I'm not sure about Canadian history but with the notable exception of Nixon US Presidents don't really quit do they? Even if their rating is through the floor or they've been impeached.

You are correct. Clinton was impeached but he stayed on as president.

By capitulate I meant change policy course or drop gender identity policies/executive orders/party directives. Neither have said, "we are wrong about this."

But there are limits on their terms? Sturgeon's been 1st minister for 8 years.

NS's attempt to "take some of the heat out of this debate" involved calling anyone who disagreed with her as transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic and (possibly) racist. So much for "being kind and treating people with dignity"!

Yes, it only ever seems to work one way doesn't it?

Ref earlier poster. I'm in Scotland and have been for 40 years. In my circle..both work and family...there is nothing but relief that she has gone. We want to say goodbye to the bigotry,hatred and division that Sturgeon( and Salmond) brought to Scotland. By all means,campaign for independence if that's your thing, but do it professionally, with intelligent debate and backed up by facts. Scotland has become an embarrassment under the SNP and the Murrells in particular, and deserves better. Today has been a good day for many.

Fuckity bye, Nicola

When a politician resigns I’m always reminded of Malcom Tucker being forced into resignation and ending up running round some bins trying to avoid the press…

Let us hope she will not be working her successor like Orville.

The duck?

I wish I could fly, right up to the sky…but I can’t…

HIP HIP HURRAH! ten times. She jumped before she was pushed. Let us hope the gender woo woo is well and truly dead for the next candidate!

I honestly don't understand OJ's obsession with making predictions about how history will regard the present day, like some tinpot Nostradamus. but as ever, he's reliably wrong.

He did History at uni, I think. I guess that makes sense. But for someone apparently obsessed with it, he certainly does seem to lack a grasp of the big picture.

From he who wangs on about fascism so much, you’d think someone who studied history would know what it actually is.

Here’s a tip, Owen love, it’s not having to hear an opinion you don’t like or people being told their wants don’t trump the rights of others.

Can you imagine him being told by some HR flunky that he’s got to respect the pronouns of the work experience chap who has decided to identify as a girl named Rebecca and goes by the pronouns ze/zir? It would have been EPIC

LexMitior · 15/02/2023 20:29

You just know that given the choice between Joanna Cherry and Katie Forbes that the SNP are going to do a total 360 and go for the woman with the demeanour of bar soap.

Yes! Highland purity with Katie Forbes.

Firstly, trans women aren’t the threat, men are. Men are potential threats regardless of any other characteristic they have, including gender identity. That is why all men need to be kept out. If you haven’t understood that our argument is about the threat men present, you haven’t understood our position at all.

Secondly, this issue matters so much as at its heart it is about whether or not our society regards women and girls as being entitled to the most basic human rights. If women can be locked up with men, required to share bedrooms and sleeping space with men, required to get undressed in front of men ( as the young women on the beauty course with the rapist Isla were), required to discuss sexual trauma in front of men, and even more than that, are shamed and ostracized if they refuse, then women and girls are not regarded as being entitled to the most basic human rights and dignity. And if we aren’t seen as worthy of that, we can never be equal or advance our rights in society.

This debate is essentially one over the worth, and level of humanity, that women and girls are seen as having in society. That is why it is so crucial.
