>Holy cow another investigation. We gottem now. It's happening!!!!!!!!!
You are maybe forgetting, anon. If we can get 5 investigations going, these can be traded in for one Enquiry. Then, we only need a further 9 Enquiries to trade up for a fully fledged probe. Why, if we rack up 5 probes, an trade these for an examination, then, then we have a chance at getting them. Provided all relevant paperwork has been complete to this point.
>What in God’s name is that all about?
Fighting a proxy war costs money.
Gubbiments don't pay.
The peasants do.
Trans woman found guilty of rape moved to men’s prison
Isla Bryson, a transgender woman found guilty of raping two women before transitioning, has been moved from Scotland’s all-female Cornton Vale prison to a male facility after an intervention by Nicola Sturgeon.
The first minister told MSPs earlier on Thursday that Bryson would not be incarcerated in the women’s prison “either short term or long term”, after a report saying the offender had been transferred there on Tuesday prior to sentencing prompted outrage across the political and campaigning spectrum.
Sturgeon emphasised it was important not to suggest “even inadvertently” that trans women posed an inherent threat to women.
Pressed repeatedly on the matter at first minister’s questions on Thursday by the Scottish Conservative leader, Douglas Ross, Sturgeon said she agreed it was not possible to have a rapist incarcerated in a female prison.
Emphasising this was an operational matter for the Scottish Prison Service, she added: “The Scottish Prison Service is in the process of giving effect to the decision it has taken not to incarcerate this prisoner in Cornton Vale.”
Ross described the decision as a “screeching U-turn” after the justice secretary, Keith Brown, told MSPs on Wednesday that he trusted the Prison Service to decide.
It later emerged that Sturgeon had made a rare intervention during a meeting involving Brown, which took place shortly before she announced at Holyrood that Bryson was being moved from Cornton Vale.
Sturgeon’s official spokesperson said the first minister had not ordered the Prison Service to move Bryson to a male prison but added: “I expect and I think the Prison Service might expect ministers’ views to be taken into account.”
He denied suggestions Sturgeon had taken part directly in that meeting and acknowledged ministers very rarely were involved in decisions about individual prisoners, but said the first minister believed no rapist should be held in a women’s prison.
On Tuesday there was widespread anger that Bryson – who first appeared in court in 2019 as Adam Graham and was known to both victims by that name – was being remanded in a female prison.

>paraphrased
Scotland wants to empower trans people, giving them more liberty to change their gender. But the United Kingdom is not in favour. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has blocked the Gender Recognition Reform Bill passed in Scotland on 22 December.
Scottland’s Nicola Sturgeon has called the UK government’s move a “full-frontal attack” on the Scottish Parliament and vowed to oppose it. Her government is likely to mount a legal challenge, which would be through a judicial review, to assess the lawfulness of the Scotland secretary’s decision. She said that Scottish ministers would “defend” the bill, saying that if the veto succeeded it would be the “first of many”.
''What is a Section 35 order?
It is dubbed the “nuclear button”, a legal arsenal that the UK government has but has never exercised. The Scotland Act establishing the Scottish Parliament came into the effect in 1998. Under Section 35 of the Act, a UK secretary of state has the power to stop a bill from getting royal assent and thus preventing it from becoming law. This order can be used only if they have reason to believe that the law in question will hurt legislation across Great Britain.''
