1./ This is Scotland now: a feminist threatened by cops with being jailed and her kids removed by social services. Her crime? "Unspecified comments". Scotland's cops are behaving like some latter-day McStasi but should we really be surprised?👇

2./ This was surely the inevitable result of abominations like this: police recruits lined up in February behind a flag no self-respecting gay person now treats seriously. It's almost as if you can feel their eagerness to become Stormtroopers for the rainbow rag. 
3./ It's an eagerness being encouraged by the SNP's recent crackpot Hate Crime Bill. This makes the cops now super-attentive to those weird, little woke groups the SNP spends taxpayer millions on; Scotland's magic circle of rainbow best buddies and hate crime redefiners.
4./ Some might argue you can tell how entitled the SNP feel to tug the cops' leash by the behaviour of that massive personality @mrjohnnicolson. Remember when he publicly tweeted to the cops directly suggesting they investigate the financing of @ALLIANCELGB 👇
5./ Isn't it a matter of time before a keen PC Torquemada of the Scottish Transquisition arrests someone for comments made in the "privacy" of their own home? "Do you think or have you ever suggested a lesbian cannot have a penis?" they will ask before putting you in handcuffs.
6./ But maybe we should have known this would backfire. Scotland is, after all, the country that gave the world the fierce self-righteousness of the Covenanters and the dark hypocrisy of Burns's Holy Willie. It only takes a few tweaks to make that great poem ring true for today.
7./ "O Wee Nicola, who in Holyrood does dwell, Who, as it pleases best Thysel', Sends ane to heaven an' ten to hell, A’ for Thy glory!"...&..."Pass not in thy mercy by them, Nor hear their prayer; But for thy people’s sake destroy them, An’ dinna any feminist spare".
