Mhairi Black literally called women who want single sex spaces cunts.

Cunts.

Women.

I know, that was awful.

Yep.

@Bettyscakes if you want to report misogyny try emailing the SNP.

So delighted that the SNP have had an utter spanking.

I see Swinney is saying they need to listen to the people? 🤔 why didn't they think to do that before?

Absolutely this.
I'm going to write to Swinney and explain exactly why DH and I couldn't vote for them anymore.

Mhairi Black quoted as saying, "Blaming voters, or doing anything other than serious self reflection is precisely the kind of attitude that has turned so many away from the SNP.”
She's not wrong.

On a side note, I'm enjoying that not one Alba candidate even got their deposit back 😂

Unfortunately she followed that up with a battle cry for 'Trans rights'. Harriet Harman made sense talking about the rights of women & Mairi Black answered with a trans focus, this is why I left SNP.

whatcom22 · 05/07/2024 15:37

Yeah I noticed that too, and she said that most people don't care about the trans issue and the snp shouldn't have engaged in so much debate on it 😂

BigBoysDontCry · 05/07/2024 15:53

I've been staying off X but had a wee look. It's all the blame if the biased unionist media and Labour aren't going to fix the NHS etc so we are all stupid not to have voted SNP. Yep, once again it's everyone else's fault....

Do I remind them that health is devolved and that the SNP failed to allocate money specifically given for the NHS to SNHS? 🤔🙄

Bettyscakes · 05/07/2024 15:57

Maybe put it in quotes then - not everyone knows every quote from every politician.

motheronthedancefloor · 05/07/2024 16:33

Someone in the BBC comments said "there's campervans with more seats"

😂😂😂

I take it you forgot to quote me?

Maybe check before your report then - this is a very well known insult from MB which was widely covered in the media. If you care to find out more then Google is your friend.

Hilarious that the OP is being criticised for something a (former) SNP MP said and just shows the problem with SNP voters - they don't know or care what their party says or does, they just blindly vote for them. But if someone else does or says the same, then its wrong! I note @Bettyscakes has gone on the defensive instead of apologising as well.

Bettyscakes · 05/07/2024 17:35

I’m not apologising as it wasn’t obvious to me it was a quote. Just because some people feel it’s well known doesn’t mean every single person does.

I didn't recognise it as coming from Black. I recognise the "Jeremy Hunt" quote but this one could feasibly have been said by any number of SNP supporters. It was obvious to me it was paraphrasing/ speaking in character.

Have you fired off a letter of complaint to MB and the SNP now that you're aware of the source of the bile? You should - reporting me to MN for quoting MB won't change what she says but if you think it's misogynistic and inappropriate you should let them know. The more people who complain about her the better.

That’s nice but as I said it wasn’t obvious to me. If it was I would never have reported the OP.

Thank you, yes I will & I agree it’s awful, hence me reporting you thinking you were saying it.

VelvetKimono · 05/07/2024 18:06

Maybe they should stop blocking people who disagree? And listen

Good. I understand your disgust at the comment - it was an appalling one from a politician, but unfortunately it’s par for the course from MB.

John Nicolson is gone, that made my night.

He was my MP too. I used to walk past his office daily. He's a useless twat of a politician

Officially single figures for the SNP. Drew Hendry has conceded ahead of the recount.

Hurray !!! Still 9 too many but great news

So, OP, are you a Reform voter?

What do you expect now in Scotland?
