Cameron sounds absolutely charming. I wonder if the SNP will do anything?

The SNP and TRAs are basically merging at this point.

It's very scary, especially for women in Scotland.

WomaninBoots · 28/09/2022 19:45

Tell me again all about how I should vote SNP because the Tories are evil.

Helleofabore · 28/09/2022 20:33

Another gem of find! Do the SNP have so little choice? The 'witch screamer' didn't last long. Mind you Nicholson has clung in there.

ArabellaScott · 28/09/2022 20:45

He seems nice.

FemaleAndLearning · 28/09/2022 20:51

Women of Scotland I'm so sorry for the shit you have to put up with.

ArabellaScott · 28/09/2022 20:56

Thanks, Female. It's shit.

ImherewithBoudica · 28/09/2022 21:23

Gosh what a surprise. Were you surprised? I was surprised.

🙄

I agree, SNP now are basically TRAs complete with death and rape threats. Nice, sane, balanced people, just who you want running the country.....

DuesToTheDirt · 28/09/2022 21:28

Are there any, any at all, examples of "terfs"/gender critical people behaving like this? It's really not a good look for them, not that they care.

Equality? Don't make me laugh.

TheBiologyStupid · 28/09/2022 21:36

Shocking. You'd think that an Equalities Officer should have to provide some sort of track record in assisting people with a range of protected characteristics before being appointed. This person doesn't even meet the ridiculously low bar of having not gratuitously insulted people with one of them. JFC!

Of course not. This is an all round lovely chap who's not at all objectionable performative displays of perfectly acceptable views about women having opinions should never give rise to even a raised eyebrow amongst his party's leadership.

Tsk tsk tsk, honestly, why would you expect different? This is not just any party, this is the SNP. Better than any other party currently in existence and so its leadership couldn't possible have anything to say about him.

FOJN · 28/09/2022 21:50

Cameron is 23 now, 21 when he wrote the tweets about his desire to commit violence against women. I don't think it makes him an upstanding member of society and although I don't recall threatening violence at that age I'm sure I said some seriously stupid shit. Thankfully social media didn't exist to preserve it for posterity.

However I'm confused about why there isn't someone older and wiser advising Cameron to reign it in and why, before taking a post as a party officer, Cameron did not think to scrub his social media.

I think speaking about women in that way must be quite normal in the SNP so Cameron probably thought there was nothing wrong with his tweets and that's what I find most troubling of all.

Disturbing thought, isnt it?

I'm many of us were probably twits in our times late on a weekend night as students, but I doubt many freely spilled out a desire to go and seriously injure random strangers. That kind of thing tends to not be seen as normal behaviour to well balanced, socially developed people with good mental health.

MangyInseam · 28/09/2022 22:25

Why do they keep putting such young people into very responsible jobs?

I do think these guys probably think it is normal to talk that way. Maybe not specifically to women, but to people who do not think the right things and are probably evil Tories.

This is not normal in the SNP. I’ve been a member of the SNP for almost 40 years, attended and spoken at conference and been active in all their campaigns. I’ve never heard this language used at any time or in any situation.

This post is for the London branch of the SNP and the person‘s responsibilities are limited to that branch only. It is a voluntary, unpaid post, and he would likely have been proposed and seconded by two other members who might have known little about him.

The media have dug up his previous posts which are appalling and unacceptable.

I think most members and supporters of the SNP would want him removed smartish.

WomaninBoots · 28/09/2022 23:38

In that case we shall await his removal with the keenest of anticipation.

Do you think we should hold our breath or might that be dangerous?

Honeysuckle16 · 29/09/2022 00:01

WomaninBoots Sadly no political parties are completely free of unsuitable people. The posts from this individual are appalling, as I wrote previously. Perhaps you support a political party in which every member, supporter councillor, elected official, MP and MSP are squeaky clean?

WomaninBoots · 29/09/2022 00:08

I don't support any political parties at the moment. They're all shit.

DdraigGoch · 29/09/2022 07:44

“The SNP seem to actively want mindless thugs in their ranks"

Anyone who's seen the behaviour of their activists would not be surprised by this.

It’s almost as if they want these twerps to yell out these things (is is what they are thinking too?) or they haven’t ever heard of reputation management.

but the SNO were always a joke. The party of ranty, shoulder chippy wee ‘freeeeeedoooooommmmm!’ types.

well that would be nice

depends of definition of squeaky clean 🤔

not threatening to beat up women which you’ve obviously said is appalling would be a start…not racist or homophobic as well. Pretty low bar

DdraigGoch · 29/09/2022 09:12

The only thing that surprises me about this is the revelation that the SNP has a London branch.

FOJN · 29/09/2022 09:27

Its a shame that NS didn't see fit to respond to Joanna Cherry when she was made aware that a member of the party had sent her rape threats.

So why hasn't he been removed? The truth is while it might bother some members it doesn't bother the leadership. Indeed given the SNP party's attitude to not only this individual but others too, it would seem to simply reflect the party''s policy.
