I intend lodging the following complaint with Police Scotland over the woeful policing of the For Women Scotland rally at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 4 September 2025. Trans activists are their own worst enemies and the ugly, harassment on display outside Holyrood last Thursday helps to explain why public opinion has turned so sharply against their bully-boy tactics.  Here's a photo of Let Women Speak supporters on the east side of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. And a photo of Tom Harlow and his fellow 'disrupters' corralled on the west side of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. Jo Farrell Chief Constable Police Scotland Dear Chief Constable Farrell Policing of For Women Scotland Rally At The Scottish Parliament I wish to register a formal complaint over the policing of the For Women Scotland (FWS) rally at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday 4 September 2025. For some unexplained reason the police officers on duty allowed a counter-protest to set up right next to the spot ...

Baroness Emma Nicholson's elegant put down of the Met Police is a joyous thing to read - powerful, witty and well informed. What's become clear is that a sinister network of trans activists has been operating across UK police forces - in Scotland, the Met, Leicestershire and Surrey where a prominent activist (Stephen Ireland) was jailed recently for raping a vulnerable 12-year-old. So well done Emma Nicholson because these sinister networks are an affront to democracy - they need to be rooted out and closed down.  

I didn't hear back from Zarah Sultana, sadly, so I presume I'm right to say Jeremy Corbyn's new party supports the nonsense of self-ID and men declaring they have magically 'become women'. Which means of course they must support the trans zealots who regularly try to disrupt events where women gather to discuss their rights - and believe men are entitled to invade women's single sex spaces.

I noticed this misogynist prick Tom Harlow at yesterday's For Women Scotland (FWS) rally at the Scottish Parliament. Harlow was up to no good harassing the women who had gathered to show their support for FWS and their right to single sex spaces - he did  the same at a recent Let Women Speak event Glasgow. A noisy group of trans crazies were allowed to hold a counter protest at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery -  Harlow & Co tried to disrupt things by playing loud music in an attempt to drown out the speakers But this failed miserably because the Glasgow police, unlike their Edinburgh counterparts, ensured both groups were kept well apart from each other - 100 yards or so away. I took some photos of the two groups - I was also asked by a police officer not to get too close to Harlow and his chums, a request I was happy to comply with  Yet in Edinburgh the police allowed this bampot Harlow to get up close to the FWS attendees and harass people with his ridiculousl...

'No scrutiny' of plan that gave senior council staff £1m pay-out https://t.co/bRmUMptU2d — BBC Scotland News (@BBCScotlandNews) September 4, 2025 SNP led Glasgow City Council paid huge sums of public money to senior officials without any oversight from elected councillors. A report from the Accounts Commission, Scotland's public spending watchdog, says there was a lack of scrutiny, transparency and accountability in a process for paying officials hugely generous 'golden goodbyes'. Now this was apparent months ago, but the Accounts Commission is only now publishing its report. In truth there should be sanctions against Council leaders who failed to notice that the entire senior management were leaving at the same time - all with big payoffs and/or early access to their pensions. The whole business stinks to high heaven.   'No scrutiny' of plan that gave senior council staff £1m pay-out Annemarie O'Donnell was one of five senior staff who departed between ...

Nicola Sturgeon and Angela Rayner are terrible hypocrites who take care to limit their tax liability, also known as 'tax avoidance', while roundly condemning other people who do exactly the same thing. 

  The Scottish Sun wins the internet with a great front page  mocking the loony tune decision of the Met Police to arrest Father Ted creator Graham Linehan - at the behest of some crazed trans activist.
