Stop Funding Hate and Mimmymum

Stop Funding Hate are going after the Spectator on a few things, including the trans stuff. They seem to have teamed up with Mimmymum:

She and SFH are trying to lump the Spectator’s GC stuff in with genuinely horrible and stupid Muslim bashing from Rod Liddle’s deeply awful article last week.

By the looks of StopFunding’s timeline, some of the advertisers are wavering: Waterstones and Naked Wines seem to be suggesting they’ll pull money from the Spectator.

If anyone on Twitter wants to explain to the advertisers they are targeting that GC journalism is important, reasonable and has nothing at all in common with Islamophobia (or indeed Rod Liddle) I think it would be worth making the point.

Perhaps SFH should look into Mimmymum taking a trans person to court for disagreeing with her on Twitter? She called it 'harassment' of course - but the Judge threw it out and ordered costs to the trans person.

Pretty hateful behaviour by Mimmymum there.

Ironic

bloody obvious more like.

Almost all those Spectator articles are about censorship in the trans debate. Ironic what mimmymum and SFH are up to.

I think their advertisers should have a think about what kind of political regimes media censorship is traditionally associated with.

I can see why it would be convenient for Helen (hi Helen! 👋) if newspapers didn’t report on the medical mistreatment of children that is supported by the lobby group she works for, but hard to put the genie back in the bottle now. I’m sure everyone at the Spectator is quivering with fear 😆😆

Old article but for background.

This attacks the free press but should we be worried? A court case brought by one half of this double act was not been successful in the past. Hopefully this will be seen for what it is.

I’ll do some emails but for fucking fucks sake that this even needs to be articulated Hmm

Dear stupid people. GC feminists, unsurprisingly, aren’t rampant racists and homophobes. This. Is. Classic. Fucking. DARVO.
