| 3. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Fri 10th Oct 2025. 23:52 She`s not changed her name again has she?? So what happens to the Alba Party now? I haven`t followed them that closely but it seems that they never really developed from a party conceived to satisfy Alex Salmond`s ego that attracted nationalists that the SNP were quite happy to see go, mainly because they disagreed with the leadership on the approach to independence or on the gender identity issue. What is the different direction in which Alba is moving that Ash cites as the reason for her quitting? Reply |

Sounds like a good idea to be fair, but I also read an article on the BBC with interviews with female workers in that industry who said it may push things further underground and make things even less safe for them, plus make it harder for them to get work I suppose.

| 8. Author: DBP Date: Sat 11th Oct 2025. 20:15 I as someone with a daughter, If someone said to me they want to improve the lives of women, I’d naturally assume the focus would be on education, opportunity, child poverty, ‘cultural’ concerns within some communities, rights in the workplace, rights over their own bodies, laws preventing forced marriage, free sanitary requirements, safe spaces, stopping trafficking, tackling domestic abuse and providing support for those escaping, stronger laws relating to stalking, drinks spiking , revenge porn etc, investing in education on consent, and many other things before of assume she meant stopping two consenting adults - in fact if you mentioned prostitution I’d probably assume she would want safe spaces as opposed to pushing it back into more dangerous territory Post Edited (Sat 11 Oct 20:34) Reply |
