@overlandertheb1 A stunning shade of blue!

[Steve Hall @ProfHall1955]

@smudge23801 Don't kid yourself. The 1933 - 1980 period in the West was just a brief blip of respite in a fundamentally corrupt economic model that stretches back to 2400 BC.

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

@overlandertheb1 I no longer pay attention to the Scottish parliament. It seems to me that very little of substance is discussed there. Stuffed full of hand-picked cheerleaders and unserious ideologues.

[Frau Blüchar @FrauBluchar]

This clip from the @SP_Equalities meeting yesterday demonstrates clearly what is going wrong in @ScotParl. The politicians don't understand the law. But look at the Convenors final hand gesture to @MForstater - Wheesht! My advice to the Committee, try reading the FWS judgment. 🤷‍♀️

@GASPurves @MairiMcAllan Restore, restore!

[Mary MacCallum Sullivan @MacPsy]

@MaryHowden As a fellow-sufferer from that kind of face, I sympathise.😂

[Both sides of the Tweed @Dr_W_E_Bulmer]

@arisroussinos Turns out neurodivergence was a thing then, too - but for the poor it was suffered in silence, and for the upper classes it was charming eccentricity.

The three musketeers at committee today! Susan, @MaryHowden & @MForstater

All for One and One for All!

[Mary MacCallum Sullivan @MacPsy]

@ForWomenScot Susan Smith. Brilliant response, all the way through.

Devastating answer from Dr Hutchinson blowing up the bogus "Exorcism" nonsense from Stonewall.

There is no reliable evidence that conversion practices actually occur, and the real conversion is what happens at gender clinics.

[Mary MacCallum Sullivan @MacPsy]

@SVPhillimore I share this reaction.

[Holyrood @HolyroodDaily]

"If people have been told it's transphobia and hate to recognise what sex other people are, they're going to find it very difficult to move around in the world."

@MForstater of @SexMattersOrg gives evidence to the equalities committee.

Support Sid Perrie; support local democracy.
Stand against corporate bullying.

[Cllr Fiona Higgins @Fiona_Higgins_]

🔈Dear followers,

You’ve stood by me in my own Standards Commission case. Now I’m asking you to stand with Sid Perrie.

Sid, a lifelong member of the Balloch community and retired Biology teacher, spoke up about Flamingo Land because he cared about protecting Loch Lomond's natural environment and believed the public deserved answers.

He was suspended for six months after a hearing held while he was medically unfit to participate. He had no representative, and his requests to call witnesses & evidence were refused prior to the hearing.

He is now appealing to the Sheriff Court and needs help to fund his legal support.

I know personally that speaking up for the public must not become something only those who can afford a court battle dare to do. If it wasn't for a generous donor providing for my legal representation I'd have been forced through an unfair hearing with critical evidence refused as well as ALL witnesses. Sid is not wealthy. He is a pensioner on a fixed income. Other ordinary people will be watching what happens to Sid and weighing up whether raising concerns is worth the personal cost.

Please donate if you can - even small contributions add up to make a real difference - and share his fundraiser on your social media. Let’s get behind Sid and make sure his campaign is heard.

@SaveMHUK There is still resistance within UKCP, but we are not sanguine that we can protect dissent.

@ForWomenScot Equalities committee sees clashes over single-sex services https://t.co/jvzeCT4ztD

[Mary MacCallum Sullivan @MacPsy]

Brilliant response.

[Holyrood @HolyroodDaily]

"Men are afraid women will laugh at them - women are afraid men will kill them. It's not the same fear women experience when they think about their need for single-sex services."

Susan Smith of @ForWomenScot responds to a question from Green MSP Holly Bruce.

[Mary MacCallum Sullivan @MacPsy]

@SaveMHUK More regulation is not going to help.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

All the best people declare war on Hogwarts. Have you ever considered dividing your gender identity into separate pieces and storing it in hidden objects, so you can’t be invalidated to death?
