Mhairi Black

Have you seen the number of likes? Nearly 6k. It makes me feel like we're fighting a losing battle

mhairi Black Stiod up and complained in the House of Commons about the horrific misogynistic abuse she has received - being called a cunt being one of them. I actually agreed with her at the time that female MPs get a tough time via social media.

Now Mhairi is calling women who don’t agree with her cunts 🤷‍♀️

However, it's important to state that there are no attendance records kept by the HoC, only the HoL, and that Mhairi Black isn't even in the top 10 highest expenses claims. actually there is www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/25269/mhairi_black/paisley_and_renfrewshire_south#numerology

I don’t think she will be embarrassed at all. She sat down and planned it then seen the edit and approved it

I am surprised that she didn5 see how sneering and showing the contempt that she felt for women she doesn’t agree with when she reviewed it
It really showed to me the sort of person she is.

@2Rebecca

100% there should be minimum qualifications for MPs and one should be a specified length of employment in a real job/business.

Don't care what job (builder/brain surgeon) anything, other than some kind of lacky for a politician/political party

I find her body language to be aggressive and intimidating. She scares me.

Imagine the universal condemnation that would have happened if a male Tory MP had produced such an anti-woman video (complete with calling women cnts).*

Exactly

I'm still struggling to get over that T-shirt. Who on earth made it??

Doesn't she realise how tone deaf it is, and at the same time creepy as fuck.

Who wears a T-shirt advocating that others come and urinate next to them?

Even if it's trying to be inclusive, it's unnecessarily graphic and horribly naive.

No-one wants to pee next to anyone, surely?

How cringeworthily embarrassing for her.

She doesn't seem to understand the horrific murder rates of trans sex workers in South America isn't a particularly credible argument to make when discussing changes to UK law. Either that or she's happy to exploit their deaths in order to justify dismissing women's concerns about self ID.

This.

I think young MPs are a mistake, Ross Greer as MSP is another bad decision. MPs should have to live in the real world as adults for a few years and have a non political job before being MPS, none of this study PPE or law and then become a political intern stuff. There should be a minimum and maximum age. 30-70 say.

Imagine the universal condemnation that would have happened if a male Tory MP had produced such an anti-woman video (complete with calling women c*nts).

Does Black somehow think she is immune from critisism?

Ok wow, she’s both lazy and misogynist then. Go and do what you’re paid to do Mhairi!

Good god. I didn't watch the video on first reading of this thread but I have just done so now. That is outrageous behaviour of an elected MP, to sneer publicly at concerns raised. I am really shocked!

Thanks Jessica.

I can't get over the hypocrisy of using Jeremy Hunt's name as a rhyming slang insult for women. I mean I'm pretty shocked at her calling other women cunts but that's the icing on the top.

She probably thinks Jeremy Hunt is a Tory cunt and deserves no better but it's part of the absolute beginners lesson for anti- bullying and being respectful. You don't make fun or ridicule people about the way they look or their names or other personal attributes.

I mean how can you be a female MP and not know that there are 14,000 men in prison for sex offences and 120 women???

And because transwomens crimes are reported as being committed by women how can we be sure those 120 women are actually even women?

Fair enough, you see what you want to see and I'll see what I want to see.

Not defending Mhairi Black on women's issues at all, she's disgraced herself.

However, it's important to state that there are no attendance records kept by the HoC, only the HoL, and that Mhairi Black isn't even in the top 10 highest expenses claims.

By all means criticise her politics, but making shit up does nobody any good.

I'll bow out now and await independence with anticipation.

There isn’t any anti Scottish sentiment and Lass wasn’t snotty when she said that, it’s your attitude that’s snotty.

So where is the "anti- Scottish sentiment " on this thread. You threw that in.

I don't see any. I see plenty of criticism of Black and the SNP. Please point out the "anti- Scottish sentiment ". You can't- because there isn't any.

Criticising Mhairi Black, the SNP or independence is not "anti- Scottish sentiment."

I didn't say that it was.

Take your snotty tone with someone else please, your disdain for anyone who disagrees with you or has a different opinion to you is a bit boring now.

When ironically the anti Scottish sentiment is less than concealed in a few posts on this thread

Please point to "anti- Scottish sentiment" on this thread. There isn't.

Criticising Mhairi Black, the SNP or independence is not "anti- Scottish sentiment."

I wouldn't like to be in her shoes if Jeremy Hunt does decide to take a moment from campaigning to deal with this.
It may have been an innocent mistake on the radio all that time ago; it's quite deliberately offensive this time.

She doesn't seem to understand the horrific murder rates of trans sex workers in South America isn't a particularly credible argument to make when discussing changes to UK law. Either that or she's happy to exploit their deaths in order to justify dismissing women's concerns about self ID.

What's the racism thing?

No idea. Unless it's bleating about anti English sentiment. When ironically the anti Scottish sentiment is less than concealed in a few posts on this thread.

That said, I had an enormous amount of respect for Mhairi Black until she drank the kool aid. I'm disgusted by her attitude towards women raising genuine concerns, and have said so, both to her in a letter and to my own local SNP MP. She is so desperate to be PC she's gone down the rabbit hole. And that t-shirt is appalling.

Wasn't it recently that the SNP put self ID on hold because they realised/were shown that it's completely unworkable and goes against safeguarding?

It's not just yours you know.
