Does anyone know who took that photo of Isla Bryson outside the court in the now iconic pink leggings?

I'd like to send the person a card to say thank you. A picture paints a thousands words and all of the words painted were useful in Scotland.

I’d love to know who it was too, I’d like to buy him or her a pint.

He's on Twitter: https://twitter.com/spindriftagency

It’s Mike Gibbons - Spindrift is the name of the photo agency.

stealtheatingtunnocks · 03/01/2024 20:10

thank you!

I thought photographers would sign their work like artists do, no matter how much I peered I couldn’t see a name.

that was the photo of 23 for me.

Never has something so small had such big impact!

Thank you very much for finding the name - I did try, but I don't understand how professional photography works.

I'll follow Mr Gibbons on twitter and credit him every time I share his perfect image of everything that was, and still is, wrong with Nicola Sturgeon's government.

I know she's not FM still, of course - but I suspect that she's still operating from a command post. Perhaps Operation Branchform will explain that.

I understand this individual who is not a man or a woman but is a rapist, is in trouble for trying to get fellow inmates to engage in sexual activity in jail. There is a lot to be grateful for that this "individual" is incarcerated with actual men and not women.

How can someone be 'not a man or a woman'

I think it's very obvious what Bryson is

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria Knows exactly what Adam is - she's referring to the fact that Nicola Sturgeon doesn't have any idea at all

Really?

Yes, I was doing what @Morwenscapacioussleeves said - making an oblique comment to what the Scottish MSPs said about this person. The leader of the Lib Dems, Alex Cole Hamilton, said he was "not qualified" to say whether this person was male or female, the Greens are even more batshit and Labour are lost. Only the tories and Alba make any sense. I'm politically homeless because of a pair of rapey leggings.

FrancescaContini · 04/01/2024 08:54

Laughing at the idea of grown adults who hold positions of responsibility claiming not to be “qualified” to say if someone is male or female. You don’t need any qualifications whatsoever; you just need to be over the age of four, which presumably this party leader is. FFS.

Or 'I'm not a biologist'.

Utter bilge.

Or 'I'm not a biologist'.

I did do two years of biology as a minor, at university, but amazingly, I could tell the difference long before that came about.

Obviously, it's because I'm very special indeed.

WickedSerious · 04/01/2024 10:03

I've started telling people I can't give them my address because I'm not a postman.

It’s iconic and has done so much to educate people about what is going on. Someone on Twitter said Isla Bryson should have his own statue 😂

SinnerBoy · 04/01/2024 11:21

Jeez! I'm not a postman, either! How am I going to get home now? My address book's in the house. Or is it a flat? Who can tell?

Me too, now 🤣
