Politicians, Bogus Complaints and Police Scotland

Police Scotland sent two detectives to interview a charity chief, Nicola Murray, who was reported for a 'hate crime' after standing up for women's rights and single sex spaces.

Now this is laughable, yet serious and highly disturbing at the same time - with echoes of Police Scotland's appalling treatment of Marion Millar last year.

Who exactly was behind this complaint and what was the basis of the complaint - given that the right to single sex spaces is protected under the Equality Act 2010? 

In my view the complaint was malicious, had no substance and represented a terrible waste of police time, but surely the same thought must have occurred to Police Scotland as well - in which case why did they give it the time of day?

Scotland's politicians including opposition parties ought to be insisting that Police Scotland explains what's going on.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
