That decapitate terfs sign

[SamphiretheTervosaurReturneth]

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet but on wombling through my Twitter feed I found this picture.

Why on Earth would any venue so happily trumpet their involvement with this?

And I fund the black bloc - and it's fucking scary how much real bile went into this.

I hope some one sensible is taking note. This can't go unchecked - can it?

The bar where the signs were made in a workshop:

Maybe if they think they are going under they have nothing to lose?

Have Police Scotland made any comment on this hate speech?

I haven't found anything yet. They've been focussing on "we vet our officers, honest!"

It’s not a photo of a ribbon, so Police Scotland will say it’s not a police matter, obviously.

I wonder if fantasist Teddy Hope is or was involved with this venue? Teddy briefly attracted media attention by pretending to have been verbally abused at some local SNP meeting in 2021. I seem to remember the handle on twitter was bonjourteddy or similar.

And now it seems that the man who tweeted about running down KJK and friends has been identified - info passed on to Police!

"agree or death"

How very liberal.

It would be interesting to see The Police’s response if someone made an official complaint re hate speech.

Hate speech against what though? The Scottish hate speech laws don't apply to sex. Could "terfs" go for hate speech against a belief? Or are there still incitement to violence laws that could be used?

Who knows any more?

Yes, it's being investigated by Police Scotland.

It's incitement to violence/a threat to kill, does that only matter if it's against a protected group? I think it's illegal whoever it's aimed at isn't it?

'This could be charged either as common law breach of the peace or as threatening or abusive behaviour contrary to s.38 of the Criminal Justice & Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010'

The Hate law hasn’t been enacted yet.

Hate speech against woman the gender? Or against cis-women (much as I hate that term).

I have posted a thread in politics. I'm still feeling absolutely sickened by it the day after. There is no way these politicians should keep their jobs.

Great!

Patrick Harvey, Ross Greer and Alex Cole Hamilton are all photographed clapping Beth Douglas, a TW who has threatened women with violence online and has some unsavoury ideas about what a woman is.

All of those MSPs voted for the GRR legislation. It's a photograph that took me by surprise - looks like a representation of male threat to me.

Yeah, tbh I don't even register surprise at Green politicians supporting outrageous misogyny these days. I think this latest thing surprised me because I for some reason had thought SNP politicians were a bit more savvy.

A message to those that still don't get it

THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY?
**
Does this look right?
Everyone?
Can you see yet?
Are you still blind?
Perhaps you missed it?
It was there in plain sight
There were
A lot of signs
Telling each and
Every one of those politicians
That tried to deny the
Evidence
Right there!
FUCKING HELL
Seriously?
DECAPITATE TERFS??
WAKE UP

Fuckin' A!

The photo on the right seems to have been taken outside a library in Canada 3 years ago.

"TERFs get the guillotine" has been doing the rounds in America for at least 5 years. Normally it doesn't take that long for these hateful 'memes' to cross the Atlantic...

Times reporting on it:

That long? I knew it wasn't at the same place/time, I think I know it was Canada too. But had no idea it was that long ago. Doesn't time flie?
