A strong argument stands on its own merit.
A weak argument has no merit.
It depends on bullying to enforce compliance.
Hence the tactics of Trans Activists at Sussex and across the world.
Kathleen Stock's book 'Material Girls' is an amazing read.

Sorry Colin, I have to correct you there.
Not finding evidence against Sturgeon is not the same thing as finding her innocent of any wrongdoing.
She is still likely to be thought of as 'untrustworthy'.
Look what she did to Alex Salmond, who was actually found innocent.
Or Joanna Cherry.

Isn’t it odd* how unionists constantly criticise the SNP’s management of the police (despite falling crime levels), but never criticised Plods glacially slow branchform investigation which has now found Nicola Sturgeon innocent of any wrongdoing?

She certainly did nothing to protect Joanna Cherry's rights.

As if there were not already enough distrust of the Scottish Police:

'it was revealed the force have threatened female staff with disciplinary action if they raise concerns about this guidance.'
Does this explain the policing of Womens' Rights demos?

Police Scotland could face law suits after allowing men in women changing rooms
Numerous public bodies under the Scottish Government have introduced guidance which allows trans people to self-identify and use whatever facilities they want, eroding single-sex spaces.

Why isn't the BBC questioning Labour about its justification for huge benefit cuts and why they won't consider alternatives? Instead it's presented as inevitable and not as a political choice.

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.
