Hate Crime Bill in Scotland and Women being able to use Mumsnet to discuss

[Wandawomble]

Anyone have an idea how this will affect the women who live in Scotland being able to participate in conversation here?

I live in a wee town. I know several of the police here personally. Like fuck is the 'chilling effect' going to outweigh the rising fucking fury of Scottish women being told to wheesht. I'm ready, they can fucking bring it.

Love it! When Scotswomen rise with fucking fury, Englishwomen will be right with you!

What does wheesht mean?

Try pronouncing it with a decent amount of gusto and follow-up - you'll pick it up very quickly. (In my mind's ear, it's onomatopoeia for the win.)

Thank you, Uppity. I might rise quite slowly while making some kind of grunting and clicking noises, seems to be the way these days.

Yes, wheesht is the kind of thing a mother says to her children to get them to hush up.
