aaid Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Who knows what the UKG will do - but they don’t have long left before they make up their minds. However, the Times are reporting that they will ensure that Scottish GRCs are not valid in England. At least that would mean that they are not sticking their oar into the jurisdictional area of the Scottish Parliament. It does however pose a few interesting questions. The UKG maintains a list of countries whose GRCs - or equivalent - that they recognise. This list was last updated in 2011 and there are 8 countries on it that have adopted a similar system to Scotland - will they also stop recognising those? It would also mean that they would be treating Scotland as a foreign country - which is very interesting indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All totally sane and liberal countries and the subsequent governments and sub-societies in those countries have continued on without any implosions.

How many of those similar systems were introduced by the bad, bad SNP though? Which is probably the most important issue here. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Be good if similar time, effort and cost was put into trans healthcare, especially for adolescents. Making it easier for people to get a GRC is a good thing though, even if the discussion around it is toxic and heavily politicised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeedom Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 He's always been an arsehole, even back in 2012 when the whole indy movement was kissing his backside. There are a lot of slimey grifters out there who have co-opted the independence movement to make careers for themselves. We need to keep our eyes open for the Nathalie McGarrys and Vonnie Moyes/leclercs or whatever her name was if this world who are in it for nothing more than raising their profile and making money.

Clearly the Scottish government has no jurisdiction south of the border. To be fair, did it ever? The longer this goes on the more it looks like a setup. It was always going to be a vexed issue for many, now a segment of independence supporters are being put in the invidious position of siding with a government they don't believe in to defeat a policy they disagree with. Another thought: we all remember how pre-devolution Scotland was used as a testbed for the poll tax. I think WM still views it this way except Scotland now has a parliament and a government that can introduce and in effect "test out" controversial or radical legislation, while WM just sit back and watch how it plays out before deciding whether or not to introduce it down south.

There's a blast from the past - an absolute crackpot, that lassie! Amongst the many things she claimed about herself was that she'd been a victim of revenge porn, only for it to turn out that she'd posted the pics online herself. How apt that even her boobs are fake! 🤣 4 hours ago, Squirrelhumper said: Only account he cares about his his bank account.

aaid Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Wee Dougie will have to rip up his script for FMQs tomorrow. Sunak said - on multiple occasions- that the NHS crisis in Scotland - as well as England and Wales - was as a result of COVID. That’s not entirely true of course but ruins the thrust of any arguments about Scotland that he would want to make. The numpty will probably go with the NHS though.
