SNP wants UK taxpayer to pay for repealing Sturgeon’s gender policies

I love your draft statement from the SNP, @BaseDrops - I'm snorting coffee here

I am a bit concerned that there could be a legal case against the EHRC because, unless I've misunderstood (quite possible), their first guidance did get the law wrong to some extent. This would have swayed policy decisions, I imagine.

Whatever, the first port of call for money should be those organisations who were pushing this dangerous ideology with tax payers' money on both sides of the border.

QUITE RIGHT HEN
WE CANNAE BE SPENDIN AW THIS ON WUMMEN WE NEED THE CASH FIR OOR QUANGAROES

This bit doesn't make sense.

Trans pupils will not be forced to use lavatories that match their biological sex, meaning alternatives should be provided.

Why do they need alternatives? Children who identify as "trans" cannot legally have medical treatment to make their bodies look like the opposite sex, so there's no ambiguity about their sex, so why can't they just use the toilets for their sex?

The Scottish government’s budget is over £60 Billion isn’t it? And didn’t the whole ferry fiasco cost nearly half a billion?

But £90 million to ensure they are compliant with equality laws they’ve been trying to skirt for a decade is something they just can’t manage?

They sound like big babies. And some of their moves were clearly illegal and failed their constituents before the SC ruling made clear what should be done.

I do wonder though, the extent to which central government needs to find the money to help councils (and maybe businesses) adjust. It wasn’t just Stonewall that pushed illegal practice. The EHRC pumped out disinformation on how businesses and service providers should treat trans folk for years.

I misread this post as.

"In the SNP's eyes, everything is Westminster's fault. seen through the pram, everything else makes sense".

I'm not sure I lost the meaning.

Jeebus.

Bit we wur telt that the stunnin’ brave sparkly trans bairns wid be sad if we didn’t build schools to suit them. We thocht that naybdy wid be so mean as to upset a trans bairn, and if they did we wid jist hud up photies of glittery smiley trans bairns and aubdy wid go ahh right enough. Canny believe that nasty wimmin have put the kybosh on it.

Draft statement from SNP in response to the costs to make school buildings legally compliant.

Aye, it the Englishes' fault so it is, so they kin pay fir it. Fur Wummin Scotland goat their heid filled fae they English Wummin JK Rowland and Maya and Posie Perker. So you kin aw pay fur it as well.

There.we.are.then.

Another reason why the best argument against Scottish independence is the SNP.

In the SNP's eyes, everything is Westminster's fault. Seen through that prism, everything else makes sense.

I'm in the US and I really don't understand. If all the existing facilities had been changed to gender neutral then why were they fighting so hard for men to have access to women's bathrooms? According to SNP - all of the women's bathrooms were removed in favor of gender neutral??? Soooo, trans women weren't using women's bathrooms then - and that's how they wanted it?? Or were the walls between the men's and women's bathrooms broken down to create one massive bathroom? If there are still 2 bathrooms in public facilities, isn't just a matter of signage?

Jeez it's almost as nothing that comes out of this movement makes any sense at all and the whole thing is just something out of the mind of Lewis Carroll.

BUT FUNNY

So, essentially its:

"Boo hoo! We spent money deliberately building things with non compliant toilets and now we want someone else to pay to make them legal. No FAAAIIIRRRR!"

Sorry for you, rational Scots.

Apologies I meant the SNP, not Scottish people, I’m sorry if it read that way 😵‍💫 it’s very late (for me)

I believe in some cases new schools have been built with entirely mixed sex toilets - rectifying things like that may not be as simple as just changing signage

Honestly thank god we never became independent (and I voted Yes at the time). I bet if we were independent, Isla Bryson would still be in a women's prison.

The individuals that pushed this insanity and illegality should be held personally liable.

They are utterly shameless and I hope the Scots finally see them for what they are and boot them into the long grass at the next elections.

RUDE.

It didn't cost £90 million to change the signs and it won't cost £90 million to change them back and add a few unisex toilets which the special men won't use anyway.
Just a novel form of foot-dragging.

God forbid the Scots pay for anything themselves

^ This ! ^
Or get Stonewall to cough up, given their role in directing change which was neither subject to public consultation or even needed.

So the devolved government voted in by the Scots encouraged illegality and now wants to escape the financial responsibility for putting it right?

tbh the rest of the U.K. will be facing bills anyway to sort out hospitals, schools, council run facilities etc.

Well well well is something finally sinking in?
