Great to read that article, adds quite a bit if detail to his recent letter. I've always thought Robin Harper was a decent man. He must absolutely despair of the Scottish Greens now.

Via a link on another thread I came across a quote “facts are chiels that winna ding, and downa be disputed”. Politicians are so used to spin they think they can deceive everyone all of the time.

Nicola should have read more poetry.

@Igneococcus
Just what we need. Yet another "Ministry of Truth".

I PREFER MCGONAGALL

For her presence was everywhere amongst the men,
And the service invaluable she rendered to them.

Not the point of this thread but @Tootsweets23 that website would've made my life so much easier had it been around in the noughties!

Speaking of the Scottish Greens, look at the absolute state of this fud -

Fuck of Humza.

Never mind Tate - you, The Fudmeister Patriarch Harvie and the rest of your ilk ARE the fucking misogynists too.

Absolute melt.

BigBoysDontCry · 15/08/2023 20:57

And yet it is perfectly fine to put a double rapist in prison with vulnerable women?

I COULDNAE POSSIBLY AGREE WITH #FUCKOFFHUMZA

'Frankly, there is not a grown man in the country today who has not been guilty of problematic behaviour, actions or words towards women in some form. I am no different. Like all men, I have had to reflect on my own behaviour and language over the years.

Without doubt, in my younger years I will have told a misogynistic joke at the expense of women, or not challenged behaviour that was demeaning to women.'

Fucking cheek of it! Plenty of men have managed to never tell a misogynistic joke you fucking arse! 'AllMen' is just as bad as 'NotAllMen'; it's just trying to spread the blame rather than owning his own fucking errors.

ArabellaScott · 15/08/2023 21:30

Oh, and I meant to say: #FuckOffHumza

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 16/08/2023 07:05

Well, haven’t all men tried to ensure that female prisoners get locked up with rapists? I mean it’s just one of those things that men do when they’re young, like getting a piercing, amirite?

Fuck Off Humza

@RealFeminist Typical of the SNP to quote the most incompetent poet in English literature - and he was celebrating a battle where the Scots fought for the British and not against them. For shame.

RealFeminist · 16/08/2023 07:49

I JUST LIKE THE TITLE

"But you are my daughters, you inherit my own faults of character;
you are submissive, following Adam
even beyond existence."

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 16/08/2023 14:23

Err what now?

if this is going to involve Daniel Craig in swimming trunks can someone hit the klaxon please. I do have to step away from MN from time to time and I won’t want to miss that

There's a line in that article that really made me laugh.

"He told The Times: “When I joined in 1980, Dr Robert McIntyre [the party’s then president and first MP] took to me one side and said: ‘Do you realise we will all be penetrated’,” he said."

I think Dr McIntyre might be talking about something else, politicians of those times had some funny ideas........

Also in the grand scheme of things I think "off colour" jokes and the like kind of pale into insignificance when placed against putting men in women's prisons and sports, believing that a man declaring a special identity makes him a woman and changing culture, language and society to facilitate this pseudo reality at the expense of the rights, privacy and dignity of women and girls and all the while farting out gaslighting patronising bs that there's no conflict of interests, nothing to see here, and if you think there is you're a nazibigotKarenterf.

If he thinks this patronising, weak as piss grab bag of platitudes will be enough to placate the rage of so many women and men in Scotland then he's either trolling us or he's an even bigger dunderheid than he looks.

#FuckOffHumza (and I've spelt it correctly this time)

'the Security Service was able to identify the four young nationalists who liberated the Stone of Destiny in 1950 thanks to moles. '

FUCKING MOLES THIS IS WHY WE HAVE COUNTER HAGGISES

Chersfrozenface · 16/08/2023 14:42

So the British state apparatus is in fact responsible for the SNP making an enormous, humongous pig's ear of running Scotland? Have I got that right?

Well, I confess myself surprised and not a little impressed. I had no idea it was so effective.
