Maggie Chapman has publicly accused the Supreme Court of transphobia. Any lawyers know if this is contempt of court?

Has anyone asked how green hormone treatments and gender-affirming surgeries actually are? What exactly is the carbon footprint of converting your gay son into a girl?

Merrymouse · 23/04/2025 10:24

It’s not just that this has nothing to do with green issues, but that it actively undermines their claim to be talking authoritatively about any science related subject - e.g. climate change.

There's a lot of cutted up pear heel drumming about at the moment.

TWETMIRF · 23/04/2025 09:34

She's like the toddler that asks for cutted up pear and then throws a wobbly for getting cutted up pear. Her next act is to lie down on the floor screaming while everyone around her ignores the tantrum

Thank you. The glorious , thoughtful, articulate Naomi Cunningham and then you have Maggie Chapman who I don’t have the vocabulary to adequately describe

She's almost 46. Old enough to know better!

Is that all?!!!!!!

Every time I hear her speak I'm struck by how immature she sounds. Her attitude is that of a petulant teenager, and it's incongruent with the way she looks. It confuses my brain!

She always looks as confused as the words that come out if her mouth.

Pretty much par for the course when it comes to Scottish politics.

Which is heartbreaking considering the history of politics in Scotland; who in the current generation holds a candle to the likes of Keir Hardie, John Smith and Donald Dewar?

Someone on here recently described her as a Sunday school teacher performing an exorcism, and its absolutely spot on.

Show quote history

OMG, yes! I recently happened to see a clip of her with the sound accidentally muted, and that’s spookily accurate. The head-jerking, twitching and wild eye-rolling was actually quite a frightening sight.

PrettyDamnCosmic · 22/04/2025 22:53

There is a great video of her being skewered by Naomi Cunningham in some committee meeting if someone has a link.

Scottish Devolution. So how is that working out for you?

SnoozingFox · 22/04/2025 21:04

To be fair on the list thing. Much as I am loathe to defend this silly woman, in the list vote you do vote for a party not an individual. But each party says which candidates they are putting forward for the regional list, ranked in order. So it would say something like

  1. Jane Smith
  2. Adam Brown
  3. Mark White
  4. Lucy Jones
and so on for the seven seats which are up for grabs in each region. We rank in order of preference and they do some sort of jiggery pokery to decide how the 7 seats in each region is split. In my region at the moment we have 3 labour, 3 conservative, 1 green. If you get 3 seats - as in my example above, Lucy misses out as she's 4th pick.

She's like an evangelist preacher who functions and perceives only in terms of good and evil.

One might think that the list vote is not only unfair to voters in returning unpopular candidates, but also unfair to candidates promoted far beyond their skillset and ability.

Have just been observing much of these discussions but have just watched an interview with Maggie Chapman on Twitter. Can't link but the interview was carried out by Gina Davidson LBC. Maggie was flustered but seems is not for turning either.

CatOfHate offers to stand as an MSP against Maggie PersonPerson.

Show quote history

'The campaign comes just two months after the university ratified a decision to scrap the rector election over allegations of “dirty tricks” by the campaign for Maggie Chapman.

A re-vote was called for after at least one other candidate wanted the Scottish Greens co-convener, the current rector, removed from the ballot in a row over campaign posters being torn down.'

For goodness sake. How old.is this woman, and what on earth is she doing in politics?

Good grief! Did Dundee students not learn from her tenure at Aberdeen where students were so incensed by her alleged "dirty tricks" during her re-election campaign, they wanted a cat to stand against her?

Appropriate that she's the new Rector of Dundee University right when the uni is going to hell in a handcart.

[brief diversion from thread follows]

It's a wonderful gift to be pithy. My husband used to be a senior IT person. When something went wrong with the system either he or his colleague would have to email all staff to keep them updated. His colleague would send out an email something on these lines:

Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of everyone in the IT department I would like to apologise for the delays you have all been experiencing with your email this afternoon. This was due to [insert complicated technical explanation] which we have now managed to fix with the help of our suppliers. We are confident that everything is now back up and running, but as ever, please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any further assistance.
Best wishes,
Lon Gwinded

My husband's email would read:

All - email is now back up and running as of 1600.
T. Erse

Same at home! It's great. I'm the waffler.

I now wonder if your husband is my IT guy who is great but doesn't say a word more than absolutely necessary.
My worst colleague, he was a manipulative backstabber, would write long circuitous emails and the longer they were, the more vicious would be the inevitable blow.

A woman so dense that light bends round her and so talentless, incompetent and blinded by ideology that only the Scottish Government would have her.

Not for the first time, and sad to say undoubtedly not the last, I weep for the state of my country.
