First Minister’s Question Time
Transgender Prisoners (Legal Ruling)
Offord, Malcolm Reform West Scotland Watch on SPTV

I thank the First Minister for his answer, which was more comprehensive than I expected. I was dreading him coming back with a long-winded, “No comment,” which begs the question of whether saying, “No comment,” is ever an acceptable response to a sequence of serious questions.

He will be aware that all that illegal gender policy was implemented by his predecessor, Ms No Comment, who has now fled to London in search of fame, fortune and lower taxes. Is it true that the second edition of Ms Sturgeon’s memoir will be entitled “Frankly, I Don’t Give a Damn”? Meanwhile, we have heard that Ms No Comment is to star in a TV show playing the role of the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Frankly, you could not make that up. Is it part of John Swinney’s cunning plan?

Does the First Minister agree with me that the “No comment” saga must be part of the forthcoming inquiry into Murrellgate?
