The question that @EdinRapeCrisis, Rape Crisis Scotland, @Edinburgh_CC, and the @scotgov should all be being asked today is "How can a biological and legal MAN who was the driver of a systematic campaign of harassment of a woman possibly continue to head a rape crisis centre?"
Rape Crisis Scotland and its chief Sandy Brindley, of course, both ran away from Twitter some time ago to avoid scrutiny and being held to account by the public.
The judge found that Wadhwa was "the invisible hand behind everything that had taken place".
If, unlike Nicola Sturgeon, you're not familiar with this deeply unpleasant man, here's some background on him from a Wings piece way back in 2020. He's a pathological liar and a fraud. wingsoverscotland.com/waiting-for-th…
Brindley's pathetic response so far has been to announce an "independent review" into ERCC's behaviour under Wadhwa. What the fuck do they think the tribunal was if not an "independent review"? Its judgement was excoriating. What more do they need to know?
What an unfortunate day for Sturgeon to double down on her commitment to toxic gender identity theory.

(1) The Greens, we're asked to believe, will back the government/abstain on the confidence vote DESPITE THE GOVERMENT NOT HAVING A FIRST MINISTER. archive.ph/L80zQ
(2) The SNP will then conduct a leadership election under a sword of Damocles, knowing that if they pick someone the Greens don't like they'll immediately face another confidence vote, and looking indescribably pathetic for the next few months.
They will, in full public view, be electing a new leader to be the puppet of the Scottish Greens. And all the while, *Shona Robison* might be the de facto First Minister of Scotland.
This is from LGBT Youth Scotland and Scottish Trans' document "Supporting Transgender Young People", published in 2017, funded by the Scottish Government and endorsed by 16 of Scotland's 32 local authorities.
Basically, it instructs schools that if there is any conflict between a "trans" child and a non-trans child, the trans child's wishes should always come first.
Parents might find this section especially alarming.
Here is the "context" of Humza Yousaf's "WHITE!" speech, and a link to the whole thing so you can read it yourself: parliament.scot/chamber-and-co…
Yousaf asserts that Scotland is beset with racism and horrific racial injustice in many forms. His evidence? Someone on TV was asked why they stay in Britain if they don't like it here, something Yousaf claims would never happen to a white person. (Trivia fact: Afua Hirsch was born in Norway.)
But I bet that nearly all of us has been asked that at some point in our life, especially when espousing left-wing views. "If you don't like it here, why don't you go and live in Russia?" is a bog-standard jibe favoured by the right wing. I bet Owen Jones has heard it 1000 times.
This is a really shockingly bad piece of partisan Pollyanna apologism from @PeatWorrier for an astonishingly poorly-constructed Act that's opposed by such hysterical extremist loonballs as [checks notes] the Scottish Police Federation. archive.is/AJ4y2
It might be strictly semantically correct to say that *the Act* doesn't say that, but Police Scotland have been extremely clear about how they'll be interpreting it.
And this is crass in the extreme. "Oh, nobody would ever interpret this law in an unreasonable way!" Tell that to the guy who got convicted for calling a police horse gay. Tell that to the women arrested for stickering or tweeting pictures of fucking ribbons. Etc etc etc.
