But have you seen Mhairi Blacks twitter video? Also retweeted by the SNP. Disgraceful

"Last nightSNP MP Mhairi Blacktweetedwhat may be the most ill-advised, destructive, offensive, repellent and just downright idiotic thing that I’ve ever seen an elected SNP member do. (Maybe not just the SNP.)"

It’s completely changed my view of her - AND the SNP. Basically calling women c*nts and bigots. How can I support a party that feels that way about women. Not sure where to go or what to do now. Have been lurking on these issues - and honestly scared to speak out. But don’t feel I can be silent much longer

Sweet Jesus, I can’t believe that Mhairi Black video! She’s just so utterly dismissive of several perfectly reasonable points of view, and so aggressive and sneering with it. It’s not often I’d agree with anything in a Wings post, but fair play to him for spelling out just exactly how wrong most of that was. It is at least heartening to see common sense starting to prevail, even if the Scottish government is still aligning itself firmly against women’s rights on this.
