been interesting for them to ask her about the Supreme Court ruling but, seriously, what would've been the point? As a former SNP voter and shoogly peg independenista I'm glad she's gone but I have NO confidence in the current party in govt to help women and girls going forward.

I've just listened to the interview with Nicola Sturgeon on #bbcr4today Even for her that was a shocker. Hasn't shifted an inch. Still blaming others and particularly women who have done everything possible to protect their existing rights over the last 10 years. It might have.

Of course the banal truth about the exclusion of the WWWW and Jenny Lindsay is more likely to be because Nicola Sturgeon is appearing and her former chief of staff Liz Lloyd is a director. Oh and cowardice.

Thanks to Samira Ahmed for pressing for answers.

She was pretty tongue-tied and very nervous. Has there ever been a "movement" that has created so much fear and self censorship in people you'd normally expect to be upholding the highest principles of freedom of speech and artistic expression?.

The very last thing Jenny Niven said "important that the rights of individuals are protected and that we are looking after people properly." Is that really the function of a book festival? And what does she mean by "rights?" 🤔🤬 This is really, really terrible.

And this "Breach House, a remote farm that is a sanctuary for women; a safe space where men are not allowed that is away from the judgement and violence of the rest of the world." The irony of writing this sentence should not be lost on any of us.

I mean. This.

view on womens rights and artistic freedom? Do they really not see what they're doing is incompatible with a free society?.

I always like to include something to make us laugh.

included in those who can report.

independence is so important as you get older. We were fortunate, both our parents knew when the time had come to stop. Apart from anything else if you wear specs for any reason you are supposed to get eye tests every two years regardless of age. Perhaps opticians should also be.

moaning about it, followed by a woman whose loved one had been killed by an older man who shouldn't have been driving. Of course it's hard to be told you shouldn't be driving anymore given that public transport is so poor in many parts of the country and maintaining your.

Here's the rules on reporting medical conditions to DVLA and the responsibility of others to report. I caught a guy on BBC Radio 2 .Medical conditions, disabilities and driving: Telling DVLA about a medical condition or disability -

remains, the problem. But what will her trans pals have to say about her admission? No doubt she'll find out what it's like to be called a bigot and transphobe for stating material reality.

said or written by women across the country, including evidence from legal experts like Naomi Cunningham and others she not only would have increased her personal knowledge but would have had to admit far sooner that this legislation was wrong. It is her personality that was, and.

doing that true trans stuff (although I may be giving her too much credit even for knowing what that is), and the same as the NHS Fife medics who think that some men can be women while others can't. If she had read ANYTHING by @mbmpolicy @ForWomenScot @SexMattersOrg or anything.

Worthwhile watching Julie Etchingham's interview with Nicola Sturgeon where she is pressed by Julie into admitting that Isla Bryson IS a biological male. What about all the others Nicola? The ones currently in women's prisons, the refuges, the rape crisis centres? Of course she's.

they are ineligible but it's only when something happens that the authorities become aware.
