The SNP’s women’s convenor persecutes prosecutes a woman for defending women’s rights.
You couldn’t make it up.
Just when I think the SNP can’t sink any lower in my opinion, they dig an even deeper hole for me to fill with contempt. They are despicable.

FlibbertyGiblets · 31/10/2021 20:19

Jeez.

Thefartingsofaofdenmarkstreet · 31/10/2021 20:24

Yes, it was mentioned on BBC Scotland yesterday or the day before, that the two complainants were David Paisley and Rhiannon Spear. Hope they are pleased with themselves now.

AniseDanehill · 31/10/2021 20:25

Is this why Rhiannon would Spear has stepped down?

SomepeopleareTERFSgetoverit · 31/10/2021 20:27

Explains a lot, especially why such a weak case was persisted with.

As others have pointed out on Twitter, there is a disturbing pattern of the SNP turning to the courts to silence/intimidate opposition.

This is why we need to separate the Scottish government and the procurator fiscals office

SomepeopleareTERFSgetoverit · 31/10/2021 20:44

I think there was concern about being in contempt of court. I read it here first yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com/2021/10/29/what-do-you-think-watson/

She was so unpleasant to women on Twitter that I blocked her quite a long time ago. Regardless of women’s rights, so many of these young representatives of political parties seem utterly unsuited to political life.

They really are unfathomably unprofessional.

She was named on bbc Scotland a few days ago. I heard that Fiona Robertson has also done a runner

One of the many, many reasons I will never vote for the SNP again. They couldn't give a fuck about women.

MassiveHoard · 31/10/2021 21:04

Shocking, my opinion of the SNP has just sunk even further, if that were possible.

People like Spear are one of the many reasons I have never supported and never will support separatism.

littlbrowndog · 31/10/2021 21:08

Spear stood down as women’s convenor. Where she wasn’t voted into

But she still got her counciler place on Glasgow city council

🤦‍♀️

That was a very interesting read. I didn't realise there was a pattern to it. Thank you for the link.

Enough4me · 31/10/2021 21:33

As someone who heard parts of the original complaint, was it true that these two complainents said some ribbons looked threatening and scared them?

littlbrowndog · 31/10/2021 21:41

Who knows enough4me

The worst thing is that police Scotland and prosecutor fiscal went to bring a case

That is the frightening thing

I called police Scotland like nearly 4 months ago for a good reason. Still waiting on my callback

Not important enough just a woman

littlbrowndog · 31/10/2021 21:43

And I got my case number and quoted it. Still waiting.

Helleofabore · 31/10/2021 21:46

I was intrigued about what the role women’s convenor was responsible for and found this.

www.heraldscotland.com/news/13527136.snp-plans-create-new-gender-equality-enforcer-role-within-party/

Sounds like a job where someone who has a balanced approach is necessary and certainly not someone deeply entrenched in the progression of allowing males to take the roles set aside for females.

If I was a Scottish voter, I would be worried just who they will replace this person with. There is the possibility of someone worse than Spear.

littlbrowndog · 31/10/2021 21:51

Hell I think that was 2015. Don’t mean snp will not get up to nonsense this time and we get a equalities person who don’t speak for women

Feminist to my fingertips sturgeon will no doubt appoint

OperationDessertStorm · 31/10/2021 22:02

So this person was investigated for her own tweets just earlier this year and has also been on the receiving end of online abuse and threats thought it would be a good idea to push a criminal investigation about someone else’s tweets through the courts.

Does this person still chair the education committee in Glasgow?

No, she was not investigated, or if she was, it was very quietly and behind the scenes.

Spear deleted her , literally, hateful tweet but no- one in the SNP took her to task over it.

That's how "inclusive" the SNP is. The Union still has majority support but separatists can tweet hateful tweets about the Union with impunity.
