A photo of a Substack article on a black background with white text above it. The white text reads: “Our very first article is here!”. The text in the Substack article reads: “Cabaret Against the Hate Speech hosts counter protest against Women Won’t Wheesht – 11.04.2026 | Edinburgh, Scotland | STAND FAST Zine | published on April 12, 2026”. The Substack article also has a photo of a progress pride flag flying above a crowd of people.

Our very first protest article has been published! You can find the link for our Substack page in our bio.

Liberation for all, or it means nothing at all!

In solidarity,

Sure told us when #Westminster puffed up its chest and blocked #RoyalAssent from the Queen (then) for the fully approved #ScottishParliament Bill in 2022. Ridiculous contemtuous reasoning & blatant UK wide proposal to follow #StarmerLie quietly dropped. It gets reprised now & then, relevant or not.

Scottish people, remind anyone you know who may think of voting for Reform next month, that they are voting for the same chaos that’s currently engulfing America & the world.

In the #Scotcast election 'chat' Alex Cole Hamilton (ally) expressed genuine regret about how #ScottishParliament inadvertently made life so much worse for #Trans people [it was in fact #Westminster with stealth #ScotlandAct Clause 35 activation]. He plans low profile issue heat dissapation for now.

Stricter rules on high-risk cosmetic procedures to be enforced in Scotland A new Bill introducing stricter regulations of higher-risk cosmetic procedures has been approved by politicians in Scotland.

Homophobic Muslims are not fit to be in #ScottishPolitics - and neither are #SNP & #ScottishLabour politicians pandering to Muslim voters.

#Holyrood 's Nazi MSPs🐀 even try to rig their re-election by censoring us Scots online with false arrests.

One of the MSP to reject the Assisted Dying Bill in Scotland even, blocking the wishes of 80% of Scots
#assisteddying, #democracy, #secular, #scottishparliament

Refreshing to hear a politician, Malcolm Offord, Reform UK Scotland, defend freedom of expression on the BBC Sunday Show this morning.

Meanwhile, the SNP GESTAPO witch-hunts Scots like me.😧

Greyhound racing outlawed in Scotland after MSPs back ban The sport already faced extinction after the country's last track in Kirkcaldy, Fife, closed last year.

It’s funny how MSPs care more about the welfare and humane treatment of dogs than they do of dying people. 🙄 #AssistedDying #ScottishParliament #DignityInDying

Scottish parliament votes against legalising assisted dying MSPs reject bill after concerted campaign to block it and despite amendments intended to placate critics

#AssistedDying
The right to choose a good death is what completes the right to life.

Without it, enforced living becomes all torture and suffering. For 'life' is not "lasting", even less "enduring".

The #ScottishParliament has behaved ABOMINABLY.

«NO» to #assisteddying?!?

You absolute bastards.

Scotland votes against assisted dying bill MSPs have voted against legalising assisted dying for terminally ill adults in Scotland.

Scottish Parliament votes against assisted dying bill (video) #Scotland #ScottishParliament #AssistedDyingBill #Holyrood

Not sure why #ScottishParliament has ceased to represent a courageous #Scotland I'd hoped we might start in 2014. Here I am again, not recognising those who purport to represent "future Scotland" but act as #WeeFrees Scotland is back. Essential citizen autonomy of an #AssistedDyingBill was denied.

Really frustrated by this result. I struggle to understand how this is representative democracy when polls show consistently that public overwhelmingly support Assisted Dying reform. Our politicians clearly are not representing views of their constituents. Sad day. #AssistedDying #ScottishParliament
