The person in this video has been identified as Alexandria Adamson, who has been given a role within the SNP.

Adamson charged towards a GC woman, screaming "Witch!Witch! " at her, and was earlier seen to have been mumbling threats under their breath.

(Click on link to tweet below to see the video.)

A poor marginalised, terrified TRA cowering in fear at the Women's Rights Demo in Edinburgh this week..... sarcastic voice

Both sides? I think not.

I was at that rally. I was walking towards the event behind that person. They were on their own, muttering 'no more terfs' over and over. I don't want to fully condemn this person because they are clearly very unwell, and have been heavily influenced from somewhere, but at the same time this is absolutely not a safe person to be near. Never mind in government with.

The mind truly, truly boggles to think they hold any kind of public role. At this point, we are literally being trolled in real life. Where is the openness? The accountability? It's nonexistent in Scotland.

eek

What does that last sentence even mean? Confused

Also, the misogyny and gynephobia shine clear.

I don't understand why the English keep voting Tory but 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's hard to know what else to do apart from not vote for them. I mean, we could march in the streets but that does no good whatsoever, and without a viable opposition party in Scotland they've got absolute free rein to do whatever mad shit they want unfortunately.

Because the only real alternative to Tory is Labour/Libdem/Green coalition, all of whom would happily join hands with the SNP and leap aboard the crazy train.

They also loathe women, children, safeguarding, reality and common sense, and would gallop England at high speed to where the SNP are currently gibbering and seeking totalitarian, male supremacist, homophobic anti reality lunacy, while employing people who pour death threats out on social media to people they disagree with and scream 'witch' into the faces of women who have boundaries. No thank you. I really struggle to see why this is difficult to grasp.

What a charming individual.

A Scottish journalist working for the BBC was abused by SNP supporters yesterday. Why? For reporting on the Tory conference! Apparently, SNP supporters yelled “scumbag rat” and called him an ‘f-ing traitor’. A traitor!!!! What planet are these lunatics living on?

My dad is Scottish and my mum is English. I grew up in Essex. Presumably my dad is a f-ing traitor as well. After all, he’s collaborated with the enemy, hasn’t he? I guess they’d consider me half scumbag rat.

The sunshine is amazing with this one.

Chersfrozenface · 17/08/2022 13:53

According to the Scottish Daily Express website (yes, yes, but I don't know whether other media outlets will cover this) the SNP has suspended this person's membership after the Sunak tweet.

Not after vile behaviour towards women, you'll note. Also, I wonder when the suspension will be reversed.

This person should be nowhere near vulnerable people.
I'm glad i don't live in Scotland and I don't understand why the Scots are tolerating this kind of shite

Because they just think 'Independence!' and vote for them. It's so depressing. Most of my friends don't seem to know or care about the other issues. It's just Independence all the way. Fuck that.

There's a rally at Parliament on the 15th September

Surely the SNP should be made aware of this person’s atrocious behaviour. (I assume they don’t already know Hmm)

There's no way they don't know. They certainly do now.

They just hate women.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 17/08/2022 13:34

And this is why I won’t be lectured about how mean or unkind GC feminists are by TRA

A quick look at the baroness thread shows TRA lining up to tell us how utterly awful & homophobic she is & thereby extension how awful we are for agreeing with her that sex is immutable.

not once, not ever, do they see the inherent hypocrisy in their position. If the above is the case then TRA are happily on the side of a TW (man!) who screams witch directly in womens faces because guilt by association right?

PrimAndProperPearlClutcher · 17/08/2022 13:29

What does the role involve, does anyone know?

YourLipsMyLipsApocalypse · 17/08/2022 12:28

The SNP has truly truly lost it.

I'm a supporter of independence but not under this shower of shite. I quit my membership and stopped voting for them 2/3 years ago, and still watch what goes on in actual disbelief.

This with bells on!

ThistleDoo · 17/08/2022 13:25

Yikes. I watched that video with the sound off (at work) and it was like Vicky Pollard, Andy and Emily Howard from Little Britain had morphed into one terrifying entity.

How has he got a position after posting that sunak would be assassinated if he came to Scotland and Liz truss is to be put to death the bitch

is that not hate speech ?

It does strike me that TRAs are forgiven for writing things that, if they were a brown male, would get them arrested for terrorism.

WillNotWheesht · 17/08/2022 13:02

This actually makes
e sad as well as horrified, as I’ve seen that person on sm before and they are clearly very troubled as well as aggressive.

So I guess background checks aren’t a thing anymore?

WanOvaryKenobi · 17/08/2022 12:50

How can this be allowed?

I am a die-hard Indy supporter but this is unbelievable. They should never have been given the job, and the second that video was posted under that tweet they should have been removed. This is actually disgusting. This is institutionalised misogyny.

Artichokeleaves · 17/08/2022 12:44

Really at this point they might as well all be wearing Witchfinder hats and carrying matches.

This person's obvious unwellness and lack of balance/impartiality/basic political and religious intolerance has been all over social media. Eminently unsuitable for a post of public responsibility.
