Should prove interesting if he wins the leadership contest and tries to pursue the GRR through court.

'Isla Bryson should not have been in a women's prison ... Isla Bryson is a rapist who is completely at it; I don't think they're a genuine transwoman, I think they're trying to play the system'.

Actually I didn't realise either but I am not Scottish, although have lived in Scotland for more than half my life. Perhaps it is time for me to start identifying as Scottish ... does that get me access to a nicer prison or anything?

It'll get you Tunnocks.

I did NOT realise that 'At it' was a Scottish phrase. Apologies for this, or I'd have provided more context in the OP!

Hm, I would say that example of 'at it again' is modified by the 'again'.

'At it' on its own, in my experience, means deception.

DP says: 'Total chancers, fully aware that they're a chancer.'

Absolutely no connotation of sex in the Scottish usage!

According to Macmillan:

If someone is at it, they are doing something that you do not approve of:

He’s at it again, trying to cheat the customers.

"at it" according to the dictionaries means engaging in something reprehensible "the council / government are at it again".

It often has a sexual connotation in my mind, though. Particularly "at it like knives".

Schrödinger's politician existing in multiple states simultaneously

Indeed. The perfect illustration of the cognitive dissonance that gender identity ideology er... engenders.

It's a Scottish phrase, I assume. As an English person, I initially took it to mean the On the Buses meaning, but realised immediately that wasn't it.

Oh, you don't have 'at it' in England?

I can hear 'He's at it' in a cockney accent, am I imagining it?! IDK what the 'on the buses' meaning is ...

In Scotland, it means 'putting it on' or 'having you on' or 'pretending' or 'taking the mickey' or 'taking the piss'.

It is bizarre he uses ‘they’ while basically saying Isla is a man. If Isla is “at it” then called him a him. I don’t know what’s going on in his head.

Not much, I suspect.

I've been disappointed that nobody has confronted him publicly with the child abductor and rapist from the borders - such an open goal.

We can’t at the moment as it’s an ongoing investigation.

Look, if I take the post of first minister, about two thirds of the SNP are going to be in detention until about 2025....

Yes, but is there a the downside?

'At it' sounds like something said in On the Buses. 'Cwoor, they bin at it on those back seats again, Jack!' Has Hamza started identifying as Reg Varney?

I keep hearing Noel Coward at the back of my mind: 'Alice is At It Again'.....

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 16/03/2023 12:43

I want to see the legal definition for “at it”.

guinnessguzzler · 16/03/2023 12:34

We can only hope it will cause Labour to reconsider their position. Ever the optimist, I am 😂

BloodyHellKen · 16/03/2023 12:27

I would love to know what Labour think of the SNP leadership election.

On one hand Humza is TWAW (unless they are 'at it' obviously 😂) which means it is the same old centre left SNP with a layer of TRA's - i.e. a bit like Labour but with added Independence.

On the other hand if either Ash or Kate win, the SNP will not be entertaining the TRA's but will still be a centre left inde party that will now have a lot more appeal to all those who won't vote Labour because of their TWAW.

Labour need Scottish votes to win a GE. If Humza wins Labour can't compete because they haven't been able to in the last 2 GE's and if either Kate or Ash wins they can't compete either because it will be TWAW vs TWANW.

Maybe this is why recently Labour have started to try and appear like they do care about womens votes after all?

I had to talk with my 18 yo the other day, she's partially captured but is sceptical at times. We were talking about women spaces. I was saying how there are some trans women who really aren't trans women. She looked a bit shocked. I had to tell her how there will always be abusers/rapists/pedos who will play the long game and use whatever means they can to access their victims. Even if it means growing their hair long and wearing a dress, to access spaces for women or children.
This is why no males of any kind should access women spaces. She was in agreement by the end and none of her friends will use the gender neutral loos at school, she said no one like to go in there at all. Boys or girls.

I had a similar discussion with my 17 year old daughter. It genuinely hadn't crossed her mind that some men would abuse the TWAW stance purely to access single sex spaces. Once she understood the risks she was against any Trans-women going in the ladies loo/changing room 'because I don't want to see a man in there with me mummy'.

It blew her mind when I told her about trans-women competing against girls/women in sport 😂Oh to be young and innocent.
