Please join For Women Scotland and Keep Prisons Single Sex to protest the recent policy decisions that have illustrated the horrific situation in Scottish prisons for women - see below for details.
We have one message:
#NoMalesInFemaleJails, any compromises or half-baked policies will not provide safety for women.
Thursday 9th December at 11:30am. Please spread the word and we'll see you there!

The protest is Thursday February 9th (despite what the text below says, FWS have a typo in their newsletter). Definitely Feb! Just before FMQs.

Good luck you amazing Women 🚺

Is there a web link for this info? Easier to share than text / images.

Also helps if notice is shown to have a link to one or both of the groups mentioned.

Not trying to be negative, just know that the moment you post something with no context you just get loads of "where is this from".

Thanks

Hope you have a good turn out.

I will be there!

have been knitting cowls in green, white and purple, with a thistle design.

I’ll be the one with two wee Westies.

Your Westies would look really cute in mauve, green & white knitted coats <musing on doggie knitting patterns>.

You're not JK Rowling, are you? She has two Westies.

Tallisker · 07/02/2023 11:22

I was planning to come but work has sent me in the opposite direction 🙄

The dogs have just been bathed, much to their disgust.

was thinking of knitting a green, white and purple tube like thing to slip over the lead. The older dog hates wearing anything other than a collar and just stands still with a mutinous look on his face.

was thinking that we need some good protest songs to sing. We Shall Overcome, maybe?

Unacceptable. The destroyer of women's rights really needs to explain how this could happen under her watch. The buck stops with her.

BlackForestCake · 07/02/2023 20:04

I was today years old when I realised that Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny Aff A Bus and She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain are the same tune.

Hedjwitch · 07/02/2023 20:04

So sorry I cant be there. I wish I could!

I can't go myself but dd is on her way. Perhaps someone could look out for her in her powered wheelchair.
