Have I missed something?
I'm out of the country at the moment, but I seemed to have missed the coverage of Scotland's politicians condemning the ugly rent-a-mob tactics of trans activists at Edinburgh University.
Has Humza Yousaf or any of Edinburgh's SNP politicians spoken up in support of free speech and freedom of assembly?
After the screening of, "Adult Human Female," at Edinburgh Uni is cancelled, a woman attempts to enter the lecture theatre where it was due to be shown, but is blocked by demonstrators. She tells them, "My rights are being denied by you. I want in there." @STVNews pic.twitter.com/NCIiLmyEoU
