Scottish Government don't allow suffragette colours at Stage 2 GRA meeting

[Waitwhat23]

The Committee are currently meeting at the Scottish Parliament today to discuss the suggested amendments to the GRA (Stage 2.) A feminist has been told to remove her scarf (knitted in stripes of suffragette colours - no other slogans, badges etc) or leave. She chose to leave. Meanwhile rainbow lanyards are being worn by Committee members who are discussing the amendments.

Well, quite. Seems to be happening though.

Maybe this tshirt?

(Which I really want for Christmas)

The contempt can't be clearer can it?

Then ban rainbows. Oh, they won't

Good grief. This is one of those things that a scriptwriter would say is too unbelievable, too far out, to be made into a film. And yet...

I hope one of your newspapers picks this up.

Yes. And the colour Red. Or Yellow. Or Blue.

Oh, or Green.

A woman wearing a purple silk scarf was told she would need to remove it if she wanted to stay to hear the debate.

Just purple.

'It seems no rule has been broken so this woman should be readmitted or the Scotparl could face a claim of discrimination on the grounds of belief, particularly where MSPs are permitted to wear rainbow colours. This is not my Scotland.'

Maggie Chapman's in a purple T shirt, there.

Best just kick all the women out, in case they are harbouring seditious thoughts about women's rights, eh?

Is it ok to wear purple knickers or will they be policing that too? Since they seem to be so bloody anti-women.

“You can buy items bearing suffragette colours in the Scottish Parliament gift shop but for some baffling reason, you can’t wear these colours while listening to a committee. - from herald link

Can we start taking bets on how long those items remain for sale? I reckon by end of tomorrow they will be gone.

You can buy items bearing suffragette colours in the Scottish Parliament gift shop but for some baffling reason, you can’t wear these colours while listening to a committee

said MSP Russell Findlay

Is it possible that the problem was the. Witches women wearing the scarves rather than the scarves themselves?

that kind of seems worse, no?

Women may as well go in black, to mark we are in mourning for democracy and our rights

It seems clear that women getting involved in politics just causes trouble. For some reason the image of a Queen Bee is coming into my head.

ANY WOMEN WEARING PURPLE ARE OBVIOUSLY STIRRING

If purple and green are out, are the red handmaid bonnets and cloaks a hard no too? I thought those were effective in some the US state legislature abortion hearings a couple of years ago.

I’m seeing at least one women in the background in a snazzy purple and green scarf.

And that's not even getting into the horrendous situation with the amendments. Amendment to keep age at 18 - rejected. I can't believe that Findlay's amendments have been rejected. It beggars belief.

CALL POLIS, THAT IS HATE CRIMING

Labour abstained!!

I fully expected all the Amendments to be rejected.

This is going through in all its most extreme glory.

Labour's clever plan to fix all the massive glaring issues with amendments was never going to work.

Labour are playing Pontious Pilate.

Simply refuse to leave. A woman being manhandled out of the chamber for wearing suffragette colours would be golden publicity. Infact the more that do it the better.

Bet anything all the rainbow laynards will be gone after the break !

I wish the brave women had made them physically eject her. What women should do from now on is wear one of the colours, like a purple t shirt with a green pants etc.
