101. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 6th Sep 2025. 11:58 This accusation of `earning a fortune` only seems to be made against SNP MSPs (and MPs). Most of the other MSPs are on the `list` and don`t even have a constituency they are responsible to. Reply |

104. Author: jake89 Date: Sat 6th Sep 2025. 12:58 What gender confusion is that? Are there examples of issues in gender beyond the ridiculous NHS Fife situation? Reply |

107. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 6th Sep 2025. 23:24 Which case is that? If there is one then I`m surprised the media aren`t all over it. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |

109. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sun 7th Sep 2025. 09:43 Batting for the opposition? No idea what that is supposed to mean. Nevertheless, having googled that case LA I found numerous articles on it from the likes of the BBC, Daily Mail, etc and, I`m going out on a limb here, the reason that it hasn`t got as much coverage as the NHS fife case is receiving is that the court case doesn`t start until October. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
110. Author: jake89 Date: Sun 7th Sep 2025. 10:06 Dandy Warhol, Sat 6 Sept 16:10 Where would I find details of the others in Scotland? Tried Google and I`m struggling. As far as I`m aware, Scots Law is following UK and EU law in terms of trans concerns so I`m struggling to see where the SNP come in. The GRA has been dropped so it can`t be that. Reply |

Author: NMCmassive Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 11:58 AdamAntsParsStripe, Sat 6 Sep 11:57 The same way as a competent leader managed to get support and push for an independence referendum the first time. If thereās enough support, weāll get independence but if Holyrood looks like a basket case, weāve got no chance. COYP Reply |
112. Author: NMCmassive Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 12:11 jake89, Sat 6 Sep 12:48 1 Hate crime and Public order act 2024 2 Gender Recognition Act Reforms 3 Scrapping the Marine Protection Plan 4 Stonewall funding - which led to the removal of words like āmotherā from policies 5 Deposit Return Scheme Iāll stop at 5 but I could keep going. Just so youāre aware, a total of 7 transgender women were housed in female only prisons. 1 of which we know was guilty of rape. The other of sexually assaulting a 10 year old girl in a supermarket toilet and filming 12 year old girls in another incident. Iām sure someone could troll through court records or something and find out about the other 5 but the 2 we know about are bad enough. Only took me about 2 minutes to find that out.

114. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 13:35 I think the SNP should be pushing the argument that the UK is not a voluntary union and the present set-up is a denial of democracy. I haven`t heard a unionist politician give a satisfactory answer to this question anytime they`ve been asked about it. Yesterday the new Scottish Secretary, Douglas Alexander, could only repeat the old line that we had our chance in 2014! I think it`s a good point Swinney made last week that there are probably about a million voters now who weren`t eligible to vote then. Reply |
115. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 14:11 NMCmassive, Mon 8 Sept 12:11 1. The act that simply added the likes of religious bigotry to the list of behaviours people shouldn`t exhibit? 2. Wasn`t implemented 3. Scrapped because it became apparent it wouldn`t work? UK gov took the same approach. 4. From the maternity policy only but agree this was just silly. 5. Was cancelled by the UK government despite being successfully implemented in many EU countries no bother. After seeing it work in Germany not too long ago I`m even more frustrated that we don`t have this here, particularly when you can walk around Dunfermline and see discarded bottles everywhere. The rules on trans prisoners haven`t changed. They`ve been the same for years. Despite what the Daily Mail report, it`s up to the SPS to determine where a trans prisoner is best suited to go. There is an assessment prior to the decision. Reply |

117. Author: veteraneastender Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 18:45 Wasn`t it the UK Westminster government that punted the deposit scheme into the long grass over the inclusion of glass ? Reply |
118. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 23:07 veteraneastender, Mon 8 Sept 18:45 Yes, but I think the suggestion is it was a waste of time. My experience in Germany was you didn`t see bottles dumped on the street. If someone dropped one, a homeless person would have it in seconds. In the more touristy bits of Berlin some enterprising people would go around offering to dispose of your empty bottle for you. I used the machine a few times and they were really simple. Pop the bottles in one after the other and collect a receipt to scan at the till for your money back. No different to many years ago when Barrs bottles did a discount on return. I remember my older brother always being on the look out for bottles to take to the shop for sweets. Reply |
119. Author: NMCmassive Date: Mon 8th Sep 2025. 23:50 Lorna Slater knew from the start the UK Gov wouldnāt offer a UKIMA unless glass was excluded yet pursued it regardless. The DRS scheme was a good idea but the way they tried to implement it, was extremely poorly handled. They layered extra bureaucracy and costs onto businesses, dismissed practical concerns from businesses and consumer groups, insisted it was all going ahead even though their own people were warning of a āsevere lack of confidenceā in meeting the planned launch. How you can argue yourself into a position of being sued for huge amounts from multiple parties when the goal posts havenāt moved an inch is beyond me COYP Reply |
120. Author: NMCmassive Date: Tue 9th Sep 2025. 00:57 jake89, Mon 8 Sep 14:11 Youāve missed out loads and cherry picked there but I wouldnāt have expected anything less. 1. Thats not all it does but I think you already know that. 2. Thankfully it impacted on the equality act 3 with the same controversy š¤·š»āāļø 4 Stonewall were involved with the SPS gender identity and gender reassignment act 2014 act. Two more names for you - Paris Green and Tiffany Scott. 5 it wasnāt scrapped by the UK government. The SNP had loads of warning internally that it wasnāt viable but still pushed on regardless. Lined up retailers and waste management companies. Theyāre now being sued by multiple parties for huge amounts of money. Biffa are suing for Ā£166 million for losses from the deposit return scheme including Ā£55million ish spent on a new assets, specialist equipment and leased depots after receiving written assurances. Maybe have a look at what I was saying. A DRS scheme is a good idea but the SNP made a mess of it. What has the Daily Mail got to do with me making an extra point about the Scottish government and stonewall? COYP Reply |
