I am worried

About lily

Are they living at home - where is their mum and dad? I am concerned about their wellbeing.
I know they are 20 and at 20 I was married with a mortgage and a baby but Lily does seem very immature- and that worries me.

Is there anyone here who knows their parents etc? I think lily needs their help.

Ok I don't believe they are in the right at all and lily isn't behaving well but probably it's the Mum in me who is concerned... yes I know I have been conditioned to feel this way!!!

This is ridiculous

Lily is 20. Lily is adult enough to be a Women's Officer. Lily is responsible for herself. She can visit her gp like anyone else if she's in need of help.

Her actions are harming other people. She doesn't need your concern.

Lily is an arrogant narcissist who needs to grow the fuck up.

LM is no contact with LM's "transphobic bigot" parents, yet still lives with them. So don't be too worried, LM's parents are aware afaik of LM's umm... problems.

I feel sorry for the parents and siblings

JustHooking · 22/01/2018 13:11

I hardly think concern for Lily is a feminist issue
How about concerns for the women being hounded by Lily and their cronies

Such a clearly passive aggressive post OP. Yawn.

If LIly Madigan's parents are reading this I can only suggest you explicitly keep channels of communication open but otherwise stand back. I wouldn't be baling him out financially for example. It must be very painful to see you child act out like this.

No one knows who Lily really is and as for them being left alone at 20, well unless there is serious adult learning difficulties involved, it's a non starter.

newtlover · 22/01/2018 13:07

I get where you are coming from but there are thousands of kids out there to feel concerned about, there are people MUCH closer to this boy who (IMO) should be lookin out for him, not necessarily his parents as it seems they have been rejected. If I was in his local party, for example, or his tutor, I'd be asking myself serious questions.

Sorry, gotta ask, who is Lily? Why is it a worry that a 20 year old is left on their own?

Actually, I suspect Lily is more likely to end up on Big brother, but I kind of feel like both career paths attract the same personalities.

scramwich · 22/01/2018 13:02

Sorry, but Lily is a 20 year old adult. We've got plenty of 20 year olds on MN, happily raising their own children.

Lily is a narcissist, but I think most politicians have that element to their personality. It'll probably help Lily's career in the long run.

Can we NOT? "Lily" is a 20 year old political activist. We don't need to start mothering him.

badbadhusky · 22/01/2018 12:56

I’d be reserving my concern for the safety of the women named on the list, one of whom denounced the abuse loudly on Twitter yesterday citing the adverse impact similar, earlier abuse had already had on her 11 year old daughter. She pointed out she wasn’t even a Labour member!

This is not OK.

Does Lily not often slander her parents? They must be distracted by all this. God help them.
