SO, apparently, the reason Mhairi Black MP is standing down at the next election is due to the toxic atmosphere in the House of Commons. Yet she feels free to call women “Jeremy Hunts”, and now follows this up by suggesting anyone who has a different opinion to hers over gender identity is a Nazi and a fascist!
I don’t suppose there were extra security arrangements in place when Mhairi spoke publicly, unlike the situation with Joanna Cherry MP?

Then again, all the violence in the trans debate comes from one side – that of the trans activists who recently attacked an elderly woman in Aberdeen, who have bullied, threatened and attacked women who won’t give up their rights to safe spaces. If anyone can be accused of bringing toxicity to politics, it is Mhairi Black.
Hopefully Ms Black will eventually grow up and understand that woman deserve safe spaces, and apologise for her hate-filled comments.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
