Glasgow MSPs and the GRA - Patrick Harvie


I've had to write to Patrick Harvie again, as one of my Glasgow MSPs, because  Patrick has not responded to two separate letters I sent him regarding potential changes to the Gender Recognition Act. 

Dear Patrick Harvie

Consultation on Potential Changes to the Gender Recognition Act

I refer to my original letter dated 19 November 2021 and my reminder letter dated 7 December 2021 regarding potential changes to the Gender Recognition Act.

I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards



Mark Irvine

Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
