As a white Scot, I’d far rather have those asylum seekers as my fellow Glaswegians than those fat, white racist bastards who add zero to our city or cultural life, only detract from it.

When I came to Glasgow I hated both sides of the sectarian divide. But it's become so clear now. When Celtic win, there's always a great atmosphere in town; when Rangers win there's a horrible, threatening, drunk one and eejits causing real damage.

If you believe Eddie Izzard suddenly transformed into a woman overnight because he says so and wears make-up and high heels, and you cannot understand just how offensive this is to women who don't subscribe to sexist stereotypes, you are not "woke", "progressive" or "nice".

Yet if this young girl was to approach Rape Crisis Scotland, she could well find herself counselled by a man dressed as a woman. And be told she was a bigot who needs to 'reframe her trauma' if she couldn't deal with that. That's where Scotland is today.
