SNP demo - 'decapitate t*rfs'

So it is doing the cause no favours? And yet everyone who was there didn’t take the signs from their hands and shove them in the bin. (the I EAT TERFS and DECAPITATE TERFS signs - there were probably more signs like these too)

The signs weren’t small. They were seen. And so to me that suggests that the folk it is doing ‘no favours to’ are accepting of the sentiment.

The only folk it is doing no favours to is women.

And no mealie mouthed statement is going to change that. Don’t say it caught attendees by surprise or that they didn’t know it was there or that this sort of thing is rare.

It didn’t.

They did.

It isn’t.

I will wait for the SNP to involve Police Scotland with regards to this hate speech and inciting violence. Because that is what it is.

Excellent tweet by JKR -

I wonder what the number of dodgy signs is gong to be once every part of the crowd the politicians walked through, stood with, looked towards etc had been checked.

Then let's see them pretend they never noticed a single Fucking one.

I've been thinking about this very carefully painted sign which obviously took some time and thought to do and the choice of the word 'decapitate'. It's not exactly the obvious choice for a placard is it? It's quite long, not very catchy, possibly tricky to spell, a very specific means of execution. Why not dash off a snappy 'Death to Terfs'? I think it's quite telling that it involves the severing of a woman's head from the body, the separation of the thinking, feeling part from the collection of flesh. What's left is a woman's torso with limbs. The more I think about it, I think it's quite a disturbing insight into the mind of the person who wrote it.

"This time it's placards
Next time it's not"

In. Plain. Sight.

Nope. I'm not having this.

THEY KNOW.THEY FUCKING KNOW AND THEY CAN FUCK OFF WITH THEIR PATHETIC EXCUSES.

they support the trans activists and support what they stand for. They stand for decapitating women. No ifs. No buts. These people support that sign. I, and the internet will never forget or forgive.

Well that's right out of the abusers handbook isn't it?

"You made me do it!"

India Willoughby? Vile man!

I wonder if it was wrong for any reason other than how it makes trans people look?

Christ, JKR has tweeted about the 'man' who threatened her, Rosie and Kellie Jay online, and India Willoughby has popped up with 'well you've pushed them to the end of their tether'!

And major media outlets continue to employ this deranged angry man?

Very good, @Boiledbeetle

A message to those that still don't get it

THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY?

Does this look right?
Everyone?
Can you see yet?
Are you still blind?
Perhaps you missed it?
It was there in plain sight
There were
A lot of signs
Telling each and
Every one of those politicians
That tried to deny the
Evidence
Right there!
FUCKING HELL
Seriously?

DECAPITATE TERFS??

WAKE UP

Thanks for the source correction!

Bit worrying that placards advocating guillotining politically inconvenient wimms is an international phenomenon!

Oh ok. I found it on another thread or maybe it was a Twitter link alongside the one being discussed - sorry!

This charming protest was directed towards Meghan Murphy when she was speaking about women’s rights in Toronto.

I don't understand your point. More people with probably more placards with more offensive threats to women who won't obey?

This is the second one.

Anyone who goes to these lengths to conceal their face surely knows they are up to something shady?

It's opportunism from the SWP. See a large movement for something or other and try to recruit from it. They bring the placards and hand them out, so most of the people with the placards are not actually SWP supporters.

Next time you’ve got to play “shag, marry, eat” with the Johnson family? 🤷‍♀️

What’s with all the SWP placards ? Do the SWP really care about this issue or did they just fancy a coach trip?

Male violence untempered as it is with gender issues is hideous to see

One sign appears to have said 'this time it's placards, next time it's not'. A strangely non explicit but ominous threat.

I’m not convinced big crowds on a Saturday lunchtime in Buchanan street are indicative of huge support... most people were probably just tying to get to John Lewis.

Come back with your numbers for the forge on a cold Tuesday February night and then I might care.

I don’t know one single person who actually believes any of this guff outside of those being paid by the public purse to clap like seals.
