Fraser Hudghton
Fraser Hudghton@fraserihudghton·
The new guidance from @ELCouncil is dismal. They could find themselves in receipt of a legal challenge on very solid grounds. Of particular note: The pool of consultees they’ve used is shallow and familiar, even referencing the dreaded Hate Crime & Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021. How about that for the ultimate threat to worried parents. Ominously, TIE said @ELCouncil statement was “one of the best they have read”. They refer heavily to debunked and unlawful @scotgov 2021 guidance, seemingly ignoring the UKSC ruling. It appears to suggest children age 12-16 have a legal agency which they do not, including but not isolated to ensuring parents are not consulted or included in serious, potentially life altering decisions. Helpfully I suppose, I’m a parent in East Lothian with no plans to let this one sleep. Anyone else…? The statement & guidance went before ELC Education Ctte only last week, and is at foot of documents in link below 👇 eastlothian.gov.uk/meetings/meeti…

@DavidMcHutchon First pic is from school guidance, East Lothian in this case but could be anywhere, second is what the law actually says. Children are being permitted to change their sex on official school records and make all sorts of adult decisions without their parents knowledge or consent.

@msjlindsay How will she handle it when Muslim parents and preachers point out they’ll face criminalisation under the “conversion therapy” bill? In her amoebal brain, rights never conflict

She is - and I cannot be polite about this whatsoever - extremely stupid, both politically and as an orator. What a mess of both content and delivery. Bad enough in a poetry slam, unforgivable in a legislator.

SNP minister @kaukabstewart says that we shouldn’t ‘blanket ban’ men from women’s spaces. I thought @scotgov supported the decision of the Supreme Court? Perhaps I’ve been in a fever dream for the past year.

“So who is it that's not fit to be an MSP? The man who told a homophobic joke and immediately regretted it, apologised and attempted to make amends – or the man who is ignoring public opinion in order to criminalise parents who tell a mixed-up teenager that its ok to be gay?”

@fraserihudghton It’s going to be a criminal offence to say that it’s ok to be gay. The deceptive naming makes it appear the opposite.

@ForWomenScot I wonder if she ever reflects how “inclusive” her home country or the Pakistani community here is. Why don’t Muslims have to collapse their sex based boundaries?

Kaukab Stewart is dangerously stupid. Of course we "blanket ban" people from spaces - that is what single-sex means! Is she really trying to equate banning trans id men to banning white women?

@LucyHunterB “Objective” advice from TQ+ identified staffers wearing rainbow lanyards, members of staff networks, political activists in their spare time, mates with professional activists. The most senior officials telling them to “be kind and progressive” rather than “comply with the law”

This is one of the people who will have had the most intense briefing from publicly-funded officials in the civil service about the operation on the Equality Act.

The Minister for Equalities. Agonisingly and yet confidently out of her depth.

SEEN in Journalism@JournalismSEEN·
The ratio is well underway. What is a reporter or sub to do in this situation? You know it’s a man: the CPS, along with court officials, lie and say ‘woman’. First, and easiest, you can avoid all female pronouns, and neutralise the copy. Second, so long as you don’t misquote court proceedings, you can call him a man and use male pronouns. The fact that he’s a man was raised in court. It’s in the public domain. The case is over: he’s guilty. There’s no question of identification, or contempt. Ipso processes mean he’d have to make a complaint himself about ‘misgendering’ (or through a representative) for it to be considered. Ipso would then be in the position of potentially upholding a killer’s demand over reporter accuracy. Third, if it’s not raised in court, you are allowed to ask - is this a male, is it a crime recorded by a male, will he go to a female jail. After conviction, backgroundbpueces can contain all sorts of extra information. You don’t have to copy a captured justice system. A faithful report of proceedings is not always accurate.

Aurin Makepeace was found guilty of killing her ex-partner Steven Rothwell and leaving him in his flat in Macclesfield. She rang the police from her home in Wales several hours later and claimed she was still with him. Read more here: orlo.uk/Q7824

I don't recall John Swinney getting his knickers in a twist when the well known SNP supporter Janey Godley said: "Why do black people have funny looking noses?" "Jews have big noses for one reason and one reason only. The air is free"

The Royals can't seem to go a wk without a scandal. This time, it's international ginger of mystery, Fergie. Despite being in hiding, she still manages to hit the headlines for claiming the late QE communicates with her via the Corgis! youtu.be/8UMhhy0e9j4

A risk this shifts floating Scotwind developments further into the future as European OEM backlog can’t fulfil demand. Combined with challenging ARs for Scottish fixed bottom and another energy crisis it’s not looking good. Before we even get to lost Highland jobs.
Ewan Gibbs@ewangibbs

The wildest thing about the UK government blocking a large Chinese owned wind turbine factory in the Highlands is that it’ll mean importing wind turbines from China instead of making them here!
