Quite extraordinary rant. In response to the 'GetTheLOut' protest at LondonPride.

Children's Convenor. I kid you not.

How dreadful

Hombre · 11/08/2018 13:56

Seems like he's quite the fan of online abuse:

I'd like to see him sue for being called homophobic

'I'm not, honest mlud, I just think exclusive same sex attraction is morally wrong, is all'

It will be interesting to hear the response from Dundee City Councillors following today's reporting in national press.

It'll interesting to hear their response after tomorrow's reporting in the Sunday press.

If you're reading, you entitled, homophobic, misogynistic no-mark, I hope you never hold elected office again.

Everyone should refuse to talk to him. He is loving this.

MaidOfStars · 11/08/2018 12:21

He’s resigned from committee duties, not as a councillor.

How do these angry people born with penises (trying to avoid a strike for calling a cock a cock) get access to children and education so easily?

The culture of fear over speaking out and being branded transphobic is why. It prevents huge, powerful organisations from protecting women and children and therefore complicit in the lowering/removal of safeguarding.

Charlie I don't think councillors can be sacked because they're elected. They can be taken off committees and they can be expelled by their party but once elected they can usually cling onto their seat. Except maybe in cases of bankruptcy or criminal convictions, although they'd usually resign first.

I can imagine their lesson plans.

'Start the session with a jolly welcome along the lines of 'Hello children. Those of you with vaginas are cunts, please leave as you are not worth educating. Now for the big brave boys, lets talk science, Dundee style'.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 11/08/2018 11:46

Weird how these people, with issues, seem to gravitate to the ones where they have some influence on/access to children.

Just very very odd that.

Cartertheunstoppablesexmachine · 11/08/2018 11:45

And given their understanding of male and female biology, not exactly a wise choice to represent a scientific organisation.

Jeez, this just gets more Shock by the minute.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 11/08/2018 11:39

He is also a director of the Dundee Science Centre.

Bearing in mind he thinks girls are cunts, should this person really be a director of a science centre?

10/8/18 Cllr Gregor Murray twitter comment:

"This year has not been easy for me, and it is with a heavy heart that I am going to have to take a step back from frontline politics."

Fucking bump. This person's dished it out himself.

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 11:27

The refraining of this story is unbelievable

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 11:25

This is BBC Scotland-Trans-SNP kozee korner time

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 11:23

Being as how the BBC is portraying him as a victim, I think they'll feel let off the hook

R0wantrees · 11/08/2018 11:18

It will be interesting to hear the response from Dundee City Councillors following today's reporting in national press.

I'm sure there will be comments and perhaps actions.

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 11:07

He should have been fired -, not just allowed to resign

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 10:49

Abusing women then pretending to be the victim is such an MRA tactic

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 10:48

Bump

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 10:46

I'm shocked at how brazen it is

Charliethefeminist · 11/08/2018 10:45

It's an absolute scandal it's being reported like this
