Self-identified, obvs - might be bollocks. But it's interesting:

I'm feeling excluded, how can I get some of the glitter fairy magic? 😀

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 10:06

It’s all glitter fairy magic dont’ch know.

Good morning vipers. MN gets a mention on the twitter thread, apparently the ratio is all your fault. A thread started here an hour an a half ago managed to instigate a "pile on" which started on the twitter thread 14 hours ago. I'm in awe of you magical powers, how do you do it?

It was very kind of mimmymum to provide a link to this thread.
Bit of an own goal there I think, sweetie. Grin

Ok posted the Ash Sarkar pic on another thread, it was from question time yesterday and about immigration I think, but pretty ironic.

I think Helen has been banned, DickKerr.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 09:48

So is Ashhelf agreeing or arguing, or don’t they know?

"Facts don't care about your feelings" Ash Sarkar on his timeline.

That pledge, Nandys prison views and Butlers take on biology, have really opened eyes I think.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 09:41

Are they only calling card carrying members? Shame my folks are long dead - they would have LOVED a call from Benself.

RoyalCorgi · 21/02/2020 09:40

This is incredibly encouraging. It means that when Ben and his colleagues are phoning up Labour Party members, they're getting a earful about the pledge to expel feminists and/or Nandy's promise to put male rapists in women's prison. So instead of being a niche issue, it has, finally, registered with ordinary members - and they don't like it.

I wonder if Ben and co are making a list of "transphobes" so they can expel them? And once they have done, how many members will there be left? I'm guessing it will be a couple of hundred white middle-class wokebros with beards, plus a handful of fawning handmaidens.

Its when replies to a tweet outnumber the likes.

Usually happens when the tweet is bunkum

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/02/2020 09:37

You can yes. You can also post fawning comments. But in general if there's a pronounced ratioit's a good guide to how the tweet went down.

DickKerrLadies · 21/02/2020 09:36

Hi Helen! [waves]

BTW, it's free to participate in the discussion here - you can just sign up. It would be so much easier than just reading reacting to what we actually say whinging on twitter about us.

Pull up a virtual chair!

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 09:35

But you can retweeted with the comment ‘is this man on crack?’.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/02/2020 09:34

Where the number of likes and retweets is in inverse proportion to the number of comments. Showing that more people disapprove than approve of your tweet.

Kantastic · 21/02/2020 09:34

Mimmymum has such a perfect username, like something JK Rowling would have picked out for her.

Loving Ben's Tweet too.

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 09:32

What is ‘ratioing’?

PronounssheRa · 21/02/2020 09:31

Ben has been getting ratiod for 10 hours. This thread appeared 1 hour ago, but according to mimmy it's all our fault.

Hi Helen, by your thinking does that mean Ben is also only phoning FWR contributors. Or could it be that people all over the country see through this nonsense.

How heartening though that so many people are speaking out about it now.

Surely this will come to a head soon?

Lordfrontpaw · 21/02/2020 09:25

Absolutepowercorrupts - I have a question...

Qcng · 21/02/2020 09:24

Does anyone have a link to the Tweet?

Thinkingabout1t · 21/02/2020 09:24

Good news that people are speaking up. Bad that Labour isn’t listening.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 21/02/2020 09:23

An example of Labour's All Women Shortlist.
