I donated using my name, and have had no emails other than updates.
Will donate again after payday.

Been out today with DD and the DGD, 3 hour drive mostly spent debating this issue - DD and I both agree this is so important, how can we not fight it?

PlectrumElectrum · 19/01/2018 22:16

Need to go back & catch up.

MorrisZapp · 19/01/2018 22:15

Ok next fundraiser we'll all be Rummidgers :) Desiree would wipe the floor with le tout twittersphere. Morris would think, which stance will get me the most sex? I dare say his tastes run to fun fems so it's not looking good.

Hilary's dressing gown has a zip so she's deep in TERF territory.

SixesSevens · 19/01/2018 22:14

Just read a tweet that says someone donated in their own name and the donation was returned...

QuentinSummers · 19/01/2018 22:11

I've met Bob Holness. He was absolutely lovely.

Ekphrasis · 19/01/2018 22:10

Gosh it's all gone crazy this eve!

No email here- I posted in my own name (as couldn't work out how to deal anon. Not the same as my email; also, I didn't share it on face book - wonder if that makes a difference? I couldn't create an account either, it was being too slow.

I feel hope this isn't something very sinister.

Unless we can find a real Phil swallow and get him to donate... Wink

You're right, hairy. Poor Philip - this would be a torment to him!

Phillip Swallow totally sounds like a porn character.

I am a bit miffed that the opportunity to use it in the fundraising page has now gone. Damn you, Jack Monroe.

BelligerentGardenPixies · 19/01/2018 21:20

Nearly 17 grand! Over a hundred donated in the last hour alone.

HairyBallTheorem · 19/01/2018 21:12

Philip Swallow would be publicly sitting on the fence so hard he got piles, while secretly thinking TERFY thoughts then feeling conflicted about them.

I've always loved your screen name morris

The Rummidge Uni novels are so fab. Might reread them soon. I suspect that Morris might have fallen down a transwome-are-women po-mo hole, but Phillip Swallow wouldn't and Desiree would surely have been a massive terf!

My favourite quote of this week on Mumsnet:

Brocialists:

Trans inclusionary in the tweets
Trans exclusionary in the sheets

MorrisZapp · 19/01/2018 21:05

Bob played James Bond in his youth don't you know. (voice only but still, phwoar).

There's a lot going on. Some nob end in red lippy (Sali did say there's a red lipstick for everyone) is making 'a powerful statement' on channel four news' twitter feed. Charlotte is being hailed as a modern beacon of tolerance and diversity.

Shame he was a disgusting misogynist with an entire hashtag about his abuses of women and black people until last Tuesday, when he was still Charles.

What an epic shower of twats.

BeyondWW · 19/01/2018 21:01

Lots of real (I assume, they're not ones I recognise) names now, not anon. People have reached DGAF over this today, I reckon Grin

ATeardropExplodes · 19/01/2018 21:00

Often the raging TERFs are the silent ones. They can't risk a torrent of abuse so just keep quiet.

Mner · 19/01/2018 21:00

Flippin heck, things are moving fast. I donated anonymously so at the moment, my donation still stands.

GuardianLions · 19/01/2018 20:59

Brilliant 1000!!!!

ATeardropExplodes · 19/01/2018 20:58

He probably just doesn't want to get dragged into a Ralf moment.

SpartacusReality · 19/01/2018 20:57

I don't know what Robin Ince is actually saying. I don't know how to screenshot, but someone replied to him saying (I paraphrase) use of the word TERF is vile, and he replied "on this occasion I am not referring to that with my previous tweet". So perhaps his original tweet was nothing to do with trans issues? Or it is?? No idea what's going on there.

Terrylene · 19/01/2018 20:57

Yay!! 1000 donors Smile Early night tonight zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ATeardropExplodes · 19/01/2018 20:57

Back up to 1000. That didn't take long.

Popchyk · 19/01/2018 20:51

WWBD? What would Bob do?

That's how I live my life.

BelligerentGardenPixies · 19/01/2018 20:49

Grin - By jove I think you've cracked it Popchyk.

GuardianLions · 19/01/2018 20:49

Bob Holness - I haven't thought of him for ages - makes me think of rave culture in the 1990s "Give me an E please Bob"...
