Some of the comments on X are just pure racism and/or Islamophobic. Having said that, it's incredibly naive of Humza. Any SNP leader is going to get shot at but they shouldn't be giving out the ammunition to their enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hypocrisy also of Unionists supporting KF because it suits them. They would have her under a bus in any other situation. But what on earth was Humza thinking . FFS .

Alibi Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 That hate crime bill looks like a horrific piece of work - although supported by all parties except the Tories, it will be the SNP that are criticised for it. Also I see the groups "protected" are quite limited, but of course "transgender" is one of the groups included. Be interesting to see what transpires (see what I did there?) on Monday when it comes into force. First to be the target of the wokerati probably JK Rowling.

It doesn't bother me one bit that Douglas Ross, Murdo Fraser, Wings think it's bad as the SNP can do no good in their eyes anyhow. It worries me more that the likes of Jo Cherry and Gareth Wardell are criticising it. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely no coincidence that the Tories are the only mainstream party to publicly stand against this and other pieces of controversial right-on woke nonsense; it's one of the fleetingly few situations where they're able to paint themselves as the 'good guys'. Other parties voted for the HCA, like Labour and the Lib Dems, but as you say, they won't be criticised or challenged about it. I see Ash Regan, on behalf of Alba, has been complaining about it too, despite inconveniently voting in favour of the bill while she was still a member of the SNP.

TDYER63 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 4 minutes ago, Goozay said: When she spoke about gay marriage during the leadership election I think she just said that as a christian she was against it, but I am sure she also followed this up by saying something like she respects democracy. That doesn’t sound like someone who is imposing their religious beliefs on the country. Someone else might be able to confirm if this is correct or not. There are a few things where religions of all kind will impact decisions in any parliament. I am pretty sure religion will influence votes in this assisted dying bill too.

Ally Bongo Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 There had been speculation over whether Ms Forbes would continue in the race after a series of MSPs withdrew their backing but she has made clear she intends to fight on. She wrote in a statement on Facebook and Twitter on Thursday: "I feel greatly burdened that some of my responses to questions in the media have caused hurt, which was never my intention as I sought to answer questions clearly. "I will defend to the hilt the right of everybody in Scotland, particularly minorities, to live and to live without fear or harassment in a pluralistic and tolerant society. "I will uphold the laws that have been won, as a servant of democracy, and seek to enhance the rights of everybody to live in a way which enables them to flourish. "I firmly believe in the inherent dignity of each human being - that underpins all ethical and political decisions I make." She was honest Unlike Humza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What she was apologising for was saying that if she had the opportunity to vote against gay marriage in Parliament she would take that opportunity, because of her faith.
