Here's a little explainer of why the Stand comedy club banned Joanna Cherry.

Joanna Cherry is an SNP politician. The SNP are split into two factions. Progressive gender ideologists like Sturgeon and Yousaf who want anyone to be able to identify as whatever they want (even male rapists who want to go to women's prison) and children to transition younger.

And feminists like Cherry who want women's rights and spaces protected, and are called transphobes as a result. Cherry used to be on the front bench of the SNP and was a rival of Sturgeon's. Sturgeon used accusations of transphobia to depose Cherry to the back benches.

Cherry is a lawyer and represented a political dissident, Marion Millar, who was arrested for hate crimes including posting a picture of a suffragette ribbon (this was deemed "transphobic").

The Stand clubs are owned by an SNP politician Tommy Sheppard. Comedians like me who criticise the SNP's gender ideology are banned. It's a Putinesque way of stifling criticism of the SNP.

I've no doubt staff at the Stand did complain about Cherry. Blue haired angry youths complain about everything. The correct response is to tell them to **** off. Minimum wage teenage peons shouldn't be the arbiters of culture.

This goes deeper than that. This is about the factional war in the SNP, who are disintegrating in front of us. The Scottish parliament should be taken into special measures. And politicians should not own comedy clubs.
