Wings Over Scotland | The Queer Parliament

We were excited to discover this old footage of a very young John Swinney.

?

How thrilled he must be that he’s managed to make his dream come true.

Because in the Scottish Parliament at least, there are now no men and no women, and indeed pretty much only wankers. Just days into its five-year term, gender ideology has already turned it into a trainwreck and a laughing-stock.

After the election, the Parliament website had added “non-binary” to the list of filters by which one could search the MSP cohort, and included male Green MSP Iris Duane in the female category. Shortly afterwards it decided for the first time in its 27-year history to abolish the gender filter entirely.

It’s doubtful that the Scottish Government can comply with its duty to monitor progress on female representation, or indeed its Public Sector Equality Duty generally, if it refuses to recognise the sex of MSPs, but apparently it has been determined that “inclusion” is more important.

Meanwhile, the first act of new Presiding Officer Kenny Gibson – one of just three SNP MSPs who voted against the Gender Recognition Reform Bill – was to announce that he would impose compelled speech in the chamber on anyone with the temerity to know the difference between a man and a woman.

Sanctioning anyone for “misgendering” would be unambiguously unlawful anywhere else in Scotland, but there’s uncertainty over whether the Equality Act 2010 (which protects so-called “gender-critical” beliefs) applies in the Holyrood chamber. In theory both the PO and the Parliament’s standing orders are subordinate to UK law, but we can only hope that an MSP, probably a Tory or Reform one, puts the matter to the test as soon as possible in the interests of clarity.

The Scottish Government has also refused to take any action over the trans-focused Equality Network – an organisation almost entirely funded by the government – giving businesses unlawful and inaccurate advice regarding the Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland.

All of this follows the chaos unleashed by the election of “non-binary” Green MSP “Q” Manivannan, who will under the law as it stands become an illegal immigrant long before the completion of his term in office.

(Although the Scottish Greens find biological women so intolerably gross and icky that they made a female candidate in exactly the same circumstances stand down before the election, despite all the other “diversity” boxes she ticked.)

And the important thing to note is that none of this is a bug. It’s a feature.

The sociopathic freakshow that made up the Scottish Greens candidate list at the election, for example, was not merely an unfortunate aspect of to the fact that the party has nobody but sociopathic freaks to choose from.

The Greens are not a proper party in the normal sense. They have a tiny membership riven with incredibly bitter factional infighting, and don’t stand in most constituency seats. Instead, they exist to opportunistically exploit the electoral system as essentially a form of political terrorism. Everything they do is about “queering” the status quo, by which they mean normal people (especially white heterosexual ones, although “Queer Theory” is only passingly concerned with sexuality) with families and jobs and a fondness for an occasional pork chop.

“Q” Manivannan, whose real name is Srivatsan, takes his nom-de-plume from his social media identity “q_ueering”. Almost immediately after he was elected and a number of offensive and racist posts from his Twitter account surfaced, he locked the account so that it was only visible to his 2,471 existing followers, and then methodically removed every single one of them so that nobody could read any of his tweets. (He now has just two, and nobody but him and them knows who they are.)

Readers might be forgiven for wondering what he wants to hide so badly.

Manivannan joined the Greens primarily because of the party’s stance on Palestine, and wants Scottish taxpayers’ money to be spent not on improving anyone’s lives in Scotland but on paying “reparations” for the “historical and contemporary complicity of Scotland in the colonisation and occupation of Palestine”.

He performs poetry urging people to migrate illegally to Scotland.

He describes himself as a “marriage abolitionist” and a “communist” who runs towards red flags rather than away from them, and also supports the abolition of prisons, like his dribble-witted fellow new Green MSP Kate Nevens.

The Greens want to soak the rich with high taxes, but at the same time they don’t want anyone to BE rich in the first place. They oppose most forms of economic growth as environmentally harmful, and call for “degrowth” as both a tactic against climate change and a path to “upending the engine of capitalism”, ie destroying life as we currently understand it.

Manivannan is explicit about the link.

So if you voted Scottish Green you voted for a communist Scotland with no marriage and no prisons, an end to capitalism not just in Scotland but worldwide, and all your money being given to Palestine. Oh, and more cycle lanes.

It’s not an accident that the Greens put such obvious nutters at the top of their lists. It’s a deliberate statement of open, provocative contempt for normal people and normal society, that says “We are going to do our damnedest to destroy everything you know and love”. Manivannan is simply less subtle than most of them about it.

Consider the selection of the infamous Mridul Wadhwa as a list candidate for Edinburgh. He was EIGHTH on the list. Regions only actually get seven list seats. For him to have any chance of getting elected the Greens would have needed literally 100% of the list vote. So why is he there?

The answer is that he’s there to make a statement. The Scottish Greens WANT you to know that they support this man, who was fired for victimising a rape crisis worker, having lied to get a job running a rape crisis organisation that was supposed to be for a biological woman.

Wadhwa is absolute poison to every decent human in Scotland. And since there was no chance whatever of him getting elected there was no ostensible purpose for putting him on the list. But the Greens did it anyway purely to say “Screw you and your decent society. This is who we admire and prioritise over you, and would happily have making your laws.”

Alert readers may also have noted the presence on that list, in a literally-impossible ELEVENTH place, of Alex Staniforth, a repulsive piece of slime even by the standards of the Scottish Greens, who last year tried to defund Edinburgh Women’s Aid for not being sufficiently inclusive of men.

The Greens only stood three constituency candidates in the Edinburgh region, so even if ALL of them had won their seats and EVERY SINGLE LIST VOTE had gone to the Greens, Staniforth still wouldn’t have been elected. The only reason he’s there is to demonstrate the utter molten contempt in which the Greens hold women, and indeed most normal people generally.

Most of this is the legacy of Patrick Harvie, a tiny angry man with the face of Heinrich Himmler but lacking the warm personality. By the end of this parliament Harvie will have been an MSP for 28 years and trousered over £2,000,000 in wages – not bad for an anti-capitalist – without ever winning a seat in his own right.

He claims to be a bisexual, but in all his decades in public life nobody’s ever known him to have a male or female partner – something which also applies to almost everyone in senior positions in the party. The last time he’s known to have been inside a woman it was his mother. If anyone’s having sex with the Scottish Greens leadership, they (perhaps understandably) don’t want anyone finding out about it.

Harvie took the mild-mannered environmentalist party of Robin Harper and transformed it into a far-left home for intolerant extremists, driving out widely-respected moderates like Andy Wightman for even daring to TALK to feminists.

Harvie groomed the repellent misogynist Ross Greer as his successor, but when the party held a leadership election last year 88% of its membership declined to vote for ANYONE. Greer got in on just 298 votes.

It’s worth remembering that the Greens came dead last in last week’s election (of parties represented in the Parliament), with a total of just 375,000 votes. The Lib Dems got 478K, the Tories got 543K, Reform got 745K and Labour got 809K. But Scotland’s electoral system rewarded Greer and Mackay’s misfit crew with 15 seats, just two less than Reform who got twice the votes.

And that’s the heart of the issue – the Greens and their lunatic policies are toxically unpopular with Scots, which is why the party hates society, which is why the people it puts up for election are all so foul. It’s not a coincidence. It’s design.

That’s why when people question their motives, Greens don’t respond by saying “Look, we’re in this to make Scotland a better place, give us a chance and judge us on what we do”, they say “LOL just wait, you’re going to hate us even more!”

It’s because if you’re a normal Scot just trying to survive with your family from day to day without queering/destroying the entire order of Western society, they already loathe everything about you.

Worryingly, despite the arithmetic in the chamber putting John Swinney in an almost uniquely strong position where he only needs the support of any one other party to pass any vote, all the early signs are that the SNP are going to cling to the Greens and their agenda anyway, giving a party with just 8% of the vote a massively disproportionate influence to go with their disproportionate seat numbers.

So get ready for five years of the queerest Scottish Parliament ever, folks. We can only hope there’s some fragment of a recognisable Scotland left at the end of it.
