To be completely shocked about someone I used to know

Bloody hell I thought you were going to say she had defended her paedophile husband/abused and murdered her kids/ abused her elderly relative etc.
At the very least

Yes, you are being ridiculous.

She probably had a lucky escape from being your friend tbh. I agree with another poster, the far leftare the most intolerant people ever and literally hate anybody with different views to them. You do not know this woman’s life story and have no right to tell anybody how to think or behave. Who says people with far right views are not nice people?

I Might have given the impression that I knew her less than I did, while we weren’t close friends I knew her for about six years. We volunteered over that time for our kids’ school.
I have nothing but praise for her. She never indulged in gossip and didn’t attract or cause any drama unlike a lot of others there.
Somebody asked whether I would have been shocked had she been on the far left. I probably would’ve been shocked but not as shocked. I would have imagined she was reasonably centre like me.
Anything that is not mainstream politically shocks me.
I knew I was going to get pasted on here for my visceral response and I can live with that but I couldn’t help it, I felt really ill when I realised what she is like.

It's not Kemi Badenoch is it? Her views are vile.

When my youngest was at primary school I really liked this woman who had kids either side of mine.

She was in the PTA equivalent and was just a nice woman. There was no drama around her.

I remember having a day off and went into the local cafe, and she invited me to sit with her friends. She was funny, warm and witty.

Significantly, she had friends of all ethnicities and her best friend was Asian.

Everybody will relate to being busy but I think if it was a different time in my life or we had kids in same year we would have been mates.

I am absolutely shocked that she is a member of a right wing political party and has a presence in that party, utterly and completely shocked.

I know it’s not illegal but God.

All three of my siblings are Tories, I’m not someone who thinks everyone has to think like me but I am stunned.

Mumsnet hates this, but I have had a physical reaction to the news. I am just Gobsmacked and weirdly let down and I do know that’s a stupid, irrational thing to say.

She is literally the person she is. That you knew.

your issue here is that you’re judgemental attitude has been challenged. Be more open minded.

I think we may have matching fascist badges …😂😂

I’m sorry you don’t understand simple political concepts 😢

I have been called a fascist for knowing that women don't have penises.

I don't blame any woman actively voting to keep the Labour Party out of government in the hope that women's single sex spaces won't be lost. And in the hope that children won't continue to be medically harmed for a belief that they have been born wrong.

We are not obliged to vote for a party that doesn't recognise women as fully human. If the leader of the Labour Party can say that some women have penises then it means that he doesn't recognise us as distinct from males.

There is no compassion in a party that is prepared to treat 51% of the population in this way. Certainly no compassion for the most vulnerable women who will be harmed as a result of putting the wishes of males above the needs of females.

it is not for me to judge how anyone decides to vote.

I remain undecided. If Labour grow a back bone and stop bowing down to the trans activists then I might be able to vote for them.
