I mean, in an awful way it's funny, but we have no legitimate opposition, an incompetent leadership, and some of the most colossal social, economic, and geo-political challenges imaginable bearing down fast. And one of the three main parties is debating pronouns. On badges. On a conference via Zoom.

They just keep hitting themselves on the head with that hammer don’t they?

Why are you hitting yourself?

I've voted LD a lot over the years. Even I think this is a load of complete nonsense. They need to start focusing on the very many massively important issues of the day and not get sidetracked by devisive issues that benefit a tiny number of people and potentially piss off or put off lots of others. Very depressing.

The Lib Dems - the irrelevant gift that keeps on giving. I'm sure they will keep us well entertained in the coming weeks. Grin

Liberal Democrats are to vote on including preferred pronouns on attendees' badges at their party's conference – despite the fact that the entire event is being staged online because of the coronavirus pandemic."

It was mocked by Lib Dem sources as demonstrating how out of touch the party risked becoming, with one saying: "It's an absolute joke [that] we are, at our conference, deciding what pronouns to call each other.

"As the economy struggles and millions of people are worrying if they will have a job and pay the bills, we are talking about what to put on a lanyard.

"The party is in a dreadful state and this is the best example of it. It's dire, utterly dire. Of course this stuff matters to some people, so just do it, rather than debating it. It's a sign of a party that's run out of ideas."
