Let's see him try to sell the idea that he was scared that the older woman he attacked would hurt him.

I'm torn between being cautiously optimistic, because it's a pretty good test case in terms of seeing if Tumblr/Twitter rhetoric is credible to regular members of the public when stated in real life by a person who they can clearly see is not the dainty little flower they're framing themselves as, and feeling life if they let Worboys off so lightly someone would have to literally murder a small child right in front of the judge for them to admit that some men are dangerous.

I don't understand how anyone could listen to Tara/Tanis talk about violence against trans without laughing in his face.

So tired of this misogyny. And sadly, after cases like Ched Evans, Worboys and so many more, I have zero faith in the justice system.

Nc too. Love Kissmaicis and cismyfatarse.

@chchchc that motion needs to add something about AWS for use in LP meetings.

PollyCotton · 25/01/2018 00:43

I NC too, because we can self-ID as anything we like, right?!

Justabunchofcunts · 25/01/2018 00:32

Also name changed. Hello lovely ladies.

Chchchchangeabout · 25/01/2018 00:21

YesIt
Thats so cheering in this sea of madness.

Hello my lovelies.

Some good news, I hope. I attended my branch meeting this evening and raised the issue of the witch-hunt. Most of the members hadn’t heard anything about self-ID so I swiftly filled them in, resulting in general outrage. There was much hilarity among some of the older and burlier members proposing each other for various women’s offices and general disbelief that this is what their Labour Party is supporting. One lovely old gent remarked on how nice it was to be discussing such a big political issue Smile The disclosure of members’ details was treated very seriously and the whole lot is being raised with the CLP secretary and at the GC and borough meetings this week. It was unanimously agreed that self-ID is wrong and that doxing, threats etc. should be a police matter. The more experienced members also recommended reporting the List to the members’ hotline, which I’ll investigate.

did you read this? If they have copied stuff from your social media page without permission, they may well be in serious trouble with the ICO. Again.

Loving the new names!

Gileswithachainsaw · 24/01/2018 23:25

Checking in for the updates Smile

AngryAttackKittens · 24/01/2018 23:23

It will be amusing to see the response from the judge if Tara tries Tumblr style "it's OK to punch TERFs because they're not human" arguments in court.

PracticallyTerfectInEveryWay · 24/01/2018 23:23

Evening all. Like the new names.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 24/01/2018 23:21

Tara Wood (born Tanis Jacob Wolf - so posh!) has been charged with 'assault by beating' against a 60-year-old woman.

Fantastic news. Wonder why it took so long.

Cismyfatarse1 · 24/01/2018 22:42

New name. And picture.

TortiousTortoise · 24/01/2018 22:41

HomeTerf, love it Grin

KissMaCis · 24/01/2018 22:41

I’m sure this has been done to death, but...

Just place marking. Im going to name change shortly.

AreYouOrHaveYouEverBeenATERF · 24/01/2018 22:38

How about this - suitable for the new McCarthyist era in the Labour Party?

Have fun spying on us all, lads, but you know you're probably breaking the law with your little lists.

KissMaCis · 24/01/2018 22:24

Loving new names! 👏🏻👏🏻 there will be serious reprocussions if we dead name our previous monikers.
