Maggie Chapman MSP slanders Supreme Court

[Seriestwo]

Maggie Chapman has publicly accused the Supreme Court of transphobia. Any lawyers know if this is contempt of court?

The word you are looking for is immaturity.

Yes, I was coming up with childish, ignorant, self obsessed. Like the world, including all its laws and the courts who enforce them, are all doing it for you, personally. And if they're not doing what you want, then they are horrible meanies who should be punished.

It's the political equivalent of cutted up pear 😂

Political movements follow social trends.

The social trend ATM is the inability to say no to young people and children and a general infantilisation of younger generations.

Once again this movement would not have manifested in this way if certain preconditions did not exist.

Maggie Chapman's 45 though

Yes. She's part of the generation that hasn't said no to their kids though still.

One SNP member of the committee was up very early to vote in support of Maggie Chapman - 4am local time.

Not holding back:

Maggie Chapman is an activist not a parliamentarian
And in supporting her retention as vice-convener of the committee, her three SNP colleagues similarly failed to scrutinise facts and uphold the integrity of the parliament they were elected to sit in. It was a simple question: had she brought her own position on the committee into disrepute by accusing the Supreme Court of “bigotry, prejudice and hatred” following its judgment in the case of For Women Scotland vs Scottish Ministers? The answer should have been crystal clear, as should her fate.
The Faculty of Advocates and the Law Society of Scotland both criticised Chapman’s comments, saying they were not compatible with her role on the committee. They were right. But the SNP members, mindbogglingly, disagreed and voted against the Tory motion that sought to have Chapman kicked off it. And Chapman concurred, adding her own vote to safeguard her position. In so doing, the ability of the committee to scrutinise, particularly legal witnesses, is undoubtedly compromised.

She voted for herself? How is that allowed! 🙈

And then the large parties wonder why Reform just swept the elections and why is that the general public are so utterly sick of them. Arrogance devoid of ethics, integrity or the basic standards of behaviour required to work on the till at Tescos or any other ordinary job.

Well, it's actually not. But the Scotgov doesn't seem that bothered about following its own rules.

The equalities committee is not fit for purpose.

Chapman still has to face an ethics complaint from Ash Regan .

She is accused of breaching Section 7.2 Principles of Public Life and Section 7.3 General Standards of Conduct of the MSPs' code. Complaints made against MSPs are investigated by the independent Ethical Standards Commissioner, a role currently held by Ian Bruce, who was appointed for a six-year term in January 2023..

Voting for herself and being denounced by The Faculty of Advocates and the Law Society of Scotland is not going to help.

I don't think she's even heard of the term conflict of interest, let alone understand it. Voting for yourself in elections, fine as it's unlikely to make a difference. Voting for yourself in a small committee is so obviously wrong that anyone with the tiniest hint of integrity would abstain.

The greens and snp just ignore inconvenient truths like “Maggie’s mince” and “you lost, sort sex out”.

Holyrood has failed.

And today…

Wtf is Wightman playing at?!

'Just as this Supreme Court decision deserves to be respected, so too does the democratic will of the Scottish Parliament. MSPs passed the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill by 86 votes to 39. The bill currently sits on the desk of the presiding officer but a Section 35 order issued by the UK Government prevents her from submitting the bill for royal assent.

Since the substantive basis for that Section 35 order (the impact of the bill on the operation of the Equality Act 2010) no longer applies, the UK Government has a duty to reconsider the continuing validity of the order. If it fails to do so, a legal challenge may compel it to.

Either way, if there is no lawful impediment to sending the bill for royal assent, then Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone must do her duty, and the bill may well become law just in time for the 2026 Scottish parliamentary election. Scottish ministers may have no plans to reconsider the bill, but they are powerless as to whether it becomes law in its current form or not. '

not surprised, Andy Wightman is a nationalist and will always be pushing for undermining Great Britain.

It’s a good point. They can’t leave it in the long grass, it needs sorting out.

I have been wondering about the status of the GRR. There is an argument that the UKGOV withdraws the veto in light of the UKSC ruling. The GRR then receives Royal Assent and becomes law. 25% of Scots between the ages of 16 and 25 immediately acquire a GRC. Whither any attempt to re-write the EqA to change the meaning of sex?

So it could all be for nothing? This and the weird data bill that is also a way of self id coming in makes me feel like these fuckers will never give up.

It will be a case of whack a mole. But so far it never stands up in court. And it's all proved very educational; it's this behaviour that has opened the eyes of many members of the HoC and the HoL, and the EHRC are on to it. At least until their leader is replaced with a captured mouthpiece.

Looks like everything we know is wrong.

Chapman's level of crazy was just an overblown act. She was a secret terf all along who fought to retain her position so she could undermine trans stuff from within by acting daft and get women their toilets back.

Congratulations Agent Chapman! :) You really had us convinced too.

Johnstone, the head of the Scottish Parliament Corporate Body (SPCB), said access to toilets would be based on “biological sex” and that some of Holyrood’s facilities would be designated as gender neutral spaces, The Times reports.

The changes were signed off by the SPCB, which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Parliament as a workplace and employer.

That body includes Green MSP Maggie Chapman (above), who found herself at the centre of a major storm after criticising the Supreme Court’s ruling as fuelled by “bigotry, prejudice and hatred”.

She narrowly survived a vote on a motion to remove her from her position as the deputy convenor of Holyrood’s Equality Committee last month.

Not convinced that Chapman is a Terf... well in that case why is Harvie targeting her involvement by condemning the new toilet plan which she approved. :)

It was made clear yesterday that Maggie Chapman of the SGP approved the toilet plans. It's rumoured that she and Harvie do not get on. Is he stitching her up?

She's been uncharacteristically quiet on the matter.

Now it all makes sense; the overly masculine surname, the batshit comments that the most ardent tra would think were a bit much, if she was on team terf all along. Actually, I think she overdid it a little.

Well, i am confused.

Perhaps Maggie thinks that third spaces were always the sensible position but couldn't manage to say this or she needs to get an urgent hearing test because she's failed to hear all the women proposing this and failed to hear all the transwomen flatly refusing this as a possibility.

This way Maggie gets to reverse ferret without reverse ferreting and apologising to anyone.
