Sturgeon resigning

[smileladiesplease]

Thank the Lord about time.

Hoisted by her own insistence on supporting a minority and throwing women under the bus.

A good day for women everywhere but especially Scotland

Sturgeon, specifically, didn’t thought, did she? Bryson was put in isolation for assessment in a women’s prison for 72 hours, and transferred to a men’s.

16 trans people in prisons in the UK. SIXTEEN!

Why aren’t you as angry about the government’s botched privatisation of the probation service which resulted in a mass exodus of experienced probation officers and violent offenders are now being mis-categorised and released to reoffend? One person every three days killed by a released offender- mostly women, of course: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/probation-murder-aleena-prison-release-b2270810.html?amp

it’s because your issue isn’t actually with violence, or protecting women, it’s with trans people, isn’t it?

I’m cracking open champagne tonight! Nicola Sturgeon has been a shameful, self-seeking politician who did a deal with the Devil to embed gender ideology in public life in Scotland and in doing so she threw women and children under a bus.

It's fantastic news and it shows that actually, people are unhappy with the idea of putting men in womens prisons and safe spaces. Men have no place in there.

Surely you understand that there have been at least 3 if not 4 other threads about this today??

I didn't like her but I sure respected that she stood by her principles. She never wavered from her beliefs and for that I can give her credit.

She could’ve been an even better one if she’d just accepted reality and conceded the very real risks to biological women. But no, absolute denial and bluster. An insult to women. Even worse when she is one and knows the truth.

This thread was started this morning as the news was still breaking and just before she made her broadcast.

Bottom line is that while she's been leader of the SNP the two major aims she's been pushing she's failed at. 9 years and still no nearer to independence if you believe the recent polls, and her attempts to jump on the TRA bandwagon have also backfired.
Good riddance.

Oh dear yes it was, sorry! So my comment applies to ssd who has for some reason revived this one rather than posting on one of the other threads created since. Or perhaps ssd has posted on them all and has a particular agenda? Who knows.

Is this the London bus incident?

I am in London but I can't see what NS was doing that would have prevented such an attack happening in Scotland?

Well said.

I think another cause for celebration is the fact that under NS, Scotland has seen unprecedented rates of drug use and deaths. Some areas are complete no-gos due to class A useage. Maybe the next 'leader' will actually try and address this & stop more families being destroyed

Putting the trans piece to one side she was terrible. NHS on its knees, education on its knees a delusional view that independence would solve everything and we would prosper. Would we hell! You can’t say a once in a generation and then come back and say we’re going to do it again. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

There is one of the suggested leadership candidates who did not support the gender recognition bill, Kate Forbes.

Though how a devout Christian would be treated, given what Tim Farron had to endure, is anyone's guess.

I have read in the newspapers all the trouble that trans people cause. They used to comment on all the foreigners coming here, taking our jobs and sponging off benefits paid for by British taxpayers. But since Boris took control of our borders that has not been a problem.

Are you being sarcastic @jgw1 ?

Exactly, thank goodness for these tories, champions of equality and human rights, without Nicola Sturgeon and her protecting ‘minorities’ we might actually get rapists imprisoned properly and properly funded childcare and support back to work and the elimination of the gender pay gap and Equality4All 🙄🤣

So true. What has been holding this country back is the Scottish First Minister who has limited powers over only a part of the country.

No, what on earth gave you that impression?

In this case it is awful

Oh dear.

Yeah but, not but, yeah but, a woman is a man is a woman is sometimes non binary, maybe a rapist in prison, but I don’t know nuffink, so shut up yeah

Sturgeon was a disaster for Scotland and for women's rights. I'm delighted she has gone.

Just anxious about what dross we will get in her place.

Would you like to take Boris for a spin up in Scotland as First Minister. I hear he doesn't have much to do with his days except talking to Americans, so I am sure he could spare a few hours every so often to be First Minister. And he knows what a woman is.
