The short walk to stupid

Posted on December 28, 2022 by

It was already quite bold/crass to equate “letting rapists change their legal sex so their victim has to refer to them as ‘she’ in court” with the life’s work of Nelson Mandela.

But the punchline was still a chef’s kiss to treasure.

Technically, of course, the SNP’s newly legislated gender reforms don’t grant men the right to be housed in women’s prisons – the Scottish Government already permitted that, even in the case of violent sex offenders, while passing the buck for individual decisions to the overwhelmed prison service.

But it still takes a special level of chutzpah to boast that you’re somehow upholding the legacy of Nelson Mandela when you’re part of a government that – as a matter of deliberate policy, not by accident or oversight – is openly and systematically flouting the rules that actually have his name on them.

Scotland, a country which prides itself on its “progressiveness” and on following “international best practice”, does not meet even the minimum UN standards for the treatment of female prisoners, yet its government boasts of its plans to lower the bar even further, and actively voted down multiple proposals to limit the access of sex offenders to vulnerable women.

Is Angus Roberston so deaf that he cannot hear their pleas?

    The SNP are by now a Party of evermore fanciful delusion & risible hyperbole . They just make stuff up and don’t even care that anyone with the slightest degree of awareness knows it’s all shite ; total garbage .

    From pocket Trotski -I Blackford imagining he’s ” speaking truth to Power ” by the act of going for his lunch early @ WM to fannybaws Smarmelade Man – A Robertson invoking Nelson Mandela in a frankly bizarre attempt to legitimise the GRRA obscenity , the SNP have left Narnia and are now heading towards Neverland – both Lewis Carroll’s & Michael Jackson’s , destination a “galaxy far far Away

I have no idea why he is bragging when it is obvious that some of his colleagues who voted for it feel the shame of doing so. The spineless Alisdair Allan & Jenni Minto mention nothing about it on Twitter. They must feel shame as it cannot be fear of being deselected as coups are now well underway in their constituencies. They were well warned by their members who are now outraged by what has happened. They knew what they are doing and they deserve no pity when they are flung out. Good riddance!

    Robertson and his SNP MSPs, don’t give a toss about pleas, they’ve go their own agenda to push, if they can use Mandela’s name to further push their warped and twisted agenda the they will, Robertson is one of the rapist/paedo enablers, as long as the SNP and the Greens hold office in Scotland, we the people will be dragged deeper down the rabbit hole, and women and children will hold their heads in their hands, like Edvard Munch’s Scream painting, everytime the door opens on one of their safe spaces.

    smitty @ 11:29 am.

    This was the response I got when I raised the subject with him again.

    “Thank you for your email.

    We have been corresponding on this topic for nearly five years now, so I hope you will forgive me for not rehashing all the arguments. I would simply say that I do not agree this Bill diminishes the rights of women or negatively impacts their safety or welfare.

    The Bill will make no changes to the 2010 Equality Act; which allows a number of exceptions for single-sex spaces. Exceptions in the Equality Act enable single-sex services to exclude trans people or treat them less favourably where it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. Those exceptions still apply and can do whether the person has a Gender Recognition Certificate or not. I support those exceptions and think they provide important protections. The Bill does not change them.

    It affects no change to the way in which people seek gender dysphoria services and treatment through the NHS: medical pathways are regulated by the NHS as opposed to the Gender Recognition Act. Having a Gender Recognition Certificate does not override the exemptions in the Equality Act 2010 around participation in sport, nor will it change the Scottish Prison Service’s policy on trans prisoners. It will not change or remove women’s rights or make changes to how toilets and changing rooms operate.

    While we are not going to agree, I respect that you have a different view to me on this, and have tried to approach the bill as thoughtfully as I can.

    I hope this is helpful and that you have a good Christmas and New Year.”

    Good Christmas? I nearly boaked!

    Xmas is the time for old friends to meet up or to get in touch and this year has been no exception.

    Once all the family catch-up stuff was out of the way and knowing my position on independence for Scotland, 2 of my friends raised the issue of the FM and SNP. Both said roughly the same thing! “What the hell do they think they’re doing up there – I thought they were there to get you independence?”

    When I told them both how serious the situation had become, I was told that as far as they and many of their friends were concerned the SNP and Scottish Government had become a laughing stock! One of them said that he could hardly wait for the next episode of the comedy show!

    Well, it may be funny to them but not to the millions of Scots who trusted the SNP to deliver on their supposed number one objective.

    Rates of poverty have never been higher and the fact that over 250 homeless people died on the streets of Scotland last year is a national disgrace.

    Instead of focussing on solving these problems by assuring independence by any peaceful means, we are instead subjected to NS and her party’s social engineering experiment that has distressed and angered around 99% of Scottish women that they have now endangered.

    There is no way that we can expect the SNP to lead us to independence. In fact, in 2015, if she had deliberately set out to destroy the hopes of the Yes Movement, she could not have created a better plan than the one she has delivered.

    What a lying hypocrite, he makes me puke.

    He and his party are producing guidance for schools, hospitals, prisons and other public bodies telling them they have to allow trans identifying men into women’s toilets, wards, cells, refuges and changing rooms.

    They get selfies taken with the male CEO of Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre.

    Willie John (via Angus Robertson): “… Those exceptions still apply and can do whether the person has a Gender Recognition Certificate or not. I support those exceptions and think they provide important protections. The Bill does not change them… ”

    He is wrong. Lady Haldane’s ruling that a GRC allows ‘trans’ women to be ‘legal women’ for all purposes, including public board membership, effectively destroys those protected characteristics – except for gender reassignment. Women can be of any age, of any religion, of any race. What good will the exemptions be if they can be overridden by ‘trans’ women. The clash between existing laws and the GRRA will become very evident soon. This stupidity will destroy ALL female rights and spaces in time. It is in the clashes between existing laws that the supporters of this nonsense actually believe they can bring them all down. For example, if you have a ‘trans’ woman in a changing room with his bits on show, so long as he has a GRC or says he has one – how do we police it? – he cannot be charged with public indecency/flashing even though he is an intact, heterosexual male, while a non-‘trans’ heterosexual male who flashes in public can be charged. Natural justice does not allow for one set of males to be charged and another not for precisely the same ‘offence’. What do you think will happen, folks? What will happen is that Stonewall and its vicious lobby will bully everyone into accepting that the pertinent law should be scrapped. This is how they will do it – bring down all prohibitive laws one by one.

    Many laws relating to female rights – maternity leave, maternity benefits, 50% representations, sex discrimination laws, equal pay laws, etc., will all fall under the onslaught of this absolute con. These men are, by and large, sexual fetishists and perverts. Most (there are exceptions, but they are few) get their rocks off on forcibly making unwilling females part of their fetish or perversion. That is what our politicians have allowed: the forcible participation against their will of females. Get your heads round that, people. Denying that it is sexual when all the evidence, often from their own silly mouths, shows the opposite, fools no one. Too much evidence exists that that is exactly what it is. The vast majority have no illusions about being women. They know they are men; they know why they are doing this; and even the cruelty and sadism involved in the treatment of female prisoners is a turn on.

    They want access to all female spaces in order to sexually harass females lawfully. I know Angus Robertson and he is not a stupid man; he is, though, a politician and an ambitious one at that. I will never forgive what these politicians in Holyrood have done to females. Never. I wonder, had we corralled them after that vote and strip-searched them, how many pairs of women’s knickers adorning hairy male a***s would have discovered? The women are barely worth a mention. They are an even greater source of disgust. They all need to be turfed out except those who showed genuine courage and voted according to their consciences.

    Thank you, Rev, and thank you all those bloggers and politicians and women’s organisations and individual women who did not bend the knee to this vicious and vile ‘trans’ lobby’. Shame on all those who have pandered to it. We will not forget.

    The fake radicalism of gender-bending is played out now. It may have warmed the cockles of life’s simpler soldiers who think it really IS the same as ending Apartheid, but now what?
    Gender-bending had nothing radical about it in terms of challenging power. All the REAL power from Sorros to the US west coast tech industry were in favour.

    But what now, Robertson? The only way to w@nk more out of this gender-bender goat is to start advocating for Minor Attracted People (MAPs, aka paedophiles) or Zooophiles (fans of beastiality). Are you going to go down that road? Not yet, I suspect.

    Or are you going to do something about decent jobs, decent housing, homelessness, drug addiction? I doubt it, because there’s no cheers from those powers that be from that and it would mean challenging – rather than stroking – vested interests. So you’ll do nothing to benefit ordinary people.

    Or will you push for Indy? Not in the form of a comfortable speech from leather bound benches are being well lunched, but in the form of actually seriously challenging the Union? No, for the same reason you’ll do nothing on jobs and housing.

    So what now, Nelson?

    Looks to me like you’re all out of road – maybe a fake plebiscitary election will turn out to be your best hope to cling to power. And when London laughs at it, as usual, you can make a fine indignant speech – after being well lunched – and then settle back down to devo business as usual.

    Well where are the responses, Nikoliar has REFUSED CONTINUALLY to reveal the responses of the second consultation
    The first consultation was open to people and organisations from across the WORLD who had vested interests in this aberration being passed , and even with that deliberate attempt by Sturgeon to gerrymander the vote she could only barely attain 50% of the organisations who supported it, the other organisation who was lukewarm on the legislation was counted as a supporter thereby her claim of over 50% support

    As STATED numerous times SHE and her minions including Robison REFUSE CONTINUOUSLY to reveal the numbers of the second consultation, with Robison recently citing legal reasons
    If as any person with a brain would suspect that the numbers would reveal overwhelming opposition from the respondents their deliberate withholding of the information would EXPOSE their DELIBERATE and WILLFUL attempts to DECEIVE and CORRUPT what should have been a democratic consultation of the electorate

    Sturgeon the Judas unamended rapist enabling GRRB has caused a bit of division at Westminster, with the likes of former PM Theresa May backing it and wanting it applied to England as well. Also Senior Tory MP Michael Fabricant has also suggested that the UK Government should let the bill stand.

    “However, a group of cross-party MPs – Conservative Miriam Cates, Labour’s Rosie Duffield and the DUP’s Carla Lockhart – have written to the Scottish Secretary asking him to intervene to block the gender reform.

    In a letter reported by the Telegraph, the three claim the GRR bill will “threaten the legal basis on which women and girls are currently protected in the rest of the United Kingdom”, as well as posing “a real risk to the safety of women and girls in Scotland”.

    The rapist/paedo enablers will staunchly defend the GRRB.

    “If the UK Government does look to invoke Section 35 and block the bill – which it must do before January 19 – it will almost certainly face a legal battle with its Scottish counterpart.

    A Scottish Government spokesperson has said that “any attempt by the UK Government to undermine the democratic decision of the Scottish Parliament will be vigorously contested”.”

    The Scottish government will fight tooth and nail to make sure the unamended GRRB stands, if only these b*stards fought as hard for Scottish independence, we’d have ditched this rancid onesided union by now. Treacherous shits the lot of them.

    At stake is the decision to delay by two years, the final roll out of universal provision to primary six and seven, when the target date was August last year. The umbrage of the teaching unions is exacerbated by the “sneaky” way news of the delay was released and the break-down of their own relationship with the Scottish Government.

    Andrea Bradley, general secretary of the EIS union, said that, in the middle of a cost of living crisis, the move “runs contrary” to efforts to tackle child poverty and attacked ministers for having “obscured” the position within the draft 2023-24 Scottish Budget.”

It was all about silencing, bullying, hounding good people who cared about independence and Green issues out those two parties. It was left to mostly academic and policy women to mount a campaign based on evidence and highly intelligent research and briefing. All great, and hugely brave of them. But mostly ignored the public who, even politically aware ones, mostly thought this was all overblown and of course they wouldn’t *really* be letting rapists call themselves women and go into fans or jails, changing rooms etc.

    Now it’s done and out there, there is no hiding it. No hiding the bill, it’s implications, the specific amendments that clarify, “Yes, also rapists and those in court for rape”. It’s horrific for the SNP, Greens and Indy movement who all failed to prevent it and in fact enabled it. But for the debate itself, it now moved from academic and policy wonks to the real Scottish public. We can hopefully expect to see a lot more of the real Scotland in that phase: anger, humour and ‘whit the fuck’ery.

    “To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects en enhances the freedom of others”

    If I had any doubts this UK state puppet arsehole was taking the piss, that tweet has completely dissipated them.

    Clearly the spin doctor who choose this quote from Mandela when what these pervert enablers have just done is to deliberately disrespect and curtail the freedom of women, and indirectly the freedom of the people of Scotland to exercise their legitimate right to choose independence, shows their wicked sense of humour. If you are going to insult the intelligence of the electorate, you may as well do it while you give yourself a good belly laugh.

    What I see here is a useful idiot of the state deliberately inflaming women and men to provoke a strong negative response against independence.

    By dragging somebody as highly regarded as Nelson Mandela into the last unionist brainfart – using the political game of enshrining science denial into law and fabricating an obvious threat against women and children which did not exist before, this idiot has totally convinced me they are following a UK establishment script aimed to deliberately offend and trash the chances of the SNP winning the next GE and put people off independence.

    It is as obvious they do not want a plebiscite election as it is that this idiot does not believe a single word he wrote in that tweet. What this person appears to be doing is simply adding fuel to the fire to ensure that, if a plebiscite election is being forced by public demand, sufficient “soft Yes”, “soft No’s” and sufficient “Don’t knows” have been persuaded to not voting pro-indy parties for fear it would become a paradise for degenerates and hell for women and children.

    It is the exact same strategy pursued by the UK establishment in 2014. There was a video from the man who led this strategy bragging about the success. The pivotal point in the strategy was selecting the target population. They understood there was absolutely no point in targeting strong Yes voters because they would never be persuaded no matter what. The votes that will decide the final result are soft yes, soft no and don’t knows. And these are the exact same ones they are targeting with this crap.

    The aggressiveness of this approach and the nastiness behind the type of risk they are fabricating and the fact it presents a threat to the most vulnerable in society, is in my view a measure of how much they think they have to regress support for independence in Scotland and how much they fear it.

    Clearly they are hoping to reduce support for independence sufficiently to make us more receptive to a totally discredited and laughed at devolution/federalism or whatever brand name they choose to give it this time. It is and will always be devolution though – the illusion of power and therefore will always be found wanting. The brexit fiasco has just showed us how useless devolution is.

    What is striking is they are not even bothering anymore trying to change the perception towards independence with arguments in favour of the union, clearly because they know there are none. So the only thing they can do is to artificially fabricate reasons and risks that portray independence under a very bad light and the laughable devolution under the “safety” bet.

    That they are deliberately bringing the Scottish people down the hierarchy of needs right to the very bottom of the pyramid and as far apart as self-actualisation (self-determination) as they possibly can, suggests they are aware of how difficult it will be for the people of Scotland to accept devolution over independence. It is a all or nothing battle. I suspect they are approaching the end of the barrel with this.

    But this strategy also points to something which has been carefully thought, studied and planned, rather than randomly applied. It is clear they have given a serious thought to how the people would react.

    This strategy suggests they have realised the only way they can now put people off independence is if they get them worried about their basic needs: their safety, the safety of their children, their freedom and their access to food, a home and clothing. The Gender nonsense law takes care of the safety part, while the aftermath of brexit and the obscene and unjustifiable increase in energy/food prices in an energy self-sufficient country as Scotland is, takes care of the rest. Selling at rock bottom prices the sea bed plots for off shore wind and the demands for the oil, of which Scotland has lots of, must remain in the ground, have been thrown in for good measure as a way to help creating the illusion that Scotland’s energy is either not Scotland’s, or is so bad it cannot longer be used nor accounted for when calculating Scotland’s wealth.

    They would not do this if they did not believe a majority of the people of Scotland would support independence in a plebiscite election and would give pro-indy MPs a mandate to terminate the union. So there is always a silver lining on this.

    What I find hilarious is that the script writer is presenting the tories as the champions for women. They clearly think us women have very short memories and we have forgotten all about the rape clause by now, a trademark of tory policy.

    Tories do not give a sht about women, unless they have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth or can be vilified on demand like Michele Mone to make Scots look bad and bring them down a peg or two when distracting us from some inconvenience is required.

    Cash, tax havens and neoliberal wars is the only thing they care about. So to choose the tories as the “saviour” character in this charade, when they are despised in Scotland, also demonstrates the script writer has a good sense of humour.

    The more I see this script unfolding in front of our eyes the more convinced I become that Sturgeon’s pretend SNP have already arranged some form of agreement with the UK establishment behind our backs so when labour gets in n10 we will be put back in the box with more useless devolution and false promises.

    I guess what they are doing now is working relentlessly to build up the illusion there is enough support for unionist parties, so they can foist this on us. I am assuming STurgeon’s infamous SNP 1 and 2 was part of this strategy as well. It would have been check mate had Mr Salmond’s ALBA taken the seats instead of STurgeon handing them over to the colonial representatives.

    Robertson writes “I fervently believe the parliament & people of Scotland have taken one more step in doing just that”

    I find this to be another fabulous example of the wicked sense of humour of the spin doctor/strategist who wrote the script. It is well known the consultation for this embarrassing “legislation” was opened to people from outwith Scotland, breaching any form of democratic process and rubbishing the claim the views in the consultation were from the people of Scotland. To claim now this is the “people of Scotland” taking the step is, in my view, a deliberate provocation designed to put people off.

    It is most telling the tweet says “the parliament and people of Scotland”. Whoever wrote this clearly sees both things, Holyrood and the people of Scotland, as two completely separate and independent entities. This reveals a colonialist/undemocratic point of view.

    In a healthy democracy, a parliament should be an expression of the people of Scotland, not a separate entity that follows a completely different direction and pursue different interests. By forcing this legislation against the will of the people of Scotland and after a flawed consultation which invited external interests for whom Holyrood cannot legislate, Holyrood has undemocratically gone ultravires – actively, knowingly and deliberately against the fundamental interests and will of the people of Scotland it is meant to represent. Holyrood has been used as a weapon against the people of Scotland, rather than as a democratically elected parliament.

    I think we should be obliging and give these betrayers exactly what they are begging for. But not just to the SNP, but to them all. I think we should eject each and every single SNP, labour, libdem and tory MPs from our seats on the next GE and each and every Greens, SNP, libdems, tories and Labour MSP who cast a vote to force this aberration on the people of Scotland from Holyrood. That ought to teach them and the UK establishment a hard lesson of what democracy is about, what a parliament is for and whose interests those sitting in Holyrood and Scotland’s seats in Westminter are expected to pursue.

    It would also send a very strong message to them all that they can stick their ridiculous political and psychological games to frustrate Scotland’s independence right where the sun does not shine.

    Let’s do it!

    [Equally those who chunter on about genital inspections as if that’s the way people correctly work out the sex of people. 99.99% of the time you can do that within seconds with fully clothed people from a distance.]

    Exactly that. Millions of years of evolution are manifest in what happens at puberty. I sometimes wonder if those people who support the nonsensical ‘choosing’ of sex as reality actually remember the experience of puberty. (They know well enough what puberty does when it comes to supporting the use of puberty blockers, however.)

    Evolution is only about procreation of a species – anything else is extraneous unless it aids survival, at least until you procreate. Hermaphrodite reproduction is rare among species probably because sexual reproduction is a better way of passing on genes to put it simply. Thereafter, it’s all about sex and being able to find a mate. To that end, it’s obviously essential that you should be able to pair up with a mate of the opposite sex so visual recognition is important. Now this will sound simple and obvious to all of you so why have the trans idealogues been able to confuse so many people that they believe it’s all about choice? Do they not recall their own experience? Puberty was a long time ago for me and my ten year old pre-pubescent self was not particularly looking forward to being a woman though I thought resignedly it was going to happen.

    Then came puberty and I understood. That ancient process was the strange, disorienting biological imperative that could not be escaped or willed away. Those biology lessons ( in my day sexual reproduction was always about frogs with quick references to mammalian reproduction) actually made sense now. This wasn’t a system that allowed any choice; it was programmed to happen to you without any consultation on preferences.

    So too with sexual orientation which is set around the time of puberty. Surely these transactivists must know that you didn’t choose your sexual orientation no matter how it turned out for the individual? You don’t decide whether you are gay or heterosexual. It just happens to you as part of the process of puberty when your orientation is set.

    As panda paws has said physical recognition of the sexes is basic and that is down to evolution. The sexes are clearly defined physically as long as you have eyes to see. The physical transformation of males who go through puberty takes longer than that of females and is more radical, particularly the skeletal changes, including that of the skull. The adult male not only has a very different skeletal shape from that of his boyhood but the very significant changes to the skull, the male brow ridge, the heavier, stronger jaw mean that as an adult it can be difficult often to look at photos of the boy and recognise the boy’s face in that of the man he became.

    Yet trans ideology would ask us to disbelieve what we see. No amount of make-up can disguise the adult male jaw. Some I’ve seen on the internet have a jaw-line rather like Desperate Dan. Despite this, they demand that we must see them as women.

    Archaeologists like Professor Alice Roberts know all of this perfectly well. When examining ancient remains they know the physical attributes to look for when deciding the sex of the skeleton. The pelvic girdle, if present, is an obvious determinant but even if only a skull is present then sex can be decided because of the presence or absence of certain defining features such as the male brow ridge and the heavier, squarer jaw compared to the more gracile appearance of a boy’s skull or a woman’s. (In fact, it’s more difficult by physical appearance alone to define the sex of a child’s skull simply because the fact of puberty not having occurred before death.)

    Yet Alice Roberts appears to support the idea that you can self-id into the sex of your choice. You sometimes wonder who is running the asylum.

    I often take my grand-daughters to a park in a slightly more affluent town from mine which has a great children’s playground where the Yummy Mummies and Groovy Daddies bring their tinies.

    One day my elder GDD was on the see-saw with a child with long blond hair and androgynous grunge clothing, nothing so blatant and judgmental as blue or pink, so I concluded that the parents were achingly right-on types who didn’t want to “stereotype” their child, whose very name was far from a help.

    I was finding things a bit awkward since the usual questions you ask to make conversation with parents like, “How old is he/she now? Has he/she started nursery yet?” can be a bit of a minefield in these circumstances and you don’t want to offend, despite your very strong conclusions.

    Thankfully my three-y-o solved my problem quickly by announcing with disappointment, “The boy’s gone!” when he jumped off to have a go on the swings.

    Wee kids know it, Panda Paws’ adults know it and any honest scientist knows the score too and yet we’re expected to pussy-foot around that weasel word “gender” instead of using that simple word “sex”. The only time I encountered the G-word growing up was in classifying nouns in various languages, which seemed good enough for the world at the time.

    “Gender Studies” and the whole dishonest, shebang in every aspect of our lives to promote more societal division? That way madness lies.

    No sexes changes
    Impersonating a woman made a hate crime
    (black face is a hate crime so why not woman face)
    No more bloody pronouns
    No more lady dick
    No more crazy words like chest feeder & womb haver
    No more trans.

    Shug.

    Sorry for late reply,
    Winnie Ewan may have said it, but that does not make it true,
    The devolved government is under Englands Westminster legislation, in otherwords it is a branch of Westminster,

    It was not legislated by a authentic Scottish parliament. Or presented to the people of Scotland by Scotland it self, but by the english parliament, Westminster.

    And the reason I state English law created the devolved Scottish parliament is as follows.
    The UK parliament claims it is one of the oldest parliament (continued running) parliaments being of 800 years or so,

    Where as the UK parliament site also claims that by agreeing to the treaty of the union, Scotlands parliament ceased to exist,

    This was one of the conversations held in the United kingdom, House of Lords privileges Committee, Schedule 2 to the 1963 Act Law revision Scotland Act, page 578.
    Treaty of the Union, Article XX11, by Lord Slynn of Hadley,

    The debate includes a reference to academic lawyers on wether or not there is a treaty of Union, since neither state has existed since 1707.

    @David Hannah –

    Cheers mister, you’ve given me the chance to revisit a bugbear i.e. the alcohol minimum pricing law in Scotland.

    My tipple of choice is Scrumpy. If you live in Scotland it now costs a minimum of £5.28 for four 440ml cans of the stuff, whether that be Lidl’s own brand or the ‘original’. Some wee ‘locals’ sell four ‘pint’ cans for £6.00 but others (and I can discern no logical reason here) will charge £7.50, even £8.00 for 440ml *OR* pint cans.

    Huh?

    The same four 440ml cans can be bought in Carlisle, Newcastle, Gretna, for less than half that price. Lidl, for example, sell their own ‘version of Scrumpy (which is, for me anyway, every bit as appley and pleasant as the ‘original’) for £2.48. (Well, they did last time I shopped down there.)

    Like I said, it’s just a personal thing maybe. More important to all of us is the price of fuel, interest rates etc, aye. That’s understood. But what other products are subjected to this kind of state-sanctioned surcharge?

    (I suspect this is a topic which Oor Ain Lenny Hartley may have something to say about!- Island prices? God bless us and save us and soap us and shave us when you only have the one-star Spar!)

    I don’t know why Ewan ever said it was reconvening of the old Scottish parliament – that was a lie & not what Scots had voted for on the ballot paper. The only thing asked was did we want devolution of certain powers & Westminster (obviously watering down the importance to Scotland & what they’d voted on previously) offered it to everyone else too, Wales, NI.

    Personally I do not think you could do any better than using their own boasts of history against them,
    Maintaining the treaty of union to hold Scotland is one of their biggest fears, the thought that Scotland could slip through their fingers because they had not shawed up all the details way back in 1707 fills them with horror.

    When the House of Lords brings up the subject of wether there is actually a treaty of union between Scotland and England in 1960s themselves, without a Scot in the room,

    Just been reading a staff toolkit handed out in every classroom in a West of Scotland secondary school last week. And I quote verbatim

    ” Be understanding if a pupil asks you to use another name to make them feel comfortable ”

    ” if you make a mistake about a pupils name or pronouns just apologise and correct yourself ”

    And then, here’s the absolute pearl –

    ” check when and where the pupil is comfortable with you using the names/ pronouns they have requested – ( Can you use the new name / pronoun in front of other pupils, other staff, parents?) ”

    Now I don’t know about other folks, or parents, but encouraging secret one on one, teacher on pupil names is a sure fire recipe for disaster. A name that only the pupil and teacher know is an absolute aide to inappropriate relationships and grooming.

    But that is exactly what is in the guidance toolkit. That is what teachers are being told to do. Its a groomers charter.

    Keeping secrets from parents, from other teachers is a dark dark road to go down.

    Moreover in this torrent of Scottish Government guidance, and let us remember it is being applied to children in pre-school nursery, to primary school, to secondary school children of different ages, different capacities, and different vulnerabilities.

    What if the coaching, the encouragement to develop in secret from the parents occasions a child to adopt an alternative gender orientation, and then at sixteen a self certify gender certificate, and then maybe irreversible physical changes like hormone treatment but then as an adult decide that it was all wrong and a mistake. Who will they sue for encouraging them to go down the road they did. The school, the teacher. it’s just another facet of the lunacy now extant in our schools.

    Or the sex change mixed up male child at sixteen changing gender through self certify and demanding to share the girls changing rooms etc etc.

    Or the fifteen year old boy wanting to share the toilets with a fourteen year old menstruating girl.

    Or what of the SG advice that police and teachers are to keep secret any discovered sexual relationships down to the age of eleven when there is no sign of abuse. But of course in a survey last year the same Scottish Government asked every pupil over 14 years of age about their anal sex habits.

    And all this stuff is to be kept a secret. Well I for one think this only the start of what is going to become a tidal wave of demand for sanity.

    I for one, like many many others do not want my child, my grandson exposed to this perversion and for it to b e kept a secret. And I’ll tell you something else the scum bags who forced this are going to have a day of reckoning.

    Very good independence case from Wales that gets the BBCUnionists in a spin.

    Once upon a time I would have agreed with you Effijy.

    However these days I feel the mere mention of a referendum is synonymous with someone “not” grasping the full importance of Scotland’s sovereign constitution. We Scots are much too quick to “forfeit” Scotland’s constitutional strength when in reality, it should be Westminster who is continually tripped up and having it’s plans continually frustrated by Scottish constitutional “backstops”.

    Once that is understood, it becomes impossible to trust the competence and commitment of Scotland’s political elite. This isn’t any “government” of Scotland, it is a cheap soap opera with even cheaper actors.

    After Brexit, Northern Ireland was able to construct the Northern Irish Backstop which halted Brexit in it’s tracks for the simple reason that a Border created as a consequence of Brexit was a direct violation of an International Peace Treaty; the Good Friday Agreement. One line in a treaty was all it took to check Westminster’s reckless misadventure and disregard for it’s own obligations. I congratulate Northern Ireland, and their backstop, which has since evolved into the Northern Irish Protocol, which is still defending their interests.

    What is risible however, is that for the same Brexit, Scotland was in a ten times stronger position than Northern Ireland to create a Scottish Constitutional Backstop based upon the Claim of Right; the emphatically declared will of the Sovereign people supported by the Claim of Right recognised in both in Westminster and Westminster’s colonial Scotland Act.

    We had a stronger defence than Northern Ireland, and Independence was our prize, but Sturgeon the cowardly imbecile did NOTHING to protect Scotland from Brexit, but instead capitulated to Brexit, and presented the World with the grotesque spectacle of a Scottish sovereign Constitution which apparently meant nothing to Scotland’s elected “Government”.

    Sturgeon is a despicable ("Tractor" - Ed) as vile to Scotland as Benedict Arnold is to America, and together with her SNP flunkies, they have sold Scotland out, and doomed Scotland to a future trapped inside this dreadful Union which, until Sturgeons grotesque betrayal, was a voluntary Union we could choose to end.

    Scotland was cursed by a parcel o’ rogues in 1707, and we’ve cursed again in 2016, but sadly, the vast majority of Scots are supine sheep who lack the wits to see it.

    People think I’m “radical” because I demand the impeachment of Sturgeon and indeed Holyrood. That is not radical. That is merely a vital necessity if Scotland means to rescue it’s Sovereign integrity from the desperate jeopardy which the idiot Sturgeon has put it in.

    It is “twice” not radical, because Sturgeon would be lucky to be merely impeached for her treason against the Claim of Right. Scotland wasn’t always so soft on ("Tractor" - Ed)s for “… the foulness of their perjury, the foulness of their broken faith.”

    s-executed-at-edinburgh/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.kingjames1ofscotland.co.uk/publications/the-first-("Tractor" - Ed)s-executed-at-edinburgh/

    The ONLY saving grace for Scotland is that Scotland’s Claim of Right has stronger provenance and longevity than any passing ("Tractor" - Ed), and Sturgeon’s ultra vires capitulation of Scotland’s Claim of Right demeans only Sturgeon as a fraud and Holyrood as a Vichy assembly. It does not undo the potency or legitimacy of the Claim of Right, which can yet be resurrected.

    I’m pretty rubbish at writing so I don’t know if I’m going to be able to explain very well what I think about Sturgeon and why Alex Salmond didn’t recognise her flaws and why when Salmond resigned things changed dramatically but I’ll give it a try.

    Sturgeon to me is just an empty vessel, no great passion, no independent thoughts, a follower, someone who would fit perfectly into a cult. There is probably a term for someone like that but I don’t know what it is so I’m going with empty vessel.

    When she was Salmond’s deputy she just became a Salmond mini-me. She was the perfect little deputy. Salmond would have been very flattered by this and thought she’s a woman after my own heart. He didn’t recognise that she was just an empty vessel following his lead

    All was fine when Salmond was her ‘leader’ but when he resigned things changed.
    She could have gone on seeking advice & guidance from Salmond but unfortunately Salmond suggested having her husband as CEO was a very bad idea. OMG! He wasn’t going to get away with that!

    That is when she & her CEO husband decided to cut all ties with that @#$%&! Salmond and not let him get away with saying such a thing.

    Now here she is this ’empty vessel’ who is the leader but desperately in need of a leader herself. The question is who did she turn to? Was it her CEO husband or was it someone else? Who is her Rasp*tin?

    Who wanted revenge on Salmond? My number one suspect would be Peter Murrell.
    How dare that @#$%&! Salmond suggest he be put out of a job?
    Others would join him because of some grievance with Salmond.

    If you have someone who is an ’empty vessel’ then it’s pretty easy to take advantage.
    Fill her head with whatever you like and suddenly she is a strong supporter of your cause.

    Why was she such a strong supporter of MeToo? Short of an idea or influenced to believe it was a way to get revenge on that @#$%&! Salmond?

    Why is she such a strong supporter of self-id. Is this because she is an ’empty vessel’ with no ideas of her own so she needs to look else where for ideas? Did she see Canada and various other countries adopting self-id so she decides oh great that can be my new idea or did her Rasp*tin see it as a way to ensure his journey on the gravy train continued?
    Is her Rasp*tin transgender?

    Why is she so useless with the cause of independence? Is that because nobody is showing her the way? Are all her ‘advisors’ more than happy on the gravy train?

    James Che;

    The Scottish Parliament of 1707 ratified the Treaty of Union. They did so by passing an Act, the ‘Act of Union With England 1707’. If you are going to claim that the subsequent cessation of that Parliament then invalidated that Act, then it must have invalidated every Act it has ever passed. If it killed only the Act of Union, you must explain specifically how only that Act died but left the rest intact.

    You might also wish to explain why the same thing didn’t happen when the English Parliament ceased to exist in 1707, when both it and the old Scottish Parliament were replaced by the new Parliament of Great Britain.

    The UK Parliament sets great store these days by its English Act of Union, far more than it does the Treaty which is the true foundation of both the UK and its Parliament. Any discussion around the origin of the Union in England always revolves around the English Act of Union, and the Treaty is never mentioned as having any relevance if it is even mentioned in the first place. You may not be aware how that came about.

    Westminster’s obsession with the English Act of Union stems from AV Dicey’s scam in the mid-19th century, when he claimed that the two acts of ratification of the Treaty basically replaced the Treaty of Union with the Acts of Union, rendering the Treaty itself defunct as having completed its purpose, and that it is the Acts of Union that confer the authority of the Union to Westminster. But the Scottish Parliament ceased to exist so Dicey claimed the Scottish Act of Union was orphaned and irrelevant, as no body now exists with any authority to enforce it. He also claimed that the old English Parliament did not cease to exist as the Scottish one did, it only renamed itself as the new Parliament of Great Britain.

    This was his aim; of the three founding documents of the United Kingdom and its UK Parliament, two are now defunct; the Treaty itself and the Scottish Act of Union. Only one is still in force; the English Act of Union, and, lo and behold, Westminster can allegedly claim it as its own Act, and as such it has authority to amend it entirely unilaterally, should it ever choose to do so. Oh, and Westminster owns the unlimited sovereignty of England’s old Parliament too, but now that extends to Scotland as well.

    The English establishment lapped it up! The fact that it was and still is self-serving bollocks was gleefully ignored, and it was accepted as Westminster and English establishment canon. What the Scots thought of this was never considered, and in fact still isn’t.

    It’s children as young as 4 yrs old.They can tell the teacher thier new name & keep it a secret from thier parents,

    4 years old!!!

    It beggars belief. It’s grooming.
    Encouraging secrecy & sexualising children would normally get someone arrested, red flags popping off everywhere & yer name on a register.

    Not in Sturgeons woo woo world.

    The Scottish government is going to be knee deep in compo when this goes tits up & it’s a certainly it will. How can you even put a price on that?

    Holyrood has the Scotland Act. A set of rules to abide by.

    Did the empire approve any of thier parliament’s? Yes.
    They sent in *diplomats* to enforce compliance. See Ireland, India, China, Falklands etc.

    Ruby,

    Narcissistic psychopath is what Sturgeon is. The great trick of a narcissist is to be a ‘mini me’ to thier mentor to obtain what they have. Once they have it captured they despise. Thier next trick is to employ flying monkeys – this gets everyone to despise their victim too. It’s no fluke Sturgeon has a cult following quick to cast out the unbelievers as heathens.

    Psychopath – because she is void of empathy, amoral, power tripping & are secretive barstewards. They get off on winning. They can’t stand losing.

    & A bandwagon junkie. Thier mentor is gone & they have no ideas of thier own.

    Maybe but I still like the imagery of an ’empty vessel’?

    Perhaps a more modern description would be of a robot waiting to be programmed.

    Perhaps the narcissistic psychopath is her programmer. Her Rasp*tin.

    I will admit my thinking is very ‘creative’ I would be much better at fiction than fact.

    My latest thought is whether Sturgeon is an abused woman or not.
    I hear you saying WTF!

    In my fictional story she would be an abused woman.
    I’m thinking along the lines of how abusers isolate their victims from all friends, family and anyone who might influence her.

    Was it necessary to isolate Sturgeon from her lifetime friend & mentor Salmond?

    All that was very strange don’t you think?

    @ruby I dont believe she was an abused woman but I do think she was probably sidelined at school, rejected as a weirdo.

    If that happened around puberty time, she’s getting her revenge.
    It’s why she hates successful strong women and men.
    She only likes weak people who were probably like her during their teens, sidelined, different, avoided.

    This can only happen because it suits the agenda of poweful people.

    Were they ever really friends or was that contrived rubbish for the media? SNP used to always show a united front.

    He described her as not leadership material.
    She describes him as an ego trip who was reckless & shouldn’t be in politics (bit of projecting going on there!)

    No WTF from me at her possibly being abused.

    I wonder if she’s even a woman.

    Too much? Lol

    Thinking about a state employee encouraging and keeping secret from the parents a pre-school or primary child’s desire to use another name or adopt another orientation creates a very real threat to the child, and may cause it to later regret the influence of the teacher who encouraged their whim.

    I wouldn’t like to be the teacher when in circumstances like this when parents find out.

    Conflict, potentially physical, aside of legal, is a real possibility. Fuck with my child bastard and I’ll fuck with you, might be the sentiment of some. Course, very course language that I use, but it is the language that might not become altogether unknown.

    Parental protection of children is one of the most basic instincts.

    And the politicians who introduced this. Well we have seen the hate expounded by some of these woke perverts. Most unpleasant. Thankfully restricted to internet threats as opposed to physical. But might be mild by comparison to relatives who have had a child damaged and hurt.

    At a local school near me a teacher apparently raised the issue of action being taken by parents against the school and teachers.

    And the response from management was it’s the law, a Scottish Government requirement. Tough hard ass formal words but we shall see. The school in particular proceeded to issue a toolkit to teachers about what had to be done – including instruction that if requested by the pupil, a teacher was to engage in one to one secret special name arrangements.

    I don’t. I apologise if it comes across like that.

    You’d think they’d have put together a toolkit on education & life skills rather than this nonsense of asking a teacher to play psychologist & keeper of secrets. What’s it to do with them? It will end in a thump. There were harrowing stories of mothers speaking out at women’s rights events doing the rounds on twitter whose daughter or son were brainwashed without thier knowledge or consent & it’d split families with the child either too far captured on the path to mutilation, drugs or taking thier own life. It beggars belief no one is listening & it’s just full steam ahead regardless..

    I’ll never forget Sturgeon UN right of the child Q&A where an Australian jurno was having none of her pish about Trans. I think it was 2018/9?? Where he questioned Sturgeon on England putting children into care if their parents didn’t agree to thier trans children or forcing them onto drugs despite evidence the majority of children growing out of it..he feared for his grandkids who lived in Scotland obviously he was referencing what we now know as Mermaids & Tavistock..

    As usual her arrogant dismissive attitude was on full display when he was stoic at her attempt at a joke regarding Irvine..

    Didn’t happen. Children know better. They don’t grow out of it. Next question. Move along!

    That was Sturgeon done for me. I took to Twitter asking WTAF & was taken aback by Indy support also dismiss it as never happened despite a flipping link lol. It’s like folks ears hear something entirely different..

    Anyhoo – the UN was recorded & will no doubt be in the vaults of YouTube should anyone care to watch it..

    The unionists clearly have dirt on Nicola, as I was told a few years ago, and have used it to lace her inner group with plants allowing the nonsense and waste of time the SNP policies have been (ferry, gender, offshore power, etc, etc).
    Watching fmq most of her appointees are barely capable of speaking without reading.
    The only solution is to out the dirt. One has to wonder why the unionists keep avoiding the open goal, but then it suits them for the now.
    Don’t fester on their stupidity, find the dirt and reverse the blackmail
