Can't say I'm surprised to see him coming across like the sly wee dishonest p***k that he is. Didn't know anything about Wightman until I started frequently posting here but you really have to feel sorry for him, seems like a man of integrity that's been thrown to the wolves. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 At least Wightman has the integrity to bail from a party that is clearly at odds with his personal beliefs. I mean, I'm generally in favour of parties permitting variance wherever and whenever possible, but when it's something pretty fundamental and a stated policy of the party itself, I don't know why you would plod on causing nothing but strife for both yourself and the party. Fine, it's sad that you should feel forced out of what you may well genuinely believe is your political home, but when it's clear that you are diametrically opposed to the party line and the party is not, at any point, likely to do a complete 180 and start seeing things from your perspective? Difficult to gauge where headstrong surety stops, and cynical troughing becomes the prime motivation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is hysterical nonsense. The Scottish "greens" appear not to give two hoots for the environment....otherwise they wouldn't be forcing out folk like Andy Wightman. Scottish politics has lost one of its most capable and free thinking minds. Someone who has shown willing to take on the rich and powerful who have f@cked this country over for generations. Another casualty of the small clique of identity warriors that has infested the left of Scottish politics......and the wider independence movement in the last few years. Must admit, I find it amazing how this trans issue continues to cause absolutely no problems at UK govt level, yet has caused havoc in our independence movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He blogs about how there was no real difference between using the words sex and gender but then he got so worked up about it he lost his seat in parliament. Just completely lost his mind. That's a huge oversimplification of exactly what went on. He made the point about 'no real difference' with regard to their use in a singular piece of legislation, as the intent behind the use of either was clearly the same thing. SGP then hit the roof when he indicated that he was leaning toward voting for JL's amendment to permit victims of sex crimes to be able to specify they wanted to be examined by a professional of their own sex. The SGP's issue with this wasn't the policy in itself, it's the fact the word 'sex' was used and not 'gender', so they informed Wightman that his support for the amendment was inherently transphobic, and he'd be binned from the party if he supported it. Utter lunacy on the part of the SGP. Wightman has acted with complete integrity, no matter what you personally might believe about the issue of 'sex v gender'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Piers - "Ok Mr Greer, tell us why Sir Winston Churchill was a white supremacist mass-murderer" Greer does exactly that Piers - "You've just given a totally unbalanced view ignoring all the positives" Yes Piers, because the first thing someone is going to do when you challenge them to explain why someone was a racist psychopath, is immediately start rattling off all their plus points. Fucking cretin that man is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Think Andy Wightman’s ego took a significant hit at the election when he realised most people who voted for him previously were voting for the party, not him. I think most politicians get their feelings hurt by this. They get trapped in the bubble and overestimate their own importance when 95% could be replaced tomorrow and most people wouldn’t notice or care.

welshbairn Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) The collective insanity on both extremes of the trans rights issue that affects a tiny group of people is something to behold, and will destroy a few more promising political careers before everyone comes to their senses.. To think it all started with kids on 4chan trying to explode libtard feminazi's heads by pretending to be trans lesbians and saying if they didn't shag them they were bigots.

The UN has been predicting disaster for over 60 years. About 20 years ago, they predicted the Maldives would be underwater in 10 - today they’re building new hotels. They said the glaciers, the Great Barrier Reef would be gone - they’re still here. They said polar bears would be gone - they’re not. Thats just for starters! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
