CeratopsofthePharoahs · 28/12/2022 09:47

Signed.

Tartan Taliban has me chuckling.

Cismyfatarse · 28/12/2022 08:59

Sorry @ArabellaScott I didn't know there were 2 useful ways of protesting loudly at our rights being removed. Will sign.

Incidentally, anyone on Twitter might enjoy the hashtag #ScottishNonceParty which has gone strong for days.

GCtemp · 28/12/2022 08:26

Signed and bumping. That map is really heartening to see.

Whereareyourshoes · 28/12/2022 07:20

7,385 signatures this morning and still going up.

If anyone else would like to sign… ⬇️

I honestly thought the Scottish Parliament would put restrictions on sex offenders being able to obtain GRCs rather than making it easier for them. Am devastated our MSPs care so little for women and children.

It's strange that those women at the very top are so angry when they have a government that self-identifies as being the most morally superior of the whole isles.

This is so true. And most concerning!!

Surprised there isn’t more awareness in Wales, given the latest ‘indoctrinate your 3 year olds’ approach

😍Ma auld hame toon is on fire! Proud! Miss it! Don't miss the SNP!

EndlessTea · 28/12/2022 01:49

I find that map very moving OP

FrancescaContini · 28/12/2022 01:25

Fascinating to see this, thank you. I love the fact that red is associated with anger, very appropriate 😡

Boiledbeetle · 28/12/2022 00:28

Only 7 more constituencies to go before 100% coverage.

I feel I may be to invested, but I don't usually see petition numbers go up every time I look

Boiledbeetle · 28/12/2022 00:24

Ooh well done to the 2 people in Sefton Cental, taking you from 0 at my last check.

Right - going to do a bit of terfing tomorrow morning with the dog walkers and get the signatures up in my area.

You know if suddenly there are 20 signatures in Tamworth tomorrow we'll know where you walk your dog! Tell them to space them out over the next few days.

That's a different one. This one is Update the Equality Act.

Show quote history

the one in my OP is 'Repeal the GRA'.

'Update the EA' is a more evenly distributed ragey-red colour. 😊

Disappointed to see my mum's pal who is a MSP on the list of those who voted to reject the amendment re sex offenders.

A quick squizz on her Twitter and I see she was told to 'fuck off Tartan Taliban' so that cheered me up at least.

Whereareyourshoes · 27/12/2022 23:02

Thank you - appreciate the reminder that we are not alone in being so bloody angry.

Boiledbeetle · 27/12/2022 22:50

So there's at least one pissed off person in nearly every voting constituency in the whole country.

Boiledbeetle · 27/12/2022 22:47

I've just been for a zoom around the map. I know it's still a relatively small amount of people that have signed, although every time i click the numbers seems to be climbing, but there are hardly any areas ANYWHERE that currently have 0 signatures.

Where's the petition?

OlleOskiFelle · 27/12/2022 22:30

Oof, I'm in A & B too and I'm furious, glad to see so many others are.

Boiledbeetle · 27/12/2022 22:29

Sorry I'm not insulting areas of Scotland, just that kin the original that yellow block really looked like a tongue.

I'm Scottish myself , family originally from the tongue area ish
