Stepping back and letting them make the decision.

If your safeguard is a risk assessment you have to let it happen. 

It also didn't help accusing Dryden of lying about changing gender - that played right into the hands of those who opposed the bill.

Couldn't have put it better

Common sense has gone out of the window with this on both sides imo, I think it's reasonable for somebody charged with double rape who has shown no sign of gender dysphoria before and suddenly starts wearing a wig and a pink anorak when they're about to go to trial not to automatically be given benefit of the doubt.

That's not the point though is it? If you suggest that the safeguard to ensure the safety of others in especially high risk scenarios, and the appropriate placement of prisoners, is that there will be a risk assessment, you cannot override that, before it has even happened, on a whim because an ex-screw is mouthing off in the press and you keep getting asked about it. You either show that you have robust policies to deal with outlying cases, based around expert judgement and established parameters, or you show you have a policy which is made of vapour.

I'd think this bit of the new GRR bill might exclude someone's application if they only applied for it after being arrested for a double rape.

Ooh audience participation tonight.

Orange jacket watch has begun.

Hey Humza, I recycle all my bottles through the council's kerbside recycling, how would I get my money back?

If the risk assessment was that there would be no risk by putting a double rapist in a woman's prison before they were fully assessed, as they would be kept in solitary confinement, why couldn't they have been safely put in solitary in a men's prison until a decision was made? I just find the decision made and the coincident timing of it hard to understand. It's not like they have hunners of cases to deal with, just two last year I believe. The Justice system isn't a perfect insular world that doesn't need to pay attention to public perception.

The theme seems to be on multiple subjects that they're trying to do the right thing but they never manage to do the thing right. So lack of competency then.

Watching the debate a bit behind, but all empty platitudes from the three so far. Fix the NHS by diverting all the money to front line staff, presumably the nurses can handle running the payroll, laundry services, and building maintenance, while the doctors can order supplies and negotiate with the drug companies.

I disagreed with quite a lot of what  Salmond said and almost everything Sturgeon came out with but by f**k you could not argue with their ability to engage and communicate.

This choice of three - maybe as a result of having been formed under such strong personalities- really haven’t progressed much beyond the sixth form. Andrew Neil, and God forbid even Kuensberg, would wipe the floor with any of them inside 5 minutes.

Maybe not the right thread, but I wonder if those bumping their gums about all the problems in Scotland would prefer to live in Sunak’s England or Starmer’s England.

Whataboutery.

Imagining the type of guy who goes to a SNP leadership debate and complains that they want to break up the UK and nothing they say could persuade him to vote for them.

Strange man.

Strange man.

There's something to be said for a debate of prospective leaders being held in front of a wider audience than SNP members alone, but an audience chosen by the BBC was always going to be ridiculous.

I suspect he applied for Question Time and got offered this instead. 

I'm sure someone will buy him a pint for it down the golf club.

Regan the only one actually speaking to the electorate that will actually choose the SNP leader. Staggering how little Forbes manages to mention independence- its almost quite admirable.
