Innocent drinks

There are people in the world who are just batshit and who, for whatever reason, deny reality. Some deny things like climate change. Some deny the value of vaccinations and therapeutic medicines. Some deny things like biological sex.

In fairness, some do visit mumsnet and voice their particular delusion.

I have seen Mimmymum in real life. She looks like any other middle aged middle class mum. Evil is so banal.

I always imagine their board of directors monitoring twitter obsessively and reporting back 'Phew, we've survived another week of nobody pointing out we share the same name as Neo nazis'.

I was radicalised by mumsnet. Brought a few more on the good ship feminism in real life because of it, too and my trigger was ocado, back in 2018. I was their most loyal customer, even on their tasting/testing panel. Sainsbury's have done well out of me since then

Thanks for the link Arabella.

Great photo of Miranda.

Can MN report this to the Police?
Maybe she needs to check her thinking? (Head tilt)

Is that (another ) shark jumped there?

The problem with dramatic hyperbole, as even my teen is starting to figure out, is that past a certain point it just makes people laugh.

In real life, of course, Helen is the woman who took transwoman Miranda Yardley to court, and lost. (The judge threw out the case and awarded costs to the defendant.)

Calling a site like Mumsnet, that does so much to help women escape domestic violence, that holds politicians to account, that runs campaigns that have helped to protect women from being murdered, that supports, informs and consoles women in all life stages, through so many difficult issues - miscarriage, menopause, infertility, bereavement, parenting, relationship issues, mental health issues, 'stormfront' is callous, tone-deaf and cruel in the extreme.

It is sort of laughable, I get that - it's also unacceptable.

It's also a meteorological term meaning there is a storm coming.

Yes there is a storm coming, a massive storm and I suspect that Mumsnet is part of the vanguard.

I've been aware of Helen Islan for years but have never actually seen her. I always picture her as a stout little body in a twinset and pearls with one of those helmets of concrete-set hair and a handbag over her arm. Sort of like a short, solid, pastel version of Margaret Thatcher.

It's her prim little twitter name that does it, I guess, and the pink rose avatar. Oh, and the sugar-coated venom in her tweets. She has a fondness for exclamation marks, which I always read as the classic 'tinkly laugh'.

Disclaimer: just what I imagine, of course. Not saying this is what she's really like.

Very confusing - there is a chain of shops that sell apple products called stormfront. We have one where I live on the High Street - they didn't give much thought to their name, did they?

It is reprehensible, Arabella. I'm choosing to laugh at it because it's pathetic and they have nothing else.

That's better..

Yikes!

(I'm going to change my name now, mainly because I don't want to be associated with with Susie Green.)

Found this interesting blog about mimmymum. It references flora and the part mimmymum initially played in trying to boycott them herself.

I googled Stormfront, this is off of wiki:

'Stormfront is a white nationalist, white supremacist, antisemitic, Holocaust denial, and Neo-Nazi Internet forum, and the Web's first major racial hate site. In addition to its promotion of Holocaust denial, Stormfront has increasingly become active in the propagation of Islamophobia'

Equating Mumsnet with white supremacy and Holocaust denial. That is a reprehensible & libellous accusation.

I like a nice glass of red wine myself.

It does make me laugh when TRA's tell everyone they shouldn't make assumptions then proceed to make assumptions about everyone else.

One rule for one and all that

I hate bloody prosecco, headache in a bottle.

Very accurate description.

Shows what they know. I hate bloody prosecco, headache in a bottle.

Gin is the official drink of Mumsnet, always has been.

Prosecco Stormfront

Hahahahhahahahaha

Is our erstwhile friend assuming that all the warrior women of FWR are white? If so that's rather racist don't you think?

Just googled Stormfront how is calling a group of women Prosecco Stormfront not regarded as hate speech?

What stupid thing to call anyone.

And personally, I feel it could be argued that worrying that your child prefers toys associated with the opposite sex is a very middle class problem. Most of the rest of us spend our time worrying about other problems.
