Prosecuting
lawyers were urged by
the
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), in July,
not
to use biologically-correct pronouns
and
names
for
transgender
victims,
witnesses and defendants.
The new CPS guidance also uses a subjective
definition of a ‘hate crime’. The Christian
Institute warned
that
the guidance could
require people to lie. CPS said: ‘Prosecutors
should address trans victims, witnesses and
defendants according to their affirmed gender
and name, using
that gender and related
pronouns in all documentation and in the courtroom.’
Scotland drugs
The Christian Institute/Unherd
Scotland’s Lord Advocate has said that drug
consumption rooms are not permissible
under current law amid efforts to open one
in Glasgow.
The rooms, branded
‘shooting galleries’,
let heroin addicts inject themselves without
getting arrested. It comes as
latest figures
reveal Scotland has the worst drug death rates
in the Western world. Scottish rapper and
social commentator Darren ‘Loki’ McGarvey
also said addiction is ‘out of control’ there,
but nothing is being done about it.
