To be fair to @Peachsquish, Thomas Hamilton (Dunblane) was dodgy as duck. I was just listening to something about him the other day and there was lots of instances of him talking pictures of semi naked boys and putting them up in his house. On at least two occasions he had boys sleeping in his van with him during over night hikes. The fact that scouts got rid of him at a time when safeguarding was pretty lax says to me there was probably more going on than that.

When the Supreme Court ruling was announced last April why did it not become law when every other ruling became law why does this one need picking over? Because it is what some men want? Maybe we should start picking fault with all the other laws and see what happens.

Yep.
A lady I occasionally meet on dog walks resigned as a guide leaders because she could see the safeguarding threat, no-one "above"would listen to her and she wasn't prepared to have it happen on her watch. It wasn' a responsibility she was prepared to shoulder.
I'll bet she wasn't the only one.
I'd be interested to see guide numbers/ recruitments etc to see if membership of this and similar organisations fell.
It was always the law. Ignored then, continues to be ignored. I'm not sure how many 'clarifications' will be needed before people take any notice.When the Supreme Court ruling was announced last April why did it not become law when every other ruling became law why does this one need picking over?

It wouldn't even be so bad if it was just the kids - but we have middle-aged AGPs joining as leaders and sleeping in the same rooms as girls - nonononononono!
Ok fair, I did not know that. @Peachsquish I stand corrected!
Agreed.
It's always the same. The poor menz can't use the toilets/ changing rooms/ whatever where they feel most comfortable.
Never mind the women.
If it was up to the men not all I haste to add we would be at the kitchen sink constantly pregnant and his house his rules, but handmaidens can’t see this. Our ancestor’s must be wondering what we fought for, it really wasn’t that long ago that these hard fought rights where won.
🤍It really infuriates me when companies/councils/schools etc say the are 'seeking legal advice.' It's just a delaying tactic. The law is very plain as laid out by the highest court in the land. 'Shonky Advice Solicitors Ltd' are not going to be able to find a way around it!
Sorry but in my 20 years as an adult I have never shared a room/tent with a child
the fact that people are slating GG for not allowing GLP to help them is ridiculous
I often think that if the professional TRAs weren't paid to be activists they'd just be on disability. Like they can just do a normal boring job - it has to be special otherwise their health conditions will prevent them working
Nichola Sturgeon's final interviews as a MSP today, still refuses to say Isla Bryson is a MAN. Good riddance you traitor of women.
Enjoy life in the shadows.

exactly. wait until they have to go for job interviews and there's only 1 space and 99 applicants...and realise not everyone gets chosen all the time. hopefully soon though being 'trans' won't be the Golden Ticket it has been recently...
My grandmother was 30 before she could vote, and that was only because she got married the year earlier. If she'd remained single, she would have had to wait until she was 36, when the law changed.If it was up to the men not all I haste to add we would be at the kitchen sink constantly pregnant and his house his rules, but handmaidens can’t see this.

It's really not that long ago.
I went on Brownie camp as a kid. It was in a hostel /hall type venue. The leaders played pranks on us, including putting sweets in our shoes AND spraying our hair with neon wash-out hair paint... which meant the (thankfully female leaders) had to get up close to us as we slept to spray us so we had coloured hair streaks in the morning. Imagine a TIM leader going around girls' bedroom at night getting that close to each girl. Thinking about it now it was a violation spraying out hair back then! (1990s)... let alone allowing a man in now
to 'supervise'.I'm fairly sure I've said this before, but I will repeat, I despise Nicola Sturgeon
