Good incidental pun on plots there - rather than losing the plot, you’d have thought they would turn it into an allotment (or natural burial ground), wouldn’t you?

So anyone who isn't daft enough to think that sex isn't a biological reality, doesn't stand with the LGBTQ+ community.

You couldn't make it up could you.

Next month is Pride month? Ye gods. What has happened to us? And as for the Greens - they defy polite description.

53 expelled? There can’t be many left by now.

Clearly they’ve totally lost the plot! What a weird situation.

If I understand this, because of the way the Scottish assembly is organized, even if almost no one votes for the Greens, they was still get members of the assembly elected under the list system!

At least they're not in a power sharing deal in Scotland.

However, check out local Councils - they are in a deal with Labour here, both recommending that Green Belt land should be built on.

Yes, if they ever had a plot they seem to have mislaid it.

It’s not a surprise in a country where even the First Minister thinks that babies are born as women. It’s all baffling. www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/john-swinney-fails-already-vital-32796401

I really think that the 'Greens' have lost the plot, I thought their main focus at one time was the environment and Green issues, and not denying that natal women exist.

Ye gods. So let me get this right, the Greens have welcomed Islamists into their midst who would throw homosexuals off the roof of tall buildings but have expelled those that (quite rightly) believe that there are only two sexes? Furthermore, they believe that Lesbians should fancy blokes dressed up as women, who think they are women.

What a muddled up bunch!

Next month is Pride month, and we hope this decisive action will send a clear message that we stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, now and forever.”
Does anyone actually care? Grow up for goodness sake.
