To stop facilitating transphobia apparently.
According to the Labour Students women's officer .

I’m just humming the Dads Army these here.

That Facebook clip says page not found...

HermioneWeasley · 24/05/2019 20:05

What influence do they think they have? Delusional in so many ways.....

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 24/05/2019 20:01

like a bunch of giant toddlers

Considering the amount of cross over with Adult Baby fetishes that may have been what they were going for.

I'm shaking in my camper boots.

Are they going have a lay down in their safe spaces when actual grown ups tell them to get lost I wonder?

Like the video of the 'protest' in some university where they all lay on the floor and drummed their heels while filming themselves on their mobile phones like a bunch of giant toddlers?

I had not seen this clip of Lily before

Explaining the motivation for her first taking on a women’s role, and why she is well qualified. Less than three minutes so a treat before supper.

So we're to look forward to an influx of students? That'll be interesting. Though perhaps not that many students, given the number of likes and retweets...

Just noticed that LM is @reallilymadigan. Like Donald Trump. Delusions of grandeur it seems.

@Doyoumind you're right. On is labour students women's officer and Goldsmiths women's officer. They recently attended nus women's conference and reported back on Twitter that the NUS women's campaign would be lobbying Mumsnet moving forwards.

The level of delusion shown by KatVon's screenshot is staggering. I guess it comes from living in an echo chamber where nobody tells you to get a grip.

KarenTheCashRegister · 24/05/2019 17:51

You’re being very unfair Nauticant - they once wrote “stop” on their hand. 😂

nauticant · 24/05/2019 17:47

Maybe this person will actually do this. Or maybe they're just making a statement to provoke a reaction and will then do nothing. Have a look at their track record and decide which of these is most likely.

BackOnceAgainWithABurnerEmail · 24/05/2019 17:46

Lol that tweet has a whole 37 likes. What a numpty.

Melroses · 24/05/2019 17:41

Yes, I’d like to discuss Jess Bradley with the NUS. should be very informative.

Yes, what happened there Hmm

Melroses · 24/05/2019 17:39

When I was at university we campaigned against student loans* and low quality housing.

  • We won that round - until Tony Blair, then Nick Clegg+Cameron Angry
JackyHolyoake · 24/05/2019 17:34

It's a generational outlook I don't share, but definitely cause celebre at the moment with the young folk.

Yes, it seems the youngsters are not too keen on studying any of this history.

JackyHolyoake · 24/05/2019 17:33

And a sincere apology is offered to Rachael Moran for mistakenly typing your name as Rachel.

Doyoumind · 24/05/2019 17:29

NUS and Labour Students Women aren't the same thing though. LSW is LM. Can't see any reference to this campaign.

I did see LM has changed the handle to 'Girls Gang'. What sort of person would think that was a good idea for a women's political group? Rhetorical question.

KarenTheCashRegister · 24/05/2019 17:26

TheInebriati · 24/05/2019 17:24

If you want to talk about hate speech, some of us have long memories and print screen.

ChattyLion · 24/05/2019 17:20

Well it did almost look as if the NUS have been hiding away for these past months because they didn’t want to answer any questions about Jess Bradley the trans officer and some questions around serious sexually-related creepiness.

So that’s good if they now are back around to be answering questions. (These are all set out on Mumsnet threads, if anyone wants to know more.)

notatwork · 24/05/2019 17:19

@JackyHolyoake Probably yes. It's a generational outlook I don't share, but definitely cause celebre at the moment with the young folk.

The fact that Rachel is right at the forefront of repro rights/maternity issues/abortion on demand is heartwarming. A womens issue impacting women.

KatvonHostileExtremist · 24/05/2019 17:16

Interesting thoughts stillathing

KatvonHostileExtremist · 24/05/2019 17:15

I can't wait for the whole shambles to go bankrupt Lilly..... such a failure as a union
