Does Scotland’s First Minister believe all trans women are women? Scottish Gov has just implemented an effective ban on trans prisoners who’ve committed sexual & violent crimes against women being moved to a women-only prison. @itvnews

Seriously with the sort of Authoritarian legislation the SNP/Green right wing coalition of fascist are now forcing through Parliament, any claims to Scotland being a nation of free thinkers and democrats are completely hollow.

I suppose the SNP MP’s could do a Sinn Feinn and withdraw from the ‘oppressor’ parliament at WM and return to their constituencies…..and also the SNP could call a fresh election at Holyrood with independence as their sole manifesto commitment. That would sort the matter out 😎
