tamthebam Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 David Mundell and Joanna Cherry are p***ks. Deidre Brock and Tommy Sheppard aren't. Seems legit. But Ian Murray isn't a p***k either. I beg to differ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Anyone on TV interviewing a politician seems to follow the Andrew Marr style of questioning. 1. Ask a question. 2. Wait briefly for shite, deflected answer. 3. Ask same question but louder and over the top of interviewee talking. 4. Move onto next question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The only decent interview I've seen in the last couple of years was Richard fucking Madeley of all people simply cut off some Tory welt who kept evading a question. Brilliant stuff. Oh and I completely forget the interviewer's name but Kez Dugdale was interviewed in the run up to the last Holyrood election. He ripped her up for arsepaper to such an extent I almost felt sorry for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dugdale always came across as shockingly weak even when delivering speeches, so a group of inquisitive children could have torn her to pieces. Still stunned that they made her leader in Scotland. Surely to f**k somebody could have taken her aside at some point and said, "look, I know you've got your heart set on this, but politics really isn't for you". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Today is a sad day my friend has told me she doesn't feel safe in Scotland. I have spent the day absolutely fuming at these shitty amendments, why Scotland can't just leaving the Transphobes behind just as I presume we left the Homophobes behind. Instead they are running the show I cant vote for anyone who backs this so as it stands I will have to spoil both my ballots come May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been following it closely but Liam Kerr is a Tory and his amendment is not supported by the Government and won't pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't know how an elected official can have the views he has. I still think Humzas amendments is ridiculous, why protect those critical of Trans identity issues. I don't know how you could be critical of their identity without being abusive. 89% of Trans people have had suicidal thoughts we should be doing everything we can to make it clear abusing Trans people is not on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been following it, but why they thought this would be a good time to argue out a hate crime bill and exceptions to it is beyond me. Making it illegal to say what you believe is a fucking minefield, even when it can be justified on harm caused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Trans so I'm not going to speak for them but I can imagine in a country where you already have a vast majority of Trans people being verbally assaulted and over a third physically assaulted that a bill that removed protection from Trans identity it will add to the hostile feeling that is already wide spread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistically, in actual reality, your friend is at least if not more safe here than any other country in the world. Assuming she is trans, and even if she's not. Those are just the facts of the matter. So if she doesn't feel safe here, she's an idiot. That's just the way it is, if it sounds impolite that's cause there's no other way to put it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's your contention that there are only 120 trans folk in Scotland? There were 41 charges reported in 2019-20 with an aggravation of transgender identity, compared to 40 in 2018-19. https://www.copfs.gov.uk/media-site-news-from-copfs/1887-hate-crime-in-scotland-2019-20 Trans folk are still in a protected group, that's unchanged. https://beta.parliament.scot/bills-and-laws/bills/hate-crime-and-public-order-scotland-bill 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
