Madigan's latest campaign

55 replies

Madigan may be seeking attention again (long track record of this), but it seems their latest campaign is to become an MEP.

In between receiving corporate freebies they want to "stand up for" and show "solidarity" for "working-class women".

Wow, comparing the comments from the first sharing of the (propaganda) video in September 2018: mobile.twitter.com/peoplesmomentum/status/1037641263103832064?lang=en

To the April 2019 sharing of the exact same video is astounding!

Progress is definitely being made!

(Just putting them into a single post for easy comparison)

Interesting set of replies to the tweet TheOtherPamAyres shared. So far I like the one calling Momentum ‘Mantantrum’ best. Very true of Owen definitely!

theOtherPamAyres · 19/04/2019 16:51

Go, go, go, Lily!

I'm rooting for you to be selected as a candidate.

Mind you, it won't be a walk over because today, Momentum re-released their dreadful video by transperson Juno Dawson "Can we just skip it?" and the comments on Twitter are probably not what Momentum expected.

Last year when they released it, they got a shed-loads of likes and thanks, but this year the majority of comments express derision or outrage. Those trans supporters who have responded to Momentum are being challenged and they are on the defensive.

Such a shame for Lily that she and her backers are on the Wrong Side of History.

Enjoy!

Madigan's speech that got them elected as National Womens' Officer for Labour Students.

They have now discovered what a suffragette is, and they have now heard of the Dagenham strike.

Not one word about students, student issues, student welfare.

It's just a platform for Madigan, for name recognition, in their ultimate quest to be a Labour MP.

But we don't have to lie about this. Madigan themselves have said they are biologically male and chose to identify as female in their teenage years.

They have spoken quite openly about this.

As long as we are not offensive, why on earth could we not mention Madigan is a biological male, when they themselves have said they are?

Cor! And there was I, thinking Farage’s pound shop Union Jack flags (complete with suction cups) were the most embarrassing thing we’d ever sent to EU Parliament...

Surprised to see her cosying up to the RMT; they are very pro Brexit.

Memeface · 17/04/2019 13:32

Every time I see Madigan face, I feel angrier that I have to actually LIE out loud about the sex of humans like this, whilst all the time the truth is screamingly obvious.

Cismyfatarse1 · 17/04/2019 09:36

And the giant hand engulfing that poor woman's hand. She looks very uncomfortable.

And now identifying as an RMT member! It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Interesting @MNHQ deleting my post that was a direct quote from the article posted...

People will vote for a donkey if it's wearing the right colour rosette.

ChattyLion · 07/04/2019 08:05

Why (at a time of national political crisis or any other time) would anyone vote for an a student with absolutely no political experience to be an MEP? What a very strange idea to propose.

Being an MP or an MEP is a unbelievably relentless, complex, professional work- this seems like treating it like an award on the X factor where you just need to turn up with a compelling back story and then anyone could ‘win’.

Isn't being an MEP a little economic for Lil's? It's not like the EU is like stonewall.

Popchyk · 06/04/2019 23:27

"Christ. This would be more humiliating than Brexit".

Nah, it would be hilarious.

Madigan and Jean-Claude Junker selfies in front of the Mannekin Pis would be beyond awesome.

Make. It. Happen.

I'd pitch in for a crowdfunder for Madigan's campaign but the money would only go on gold lame tracksuits.

RedToothBrush · 06/04/2019 23:03

I dislike Lily and don't think Lily would be capable of doing the job, but the barrier being purely down to a blanket mental health ban is not a nice one. It's why the law in the UK was removed because it disqualified many capable individuals who had conditions managed or not severe in the slightest.

@RedToothBrush

Thank you for pointing that out! Sorry for posting incorrect information.

RedToothBrush · 06/04/2019 22:42

dillydallyXX they look like they are Irish criteria for MEP candidates.

I've just looked at the UK ones and I don't seem to see anything similar. Maybe I missed it.

I know that a history of mental health issues were removed as a barrier to becoming an MP fairly recently in the UK.

I do therefore wonder if disqualification is a relic of Irish domestic law.

Tbf someone could have a history of mental health problems and still be of sound mind.

I thought Madigan said they had schizophrenia but it wasn't diagnosed?
