'Shut Down Sandyford' - Says Tavistock Whistleblower

Dr David Bell calls for the Sandyford gender clinic in Glasgow to be shut down as its services are based on a similar model to the discredited Tavistock clinic in London which is being closed because of safety concerns.

What do SNP ministers have to say?

Tavistock, Sandyford and the SNP (August 02, 2022)


SNP ministers ought to be leading a public debate about the reasons for closing the controversial Tavistock clinic and its implications for Scotland. 

Instead the SNP Government is marching in step with gender ideologues who are prepared to take huge risks with the care and safety of young people.

Alex Massie's column on the subject is spot on:

"Drugs whose safety is considered unproven for English teenagers — and sometimes for children as young as ten — will continue to be available in Scotland. Moreover, far from being in tune with international best practice, Scottish policy on trans issues is increasingly out of step with developments in other countries. 

"In 2020 Finland revised its guidelines for treating gender-questioning children. It prioritises psychological evaluation and treatment over medical interventions. Last year Sweden followed suit, largely restricting the prescription of puberty-blockers and hormones to children save in exceptional circumstances. 

"According to Sweden’s National Board of Health and Welfare, for most patients the risks of hormone treatment outweigh their potential benefits and, consequently, most young people will be better served by better mental health support. France has issued similar recommendations."

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? 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

Not As Nice As She Looks

Nicola Sturgeon's is gaining a reputation as a nasty bully after her angry response to Ash Regan's resignation over the Scottish Government's support for legislation which will allow men to declare themselves to be women. The Sunday Times reports on   the ugly spin operation that's been underway since Ash Regan decided to stand up for the views of her constituents by opposing Sturgeon's barmy Self-ID bill. Team Sturgeon is well versed in the black arts of spin of course - someone within her inner circle deliberately leaked the highly confidential internal report into allegations of harassment against Alex Salmond to the Daily Record, but the leaker has never been found.   https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/out-of-touch-first-minister-blindsided-by-the-rebel-msps-t63bqtp60 Out-of-touch first minister blindsided by the rebel MSPs By John Boothman - The Sunday Times It has long been a complaint of some SNP MSPs that Nicola Sturgeon does not turn up for internal group m
