If this is all linked then it looks like it may not have been a hoax.SadAngry

Women and girls are expected to share with people who are physically stronger, have been threatening us, are convicted of battery and if this is now a bomber, this is unacceptable. We can't be expected to share when we don't know who is capable of this behaviour and who is not.

There is a trans person who co authors with himself.

It may just be coincidence. No mention at all in local press about the threat to WPUK though Angry

Hello. I am a trans woman. A bomb threat to A Woman's Place is revolting, and I condemn it- and it appears to come from a misogynist nutter who hates feminists in general rather than feminists obsessed with trans in particular. Not a trans person.

Trans people are individuals. Trans activists are individuals. Each person who does something like this bomb threat is responsible for their own actions. No trans person has any responsibility for it.

If you want the twitter account suspended, report it.

PointlessTV · 16/06/2018 10:09

Do you have a link?

SugarButterFlour · 16/06/2018 09:46

Local paper reporting that a bomb squad was called to a local address. Wonder if it's linked

AngryAttackKittens · 16/06/2018 09:35

If anyone does report him the excuse will no doubt be "I meant that I had accidentally left my phone there" or some bollocks like that.

Whisky2014 · 16/06/2018 09:31

I really want to post a link to a vibrator and ask him if that's the device Grin

AngryAttackKittens · 16/06/2018 09:24

Ah, no wonder everyone keeps getting the spelling mixed up.

I guess "Natasha" is like "Aiden" is for young trans people who wish they were male.

JoanSummers · 16/06/2018 09:23

And these are the people Mumsnet HQ support
Yep.

So this Natasha is writes academic papers with their alternate persona Natasha?
No this is Natasha Scott, the 'academic' is Natacha Kennedy (on a part time basis).

MipMipMip · 16/06/2018 08:48

I carefully didn't report the threat. I want the world to see what's going on. I did screen shot as well but having the tweet in there shows the whole thread. If others are thinking the same that could be why the account is still active.

PointlessTV · 16/06/2018 08:02

How is that Twitter account still active?

... and Green Party women, Communist women, Morning Star readers, lesbians, transsexuals, women who take part in Pride marches, teachers, nurses, psychologists, care workers.

The TRA lump us all together and call us "Far Right reactionaries."

Kettlepotblackagain · 16/06/2018 00:11

So we risk being banned from social media for calling a man a man and this fucker can make a bomb threat and his account is still active?

I think he deliberately miss-spelled 'device' to avoid prosecution.

He then repeated the threat with the correct spelling and the police cc'd in:

pinkgirl1234 · 15/06/2018 23:22

I'm confused. Who made the threat? Is it that @kfcwigger person?

Twitter bamboozles me!!

"Hidden device" sounds sinister.

crunchymint · 15/06/2018 22:51

Yes. Surely making a bomb threat is a serious criminal offence?

R0wantrees · 15/06/2018 22:46

Nor inciting violence.

crunchymint · 15/06/2018 22:45

Probably a troll, but hope he gets prosecuted. No one should be threatening violence.

AngryAttackKittens · 15/06/2018 22:44

It is like the Crusades and the women's loo is the holy land that they must take for their own to drive out the infidels. Yanno, females.

Someone should make an overdramatic Oscar bait film about it. Just don't let Mel Gibson direct.

MipMipMip · 15/06/2018 22:40

Has anyone reported Natasha? I would guess police complaints commission but not sure -there will be someone. Will work best if the complainant is from the area.

I agree that this needs to be in AIBU. Something like AIBU to think that saying you're planting a device at a women's meeting should be classed as terrorism? If someone will be online for a bit maybe they could start one? I'm off shortly or I would - a lot of people take more notice of the OP's post than others so they need to keep at it.
