My MSP has blocked me on Twitter.

Because I told her she should hang her head in shame for voting for GRA.
I didn't swear, wasn't aggressive or said anything inflammatory. Just that she should be ashamed of herself.
Touched a nerve Christina?
Btw, this is the same MSP who phoned the police over some stickers at her office 🙄

Joe Fitzpatrick of the SNP is pre-emptively blocking members of the electorate on Twitter using block lists.

Loads of women are reporting that they haven't interacted with him on Twitter (or anywhere else) but are still blocked. Loads of women who leafleted and chapped doors for the SNP are pre-emptively blocked.

Loads of women are blocked by Nicola Sturgeon on Twitter. Our nation's leader. Again, many have had no interaction with her at all.

It doesn't matter if you're polite, rude or have never even heard of them. If you're guilty of 'wrongthink', an avenue to communicate with your elected representative is denied to you in Scotland.

She can't even agree to differ with OP though . She's in the wrong career. Nemesis follows hubris - sometimes at the ballot box.

Also women are not permitted to be angry. We must smile politely as we explain why we don't want our rights stripped away, piece by piece.

Ah, sorry, OP, disagreement is now classed as abuse, did they not tell you?

Please highlight the abusive words I used.

Hmmm - not sure that hang your head in shame is exactly constructive?

"I am disappointed that you voted for xxx because [explanation]" would have been better and probably not got you blocked.

You know that's bollocks too. Anything other than complete capitulation to the kool aid mantra means you must be a terf so outer darkness for you.

Put in a formal complaint to the snp that she is blocking her own constituents from contacting her. And to your mp. Etc. We must start complaining about due process everywhere we can. Try to be pro safeguarding and positive about trans, negative about men who use loopholes if you want to be listened to.

I'd block you if I were that MSP. Not enough hours in the day for abuse. A more constructive msg like @jtaeapa suggests would have been better.

Agree with all you say, @ArabellaScott

Honestly the absolute embarrassment of half of the MSPs. Not answering comms from constituents; berating, sneering and patronising when they do respond. Arrogant dimwits, many of them. Fine if they don't agree, but the conduct of some of these people has been utterly outrageous and a real let down of the Scottish political system overall.

They don't seem to understand or be willing to accept the whole job of a Minister; to represent their constituents and at the very fucking least treat them with respect despite political differences.

They've made a fucking mockery of devolution. They ought to be bloody ashamed of themselves.
