That was my thought as well. None of his own descriptors indicate this man was appropriate to be given roles or responsibilities of any kind. Let alone a role to do with young vulnerable teens or adults. Where was the Green leadership on this and why wasn’t basic safeguarding followed? It’s as if trans becomes some sort of invisibility cloak hiding highly questionable behaviour.

I agree, it is all becoming a bit "Fifty shades of Aimee Challenor".

Its not even just leaving them to it, the Young Greens appointed this man as their EDI officer, somebody made him a Scout leader, and he was apparently involved in organising Stirling Pride. There was also a smaller organisation that he appears to have been involved in running.

From what I can tell these were positions of some responsibility and authority.

Yes it's nuts.

The concept of inclusion has a lot to answer for.

Something I've noticed is that when I was at school, we were taught a kind of framework of human rights. The basics were things like right to life, to free association, movement, etc. And to political protest and belief and expression. Other goods exist but are built on top of that framework.

The students my kids age get none of this. The first principles they seem to be taught are diversity (of things like race, gender, sexuality,) inclusion, kindness, safety. Those are the first principles in their world, and they are unmitigated goods.

'On Wednesday night organisers for Pride said they were appalled hearing about the conviction and said Connolly had been removed from the group.
A spokesman said: “This is an extremely serious crime and we are shocked and deeply saddened that someone connected to our organisation has been involved in such offences.
“The individual has been permanently removed from all involvement with Stirling Pride today, as soon as we became aware of the conviction.
“We want to reassure our community that the volunteer’s duties did not involve access to safeguarding information, regulated activity, or any role that would place them in contact with children or vulnerable adults.
“Their involvement with the organisation was supervised and did not include positions of responsibility.”
The university said its policy is to not comment on individual cases.
A spokesman added: “In instances where students face criminal proceedings, they will be subject to the university’s disciplinary process.”
A spokesperson for the Scottish Greens said: We were not aware of legal proceedings until today and have immediately suspended this individual from membership and all roles within the party.”'

Yes.

Shallow. Dumbed down. The bottom line with no context, background or understanding. The CBeebies version.

And it's been useful and helpful to a manipulative agenda without good faith to do it this way. I am not talking about activism either. This was government, back as far as the Blair agenda that thought you could just use teachers and compulsory content to brainwash kids into right think.

There are a couple of new episodes of 'Storyville', on BBC I player, which document how this kind of 'social justice' and 'identity' focus came to dominate, and terrorise, university campuses in the U.S.

It is a hard watch because it is so emotionally fraught - yet very instructive on the time-line of its origins, its theoretical under-pinnings, and on the various disputes and legal actions taken by 'accused' professors and lecturers at various educational establishments over the years.

Shortshriftandlethal · 05/05/2026 09:07

Basically everything became about 'activism'......and every profession and body was subjected to it. No longer about being taught the basic principles of liberalism and how to think about things critically. In fact the very word 'critical' was hijacked and applied to each form of activism. 'Critical Social Justice', 'Critical Race Theory' etc.

AI overview:

"Critical social justice (CSJ) is an ideological framework viewing society as deeply stratified by systemic power, privilege, and oppression based on identity groups like race, gender, and sexuality. Rooted in critical theory, it aims to dismantle these structures through activism, focusing on equity rather than equality of opportunity.

Core Tenets and Characteristics

Structural Focus: It emphasizes that oppression is embedded in societal systems, not just individual prejudice.

Identity Politics: Society is viewed through the lens of marginalized versus privileged groups (e.g., oppressor vs. oppressed).

Knowledge as Power: CSJ argues that marginalized groups possess "special knowledge" regarding their oppression, which should not be challenged.

Action-Oriented: It promotes active engagement in challenging existing societal structures to achieve social change.

Distinction from Liberalism: Unlike traditional liberalism which emphasizes individualism and shared humanity, CSJ focuses on group identity.

Common Issues and Critiques

Cancel Culture/Self-Censorship: Critics argue that CSJ can create an environment that encourages self-censorship, with, for example, students and professionals fearing penalties for challenging its tenets.

Ideological Polarization: Some argue it divides people into strict groups, potentially hindering open discourse.

Scientific Validity: It is sometimes criticized for being pseudoscientific or failing to align with empirical evidence, favoring lived experience over traditional objective analysis.

Impact on Education: Debates often focus on whether CSJ-related concepts are appropriate for school curricula and if they encourage ideological indoctrination.

CSJ differs from mainstream social justice by moving beyond the idea of equality (treating everyone the same) towards equity (redistributing resources and power) to reach specific outcomes"

SlackJawedDisbeliefXY · 05/05/2026 09:27

From the Courier article, it's interesting that Connolly can be both

... a fierce critic of the Westminster government, advocating for Scottish Independence and re-entry into the European Union.
and
... appeared not to understand what charges were being admitted.

The former seems to suggest that he is able to carry an argument, the latter cognitive impairment.

Yes, and even counselling and psychotherapy - with people being encouraged to identify their 'oppressor' and cut them out, rather than being enabled to develop emotional resillience.

Yes, this is really important.

Older people, when they hear schools want to teach "critical thinking" are imagining things like logical fallacies and argumentation, maybe some epistemology, debate clubs, some (non-partisan) historical content, statistics.

Younger teachers are not thinking that at all, they mean teaching an explicit, partisan set of ideological positions.

And it's the latterthat schools are doing now. Not the former.

Well, he may have been a fierce critic etc without understanding wtf he was talking about.

Connolly's LinkedIn still says he is the EDI officer for the Young Greens.

Roblox game creation caught my eye there... that app has a reputation for grooming and some pretty unsavoury games aimed at quite young kids.

Just catching up after a few days away and started reading this thread. It caused me to wonder how many images I have seen of Nicola Sturgeon cosied up to a person who is later found to be acting criminally. We must be up to double figures now?

Speaking of which, here's a recent photo of Nicola. I think she might have done better to leave him early on in the 12 year period when he allegedly used £460K of SNP funds to buy a campervan, mega-expensive sports cars, expensive presents for his wife and her family, etc etc. The trial should be interesting.

I'm confused - the media says he's been convicted but is also on remand - so there are new charges presumably?

What disability is he claiming to have that requires an electric wheelchair?

He went into the wheelchair shortly after he started chemotherapy a few years ago.

SquirrelHash · 06/05/2026 15:16

It is thought by those who know him in real life that the wheelchair is most likely not necessary.

Its not even just leaving them to it, the Young Greens appointed this man as their EDI officer, somebody made him a Scout leader, and he was apparently involved in organising Stirling Pride. There was also a smaller organisation that he appears to have been involved in running.

From what I can tell these were positions of some responsibility and authority.

He has been disowned by The Greens, he had a hissy fit and left the SNP. The group Neuroclacks has been disowned and confirmed defunct by it’s original charitable company sponsors (he says otherwise!). He has been disowned by Stirling Pride who downplay his initial involvement and claim he was never unsupervised.
As most people know, me included, chemotherapy certainly doesn’t, as a rule of thumb, mean the person needs a wheelchair. His Tik Tok posts give plenty of grounds for scepticism on that score, in my opinion.

He always has a reason for failures and for having to leave education and employment. He left Tesco- it was their fault apparently. He left college in York. He wasn’t supported. His illness made him unfit for work, according to what he says, so he left a course involving work and university. Now, many people get on with work and education, when undergoing chemo/ living with an apparently incurable illness. it seems he was back at university but, as he has been remanded in custody, one can assume he isn’t able to keep up with his studies. I am sure a further education establushment would be very worried about the safeguarding of others/ the potential use of any IT systems not to mention concerns over useage of university premises by this person.
Yet he is able to go out to supermarkets, out to (now curtailed) LGBT, Green and Neuro group activities abd hold posts. He also runs a Roblox group/Bloxmart and he describes having “employees”! You only need to read his own words to see these are major safeguarding red flags flashing re his Roblox activities. He has a car. I would presume it us under mobility?? If you look hard enough you will find social media posts and even websites by those claiming to have known him and those comments had me, personally, worried. He has, in his very own words, tried to negate the importance of the offences for which he is charged and the offence to which he pleaded guilty.

According to their own words, it us tge fault of the NHS in England (he is an English Scottish nationalist who left the SNP.

There is nothing available on his own SM feed, or on his website (!) or on anywhere else to indicate he has been formally diagnosed as Transexual or has had GRS or been prescribed ostrogen by a registered doctor. I make no further comment on this and I do nit imply anything.

AS to why I call this person “he”. Anybody that I knew was under the proper auspices of an official Gender Clinic, who i know or believe has been dignosed transexual, who is genuinely living a “rea; life test” leading up to surgery, I would call “she”. By the way, I know genuine TS people who are not left-wingers and live in the real world, who are appalled by self-identification and the TG umbrella term and happily say they are biologically male or female,annd are appalled by biological males trying to selfishly compete in women's professional-level sports
i also use the pronoun he because he is a sexual offender who admitted guilt to having 4 Class B and C images which had male sexual parts thereon. By the way, he now wants the court to let him change his plea as he didn’t mean
to say he was guilty (yes,really . It seems that, according to him, that probably wasn’t his fault either. By his own words, he says that at 17 he was told he had thd mental maturity of a 12 year-old. This oerson is presently in a male-only prison on remand.

if you look at his Tik Tok he gives a video lecture as to why he was targeted by malign forces out to extinguish his noble light in this world. It’s a conspiracy, he seems to have once thought? I kid you not. If you have a look at his official website and the related Roblox and Moderley/Bloxmart websites any right-minded oerson, in my humble opinion, would be appalled, worried and have their hair-stand on end.
i am not on Discord - there have been rumours but who knows what would be found on his Discord feed?
in conclusion, I think he is vulnerable, has serious personal issues and he really worries me as to safeguarding of others. He is certainly, in my humbke opinion, very arrogant and entitled and I think he comes across as delusional.
Yet, nobody forced him to plead guilty to the Class B and C images offence. By his own admission, he committed this sexual image offence and, ergo, is a sexual offender.
He still, according to the oress, faces other charges, he is remanded for breaching bail conditions and awaits sentencing . So let’s see shall we?

SquirrelHash · 06/05/2026 20:23

He is trans. He has a gender recognition certificate. He seems to get his hormones from abroad, or at least privately, some of them, but is anti-establishment and mistrustful of the NHS.

The assessment of mental age did take place.

His activities on Roblox are concerning.

His car is mobility, but it was originally self-funded while he was still working.

He was declared unfit for work by Lloyds Bank Group after an extensive assessment.

He does have cancer, but has refused further treatment other than for symptoms like steroids and painkillers.

He is deeply troubled and complex.

ArabellaScott · 13/05/2026 13:59

'Sheriff Neil Bowie ruled the management of prisoners was the responsibility of the SPS and that no information had been provided regarding the inmate’s medical situation.'

I cant see how the SPS could procure prescription drugs someone buys from abroad, tbh.
