A little Lily M based drama

'posting that all trans people are by definition working class'

Did Lily really say that?

I knew being trans meant you were automatically less privileged than everyone else but I didn't know it literally made you working class.

How can Labour still claim to represent the working class when they let one of their proteges make claims like that? How can the actual working class tolerate the appropriation? Doesn't it make the Labour party look utterly fucking demented and irrelevant?

It's really interesting, Lily's twitter feed is a silo of so-beautiful-so-brave, and the FB page is not. I suspect a lot of Lily's problems stem from surrounding themselves with sycophants and then they have absolutely no ability to cope when someone with critical thinking comes along.

I'm a bit worried about Lily. This is a person who's getting thinner and more strident by the day. I do hope someone is actually looking after Lily.

So that's at least the second time LM has manage to remove an elected woman who disagrees with him.

This is supposed to be the opposition? This is not really encouraging me to vote for them, to put it mildly.

Lily posted a picture of Lily and Cara Delavingne having a picnic as evidence of Lily's influence

About ten seconds after posting that all trans people are by definition working class! I had to stop reading at that point - needed a swift trip to the loo cos was in danger of pissing my pants.

'I don't understand how they can beleive their system of kangaroo courts is better than the carceral feminism they rail against.'

Because carceral feminism involves disciplining both men and women, while kangaroo courts let the men off and only punish women, I would think.
definitely much better if you're a boy who wants to do what he wants and also bully women.

So Lily's mates are sub-letting slum landlords, who turfed someone's belongings onto the street. Hardly socialist!

But what's clear is that because Morgan is known as gender critical, a tangential link so some spotty student bloke who crayoned their bedroom wall in a house that has nothing to do with LM, has been used to sack her for transphobia.

I think my favourite is the one pointing out that working-class people couldn't care less if Lily was on the cover of Teen Vogue.

That was great! And Lily posted a picture of Lily and Cara Delavingne having a picnic as evidence of Lily's influence 😁

I need a link to the trousers.

I’m trying to keep up. Have the unwanted Ben Sherman trousers changed gender yet?

The SYL people involved in this fiasco should resign en masse for bringing the party in to disrepute.

From what Madigan has said in the Facebook thread it seems that Madigan has been gunning for Morgan for some time and seized upon this as a chance to get rid of a political opponent. Madigan doesn't seem to care if the allegations are true or not, Madigan appears to believe the ends justify the means.

I don't understand how they can beleive their system of kangaroo courts is better than the carceral feminism they rail against.

That Facebook thread.

Complete with Lily fan berating the 'transphobes' for criticising Lily, because Lily is a 'young vulnerable woman' - but also somehow a capable politician? And then Lily's claim to have 'led' a campaign to save Sure Start Centres, neatly disproved.

I think my favourite is the one pointing out that working-class people couldn't care less if Lily was on the cover of Teen Vogue.

That FB page for the Young Eejits is comedy gold.

The only significant achievement LM has is in removing women from their Labour Party posts, how very feminist.

ouch.

I don’t remember one party we had as students where we had to repaint and partially recarpet one room (because of burn marks) and repaint and reglaze a window in another. A quick wipe round with a magic sponge and a ten minute hunt to find some blu tac to rehang the posters is not a traumatic clear up you pussies.

I can’t be the only one thinking “Sure Jan”, on reading that the protagonist was upstairs “asleep” whilst violent marauders laid rampage to his dwellings. I’d bet a pound of cheese that he was awake the whole time and sent his girlfriend down to deal with them.

So - LM (and others agreeing with LM on this issue) are fabricating the story that an evil "T*f gang" broke in and vandalised the house because of being t*fy?

I’m as ‘t**fy’ as the next GC person, but there’s literally nothing that could induce me to cross the threshold of a student dwelling.

I love that poem! I have the young ones book too.

I read somewhere in the twitter rabbit hole that the sub letter paid £500 a month for part of a living room seperated out by a cheap bookcase. He intended to repaint thr room before leaving but was prevented from doing so.

The graffiti was confined to his room, so could only cause offence because his privacy was invaded. Or maybe they knocked down the bookcase?

It sounds like no one was happy with the living arrangement (flat shares can be awkward at the best of times) but the illegal subletters used this as an excuse to expedite the process and kick him out on the street.

I really hope their landlord takes note and appropriate action.

Again, looking at the bigger picture - who loses out here?

Action of several men have resulted in a woman being pushed out of a position with no due process.

And that is how we can tell who is and isn't female.

SO
Morgan
who didn't write something
that could be taken as either calling people TERFs or
claiming to be TERFs
on the wall of a house that's not Lily's
when Lily was nowhere near
has been fired for
...erm...

Nope, I'm lost.

oh god,
why
am I so much more sensitive than everybody else ?
why
do I feel things so much more acutely than them,
and understand so much more.
I bet I'm the first person who's ever felt as rotten as this.
could it be
that I'm going to grow up
to be a great poet and thinker, and all those other wankers in my class
are going to have to work in factories or go on the dole?
yes, I think it could.

Haven't read the full thread yet but just had to say I am utterly PMSL and 'well Ze started it' - thanks for making me snort my coffee out
