Guess how I got suspended from the Labour Party?

Well, one of the weirdest days in my life concluded with me receiving a letter informing me of my immediate suspension from the Labour Party. They believe I may have breached the rules by subverting the intention of All Women Shortlists, Women’s Officers or minimum quotas for women. Unfortunately, this does mean that my political ambitions are on hold for a while. I shall of course be continuing to self-identify as a woman every Wednesday, as that is my gender identity...

I have to say a huge thanks to @namechangeah for all her help, guidance and, more importantly, proof-reading! I wouldn’t have gotten to this point without it. I’d also like to thank everyone for their support today. I hope this has helped a bit.

And the Telegraph called me an “activist”! Achievement unlocked Grin

That Debbie H & Sweary G cooked him up in the pub, with Elvis serving at the bar

This doesn’t work for Katie because they’ve decided I’m imaginary too.

Katie is now working under the assumption that David is a member of WPUK who has been intensively coached to do this. Because he doesn’t have an actual brain of his own or anything Hmm

Male sure it's a Wednesday - I look forward to hearing your baby raspy breathless voice that you have to do (as that's how the girls speak).

@TimeLady Thanks! I’ve been getting a fair bit of positive feedback on the article, so it was well worth the effort.

Being Sandied is huge honour. I’ve enjoyed her work for a while, so I’m really quite touched.

I’ve been receiving a few requests for interviews, but I’m suggesting Fair Play for Women’s Dr Nicola Williams as someone who can talk better than I on the points my hairy chin is raising. Seems I might now need to agree to an interview to validate my existence, let alone my gender identity.

That’s... an odd feeling Hmm.

‘Mr. Lewis was last seen riding into the sunset on Shergar, with an accomplice dressed in a white spangled jumpsuit. Upon asking if Mr. Lewis was real, the accomplice merely said ‘ah-uhuh.’

Police are baffled.

BeyondPink · 25/05/2018 17:37

Yeah it'll be the Russians. It's always the Russians.

ToeToToe · 25/05/2018 17:36

Should say at least 2 accusations. Both by Katie Grin

ToeToToe · 25/05/2018 17:35

There were (at least) accusations of David fakery ( Grin )

  1. That Debbie H & Sweary G cooked him up in the pub, with Elvis serving at the bar.
  1. James Kirkup and Rupert Murdoch made him up (with Russian involvement too I think Confused I got a bit lost at that point!)
Bowlofbabelfish · 25/05/2018 17:33

Oh have we finally got an example of the ‘youre Denying My Right To Exist!’ trope?

From the nasty feminis... oh no. No it’s not Grin

ChattyLion · 25/05/2018 17:30

LOL that is the most hilarious bit of projection- that David Lewis is made up.
I really don’t think it’s the gender critical side in this debate Hmm that has the loose relationship with the truth from the various tactics I have seen.

But OTOH... imagine if we DID have the power to just imagine a whole new gender critical campaign and then get it covered in the mainstream media.
I’d totally pick that as my superpower Grin

Katie's twitter feed is kind of like the old saying "Don't play chess with pigeons - the pigeon will just knock all the pieces over, and then fly back to their mates and say they won...^ (I paraphrase)

ToeToToe · 25/05/2018 17:27

Yes, it was Katie....

Ereshkigal · 25/05/2018 17:24

Was that Katie? I saw that.

ToeToToe · 25/05/2018 17:22

Ha! Yes - they literally erased David's existence on Twitter. I don't know if I should link to it?

BeyondPink · 25/05/2018 14:58

"questioning David's existence on Twitter last night - thought we'd made him up"

What, like literally claiming he literally doesn't exist?! The literal violence of it!! Shock

Cwenthryth · 25/05/2018 14:49

Who has apologised to WPUK - I'm confused (easily done)

It doesn't seem that Jane Fae read the article before commenting on it. The contribution just reads as frothing about the audacity, rather than actually addressing the points made.

ChattyLion · 25/05/2018 14:40

Sandy has completely nailed it. Love her!

TimeLady · 25/05/2018 13:56

Excellent article in the Sun, David. Thank you.

Simple and to the point.

MipMipMip · 25/05/2018 13:22

Not seen the overdue apology to Woman's Place - has anyone got a link?

Mossandclover · 25/05/2018 13:17

I don’t get the JF comment - the situation DL described as having happened to himself over the last few days does not happen??

HerFemaleness · 25/05/2018 12:57

I like this one.

Guess how I got suspended from the Labour Party?
ToeToToe · 25/05/2018 12:54

David's been properly Sandied here Grin It's an honour, David.

People Transactivists were questioning David's existence on Twitter last night - thought we'd made him up - which was funny, if a little strange Confused

NotBadConsidering · 25/05/2018 12:40

Dudebro looks very familiar....[skips over to Guardian writers' profiles page]

LangCleg · 25/05/2018 12:26

I just came to post that! David! You have been Sandied!

Melamin · 25/05/2018 12:14

That is a really good one. Thanks for posting it Gasp0de Smile
