follow the money they say. There must be a very good financial reason to implode the party, to transform it into another colonial political tool and to potentially lose their seats by viciously alienating membership and voters with this gender garbage.
I just saw a bloke on ITN news saying there was no evidence that trans were a threat to women – someone should direct him to BDT’s link and while they are at it direct the lazy media who don’t bother to research and challenge.

And if folk want to keep this article and the rogues gallery (list of shame) i’d recommend you archive and save it. Then post links directly to WOS and this article everywhere possible.

I’d also like to state that i stand with those calling time on Joanna Cherry & Co. Actions speak louder than words. Now is the time to draw attention to this abuse of the indy movement vote by resigning from Sturgeon’s Nonce Party and moving to ALBA.

Aye, just like it contributed to your gravy train reelection campaign earlier in the year … 😀

Disbelief and grief abounds.
Reap what you sow indeed.
I’ve never been on Twatter Rev, but I’ve posted the link to this article on GETTR and spinster. I’ve asked all Scots on those platforms to send it to their MSPs, who, I’m sure, they will find in your list.
Every cloud ……
Clyde 2 news headlines on car radio had it as their THIRD article.
Newsreader made out as if it was just another Bill going through the motions at Holyrood,,,no big deal.
This is the media taking the side of Sturgeon, don’t scare the horses.
Keep it low key, no outage to report of.
Sturgeon has the Scottish media eating out of her hand.
Tucker Carlson, the rogue almost solitary remaining ‘mainstream’ news reporter, on of all places Fox News, has recently reported explicitly that the CIA killed JFK.
He is 100% correct. (This is not news to anyone who has looked but if he is saying it, it is coming out for a reason.)
He also went on to suggest that democracy in the US died that day in 1963 and we have had a sham American democracy ever since.
Again the guy is reporting fact, but it has been known for a long time for those with the courage to look. He is totally right on all of it. ‘They’ the US deep state as they are called today killed JFK, and that was the end of western democracy 60 odd years ago.
But it goes beyond that. First they killed the democratically elected president and that worked for a while, a few decades… but then they realised we would just find a new JFK especially after the internet came about and people started to really notice things…
So they decided to assassinate us as well, the electorate. And progressive / woke politics is their egregore, their intellectual trojan horse, their societal poison pill to achieve it. Destroy marriage, the family, childhood… do you see where they are coming from here. You are being broken down.
If you want to understand the origins of woke politics, the stitch of Alex Salmond and the warfare being waged on the populations of the west, understand who seized power in the USA in 1963 and who have never let go since.
Same cunts running Scotland and Nicky IMHO.
Watch out after the New Year for the exodus of English Trannys heading North of the border to the promised land.
Sturgeon is their new Messiah.
Pass the word,,, there’s a free-for-all in Scotland,,, anything goes.
@Stoker
If I get a reply from Robertson I will share it.
I see Cherry saying on Twitter in response to similar queries to those raised above that she refuses to give in to bullies who want her to leave. Up to a point in the past that may have been a valid response. Now? Not so much.
Sadly it has been obvious for a considerable period that the SNP is beyond salvation. It is too damaged. I’m afraid despite holding Joanna in high regard that given current events her decision to stay and fight her battle in the SNP rather than put the common weal first now looks hopelessly misplaced.
Plenty of outrage here, bet that will frighten the shit out of wee Nick….not!
Bot one idea as to how the removal of Sturgeon and her minions is to be accomplished.
The sad truth is that the public cant be arsed with “politics” not even social politics and will just get on with their weary lives.
Our people have become lazy and terror stricken, afraid to be caught on the wrong side of twitter or facebook.
Our society will continue down the deviant road like Sodom in biblical times until it self destructs….long after ideas like Independence, sovereignty, freedom, have been forgotten.
Just pull down the saltire folks and run up the white flag.
As Aime Cesaire said, and much as we see in the ongoing activities of this despicable colonial administration:
“a civilization which justifies colonization – and therefore force – is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased.”
In addition to death and taxes the third certainty in life is that in every aspect of human activity there will always be some group, sub-group or individual who will take advantage to the point of, to put it in industrial parlance, ‘kicking the arse out of it.’
This reality is why we have rules and laws which are, at least in theory if not always in practice, supposed to apply to everyone and which attempt as far as practicable to cover as many eventualities as possible.
To take an example:
Even a cursory check of the data will show that the percentage of all vehicle drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs is low. Not, of course low enough even today – there are, as stated above, always some who either ‘kick the arse out of it’ or take unnecessary risks.
The point is, however, that no one would ever in all seriousness suggest that;
A. Because there are a relative few among the whole population of vehicle drivers who do drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs that ALL drivers are likely to do the same.
B. Because there are relatively few drivers in the population who do drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs that there should be no law which protects the rest of the public – be they drivers of other vehicles (whether trucks, cars, motor bikes/scooters or bicycles), passengers or pedestrians – from the consequences of those who do drive under the influence of such substances.*
*sidebar: the objective reality being that collisions with other objects – whether other vehicles, stationary objects like telegraph poles, walls or lamp posts, or other people which result in injury or death to innocent parties – are significantly increased under such circumstances.
C. The existence of laws and prohibitions against driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs represents some kind of bigoted attack on ALL drivers and is based on a phobia and hatred towards drivers per se.
Yet, this is in principle the exact stance that those voting against the amendment have taken – as reported by Stuart Campbell in this article.
If you see someone exiting a venue which serves alcohol who is unsteady on their feet attempting to drive a vehicle you would not expect a call to the police in order to prevent the higher risk of an accident which may injure or kill someone else (or even the driver involved) to result in the police cautioning you for being a bigot against drivers; elected politicians taking to social media to denounce you as a ‘hate criminal’; your employer terminating your employment; or a mob of puerile adolescents (of any chronological age) issuing death and other threats against you with no action by the police, politicians, or employers against those who make such “hate crime” threats.**
**sidebar: Such a stance by said politicians, police and employers tacitly implying your concerns for your personal safety and that of others – previously known as social responsibility – are sufficient justification for taking a position that you brought such treats upon yourself. An inconsistent position given that the same principle is not applied in the normal reciprocal manner the other way around.
Yet, today, this is precisely where we are with the defeat of this amendment in the Scottish Parliament.
You are more likely to be prosecuted by the police or lose your job on a charge of ‘hate crime’ for raising concerns relevant to your individual personal safety or that of someone you are related to or know than an individual who has been found guilty of actions which are not only considered socially unacceptable but are also, at least at the present time, criminally illegal.
The fact that institutions and organisations across these islands and beyond – from the police, judiciary, and legal profession to employers, the NHS, education service, media and politicians of all (alleged) stripes – are pushing and championing this anti-social, anti-society, anti-rational, and anti-woman misogynistic extreme subjective individualism should set alarm bells ringing.
This is an Official Narrative. A Narrative totally in tune with the ravings of Ayan Rand and Margaret ‘there’s no such thing as society only the individual’ Thatcher. As such, like ALL other Official Narratives – from WMD’s in Iraq to supporting genuine full metal Nazis and fascists in Ukraine – it tolerates no argument , deviation or contradiction.
As one,Fearghas MacFhionnlaigh, put it about eighteen months ago on another blog I follow :
“Thus arises an intriguing ‘binary’ relationship between extreme individualistic subjectivism and extreme state authoritarianism. Assertion of non-negotiable pseudo-sacrosanct narcissistic power is common to both. Objective law as irreducible sphere of reality is subverted by arbitrary personalism. Might determines right. Autocracy of self-ID is mirrored by autocracy on high.”
As with other Official Narratives this Narrative and what it represents is also existential for both sides.
Just back from the GRR protest, excellent speakers and a good turnout which should have been better. Lots of local conversation on why Sturgeon is pushing this agenda when there is so much more to address – it seems global. Also participants had access to parliament pre rally with no security issues. Afterwards we were kept waiting up to 20 minutes just to get in, security asked us to remove belts, coats etc and leave all phones etc in view on the trays. All handbags were searched. My t-shirt was confiscated for security purposes, gotta say it was better than airport security! Wonder tho if this as a tactic to prevent us admission to the debating chamber by delaying us? The actual debate was appalling, a five year could do a better job. I’m still furious that these knobs are in charge. For|Scotland’s sake vote Alba.
