How far #MorayCouncil has fallen. They seem to forget that the law applies to them and that their local #homeed policy must be compliant with overarching legislation inc #namedperson judgment. Complaints are stacking up. #homeeducation #equalstatus #maladministration

Well, true to form, scot gov 'proceeded until apprehended' by For Women Scotland and the Supreme Court. Another humiliating defeat at taxpayers' expense as costs will no doubt be awarded.

“…it was with considerable concern and dismay that we read reports of Ms Chapman MSP addressing a public gathering in the wake of the recent ruling in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers.” bit.ly/4is6McW

#RogerDaltrey was awesome in #Dundee last night. 81 years old and stormed through a 2 hour set with a talented line-up of musicians. That voice is still amazing and transported us back to our youth. #justaboy #livemusic

It is a matter of historic record that when Parliament passed the Education Act of 1944, it deliberately safeguarded the right of parents — not the state — to determine their children’s education, as a bulwark against totalitarianism. (4/5) LabourList

It's time to pause and reflect on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, contravenes ECHR Article 14 according to KC Aiden O'Neill. Read more in the long version of my speech below and repost to your local MP/Peer and Advisors. (5/5) tinyurl.com/ProtectHE LabourList

The authoritarians are still determined to remove #Article8 rights from #homeed children & families. #Namedperson judgment and Aidan O'Neil KC opinion should give pause. #homeeducation #uncrc #ruleoflaw #homeeduphobia From the WM JCHR in 2004. publications.parliament.uk/pa/jt200304/jt…

The Victoria Climbié Foundation UK are deeply concerned about the dangers to children and their families from measures included in the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, as are other safeguarding and child protection experts. rightsforchildren.uk/dangerousbills/

For decades the Foundation has reminded those in power that the problem is not that children are ‘hidden’ but that children known to the system are not helped. The tragedy of Sara Sharif was that she was not protected nor the systemic failures addressed... vcf-uk.org/vcf-briefing-o…

“Reforms must strengthen child protection not weaken it”. Eileen Munro, who led the 2011 child protection review after Baby P’s death has raised serious concerns about the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill thetimes.com/article/d5d555… 1/5

So we older people can no longer trust the NHS as we're an actual or potential drain on resources. Not that I have done since they failed my late husband who was terminally ill and essentially culled. State sponsored killing with no safeguards is truly evil. #assistedsuicide

When Ross Greer was still in short trousers, home educators were resisting the authoritarian Scottish state. Those most vociferously opposed to #homeed are primarily #rentseeking #vestedinterests, and schools are now failing even more alarmingly than my commentary from 2001.

🧵Sneaky stage 3 amendments to #EducationBill designed to distress home educators, many of whose children have been systematically failed by schools. Shame on the Greens (and the rest of the rights-trashing authoritarians).

And this is just the last 3 years. Named person case was another expensive disaster, same wilfully blind MO. Scottish Government has spent £480,000 in legal costs on Named Person Scheme scotsman.com/news/politics/… David Scott
