What happened to Sandie Peggie was a disgrace. Her harassment has been enabled by a warped NHS culture and fostered by a Scottish Government that refused to listen to women’s concerns. It allowed the ideology of a small group of unrepresentative activists spread like wildfire through our institutions.
Those in NHS Fife who played any part in this must be accountable and I struggle to see how they stay in post. They have wasted masses of NHS money on their trans rights crusade.
Enough is enough.

@iqbalmohamedMP @bencsmoke No colour of c!s men should be pretending women are in danger from trans women rather than c!s men, so maybe shush
English
@bencsmoke False equivalence. White or brown men shouldn't be telling/forcing biological women to give up their rights and private spaces to other biological men - black, white, brown or trans.

oh no, they lost the transphobic landlord, how ever will the project continue…

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to step out of the steering process for Your Party. I wish those who continue to work on this endeavour the very best of luck and hope their hard work achieves the results they desire.

@sewingwithsteel @firewomon You're literally trying to shame people into agreeing with your bigoted ideology, and trying to shame a company into making your ideology its guiding principle, you absolute tosser
English
@firewomon I was a minimum wage shop worker too - for several years. I think speaking up was proportionate. Do you want to see people shamed into accepting an ideology they disagree with? Do you want to see people afraid to admit they know what a woman is? Do you want to go back to 2020?

@Hobbycraft apparently bars GC people from its shops. I was in the #Dundee store with my partner today.
Staff member wore a badge reading ‘no terfs no tories’ as part of her uniform.
We confronted the badge.
We got chucked out for doing so.

@KevinASchofield How are you so bad at your job that you don't know about calls for a Israel to be treated like apartheid South Africa

Next UEFA must ban all Israeli teams. We cannot have normalisation with genocide and apartheid.

We asked the First Minister if he wanted to apologise over this, after upset from the organisers of a vigil to mark the Manchester synagogue attack bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@CalumA_Steele Unsure if you didn't follow the trial or if you just agree with Glinner, but I have suspicions
English
The decline in police standards has been slow but steady and the service is a long way from sorting itself out as the arrest of Graham Linehan @Glinner over tweets shows. Some of my thoughts on recent failures in today’s @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/politics/holyr…

@CalumA_Steele Have you considered that comedians can also break the law

@Warren97418412 @AdnanHussainMP Adnan thinks trans people have fewer rights than everyone else, I'm afraid

@Keir_Starmer What the actual fuck is wrong with you, you racist blobfish
English
If you’re thinking about coming to the UK illegally — don’t.
You will face detention and return.
English
@Keir_Starmer I hope the other countries deport all their British criminals back here, you racist tosspot
English
If you come to this country and commit a crime, you don’t get to stay here.
You will face deportation at the earliest opportunity.

@NoShirleyNo He wrote about the Holocaust so badly that the Holocaust Memorial Museum criticised him, and he put a recipe from a computer game into a novel because his research is so bad. But okay??

Besides which Boyne is a fantastic author. So you know .. fuck off
Jane, Empress of the Known Universe (not GP)🏳️🌈@blablafishcakes
I'm so glad all these blue-haired "be kind - but do EXACTLY as I say" sobbers are throwing their toys out of the pram about John Boyne being long-listed for the @PolariPrize and demanding that he be removed. Because they're going to find out that it is illegal to discriminate.
English
@joshpizpom @SUTRScotland @heraldscotland Fucking ridiculous you even printed this. Oh, the Israeli group was welcome five years ago but not now?! Outrageous hypocrisy, it's not like anything has changed in the past five years or that Israel is committing genocide or anything.
English
A pro-Israel group has accused @SUTRScotland of 'hypocrisy' after being barred from participating in anti-racist marches.
In 2020, SUTR's convenor said the organisation "never has, and never will, have a position on the Middle East."

@holyroodmandy I assume this points out that the Supreme Court ruling only applies under the Equality Act and the follow up guidelines aren't law, so we should all continue to welcome trans people in our spaces

“The law is the law is the law – and no one should be waiting for a go-to guide on how to operate within it.” Me on the ongoing fallout from the Supreme Court judgment on what is a woman and the manufactured toilet drama! holyrood.com/editors-column…

@BBCRosAtkins Really disappointing you got Unwin on to talk about this as a supposed neutral,and as for letting Morgan talk about it...
Looking forward to sex checks by the BBC before they'll refer to anyone in the third person though. Sounds super common sense and practical.
