At the same time, I can't disagree with this part of the judgement: "Prison does not lead me to believe this will contribute to your rehabilitation." Probably not, but picking up litter and painting over graffiti sure as shit won’t. He’d at least be unable to attack the girl again. And it makes a mockery of any claim about protecting girls/women.

dog-days Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Not disagreeing. The essential problem is with the prison system, its underfunding and its punitive (and corrupting and destructive) nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Nigel Lawson has died, I remember thinking he was reprehensible, now I look back with rose tinted glasses at a time when tories were merely bad, not downright cartoon villains like Braverman, Truss, JRM etc. Which Tyler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anti-Targ Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Suella Braverman may be a true believer, but she can't do much without the agreement of cabinet / parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 If i get one more email from a Tory MP's office about why we aren't serving their constituents appropriately i'm going to lose my fucking mind.

ljkeane Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Nicola Sturgeon's husband's been arrested in connection to an investigation into SNP finances. Perhaps there was a little more behind her stepping down than met the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been rumours about missing money and his involvement for several years https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65187823 Edited April 5 by Derfel Cadarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 The past three months could not have gone worse for the SNP. The GRR Bill was a fiasco, they’ve elected a poor leader, and now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on record as being no fan of Yousaf but electing either of the other two candidates would be one obvious way that the last three months could have gone considerably worse for the SNP. Also, I disagree that the GRR bill was a fiasco. It was the first time the SNP faced significant rebellion within their own ranks, and sure that's embarrassing, but that's just any given Thursday down in Westminster these days.

Heartofice Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 https://www.aol.co.uk/news/redefining-sex-definition-could-law-164938715.html Looks like the EHRC will clarify the equalities act so that sex = biological sex. This would probably have been easier for the SNP when it comes their GRR bill had this change happened earlier. Still wouldn't have made it a good bill and Sturgeon still would have had to answer questions of rapists in women's jails that would have done for her, but it would maybe have not meant there needed to be a challenge from the UK government. Having said that, Sturgeon almost certainly banked on there being a challenge which she would have only ever have seen as a positive for her main priority: Independence.

Bit chicken and egg isn’t it? If you look like a nonce you are more likely to act like one and the more you act like one the more you look like one.
