Will Holyrood do anything about attacks on the Supreme Court?

As the independent bar in Scotland, the Faculty of Advocates is by necessity a reserved and disinterested body. It does not issue letters like the one that has gone out this morning to Karen Adam, the convenor of Holyrood’s equalities, human rights and civil justice committee. The correspondence takes issue, in blistering terms, with the conduct of Adam’s deputy, Maggie Chapman, a Green MSP and one of the most vocal proponents of gender identity ideology in Scotland.

In a video shared widely on social media, Chapman addressed a rally in response to the Supreme Court’s judgment in For Women Scotland vs The Scottish Ministers, which ruled that the definition of ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ in the Equality Act refers to biological sex. This marked a major setback for gender activists and efforts to pass off their preferred policy of self-identification as the law of the land.

The video shows Chapman denouncing the ‘bigotry, prejudice and hatred that we see coming from the Supreme Court’.
