The Scottish creative industries are stacked full of vindictive, petty, petulant gate-keeping middle-class activists who spend a considerable amount of their time EXCLUDING people.
Literature Alliance Scotland seems to be no exception.
We have become aware a resource on our website has been flagged by a number of our followers. It was a document submitted to LAS for review but was deemed unsuitable in its current form and was never Board approved. It was uploaded in error & should have been removed more swiftly
A genuine question with none of my usual sarcastic abrasiveness:
Do you feel like this period of time we're living in (perhaps the last decade or so) is insane?
Do you feel insane just existing these days?
Because I sure do and it'd be great to know I ain't alone
The fact that Patrick Harvie think criticisms from twitter wanks is enough for him to dismiss the Cass report should be proof enough he shouldn't be anywhere near government.
The audacity beggars belief.
(also note he has nothing of value to add except mantras and ideological
Patrick Harvie repeatedly refuses to accept the findings of the Cass Review, or even that it's a valid scientific study by a qualified professional, and instead whines that he's been the victim of "hate crimes" in a "culture war".
Looks like
@edinburghuni
is embarrassing Scotland again.
Well done, lads.
Free and open debate at a university?
Not in Scotland, apparently.
Fucking. Well. Done.
Surely, the first time this Hate Crime legislation is used in a malicious manner (inevitable really) has to be the end of Humza Yousaf, right?
The first time someone's life is ruined because of this then Humza has to resign with immediate effect.
Anything less...
I mean where do you start?
Okay. Here goes (fml).
1st - this lot absolutely ignored (screechingly, I'll add) all of the sensible amendments which would have made a UK S35 very unlikely.
2nd - the parliament that voted for this was whipped (SLAB/SNP/Greens)
Trans rights are human rights. It is right for
@scotgov
to challenge the UK gov. We must fight for equality and our democracy.
We voted overwhelmingly for Gender Recognition Reform. We cannot allow the lives of trans people to be used as a pawn in Westminster’s culture war.
I see Gerry Hassan is having his Damascene moment 😂
Gerry, only a few days ago:
'EVERYTHING IS FINE. THE SNP ARE AMAZING. NICOLA IS BRILL AND HUMZA IS EVEN BRILLER!'
Gerry, now:
'I'm here to inform you that all is not well within the SNP, as I have long warned!'
Muppet
Good read from
@NeilMackay
on the appalling abuse of Parick Harvie. Useful reading especially if your monetising hatred of him via sketches and dire 'satire'
So Sturgeon and Murrell are already rigging the election of Sturgeon's successor?
Don't ever let any of these people, or their supporters, spout off about 'democracy' and 'accountability' ever again.
The cognitive dissonance in this country should have its own fucking orchestra
The people who've spent the last five years screaming 'EVERYTHING IS FINE! SHE HAS A PLAN!' while they wore a blindfold and rammed SNP-branded cotton wool into their ear canals daily.
Oh, NOW you think there's a problem?
Get to absolute fuck
The Scot Gov could announce they're ditching electric cars, all renewable energy projects and are reinvesting everything in coal power plants and STILL Patrick Harvie wouldn't fucking resign.
The man's principles are the same as his green credentials: non-existent
A few days ago Humza called anyone questioning the transparency of the leadership contest 'conspiracy theorists' and tinfoil-hat nutjobs.
Now Humza's campaign is demanding transparency from those running the leadership contest.
What a wanker
Is it any wonder huge swathes of working-class creatives in this country feel like they have nowhere to go?
I take the piss out of this stuff but if I'm honest I don't find it funny in the slightest.
Well it's been nice to wake up to an outpouring of appreciation for what I've been up to these last few months (by myself, with hee haw).
Scotland's arts and cultural sector should be fucking ashamed.
(They won't be though, they're never wrong).
Remember the sheer joy in 2015 of seeing Scottish Labour troughers like Jim Murphy, Frances Curran, Ian Davidson, Tom Clarke, Anas Sarwar & Douglas Alexander lose their seats?
Expect the same but directed towards the SNP in 2024
We've been having this conversation about Creative Scotland for a decade now and it hasn't gotten better.
A middle-class cartel siphoning public money to the same group of mates over and over again to make...well...hee haw of worth or value.
It needs an inquiry
Creative Scotland awards £85,000 Lottery cash to REIN an explicit hardcore sex film. Cast are paid to have “live” sex-not simulated- practices so extreme they’re offered psychological aftercare. Featuring “trans dykes” the disabled and porn workers. Lesbians warn it’s offensive.
🌍Every vote for the

on July 4th will be a vote to put people and planet before profit.

#VoteScottishGreens
So beyond the hyperbole, what is this actually for?
What's the root of this stuff? Because it seems to me this is more of the Private Managerial Class, who refuse to actually fucking fix anything, instead conjuring up bollocks to make it look like they're doing something.
🚨 BREAKING:
@MhairiBlack
tells
@maitlis
she is stepping down as an MP at the next general election.
She says Westminster is a “toxic workplace” that has taken its toll on her "body and mind".
Coming to
@GlobalPlayer
PS - the conduct of the politicians who blindly pushed for this is quite frankly appalling. It's an insult to the public, to women, to those whose lives are dedicated to child safeguarding, to the notion of reality.
Their behaviour is antithetical to a diplomatic society.
I'll do something proper when the time comes (April 17th, eyes peeled) but I just want to say thank you to everyone who's supported me making absolute shite and nonsense this past year.
I've had more messages than I can count.
Genuinely quite humbled.
Greens leader
@patrickharvie
says the government has dumped its progressive agenda with a Cabinet reshuffle that saw Kate Forbes become deputy first minister.
"Is this the Scottish Government's vision for the future...taking us back to the repressive values of the 1950s?"
#FMQs
Not only is this disingenuous pish, this is utterly embarrassing disingenuous pish.
If you didn't think the Scottish Greens were unfit for government before....
8th - the idea that living in material reality (much like we all believe in gravity) is somehow a 'far right' and 'fascist' belief is so utterly insulting that you would expect it from a teenager not a tax-payer funded public servant.
In celebration of the Scottish Greens being the greatest bunch of chancers since Del Boy & Rodney, here's a rerun of the greatest horror movie ever made:
Scottish Greens in the Scheme
If I was a Scottish Green member who cared about climate change and sustainability and improving society for ordinary people....I would be utterly incandescent with rage at what Patrick Harvie, Greer and Slater have done to the party.
No wonder nobody makes political satire in Scotland.
Dealing with the constant 'you're hilarious till you slag my chosen brand of bullshit! THEN YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR!' is just fucking tiring.
What a country
Live how you want to live. Dress how ye like. Shag whoever will have ye.
But let's stop pretending normal people are Nazis and that material reality is a fascist construct, eh?
Christ, this isn't difficult.
I mean where do you start?
Okay. Here goes (fml).
1st - this lot absolutely ignored (screechingly, I'll add) all of the sensible amendments which would have made a UK S35 very unlikely.
