is there a thread for FWS / Prisons?

[weegielass]

Its live today on the scottish tribunals website and lasting for three days. Easy to join and good audio quality. I think that's marion on screen in the background. She seemed rather amused at the judge trying to understand the definitions.

Wouldn't surprise me if several of the folx reading about Serenity suddenly found themselves coughing, shuffling their feet and feeling an urge to change the subject.

It could go either way - nobody has replied to that, yet. I'm finding the suspense to be challenging.

Is there a name for a "see what gets posted on Reddit next" junkie? I might be turning into one.

Thanks for the link

"We are ruled by the intellectual fashions of intellectually shallow elites.

Ours is a midwitocracy: government by dilettantes. At the apex sits chief midwit John Swinney."

This is a great way to put it, it's what it comes down to, it sums up the whole of the Omnicause really. 👍

Surprise, surprise, it's been removed by the mods.

The struggle is real.

Woman assessed as high risk ends up in Womens Prison

Man assessed as high risk ends up in Mens Prison

She should be sent off to the Mens Prison just so that men can be sent to the Womens Prison......

Thats TRA logic 🤣

Good article.

'Swinney’s definition of a woman: an adult human photo-op.

The SNP doesn’t need to stand with the Waspi women. They’re the government. If they believe Scottish women have been unfairly treated over the pension age equalisation, SNP ministers can hand over the money tomorrow.'

Yep.

I'm so tired of the SNP trying to sell this reheated grievance schtick.

Run the fucking country. Stop posturing and swerving hard decisions. Start fucking listening.

They cant and wont, though. Criticism bounces off their echo chamber.

Someone else has posted this:

This individual is a rapist and should not be held in a woman's prison. Can we PLEASE stop trying to join the side of literal predators, pedophiles and rapists? Think about how that makes their victims feel. This person is a danger to women and girls and him being put into a men's prison is exactly how the system should work.

How long until that gets deleted too? He's a top 1% poster on that subreddit too.

BBC’s article on ScotGov finally coughing up the money they owed FWS

Ministers pay out nearly £400k after losing Supreme Court gender case - BBC News https://share.google/atnpp4m6PRVIU3LIl

Hallebloodylujah.

From a comment on the FWS twitter post -

'£766,498.80 spent by @scotgov on the two FWS judicial reviews. Add in the costs of challenging the s35 order and the Scottish Government has spent a total of £1,136,973.04 in failed attempts to remove women's rights from law.' (my bold)

Just think of all the pressing needs that money could have been spent on instead. 😬

Save the comment and link, it will be very useful when the wailing starts when Phillipson finally lets someone drag the EHRC guidance out from under her bottom about 'But We Can't Afford Third Spaces'

When it comes to trans, apparently there's a bottomless money pit to fuck around with.

The Scottish government's cost for this case so far are in

I'd like my money back. They don't speak for me the bastards.

Meanwhile my grandsons nursery is asking for craft supply donations for Easter things.
