Alongside the USA Qanon madness that was Comet Pizza, there was of course a much more local story very similar to this. In Stirling, the Raploch estate became famous for Big Mags. Margaret Haney organised protests over sex offenders on 'her' estate.

I was pleased to co‑sign the EDM tabled by MP for Leeds East, Richard Burgon, recognising the campaign for a Billy Bremner statue in Raploch. A great tribute to a Stirling legend.⚽️

Excellent article & @hleehurley.com can show the truly horrific imbalance in pro & anti trans articles over years. Dr Upton shouldn't have to justify her being herself to anyone & privacy is her absolute right. Interesting parallel to the media boosting of the late #MagsHaney of the #Raploch 1/2
