Bit late, Swinney, as you promote men in women's jails etc. if it's a pandemic you are a carrier.

Well considering the support of the men who are declaring they will just defy the guidance as per this thread of yours, I don’t think that the govt needs to look very far for why if they have supported or do give support or don’t act to clarify how they will deter to this kind of declaration.

Aye because women and girls in Scotland can have complete faith in John Swinney when it comes to their safety.

I wouldn't trust him to help me cross the road.

Swinney is a fake, I know. But I don't care his motivations - if it gets the subject on the agenda and if something - SOMETHING - gets done to make my daughter safer, it will be worth listening to his softly softly talky shitey faux concern.

I'd be interested in his mathematical formulae for figuring out who the women and girls are, first. Apparently it's really difficult to work it out, and if he's going to stop VAWG, I would imagine that's the first step. Once he's worked out his formulae, he can let us all in on the secret.

Preferably before Wednesday.
