An SNP minister has been accused of “reckless” behaviour after she publicised an attempt to disrupt a women’s rally which has already been threatened with violence by transgender rights activists.
Christina McKelvie, who is in a relationship with the SNP Justice Secretary Keith Brown, shared details of a “counter-protest” against an event in Glasgow on Sunday, which is being held by the gender critical Let Women Speak group.
The information spread by the equalities minister on her Twitter page denounced the feminist event as “transphobic” and warned it would include “hate speech”.
It suggested those attending a counter-protest wear face masks to keep their identities secret and linked past Let Women Speak events to white supremacy and endorsement of Hitler.

I amnot sharing this to make anyone who is going to Glasgow on 5th more anxious than they might be as it is already know there are plans for a counter protest.
I am sharing because (assuming its true) it is despicable that an elected representative should be encouraging this type of behaviour, which she illustrates as knowing it is wrong, by saying they should wear masks.
I dont know if there is a code conduct for MSPs but this just further illustrates that madness that seems to be happening. But doubt she will be censored.
