I loved Sturgeon's reply to her:
"I note that at no stage have you approached me to raise your concerns about the Gender Recognition Reform Bill or the vote this evening"

I saw that and it did make me smile! :o)

I was (unsurprisingly really) unimpressed with the Grauniad's headline being that the SNP had had it's biggest ever rebellion, not that the vote passed nearly 3 to one. And the rebellion was actually only 7 people, so it wasn't much of a rebellion compared to what happens in Westminster, plus there was a Tory rebel who voted for it.

Yeah, sensationalising it in that way is such a nonsense. And a great example of why I don't like to The Guardian.

The Grauniad is now notoriously transphobic which saddens me as back when I was dealing with all of it in the late seventies it was about the only paper you knew wouldn't attack you for being trans.

The Grauniad online: share and enjoy.
