At least, the Rainbow Greens are!

There's a petition for the Greens to leave Government, if anyone finds it please post the link or how to find it!

"I felt strongly that it was imperative to see properly peer-reviewed scientific studies before embarking on legislation that set vulnerable young people on irreversible pathways, but when I discussed this concern with my local Green councillor, he reported me to the party’s conduct committee."

When I've voted Green in the past, I was (or so I believed) voting for a party founded on the principle of using good science as weapon against the self-serving fake science of big oil and against the biased political agenda of right-wing Westminster politics. To see the Greens turn their back on science in their tack to the hard left makes me upset and angry in equal measures. The Greens were supposed to be better than this.

Good policy and laws are not made by disciplining those with concerns or alternative views.

Losing good people like Robin Harper and Andy Wightman is to the Green party's shame.

They used to always get my second vote. Then they started prioritising independence and now gender ideology.

We need a new party for the environment as the Green's are not it.

We need a new party for the environment as the Green's are not it.

Agree. I feel that all those who have left or been expelled from the Greens might be better setting up a new party. So many good people lost.

I agree too.

I feel so sorry for Robin Harper, after all he did for the Greens.

Ugh. Rogue apostrophe. Damn you autocorrect!

Do you not think it is a little coincidental that all the Green parties across the globe are now nothing to do with Green policies and all about drugging and mutilating kids?

We need some healthy new Greens.
The old ones are decomposing into a smelly mess.

Not sure what you mean here @AlisonDonut
Spill the green tea if you know!
They are certainly not recognizable from their previous incarnation.
Either the 'brand' has been corrupted or it is an entirely different brand, from what I can see.

This man threatening to make a complaint against Joanna Cherry's 'unparliamentary conduct' and having a footstamping rage because she won't reply to him on Twitter is a Scottish Green Candidate for Gordon & Buchan -

Sophie Sparkles? Of the pegs?! 😳

The Scottish Greens haven't really approved Sophie as a candidate? Did they ... did they check the Twitters, at all?

Pretty funny of the Greens to put Sparkles in Gordon and Buchan constituency where the Tory candidate Harriet Cross are likely to win according to polls partially thanks to Green vs SNP conflict.

And ball gag, yes.

I believe he's had a few name changes.

He's also claiming that 'the women who wouldn't wheesht' book is 'deeply transphobic'.

The book hasn't been published yet. It's only available on pre-order, available from 30th May. There are only two copies in existence. Lucy Hunter Blackman has one and Susan Dalgety has the other. They haven't shared them (Lucy has said so specifically).

So Sophie's decrying a book which he hasn't actually read. What a surprise.

I've left Sophie a couple of messages. All replies appear to be in the same vein.

I don't know who this person is, can someone enlighten me? I'm not on Twitter, what's been said? I'm guessing this is a bit of an unhinged person, to put it mildly?

Same. Who is this crazy man?!

So now if you don't respond to some fools tweet, that is in itself transphobia?

Fucking hell.

I really am not a conspiracy theorist, but how can it be that in the time of an alleged climate crisis, with all eyes on this issue, that all Green Parties around the whole world decided to aim their attentions completely away from the prevervation of nature and sustainability towards promoting kids getting off the book pharmaceuticals?

It just does not compute.

It is another thing that doesn't make sense, that we would blame on 'queer theory' that always destroys its host, but these people had actual power in Scotland and they gave it up because of what exactly?

Everything's transphobic!!!

Sophie Molly aka Sophie Sparkles aka who the fuck knows.

Sophie, who describes himself as a 'Folk punk transwoman singing songs of trans liberation'. Posted a photo of himself with a ball gag in and clothes pegs on his nipples for Trans Visibility Day. Threatened to 'keep Police Scotland very busy' by reporting every woman who dared to state that sex is immutable and important when the Hate Crime Bill was brought in. He's in a polycule with Heather Herbert, who posted a photo of himself dilating in an airport toilet.

And is a candidate for the Scottish Greens.

Of course.

Fucking hell 😲

Arabella, you dont seem to be getting hang of this. Any other party still, however tangentially, on planet earth would bin this candidate pronto. The Scottish greens though are dialled into planet Zog so Sophie's twitter bollocks is actually now the minimum requirement for selection.

Riiiiight....

Well I'm not going to look for THAT photo it will give me nightmares... 😱

I wouldn't.
