@AutumnRose1 that was my favourite response too. The only thing that made me laugh on twitter yesterday.

Sadiq Khan is a total wanker, I can't tell you how many times I have 'defended' him to other people but now he can get to fuck. I will be sharing with my fellow Londoners to let them know who they might be voting for.

I guarantee not one of these politicians actually believe that for one minute, it's all about sucking up to whoever they think might get them a vote.

I signed up to Come Kip With Me for exactly this reason. I’m sure Rory with mouth the normal groupthink stuff but if I think he’s at all thoughtful about this then he has my vote.

Al1Langdownthecleghole · 16/02/2020 23:39

I can't say I'm surprised, sadly.

Some cracking twitter responses though.

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 16/02/2020 23:21

That’s interesting. Especially as Ken Livingstone initially won as an independent. It’s something that can actually happen under the mayoral voting system (unlike GEs).

He is strongly in the lead but Rory is second according to betting odds.

I don't think he got the response he was expecting on that post.
What an idiot. He's saying words without giving them a moment's thought. Non-binary people are non-binary - what does that even mean?

littlbrowndog · 16/02/2020 23:03

Yeah rowan that would be great if women in London could ask him for a sleepover then grill him / ask him

ScrimshawTheSecond · 16/02/2020 23:03

The two replies at the top of the thread (does that mean they've been the most responded to?) are Fionne Orlander and Debbie Hayton.

You can keep saying the mantra over and over - maybe slightly desperately. It isn't working anymore.

Fascinating how on so-called LGBT History Month you manage to avoid saying Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual. You just disappeared up your own purity spiral.

That to the mayor on twitter

Does anyone know Rory's stance on this?

He has a new project, #comekipwithme asking people in London to host him overnight so he can listen to their views about what's important.
He brings chocolates & a sleeping bag.

It would be a great if he heard concerns about Women's (sex-based) Rights & Safeguarding.

From twitter

No. They. Are. Not.

Being a woman is not a state of mind or a feeling on a rainy Wednesday morning.

I am a woman. You are a man. You are not a woman just because you say or think you are.

The end.

That was Julia jeez I forgo5 her other names but anyway.

Well considering he's a politician you can assume the default is TWAW.

languishing me too! How disappointing. I expected better from him. Thought he had a brain.

Languishingfemale · 16/02/2020 22:02

AutumnRose1
I've read articles where he's been boasting about installing "inclusive" mixed sex loos. Tbh, (and possibly unfairly) I now question the personal motives of any man in power who removes women's toilets in favour of mixed sex. Hmm

AutumnRose1 · 16/02/2020 20:41

I was about to write to his office for advice/help on the loo thing!

Languishingfemale · 16/02/2020 20:36

If I recall correctly he's another man over excited at the prospect of mixed sex toilets .

ListeningQuietly · 16/02/2020 20:36

Sadiq needs to be reminded who the electorate actually are

most of them are not TW or their enablers

Qcng · 16/02/2020 20:34

Is he going to send another tweet mentioning gays and lesbians?

AutumnRose1 · 16/02/2020 20:31

I don’t think I’ll be able to vote in this election

The Tory candidate wants to build on all the spaces that even labour have rejected.

Now this.

PreseaCombatir · 16/02/2020 19:58

Ignore me, I was on the sadiq khan one. I can see it now

PreseaCombatir · 16/02/2020 19:57

Is it still there? I can’t see it on his page

Lordfrontpaw · 16/02/2020 19:45

So we now have (at the very least) two months in the year devoted to (lgb)T.

And on international woman’s day the activists and men spit out their dummies for one bloody day just for women.
