The Scottish nationalist party follow most classical European nationalist parties in that their leaders do not have children.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostAbusing children is as you say, criminalised. Why should there be a special defence against an assault charge, when the victim is a child? They should have more protection, not less, regardless of cultural norms around assaulting children.Comment

Never had to smack any child. 2 days locked in the garden shed with strobe lights and white noise for any minor transgression usually makes them fully compliant by the age of 4.
That's a joke before anyone calls the authorities. And the beating comment was not literal as well, I can distinguish between smacking and beating. Wouldn't ever consider smacking.
Smacking isn't the point here, what this really is about is the SNP not having very much to do other than have that fat tumchie get 2 questions every Wednesday at PMQs. So they make up laws that whilst you disagree with on a libertarian level you wouldn't really want to advocate for the right to continue doing what they are saying you can no longer do. Win for them.
The SNP have poor form in law making on the family. The named person legislation was an abomination. All credit to the Christian institute who got it to supreme court to stop it. Oddly you don't hear much about "Nicola Sturgeon broke the law" when she gets her execute actions overturned.Comment

Two issues with smacking. Firstly it teaches violence is okay. Secondly it is not effective - there are far better solutions. Attention deprivation is usually best.Comment
