Go Pam Gosal!!

I love the way they think "we've been operating this policy for years" is a winning argument.

Not on top of his portfolio

What was Pam Gosal's question?

He's convinced that the prison assessments were expert 🤣

Why should they scapegoat the people who do this risk assessment - when it's shown that the risk assessment form is all about the risk TO the prisoner, not to anyone else!? Take some fucking decisions and say no men in women's prisons.

Basically why the fuck was it seen as appropriate that a male rapist was placed in female prison.

Brown Risk assessment blah blah lie blah blah

I think she referred to the fact it's not been working well at all, idiot.

Michele t who did he consult women wise

Michelle Thomson - great q. How many female groups were consulted and who were they

Brown I'm happy to give her the info

Bugger school run....

Not trans prisoners. Male prisoners.

And I didn't catch any acknowledgement of the different implications of putting females in male prisons.

I think it's worth saying that 30 years ago the small number of genuinely dysmorphic men who used to be called 'transsexual' probably feel they have as much in common with these chancers as women do. Self-ID is harmful to all of us.

Unfortunately no one seems to give a shit about them either. Maybe more of a shit than they give about women, but not much more. In the same way that transmen are Trojan Horses, so are they.

S amendment should have been acceoted

He's bull shitting!

Brown still waffling

Have to go but good q from Findlay at the end there

Missed R F bit what was that about

Rf comments made in Brown's answers from an spoa official but that person is an snp politician. Asks f or guidance on declarations of interest for members

We don't get an answer really

Very much enjoying the commentary as I have to be in calls this afternoon, boo!

While the general public say and it led to you happily waving Bryson and Scott into the female estate didn't it? And Dolowatzit. And Eastwood. WTF have you been doing?!

And how many more horrors have happened to women via this policy that you have successfully hidden under the carpet while shouting "Oh look it's all fine!"

You've been caught red handed, mate. The policy is fucked.

I'll open the book now on 'every woman consulted' turning out to be either male, or captive to SNP policy through funding and a paid sock puppet.

Place your bets.

FWR needs its own account at William Hill.

Of i was W hill I wouldn't let you place that bet.
