I didn't think it was possible for political discourse to get more divisive and extreme in a civilized society, but Frances Carmel Hoole, who apparently standing for election, tweeted a meme of herself threatening Joanna Cherry with a spray bottle of bleach and the term T*RF.

She has deleted it and is now complaining about the sound condemnation she is receiving on Twitter. I need to get a hammock for my face to help with the continual dropping of my jaw.

Really good point about Labour being quick to give an adult human female the boot.

They don't act so quickly (or at all) against the men (and I mean men! the beardy wokebros) in Labour who have been abusing women for months and years, keeping lists of "terfs" etc. No action taken against them.

And they are a 'care and support worker' - really? Sounds like they aren't very mature.

GeordieTerf · 07/11/2019 13:19

Great news, and a really good article too. Smile

Siameasy · 07/11/2019 13:13

Good news altho yes I did think well females are more expendable

This soundbite - because that’s all it is “you’re not defending women’s rights unless...” I agree needs to be robustly challenged every time it’s trotted out. Ask the sayer to explain what it means

Ereshkigal · 07/11/2019 13:01

Or is it just those who a... I can't say it can I?

Probably not, but I think we all know what you mean.

Ereshkigal · 07/11/2019 13:00

We really need to knock this narrative on the head - Emma Watson said it too in the PL interview.

It's nonsense. "You're not saving the Tigers unless you also save whales".

theflushedzebra · 07/11/2019 12:57

That's good - I mean it was stupid and immature to post it, and that person clearly lacks the judgement to be an SMP.

I'm hoping Joanna keeps her seat - she is an absolute ambassador for women.

This though from Hoole: She said: “You’re not defending women’s rights unless you defend trans rights.

We really need to knock this narrative on the head - Emma Watson said it too in the PL interview.

It's ridiculous - because the reality is if you support the trans rights that are being demanded now (self ID, transwomen being treated exactly as biological women in the law) - you are elevating the rights of transwomen above the needs of women and girls.

Support trans rights all you want, but you can't call it feminism.

So when can we expect to see the others get their marching orders? The ones that Jeremy is usually photographed cosying up to?

Or is it just those who a... I can't say it can I?

AnyOldPrion · 07/11/2019 12:51

Course it’s a woman that they finally removed.

ChipOnMyOvary · 07/11/2019 12:51

Fantastic!

RoyalCorgi · 07/11/2019 12:49

That is excellent news. I don't see that they had a choice, really. Corbyn is supposed to be all about a "kinder, gentler" politics, and the Labour Party's own social media guidelines make it very clear that personal abuse is not allowed.

Ereshkigal · 07/11/2019 12:41

Wow! I can't believe that. That's the first time Labour have taken any of these complaints seriously.

MockersthefeMANist · 05/11/2019 10:03

Out of interest Mockers which way is your seat likely to go?

Tory maj 5000 over Lab in 2017. Good sensible Tory MP who voted Remain and has campaigned consistently for a deal since. He's safe.

She's actullay about 35, just acts like a teenager:

The meme-maker has written a very long and inspiring blog post:

'I generally spend more time tackling the instances of transphobia that gay men are guilty of rather than tackling trans exclusionary radical feminism'

By this, I presume he means deleting his old abusive twitter posts.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 05/11/2019 09:12

Corbyn does I’ve his student politics. He loves it so much he’s never evolved into politics of the real world.

noodlenosefraggle · 05/11/2019 09:10

So many Labour candidates are 25 or younger and seem to be completely unsuitable, having concentrating from the Student Union to being parachuted into Labour seats. What happened to candidates who have experience? Quite a lot of them have been pulled up for racist, anti Americans racist social media postings but b they have lived in an echo chamber ever since, so have they really grown up?

Italiangreyhound · 05/11/2019 00:56

I'm really not sure if I can ever vote for labour again! Sad

CarolCutrere · 04/11/2019 21:00

a safe Labour seat, or given a chance to waste their time in a safe Tory seat, or is the Labour Party committing electoral suicide by putting said kid up in a key marginal?

It used to be a safe Labour seat. It was Alastair Darling's seat with Conservatives being in second place. The demographic of the constituency make a significant part of it New Labour/Blairite territory. SNP took it in 2015 pushing Conservatives into 3rd place. In 2017 Conservatives were second again with just a 1000 votes in it and Labour third. It will be an SNP/Tory fight. I hope Cherry loses.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 04/11/2019 20:44

Has the silly wee girl been reprimanded?

However I have seen other ‘young labour’ types tweet awful stuff but not been reprimanded if you know what/why I mean 😉.

Tanith · 03/11/2019 21:25

So, he's not even a woke bro, just a nasty troll. Probably been stirring this stuff for years.
I wonder how many more trolls like him are fanning the flames.

Doesn't excuse the silly child from retweeting him, mind.

I think the reason we're seeing such poor candidates in elections is that so many people simply don't want to do it.
If we want to change it, we need to volunteer ourselves. However, it's a brave woman who puts herself in the firing line these days.

RuffleCrow · 03/11/2019 19:49

Not to mention that she's either completely unaware of the law or she thinks she's above it.

RuffleCrow · 03/11/2019 19:47

She has displayed a total lack of decency and critical thinking therefore is totally unfit for office

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 03/11/2019 19:09

Can you even campaign if you've locked your SM?!! How are you going to retweet Magic Grandad?

BarbaraStrozzi · 03/11/2019 16:59

Out of interest Mockers which way is your seat likely to go? Has the skater dude (ette) been gifted a safe Labour seat, or given a chance to waste their time in a safe Tory seat, or is the Labour Party committing electoral suicide by putting said kid up in a key marginal?
