So, hands up if you have been blocked by LM on Twitter?

Due to the fact that I have never actually had any contact with LM, and had only liked (or did the heart thing - I'm a bit Twitter illiterate) 2 comments on a Twitter feed (1 - very politely pointed out that LM has not actually spoken about a single women's issue since being in the role and 2 - pointed out, again politely, that LM seems to be more interested in trans issues than women's issues).. I'm going to assume it doesn't take much to be blocked by LM.

I have never posted anything derogatory or even commented on anything to do with LM On Twitter.

Have I managed to be no platformed without actually saying a word? Hmm

I’m not on Twitter but just took a screenshot. What’s this all about?

So, hands up if you have been blocked by LM on Twitter?

I’m blocked, can’t quite muster up giving a shit.

I too am blockedGrin I follow & retweet several GC members WPUK etc . Have never interacted with LM. What's this terfblocker thingy?

hackmum · 21/02/2018 07:59

I'm blocked! It didn't make much, tbh - I didn't even engage with LM directly, just "liked" a couple of gender-critical tweets and occasionally wrote supportive comments under other people's tweets.

MyVisionsComeFromSoup · 21/02/2018 07:47

I'm not blocked (yet) although it's a specially set up GC twitter account. Ive only retweeted stuff so far, not actually replied to anyone. Might do that later, and see what happens.

It doesn't look great for the Labour party does it. I'm sensing a theme here...

5 hours ago she was on about purging members who don't agree with her.

Fucking idiot this one.
And a totally bloody liability for the left.

BeatriceJoanna · 21/02/2018 07:05

raises hand

Never tweeted LM directly but follow lots of 'evil' TERFs and, as eny fule no, TERFs are far worse than fascists, Tories, controlling parents, murderers, black pudding, pineapple on pizza, etc. etc.

So I totally deserve it.

NotAWhacktivist · 21/02/2018 02:10

Just decided to check if I am blocked. I am and I have already made the terf blocker list after 21 days on twitter.

I don't think I had any interaction with Lily (unless I answered someone else and the reply automatically included lily. I did this with Paris Lees recently as I didn't notice they were listed as a recipient when I was answering someone else).

Question - is it theoretically possible that they are just adding everyone that uses the search function to see if they are on it?

Is it possible?
I mean, I got caught in jeffreygate and had my password broadcast to the four winds. I'm not terribly geekworthy.

OkPedro · 21/02/2018 00:30

I've just been blocked 😂

Madigan is the 20 year old male who was elected women's officer and has been heading up a purge of women from the Labour Party.

thebewilderness · 21/02/2018 00:18

This is my third week on twitter and I just checked a bit ago. I am blocked by The MRA Madigan.

soup00 · 21/02/2018 00:17

And who is lily Madigan?

Writersblock2 · 21/02/2018 00:00

I’m not blocked yet and I’m not sure why. My account is full of GC and I’ve commented on his tweets. Damn it!

BluePony · 20/02/2018 23:43

Is her Twitter madigan_lily??

Bizarrely not.

OlennasWimple · 20/02/2018 23:20

Have you looked up what "peak oil" means yet?

OlennasWimple · 20/02/2018 23:19

If you're blocked, you will have missed out on such gems as this statement of support for the one of the candidates running for a Youth Labour position:

twitter.com/green_gatsby_/status/966083397796933633

"Kira is a great example of what young people are capable of. Even though she's running for U19 Officer she has a political intelligence most adults will never have. She has led complex campaigns to save LGBT groups and spoken up numerous times on issues important to her. She has an ingrained experience of political structures - having participated in Youth Parliament and and through her work in the party, and if elected will provide a vocal voice to members that are too often sidelined. Whoever has the youth has the power and Labour is very lucky to have Kira. I'd urge you to give her your vote."

"vocal voice" is probably my favourite, though there are lots to chose from...

CunningOperative · 20/02/2018 23:17

I'm not blocked. How is that fair?! I'm on the terfblocker list and even tweeted at LM once and still haven't been blocked.
