Here's another enabler MSP who wants to reduce our freedoms. When @RadioClydeNews interviewed performers and producers concerned about the Hate Crime Bill @Ross_Greer claimed their reporting was inaccurate. When they pointed out they had taken legal advice he backed down.👇
2./ It was no longer inaccurate. It was now..."contextually misleading". Now his defence of the Bill is that earlier provisions from the 1980s that could have been equally misused never have been so why would these new wholesale extensions ever be misused? This begs a question.
3./ If they were never used why bother going to this effort to extend them? I'll tell you why. 30 years on the atmosphere is different and there's now an army of over-agitated, virtue-signalling culture war extremists gagging to misuse them. Look just up the road from Holyrood.
4./ If you'd told anyone 30 years ago that the greatest philosopher Scotland (and arguably Britain) ever produced, David Hume, who helped undermine the pretensions of our home grown religious Taliban, could be cancelled for a footnote, they'd think you were mad.
5./ Of course it would have been wonderful if Hume had been an opponent of slavery like his brilliant contemporary critic Dr Johnson (who just happened to be a Tory, and a Englishman who held much of Scotland in contempt). Big surprise: no one was perfect 250 years ago!
6. The people Hume fought against are now back: the moral warriors and hypocrites with closed minds. Their beards may not be as impressive as John Knox's but their misogyny and self-righteousness would give him a run for his money as they police every utterance for a pile-on.
7./ Like Greer they'll use sophistry to defend this Bill as a small tidying up exercise. But you have to ask yourself why would the SNP prioritise this Bill now over say hospitals or the case for Indy (depending on your political point of view) unless they were deadly serious?
8./ Who knew we'd have so many MSPs who see their job as trying to restrict the freedoms we pay them to defend? In the end, do you believe the Faculty of Advocates, Police Scotland, the Secular Society or wee Ross Greer? You don't need to be David Hume to answer that question.

1./ For Transgender Remembrance I'd like to remind you Tony McDade who murdered a young black man is still being cited by trans lobby groups as a victim. Here she is cited by @glaad the LGBTQ+ group that's so corrupt it bought its CEO an actual chandelier. glaad.org/tdor-memoriam/
2./ McDade was shot by Florida cops just 3 days after the death of violent drug-dealer George Floyd. BLM now embraced McDade as another shining example of suffering. Here's Stanford University including McDade in a pro-BLM 'Say Their Names' exhibit. exhibits.stanford.edu/saytheirnames/…
3./ In fact McDade, who was convinced she was a man, was mentally unstable and high on testosterone and god knows what else when just weeks after being released from jail she went online to warn the world she was going to murder her "haters". Here she is asking for more bullets.
1./ 🧵The scandal of LGBT Youth Scotland continues to poison our public life. Well done to @Rosiemillard for drawing attention to the BBC's wilful negligence in giving money to the group mere months after its CEO was jailed for running a child abuse ring. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
2./ LGBT Youth Scotland's CEO James Rennie used their offices to communicate with hundreds of abusers across the world. Rennie exchanged images of him sexually abusing a child which he did for four years from a few weeks after the boy was born. scotsman.com/news/horror-up…
3./ LGBTYS should have been closed down immediately. What more proof do you need that a YOUTH group has failed than its CEO running a child abuse ring from its offices? At least you might expect the Scottish government to pause its funding? Carry out a review? They did neither.
1./ 🧵Trans Lobby Grifter$
If anyone tells you trans people are a marginalised minority tell them about Trans in the City. 300 of Britain's biggest firms support this powerful trans lobby group led by larping men like "Emily". Did anyone ever look less like an Emily?
1/13
2./ That some of our biggest employers validate the delusions of this galumphing fool is a scandal. Here he is talking about "safe places to work" when his group campaigns to make all workplaces less safe for women by removing single sex spaces. Imagine meeting him in a loo.
3./ Like the other creeps at Trans in the City *Emily* is a straight bloke with kids. One of its founders is Pips Bunce an idiot who goes to work as a "woman" some days and as a bloke the others. Here he is getting an award. For making Eddie Izzard look like he made an effort?
I./ 🧵The Woke Virus Spreaders.
Here are some of my recent articles about dodgy grifters who helped spread the woke mind virus. First up is corrupt Sarah Kate Ellis who turned gay rights group GLAAD into a child harm promoter; enriching herself in the process. Of course she did.
2./ The ghoulish trans child charity Mermaids is so paedophile-friendly it was perhaps inevitable it would be linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Barclays CEO was a huge fan and even organised a boycott of Mermaids' critics. He just happened to be Epstein's best buddy. Of course he was.
3./ For decades the British LGBTQ+ activist Peter Tatchell celebrated two tribes in Papua New Guinea who abuse children. He claimed they were moral examples. Guess where I discovered he went hiking during a missing period in his biography? Papua New Guinea. Of course it was.
1./ 🧵Justin Welby
We could have guessed Justin Welby might be a fake and a liar when he was praised on his resignation by Alastair Campbell; a man rarely acquainted with honesty. He called Welby, who obstructed an investigation into child abuse "a good man". But is he?
1of/11
2./ Welby loved lecturing the public on our alleged moral responsibility for crimes of the past, setting up a £100m fund to "address the legacy of slavery". Shame then he refused for so long to address the legacy of a recent crime. One he is alleged to have known a lot about.
3./ In the 70s and 80s Welby was heavily involved in the Irwen Trust, an evangelical charity. Its CEO John Smyth was a pathologically homophobic barrister who appeared to be a happily married man. He was however abusing teenage boys, beating them in a garden shed until they bled.
1./ 🧵Labour's War on @elonmusk
What is hate speech? For Imran Ahmed from the Center for Countering Digital Hate it includes accounts on @X that warn of the dangers of so-called "gender affirming healthcare" for children. This matters due to his close links to the UK government
2./ Last year his group @CCDHate published a report accusing 5 accounts including brilliant gay rights activists @againstgrmrs of.... "LGBTQ+ hate". In fact they and the other accounts were merely calling out horrors like Drag Queens in schools and sterilising kids with blockers.
3./ Believe it or not @CCDHate complained an ad had been placed beside a post from @againstgrmrs in which the group said they stood with parents against predatory child abuse by groomers. How is gays standing against predatory child abuse hate speech? It gets worse.
