Yes that which should belong to Scots to be governed by Scots. Someone should explain to this arsehole that Scotland was an independent country long before it fell into ownership of the union.

phart Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Margaret Lynch it seems to be. Whoever that is, the whole thing seems convoluted and requires reading a 25 page document written last March, then 2 wings articles about the only possible interpetation of a single line in the article meaning that stonewall wants the age of consent to be 10, even though they have explicitly said they don't. #Stuanon seems an appropriate hashtag. As they are the person who made the huge logical leap. Edited April 11, 2021 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then suddenly leaping to the conclusion that all these orginisations want to lower the age of consent to 10. Seems a weird leap but I guess folk think they see jesus in burnt toast so you see what you want to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes down to what adolescent means. Common definition does seem to start at 10 year olds. Just type it into google and you will see what I mean. There is something else in that article which does not get discussed but if I am reading it correct it is quite astonishing as well. (I am struggling to believe I am reading it correctly but apparently I am.) Some SNP folk are really starting to resemble Alan. Spending all your time finding ways to attack the only other full-on independence party is a very strange look a few weeks before an election.

exile Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The SNP disowned Scotland's biggest pro indy blogger, and he got mad at them. Will Alba disown Wings too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Bit of a mealy mouthed statement from Stonewall. They might not be 'campaigning for it' but they apparently do want it. "Because while Stonewall Scotland have indignantly denied the facts revealed in this Wings story from earlier today, at no point do they actually deny being members of the ILGA, or that the ILGA signed a “Feminist Declaration” calling for the abolition of the age of consent for adolescents (people aged 10-19). In other words, any of the actual things they’re ostensibly denying. And that’s because those things are – indisputably, empirically – completely true. The document the ILGA, of which Stonewall Scotland is a member, signed last March makes an explicit demand that governments worldwide must ”end the criminalization and stigmatization of adolescents’ sexuality”" Here is the other quote that caught my eye: ”Eliminate all laws and policies that punish or criminalize same-sex intimacy, gender affirmation, abortion, HIV transmission non-disclosure and exposure, or that limit the exercise of bodily autonomy, including laws limiting legal capacity of adolescents, people with disabilities or other groups to provide consent to sex” Anything else jump out at you reading that? WTF. Edited April 11, 2021 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does seem to have a sway with a number of people. Saw the same with Trump with folk drinking bleach and stockpiling hydroxychloroquine and the like. It all turned out to be nonsense of course but no reflection why they got duped they just move onto the next thing their leader tells them to talk about.

ParisInAKilt Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 It’s not homophobic to criticise or question Stonewall or any other LGBT group when it’s warranted and constructive. It’s a poorly written paragraph that’s resulted in this, whether it’s advocating criminal activity is unclear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
