| 9. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Mon 1st Apr 2024. 14:02 So BBC going full tilt on this, what is the difference in comparison to the rest of the UK? Meanwhile Sunak brings in law against being homeless, not controversial? Apparently DROSS voted for the Westminster version of the "Hate crime " Bill.🤔 Reply |
| 10. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 1st Apr 2024. 14:04 There`s almost no difference whatsoever. People read way too much into these bills. If you want to read into these things that much then consider that King Charles could bring the whole country to a halt if he wanted. Reply |
| 11. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 16:12 McCoist in the Daily Mail today crying that this means he can`t sing songs with his pals about murdering Catholics and having sex with the Pope. Beggars belief. Reply |
| 12. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 16:45 And good old JKRowling, reported in Northumbria for her transgender hate! Who would have thought that England has the almost same legislation, Sunak obviously doesn`t know!🤔🥳 Reply |
| 13. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 17:02 I don`t know what Rowling`s end game is. She`s not a fan of trans rights but all she seems to do is draw more attention to it. Even Graham Linehan has cooled his jets although that may simply be because he`s "cancelled". Reply |
| 14. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 17:30 Jake it beggars belief because that isn`t what McCoist said. His statement was probably still inaccurate as I don`t think he actually understands what this law prohibits. I can`t be sure though as I don`t understand what it prohibits either. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 15. Author: red-star-par Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 17:32 I think it`s good JK Rowling is sticking her head above the parapet about this issue. People should be free to say whatever they want. Everyone else is too scared to question it because of the aggression from the trans community and the threat of being cancelled, which is shutting down any debate. Even stating simple biological facts is being shut down Reply |
| 16. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 17:43 The issue is it`s a fine line. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when they start forcing it, it becomes very unpleasant. There is nothing preventing people saying what they please but they need to be aware that being racist, homophobic, sexist etc is a crime and has been for decades. The thing everyone latches onto his trans people. 99.9% of trans people understand that most don`t understand. They understand you might misgender them or even refuse to use their preferred pronouns, and they don`t care. The issue for me is the tiny proportion of Vicky Pollards giving it "Oh my god I can`t believe you just said that!". Fortunately, the hate crime bill won`t benefit them in the slightest despite what rags like the Daily Mail claim. Idiots like McCoist seem to confuse what can be "banter" with blatant bigotry. It`s one of the many reasons I`m not a fan of West Central Scotland. The bigotry is so engrained in them that they don`t even see it. Literally just a few weeks ago our Prime Minister urgently flew back to warn us all about hatred and now he`s standing by writer who has given up on books to spend her day trolling trans people on twitter. The problem with the likes of Rowling is they lower themselves to the level of the people they supposedly dislike. Edited to add that no-one is preventing anyone stating biological facts. Police Scotland have covered this. Being honest, some people are just looking for things to be offended by 😂 Post Edited (Tue 02 Apr 17:45) Reply |
| 17. Author: alwaysaPar Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 18:40 Come on Jake , you`ve just offended a large number of people in West Central Scotland by tagging them along with the idiots who spout bigoted banter . 😉🤣 Reply |
| 18. Author: jake89 Date: Tue 2nd Apr 2024. 18:48 It`s okay, you can still state facts and I`m happy to pull out the figures displaying how sectarian and vile west Central Scotland is...and that`s just the reported stuff 😉 Reply |
| 19. Author: Parboiled Date: Wed 3rd Apr 2024. 10:25 I see JK Rowling has been amusing herself by winding up various *wifies” with dangly bits, some of them convicted sex offenders, rapists, also telly presenters “female” athletes etc I guess JK will be disappointed to hear she won’t be arrested as cops say no crime committed, but..is her name on file now, like Murdo Fraser, and will she go to town on that?

| 20. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 3rd Apr 2024. 11:29 Rowling is just diluting her point with nonsense like this. Her legitimate concern is about sexual offences but she`s muddying this with linking to trans rights. Just my opinion but there shouldn`t be specific rights for particular groups. Everyone follows the same rules and you get the same punishment whether male, female, other. We see it all the time that women get lighter sentencing than men yet no-one seems fussed by that. Reply |
