SCOTTISH Tory list MSP Murdo Fraser continues to bring joy unto the nation, that is if joy is defined as tittering up our collective sleeve at his idiotic self-importance.

Murdo is now threatening legal action after one of his mouldy pizza hot takes on social media was logged as a hate incident by Police Scotland.The tweet in question was a tired old trope about non-binary people, transgender individuals who identify as neither solely male nor female. The MSP had written on social media that"choosing to identify as 'non-binary' is as valid as choosing to identify as a cat.

However, the complaint was logged as a 'hate incident', and provided a reference number to the complainant. He argues that the police must act in line with the Human Rights Act, which relies heavily on the European Convention on Human Rights, you know, that European Convention on Human Rights which many powerful and influential people in Murdo's party want to remove the UK from.

As Stephen Flynn pointed out in his letter:"A survey of 8000 Waspi women carried out in Autumn 2023 found: 70% of Waspi women have reduced their weekly spending and have cut their food shops in the past six months. 55% of Waspi women say their economic position has got worse in the past six months. 49% of Waspi women have struggled to pay essential bills in the past six months. 25% of Waspi women have struggled to buy food in the past six months.

Anas Sarwar has been noticeably quiet since this latest Starmer U-turn was announced, he's off looking for a pensioner whose NHS appointment was cancelled due to a delayed ferry so he can harrumph about it whencomes back after the Easter break, by which time he is hoping that everyone will have forgotten just how pathetically ineffectual the Labour Party in Scotland really is when it comes to preventing Keir Starmer from adopting Conservative policies.
