Sometimes I am ashamed

Why is this allowed and why would any MP wish to be associated with it? Surely it is a hate crime? If it identified a race and had these posters the police would be on it, confiscating the signs and arresting people (rightly). Why is this any different! I am also ashamed to see this kind of thing anywhere in the UK Maw. It is probably coming to a town near all of us all too soon.

If these people were from any other group they would be denounced as terrorists and treated accordingly. The rampant misogyny behind the trans agenda is terrifying, yet politicians of all stripes are falling over themselves to be seen to be supportive.

It’s good that police have launched an inquiry- let’s see if anything comes of it. I won’t be holding my breath, but you never know.

Indeed. Good post.

nann8 but it isn’t just dickheads with hateful placards is it?
The real problem is that a bunch of SNP politicians are there supporting them.Add to that the crazy decisions by the Scottish parliament which are now being contested by Westminster.

I have told my grandkids (all grown) that if they feel they would be better off in another country to not look back
It has all gone beyond belief some hideous mind sets around full of hate and spite

But they’re just dickheads looking for publicity and getting it by the looks of things. Bunch of pathetic pinheads, you can’t judge a country by people like that.

You are ashamed MAW but I’m frightened for my young granddaughter and all young girls. We are going backwards to putting women in a closed society. Don’t these women with men’s tackle realise what they are doing to us.

Surely that is spreading hate, and inciting violence? Which is illegal.

Or doesn't it count for those in the "be kind" trans movement? 🙄

Funny how the "kind" people are those doing all the harassment, cancelling and threatening.🙁

It’s quite frightening isn’t it. Even more so because there will be underlying support for the group by any who don’t condemn it outright or try to excuse it on the grounds that it’s only a small number who are involved.
Apart from the threat to females, the damage this does to the public perception of all trans, including nonviolent trans, is ignored by this group.

One post from me before the massed ranks of the perpetually offended arrive.

I'm not ashamed of my country.

I'm fizzing about that pathetic person with the placard, just as I was at the moron who posted on Twitter that someone should drive their car into the counter demonstration. The police are investigating it and anybody associated with it should be subject to the law on the matter.

However does it make me ashamed of my whole country? No. Because that would be ridiculous.

Yes, Maw I agree with you. I could not believe it when I read this news item and saw the placards.

These activists are destroying their own cause by instigating mon violence like this, because it is mob violence and I think many named opponents of this movement lives would have been in real danger had they be seen in the area.

Those MP's are not fit to hold office Maw.

Fully expecting to be shot down in flames, I never thought I would see the like and am nevertheless ashamed of the country of my birth.

Todays DT, but also Twitter, BBC News and others
POLICE have launched an investigation after placards calling for women to be decapitated were displayed at a pro-transgender rights rally attended by SNP politicians
MPs Alison Thewliss, Kirsten Oswald, Stewart McDonald and MSP Kaukab Stewart were pictured in front of a sign that said “decapitate terfs” next to an image of a guillotine at a protest in Glasgow on Saturday.
Another homemade sign appeared to call for terfs, an acronym for “trans exclusionary radical feminist” which is often used to describe women who do not believe males can become female, to be eaten.

I do not recognise “my” homeland Scotland sad
