Colin Smythe MSP

[KvotheTheBloodless]

Anyone remember the "TWAW", carrying the trans flag at Pride MSP? He's been arrested for child abuse images and hiding a hidden camera in the loo at Holyrood. FFS. 🤷‍♀️

Do we know which loo yet?

I heard it on R4 this morning. Nasty little pervert.

But that never happens.

This’ll be one of the threads on this board that the scolders who pop up to argue that women benefit from having males in our single sex spaces will be conspicuously absent from.

I'm shocked. This has never happened before

He doesn't really believe TWAW but by forcing women to accept TW in their spaces and then any man who self ID's as a woman he can shoehorn himself and the other perverts in. 🤷‍♀️

Of course he has. FFS. This is one of the many reasons I started that thread about being despairing at being Scottish. Jesus. Hiding in plain sight much? What with him, the LGBT youth Scotland paedophile(s!) and the sex abuser pictured with Nicola sturgeon who actually used Edinburgh rape crisis with vulnerable women, I can see how deeply embedded it is with the Scottish politicians. I feel like there's no hope.

well I'm shocked that a man who has vocally and aggressively supported a self ID policy which would have the practical impact of enabling men to go into whichever women's spaces they felt like

should turn out to be a massive walking red flag

Was it a women’s toilet?

No - hope we’ll find out soon, though.

Just warming up my surprised face. I’m a bit slower to get going these days.

Is this why the Scottish Parliament suddenly announced they will go back to single sex loos? So that when this news broke they could say they’ve already implemented it?

I've just read on the BBC news site that he had already been suspended by the Labour Party for having indecent images of children. I assume that investigation brought this up.

According to the Telegraph, male and female toilets. This making his campaigning for access to women's toilets a success.

Correct. And not just him.

Would never have suspected this for a sec. That thing that never happens just keeps happening doesn't it ?🤬

won't they all crowd in to say that since creepy men can film us anyway we should let creepy men go wherever they want?

Some could. Some do seem to be thick enough to believe that argument could be their trump card.

Well I, for one, blame JKR.

Edgy, Betty - I hope everyone gets your cross-thread reference

😆😆Lol - love this comment!

Unsurprising. I am presuming these toilets are fully enclosed so it gives you the privacy to set cameras up undisturbed? It will be unusual if not, so I am interested in the set up.

I am slightly surprised if they don’t regularly sweep the toilets for cameras in somewhere like a parliament building. Safeguarding is about prevention.

I just heard this on the lunchtime news and thought - that name sounds familiar - and came here to check. You lot don’t disappoint. But the be kind brigade, they do, quite consistently.

Yeah but, if there were a load of men in the women's they might have caught this man in the women's? Never thought of that did you?

I say! Who could have predicted this?

It's getting to the point that anyone who wants to stand as an MSP should automatically be disqualified from doing so.

They could try a compulsory month long stint for names out of a hat from the eligible population, then another lot the next month. Like 5th century Athens. It can't be less effective or more dodgy than the current lot.
