@Glinner He was political mist his entire time in Scottish politics, blowing out the latest fashionable racist dog whistle at every turn. Who could forget his “white” rant, to a country populated with circa 97% white. Graham his attack on the Dundee girls was appalling but not surprising
@Glinner Graham,
Your book Tough Crowd is a must read for anyone like me baffled by the madness of gender ideology.
Great to hear you are writing comedy again, your previous body of work is testament to your talents. I wish you every success in the US.

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.
In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.
For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.
It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

@AnasSarwar Mr Sarwar. I agree it is time for change in Scotland and a shift from the SNP separatist agenda and their atrocious governance.
Can I ask if Labour will roll back the SNP LBTT and income tax changes and realign them all with UK tax bands.
Thank you
@STVNews And he’s held a grudge ever since. News from a Glasgow landlord @patrickharvie , due to your meddling in the private rental market, I’ve hiked the rent on two properties, first increase in 3 years, a direct response to protect my business.
@BrechinYes2 UK 1st gas discovery UKCS, east Anglican 1965. 1st oil, the Forties, 1970. BP, UK not Scotland. Regardless great to see Sturgeon loves the oil & gas industry again, help fund her fantasy economics to Indy. Did she not declare at COP26, Cambo discovery must not be developed?
@murdo_fraser The problem is not the rent, it’s lack of housing stock. Harvie/Sturgeon driving through a ridiculous rent freeze policy, net result, landlords exiting the market, building projects on hold, homes, jobs. Landlords will increase rents, end of freeze to protect their investment
There has already been huge interest from the SNP in my @telegraph column today, with very much the tone and willingness to engage with the arguments that we have come to expect.
But for any cybernat who missed it, here is one more chance to read:

brave new world under SNP. Edinburgh Waverley tonight literally no trains anywhere. If you’ve arrived on the LNER for Kings X tonight at 21:09, there is not one immediate connection. Next and final train to Glasgow is 22:15 or it’s a taxi.
@thecoastguy Can she be called out on the disastrous Ferguson Marine ferries sorry mess. Four years late, no ferry, several hundred million over budget. Incredible the Scottish press are incapable of holding her feet to the fire.
@Jen4Scot@NicolaSturgeon FM when you’re done meeting superstars, get my city’s streets cleaned. Glasgow is turning into a rubbish dump under your watch.
@gdog2010_john @jhalcrojohnston@murdo_fraser One ferry yet to be completed, the other a rusting hull, both exist, both years behind schedule, the shipyard nationalised, Several hundred million pound liabilities to the tax payer. Meanwhile the western isles ferry services suffer. An utter debacle.
