Utterly pathetic response from Angela Constance to Douglas Ross MSP who asked if the Gov was ashamed there was no mention of women's rights in the submission to the court on prisons. As he said, they claim they accept the SC ruling, but they are in court fighting it!

Great question from Rebecca Paul MP on prisons & good to hear the PM say he will follow up & that the SC ruling must be implemented. What a contrast to John Swinney & Angela Constance who are going to court to try to keep violent men in the women's estate!

Is it any surprise SNP ministers are running scared of questions on their court case to allow men into women's prisons, when these are the woeful answers they produce? If they cannot defend it in Parliament, they have no business arguing it in court.

"The First Minister can't even look at me. Is John Swinney and the rest of his Cabinet ashamed that in this court case and their written argument, they did not mention women's rights once?" Douglas Ross asks about the policy for housing transgender prisoners.

Today in Scottish Parliament, Angela Constance was challenged by Tess White MSP & others about Scottish Government's deplorable decision to go to court to defend the prison policy which allows violent men to be housed with vulnerable women. Unsurprisingly, but disgracefully, the Minister refused to answer why the Gov are so determined to push ahead with what amounts to state sanctioned torture. Don't take our word for it - in 2023 the UN SR on torture said, in relation to Scottish prisons “Female prisoners have a right to be protected from violent sex offenders no matter how they identify. Where is the common sense? Clearer guidelines are needed.” There is no legal prohibition stopping the Gov from explaining why this unlawful policy is still in place. Ms Constance is very pleased with herself as the Gov have withdrawn the guidance on Public Boards. Slow hand clap. They HAD to. They have been proactive on nothing else. We share the frustration of Douglas Ross MSP who says the minister has misled Parl by saying they cannot answer. The Minister also refused to tell Pauline McNeill MSP why she thought this policy was acceptable adding, offensively, she didn't take legal advice from social media. Well and good, but I wish they would take it from lawyers instead of activists! Sharon Dowey MSP points out the risks to vulnerable women, the minister claims that no prisoners with a history of VAW are in the female estate. We know this isn't / hasn't been true. But even if it was, it is the stupidest argument to pretend that murders & torturers are held back from hurting women by some sort of chivalry. Douglas Ross MSP asks why we haven't got our money! We want to know that too! Apparently, it's due to "full legal advice" because "ultimately ministers have to comply with the law". Well, after that display, you could have fooled us!

Pure nonsense from John Swinney. The SC said that they should be free from discrimination, it did NOT say that meant they could be in women's spaces. That was the whole point of the ruling!

VIDEO | On SC hearing in Waqf (Amendment) Act case, AIMPLB spokesperson Dr Syed Qasim Rasool says, "Two three important things that came, first was about Waqf by user, the SC wanted to know, earlier it used to be done verbally, it was said that any property, if Masjid, it should be used as Masjid, and it is being used for years, it would be considered as a Waqf by user, irrespective of registry, paper. Now the govt put a rider, in case of dispute, it will not be Waqf by user, now they will have to go for registration. Those who do not have the papers, how they will be doing registry. The court was trying to know, if those properties would be saved. Secondly, the issue of composition, that two non-Muslims would be there, the court asked whether it would be more than two, they denied... Secondly the government's counsel said that there are provisions for women, Pasmanda, the court said there is nothing new in it, it was there. With regards to tribunal, it was said in law that in govt disputes, tribunal won't be deciding, the court asked if there would be a designated officer appointment by the govt, then in whose favour he will decide, they could not answer properly." #SupremeCourt #WaqfAmendmentAct

Lagos sanitation: For over 30 years, the Yorubas were practicing every Saturday, at the end of the month, sanitation. But guess who dragged the Lagos Government to court? An Igbo woman, Faith Okafor. She sued Lagos to court on why they would ask her to stay home and clean her environment. She won! She took Lagos to court, and the judge quickly ruled in her favor. But guess who the judge was? Yep, another Igbo person, Justice Ugochukwu Ogakwu, who was quick to rule in her favor. When they asked an ordinary Igbo person on the street, he said he liked that they canceled the Saturday sanitation. When they asked a Yoruba person, he said he did not like it because that was the way they had been keeping Lagos clean. Fast forward to today, who are the people who always come online to shout that Lagos is dirty and smelling? The same Igbo people!!! Thats all i got to say !! 🪬

“Omoyele Sowore has been remanded at the kuje correctional center until Wednesday. All I can see here is corruption in the justice system of Nigeria. According to the charges he called President Tinubu a t!ff and they asked him to prove it. He was in court but the court revoked his bail and claimed he was never in court, even though they was video evidence.” — VeryDarkMan

Louisiana Gov. Landry on the ballots from the election he cancelled: “Those ballots are discarded… if anyone has a grievance, take it to the Supreme Court.” The Supreme Court he believes they own. He declared a fake emergency to stop a live election. To strip Black voters of representation. To protect Trump. And his answer to anyone who objects is: go to court. The court we packed.

This was Freeland when she found out the court said they violated the charter of rights and freedoms when they invoked the Emergencies Act, her along with Trudeau felt it was wise to waste even more time and money so they filed an appeal. They lost again in Court today. Now what? If the Government can get away with violating the Charter with zero consequences what is the point of it?

10 years he has been in a women's prison in Scotland. Alan Baker is his name. Remember Scottish Government was in court recently to protect his rights to be in a women's prison. The women had no rights. Ask your candidates if they agree with this. It's patently unlawful. #SNPout
