Not sure I agree this needed to be separate, but it'll happen for sure by 2025, and probably sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had wanted to protect women, they would have put it in this bill and then make later an advanced law. They obviously wanted to make it clear that the rights of women are lesser than the rights of some minorities. Shame on them. It was always clear to some that the fighting alliance for equal rights of women, religious minorities and the queer community had some faultlines. Now it is clear (again) that women always stand alone and are just expected to take it. I stop writing now, i am really getting very angry.

Shame on them. If 'they' had wanted to make that clear then 'they' wouldn't be publicly stating that the reason protection for women is being taken separately is because 'they' think that misogyny needs even greater measures to deal with than this act offers. Like, even if you don't believe that, if 'you're on your own' was what the Scottish lawmakers were trying to say then they wouldn't be sending out those messages. (I'm not really sure who 'they' is, in your eyes. Given 'some minorties' plus the following it really just feels like you're looking for a reason to be angry at other minorities, which is weird because it isn't any minority responisble here- Scottish Parliament is mostly white men and women. Like I'd honestly understand the frustration at women being left out here, taken on its own, but who are you even blaming I don't get it). 9 hours ago, JoannaL said: It was always clear to some that the fighting alliance for equal rights of women, religious minorities and the queer community had some faultlines.

The Anti-Targ Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It does make me wonder how a person can be convicted of hate speech towards a white police officer under current laws and yet those laws not be sufficient to protect minority races, trans people and women from the same sort of hate speech.

Werthead Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 4 minutes ago, The Big Stink said: What's a cultural Christian? I believe someone who celebrates Easter and Christmas as a cultural holiday without the religious connotations. I.e. giving presents on Christmas Day or eating Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday but not going to any church service celebrating them. Probably the majority, if not overwhelming majority, of people now (including people of other faiths). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Dawkins says he likes some of the cultural artifacts that Christianity produced such as cathedrals and art, plus I guess some of the philosophical and cultural influences on general western society. I don’t think there is anything particularly wrong in anything he said. He’s also been consistent in this opinion for decades.

Lot of speculation that Gullis is one of them, based on Richard Tice (Reform party leader) telling him on social media to stfu or he’d reveal embarrassing info on him. A joke circulating on Twitter is that every MP shoukd disclose what dating app they’re on (Tinder, Grindr etc) as contacting them on it seems to be the only way to get a response.

Derfel Cadarn Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I’ve no idea what my insurance is… I passed my test 4 years ago (the Monday before Lockdown 1). My wife added me to hers, and checks the comparison sites every year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
