I liked James Felton. He’s jumped on the bandwagon and is now targeting Mumsnet. Gonna have to mute him until he sees the light. Dammit.

I've just had a look at Felton's twitter feed. It seems to be him trying to whip up twitter mobs over this and that. Is that what comedy writing is these days?

I saw this on twitter. Amazing. Mumsnet has how many million users? Not all of them are the feminism boards. It's like complaining that Facebook is transphobic because there are pages you don't like.
To object to possibly thousands of women, mostly mothers, accessing union advice because you don't like the platform its being disseminated on is one of the most arrogantly sexist takes I've seen on twitter in a while. And there's a lot to choose from.
It can't be any clearer just how little he thinks of women.

I seem to remember him posting something during the Alice Roberts drama. Hope his wife ends up loving MN.

Why is he doing this. What happened to #bekind

That is quite an amazing attempt to organise a pile on. He went to a lot of trouble there. Gmb 's stance on trans does not seem to buy any goodwill, not surprisingly.

I have to say, I'm watching with interest to see if the GMB cave or not.

Golden handcuffs working for a union

That’s disappointing but unsurprising, being a comedian and all. Anyone know of any comedians who aren’t under the influence GenderWooWoo?

PositiveVibez · 23/05/2020 00:38

And covering whoever else knows. Morning show. Times that X 10 and that's the fucking GMB 🤢

Shame. He's very funny. But time to unfollow.

Someone has commented that presumably he has only assigned his son a sex at birth until his child can make up his own mind!

He’s a comedy writer. Very funny usually and critical of the government (usually) where it’s due. I liked him very much until now. Very disappointing.

Well he obviously doesn't like to think that women might get union advice during lockdown.

GoFiguire · 23/05/2020 00:19

He is Draco Malfoy. Or someone from Busted. I get confused.

OvaHere · 23/05/2020 00:18

I have no idea who he is.

Although I'm sure I saw a tweet going around from him earlier about having a newborn baby in lockdown so presumably he did understand the concept of biology and women at one point.

Melroses · 23/05/2020 00:15

Who is he?
