Another letter based on guidance from the Good Law Project!!

The names listed in that article is basically a who's who of the absolute bellends in the Scottish Government who are worried that their grift is finally coming to an end now the general public have realised the level of infiltration of gender ideology into our public institutions.

Scotland, why do you keep voting for these fuckwits?

Making a mistake listening to people talk bollocks and badly advised you about the law (Stonewall), might be understandable to a degree once.

But deciding to make the same mistake all over again just because you like the bad advice better than the actual law is unforgivable and makes you look incredibly stupid.

We don't most of them get on on the pr list vote

To take the example of Lorna Slater, I don't think she's ever won an election in a constituency and only became a Regional MSP through the List system. She was made a Junior Minister only through the Bute House agreement because of the SNP's desperation to hang on to power.

I think the amount of votes she's received in total is very, very small.

Who else is there?

I've never voted for any of them.

I despair of the calibre of our politicians. At the very least this is a prime opportunity for them to pull back from their previous positions and maintain their dignity.

Even looking at it cynically surely this isn't a vote winner?

“It’s very sad that the question of how trans people live their lives has become so toxic that the very people who represent them feel nervous about signing a letter like this.”

I wonder who made this debate toxic; it's a mystery! No association with the placards which threaten violence to women.

'Deeply concerned' over the feelings of eight trans identifying men, zero interest whatsoever in the actual safety or comfort of thousands of women.

We don't. Most of the MSPs that have signed are list MSPs.

As someone on Twitter has pointed out Maggie Chapman has signed, yet she was part of the committee that voted in the changes to the Holyrood toilet provisions. Supposedly a unanimous decision?!🙈🙈

Her vote will have been the price she paid for keeping her place on the committee after her comments about the sc

40% of those who have signed are staff of Green MSPs. No Green MSP has been directly elected, they all came through the additional member list.

So people keep voting for the Greens.

They may possibly agree with the gender fuckwittery.

Or they're Doing It For The Planet and don't know about the gender fuckwittery.

Or they do know but think it's a price worth paying for the sake of The Planet.

I’d vote Green if they focused on the environment and abandoned the GI idiocy.

And showed any sign of competence. I’m in Scotland where the Greens have been shambolic.

They even drive out competent people like Andy Wightman if they question the GI stance.

Well lorna slater got just over 6000 votes in a constituency that has 74000 voters and still got a seat due to pr, so as you see it only takes a few nieve idiots or gender zealots to get an idiot elected

Elaine Miller, should she try again.

I’ve written to ACH to express my dismay…again. Not that I expect it will do much but needed to register my frustration.

Elaine Miller is wonderful, and I'd vote for her in a heartbeat if she stood in my constituency. But the dearth of ability in the Scottish Parliament needs far more than one person to fix it!

If anyone needs a handy cheatsheet of who not to vote for at the next election, here's the full list of MSP's who signed the bloody thing.

The National (ptui!) have gone with a ridiculously misleading headline which implies that 'almost 50 MSP's and their staff' signed it. It's very 2 + 2 = 5.

Article in the Times about it:

It really is a shame the SNP can't channel this much energy into sorting out crime, homelessness, unemployment, education, the NHS and the cost of living crisis. Focusing on a tiny minority of men who want in to female facilities while the country falls apart is just a disgrace.
