while we are at it: regular reminder that in scotland, legally, both under older legislation and uncrc, parents do not have *rights* they have *responsibilities*. it's children who have rights.
"parents' rights" are as made up as "sex based rights" and for the same reasons

That MSPs are now openly saying stuff like this is chilling. "Controversial groups like LGBT Youth Scotland"? LGBTYS didn't need to be in my schools for me to be gay, but they sure as hell would have helped me avoid 9 years of fear and self-loathing if they had been. Despicable stuff.

Amazing scenes @ Scone Palace today, as my wee dug Bobbi takes her rightful place as Queen of Scotland.
Her reign will be fierce - know your place pheasants!

I'm not saying the system couldn't be improved, but this type of story exists for only one reason which is to vaguely imply that asylum seekers are an outrageous imposition on society.
The media is obsessed with the minutiae of asylum expenses like certain writers are obsessed with trans people.
