At what stage of the menopause am I at when the waft of a McDonald's chicken nugget took me straight to 1991 and unlocked all the lyrics to Beverley Craven's "Promise Me" and now I'm sitting greeting and sooking on a mint Aero?

Key Note to The NEXT STEPS on Ending conversion practices in Scotland:

Next steps

12. As detailed in our 2025-2026 Programme for Government, published in May 2025, the Scottish Government remains committed to ending conversion practices in Scotland. We will continue to engage with the UK Government in relation to a Bill that would cover England, Wales and Scotland. However, if this approach cannot be agreed, then we commit to publishing our own Bill in Year 1 of the next Parliamentary session.

13. On this basis, this response aims to clarify some issues relating to the proposals as set out in the consultation, noting that we continue to develop our approach to providing legal protection from conversion practices. It also acknowledges the feedback received which we are carefully considering as we continue to develop legislation for Scotland, should a UK-wide approach not be possible.

The platform could ban her but they must take down falsehoods. Have a chat with a lawyer to be certain. There's no way this is acceptable. Casual insulated assassin.

You cannot let that stand. You need a stiffening lawyers letter addressing that ruinous libel sent urgently to both the person & the platform. Reputational damage alone could follow you around. Terrible behaviour.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”
