Oh the irony! Watch the woke folk implode with self-righteous indignation!

Karma?

I know schadenfreude is very tempting here

but this organisation was built with the money and time of working people, to provide political representation for working people. to offset the privileged few getting exclusive access to political representation by dint of the resources at their disposal

I can't even begin to express how disappointed I am in how decadent they've become. now when we need them more that ever

Sad Sad Sad

Oh and...

... what was that about having Cake and eating it?

I, for one, cannot wait for the Sanctimonious Morph to weigh in.

Agree that Rohit should be nicer and not pressure oppressed straight people into distress, self harm, and even worse.

Also:

ACCEPTANCE WITHOUT EXCEPTION

A rule to live by, Rohit, a rule to live by.

Popchyk I LOVE the responses on that Twitter thread! Although still amazed at how that labour officer was allowed to get away with that comment.

Oooh yes LOJ must still be chocking on his morning mocha and I bet Dr Haddock must be combusting somewhere.

Karma is indeed a bitch. Of the adult female variety.

@ItsAllGoingToBeFine - that tweet😮

The lack of self awareness is astonishing.

Popchyk · 28/06/2019 09:44

The successful candidate did not mention anything about his gay, lesbian, bi or trans identity.

He may well identify as gender-free or some such, which is recognised under the trans umbrella.

And therefore qualifies as a candidate. For who is anyone to question his gender identity? Or lack thereof. I AM WHO I SAY I AM - that's what the risible left were peddling just this week. Certainly hope that they are not questioning this guy's innate identity. Because that is transphobia right there.

Anyway, wonder what was actually behind this coup? It's Labour, so it certainly isn't someone who wants to draw attention to the plight of women in the party. As if.

Sounds like a power grab by a hard left faction.

Not much to add other than hahahahahahahahahahhaha

Floisme · 28/06/2019 09:42

I'm trying really hard to think up a caustic one liner. But I'm too busy laughing. Bad me.

BeansandRice · 28/06/2019 09:41

And Popchyk - top post Grin

BeansandRice · 28/06/2019 09:40

I think it's pretty shit that a straight man (and apparently homophobic) has been elected LGB Officer. But given the total crap over the T of that acronym, one might just go
We told you so.

And note that when it's men's rights, well, people jump to attention ...

You couldn't make this shit up...

Popchyk · 28/06/2019 09:35

Anyway, thank Christ for Labour.

Say what you like about them. Anti-semites? Yes. Misogynists? Yes. Incoherent omnishambles? Hell yes. Always.

But they always somehow manage to provide us with a great laugh in these dark times.

Singasonga · 28/06/2019 09:34

I don't know anything about the successful candidate - does he self-identify as queer? What was his pitch?

Sexnotgender · 28/06/2019 09:34

LM is just a troll.

littlbrowndog · 28/06/2019 09:34

Omg hahaha

The the the what is it. The word am searching for

Is it irony

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 28/06/2019 09:33

This man could come under Q

I mean thats queer or questioning isnt it

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 28/06/2019 09:30

I'll just leave this here...

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 28/06/2019 09:28

Thats a fair point popchyk

People on Mumsnet are always being told to be nice

Maybe someone should nip on that twitter thread and tell them to be nice

littlbrowndog · 28/06/2019 09:26

Popchyck 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

littlbrowndog · 28/06/2019 09:25

Bit like a labour women’s officer never says a word about women
🤣

Popchyk · 28/06/2019 09:24

I really think that Rohit should just be nicer about it. Where is his empathy for straight people? Straight people are humans too.

This anti-straight rhetoric from Rohit is unhelpful and damaging. It leads directly to a hostile environment for straight people who want to take up LGBT roles. Some straight people commit suicide so Rohit really shouldn't be complaining. No wonder straight people are woefully under-represented in LGBT roles.

Rohit needs to look at his gay privilege and understand that the other fella is actually disadvantaged in his LGBT role precisely because he is straight. A bit of empathy wouldn't go amiss.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 28/06/2019 09:24

self identified according under the Stonewall umbrella and that enabled him to get elected

Exactly!!

Just about everyone is under that umbrella

Even ignoring the whole Lily thing...this was going to hapoen when you open the doors to absolutely anyone

No good getting precious about it...those are your rules!

Sadcister · 28/06/2019 09:22

I'm ashamed to admit that the irony of this made me snort into my tea...
