Facing scrutiny
Pink News flings its stones at the witch with its usual sloppy illiterate vacuous zeal.
The SNP’s new equalities convener is facing scrutiny for her support of anti-trans pressure group For Women Scotland and the author JK Rowling.
Scrutiny from this Pink News reporter at least. That’s so typical of this kind of shite – agent-free accusations of “scrutiny” – from whom? Besides you there at your laptop?
Elections for the party’s national executive committee on Monday (30 November) saw Lynne Anderson chosen by the party membership to serve as equalities convener, giving her a crucial say in SNP policy.
And Nick Duffy, the hack who wrote this, wants the party membership to un-give that crucial say. He has her under scrutiny, after all.
He tells us what she tweeted. Then he tells us what David Paisley tweeted about her. What more do we need to know? (I’m doing the same thing right now, but I’m not Pink News trying to take someone’s political appointment away.)
Then he shares a whole bunch of tweets from someone else, as if they were eyewitness testimony to a murder. Then –
Earlier this week, more than 700 people signed an open letter condemning a “crisis of inaction on transphobic abuse” in Scotland and demanding that Holyrood launch an independent inquiry into transphobia in political parties.
The signatories, who come from across Scotland’s political spectrum, came together to ask cisgender allies to “put pressure on all political parties to take internal complaints of transphobic abuse seriously”.
Therefore…Lynn Anderson should not be SNP equalities convenor? It’s less than convincing, yet this collection of irrelevant tweets was brandished in the Edinburgh LGBTI+ Facebook group as if it were a damning exposé, and then some feminist women were kicked out of the group for objecting, and all their comments were deleted.
It’s total obedience or nothing in this world.
“If I had been able to vote in that election, I’d have voted against the person that won. Therefore, the vote needs to be overturned.” Spoken like a goddamn Trump supporter.
They won’t like this.
“Campaigners in plea for ban on Scots kids being given puberty blockers after landmark ruling
The Sandyford Sexual Health Clinic has said it will still use the drugs, which stop the body from developing.”
Labour MSP Jenny Marra called for a ban on clinicians prescribing puberty blockers to children.
She said: “We’re administering life-altering drugs to children.”
The Scottish government won’t like this. They like to be more progressive than England, and the SNP, having once been business-minded and socially conservative, has tried to be more progressive and woke – which fits Sturgeon’s more left-leaning views. They will probably ignore it, or kick it down the road.
“Do we wait until someone has the time, money and courage to bring a court case, or take a policy decision to protect children until they’re old enough to make these decisions?”

And isn’t it bizarre that anyone sees this as more progressive and left-leaning.
