Grin Absolutely Wine

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/02/2020 15:16

See? All that's missing is the beard!

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/02/2020 15:15

Anything to oblige, Red Grin

AbsintheFriends · 12/02/2020 15:09

Gosh, I'm watching now. Beardy Man is tying himself in knots isn't he? It's almost like there's a giant hole of logic that he's trying not to fall down.

(You can't identify as one gender one day, and another the next... Is that not terribly transphobic and erasing genderfluid enbies?)

Hello FreakOut. Grab a chair and help yourself to a cuppa.

ILikeSneezing · 12/02/2020 15:08

Well done, Selina.
Beardy is a parody of himself.

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/02/2020 15:05

Bore you are spot on there
I don't suppose you could recommend a nice clip of Harrop ?

FreakOutFarOut · 12/02/2020 15:03

Finally created an account and de-lurking because I'm honestly just in a constant rage these days at this insidious and harmful campaign against women and sense. Very inspired by all of you articulate and passionate women. Hi!

Selina was so clear as well as calm in the face of his sputtering misogyny. I really do think these issues are starting to see the light and idiots like him are only doing us favours.

ArranUpsideDown · 12/02/2020 14:49

people might think you identify as a Hobnob

It always comes back to Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit on MN whether it's here or on webchats. (Better that than Weetabix and banana tho'.)

I hope the presence of Selina Todd does signal a willingness to book more women to discuss the issues around dissent and free speech in the public arena.

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/02/2020 14:44

Beardy twat is just a more hirsute, thinner version of Harrop, isn't he?

Michelleoftheresistance · 12/02/2020 14:32

Though there is always the danger that people might think you identify as a Hobnob.

That actually seems like a really nice idea..... Grin

TheRealMcKenna · 12/02/2020 14:30

I wish people would stop using intersex as an ‘explanation’ for why people are ‘biologically’ the other sex if they are trans.

It’s like explaining away and not dealing with rising rates of morbid obesity on the existence of Prada-Willi syndrome.

GCAcademic · 12/02/2020 14:29

#DunkMe does have a nice ring to it, perhaps we should move on to that when Twitter removes the latest hashtag. Though there is always the danger that people might think you identify as a Hobnob.

ArranUpsideDown · 12/02/2020 14:25

he was probably dunking you in the river to see if you are witch.

Is this the new #ExpelMe ?

Except that we should definitely have the safety boats and divers nearby because we will sink.

Nappyvalley15 · 12/02/2020 14:20

Well done Selina. You aced it!
Beardy bloke was ear deep in nonsense. Needs to be kept away from power for a long time.

EwwSprouts · 12/02/2020 14:05

Grab the popcorn, Beardy not happy with @janeclarejones.

RheaRanged · 12/02/2020 13:47

Oh I miss all the fun - i so enjoy watching a beardie, woke bro get all testerical.

Doyoumind · 12/02/2020 13:46

The DM covered the story earlier, and I was surprised to see a fairly balanced piece in the Guardian on it just now.

Beardy still getting a beating on Twitter.

MsSafina · 12/02/2020 13:45

The far left just made Labour even more unelectable.

Michelleoftheresistance · 12/02/2020 13:36

Selina watching him burble and shaking her head with a faint smile....

I particularly liked the bit about no platforming is obviously bad - but no, women shouldn't be allowed to meet together and talk about women's rights and issues. Because that's hate.

Well it's a beautiful example of exactly the lunacy the Labour party are standing squarely behind. 'We say no to reality. We say no to women's rights or women talking about their rights or women really, and we definitely say no to science and biology'. Righto then...….

RoyalCorgi · 12/02/2020 13:35

They really are showing their true colours now, aren't they? The hatred and anger that spews out of men like the Beardy WokeBro and his supporters on Twitter shows that they're not even bothering to disguise their misogyny any more. They don't think Selina Todd and other women like her should be allowed to speak. They want us silenced.

Misogyny, in all its raw, vile ugliness.

TheShoesa · 12/02/2020 13:26

Blimey, that victory speech is rather aggressive. 'We will fight them in the streets?!'

I do rather like the Tory candidate's response that the speech was 'toxic' and that it was not aligned with the "kinder, gentler politics" promise by Jeremy Corbyn

JessicaLangoustine · 12/02/2020 13:24

It's funny how these misogynists always say women are the emotional sex; yet, what is all this rabid hatred if not strong emotion?

nonsenceagain · 12/02/2020 13:22

Brava Selina. You are a ⭐️

dayoftheclownfish · 12/02/2020 13:20

LRM (Beardy) does seem to have issues with emotional self-regulation. Just watch the tail end of his victory speech after the GE in December.
