I've recently become addicted to a Gofundme campaign. Every time I press refresh the total raised has jumped up and I don't seem to be able to stop.

I'm trying to stay within Mumsnet rules here, so obviously I can't link or promote it.

Does anyone else have this enjoyable problem?

Just properly snorted at Shania Twain! Wink

Sorry MrsTerry!

Terries are like busses; none then two come along...!

Ekphrasis · 16/01/2018 21:55

Ah thanks Terry.

MMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm Where certain celebrities have donated for several campaigns, if you click on them, they give a list of what has been donated - but by someone else??? Hmm If you are one of those celebrities, it might need looking at.

I had to do it on the PC to tick the anonymous box. Are you on your phone?

Backingvocals · 16/01/2018 21:45

Great thread. I donated. In my own name. I hope they try to expel me - I’ve already resigned Grin.

Ekphrasis · 16/01/2018 21:44

How do you make it anon? Mine wasn't :(

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/01/2018 21:40

Shania Twain too!

BeyondWW · 16/01/2018 21:13

£14,901
Reckon it's gonna go over £15k before bedtime...?

Terrylene · 16/01/2018 21:12

Nice to see RL has made another donation, and CS has joined in Smile

TheXXFactor · 16/01/2018 21:04

Every time I see the phrase "transwomen are women" I want to respond with "Four legs good, two legs better."

I frequently respond with "We have always been at war with East Asia" Smile

If everyone on the list is to be expelled that means bye bye to Lily Madigan and Jeremy Corbyn. Grin

ThomasRichard · 16/01/2018 20:56

Talk about expulsion makes me feel like I’m at Hogwarts. Surely that makes me a bona fide witch?

Patodp · 16/01/2018 20:43

Lily Madigan wants us all expelled.

whoputthecatout · 16/01/2018 20:40

Considering the Labour party thinks it is better placed to govern it does seem to struggle with facts.

I am utterly gobsmacked at supposedly normal, sensible people joining in a mass hissy fit over women daring to have the right to appeal to law.

Over a decision there was NO consultation about.

Which massively and negatively affects the legal rights of every woman and girl in the country, which should be obvious to anyone with a grain of intelligence.

But mentioning that isn't nice and women should be ashamed. That's it. That's all. That's enough of a reason to take away women's legal rights as if they're nothing.

Terrylene · 16/01/2018 20:34

Ralph Little seems to be backtracking in the face of reasoned polite pointing out what the law actually is. Might have a little further to go but is squeezing out of the corner he backed himself into..........

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 16/01/2018 20:29

I wished I’d donated with my name now - am a labour member and will happily email Christine Shawcroft and own up to my “crime”. Throw me out for all I care, I was going to stay and try to fight from within, but oh well.

BeyondWW · 16/01/2018 20:24

I saw a donation in Ralf Littles name earlier -I wondered where that had come from! Grin tosser

Terrylene · 16/01/2018 20:24

Just donate in the name of CS Grin

gunsandbanjos · 16/01/2018 20:22

Fuck sake... I had so much respect for Ralf Little when he called out Jeremy Hunt, now just looks like he jumps on every bandwagon.

I now wish I handnt flounced over JCs handling of Brexit and had saved my flounce for this grrrr

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 16/01/2018 20:12

Huffington Post says New head of discipline is Christine Shawcroft, and that immediately after being elected she chucked out several pending anti semitism investigations. I donated using my real name, which is an unusual one. Bring. It. On.
