Oooh

I hope they call someone from Twitter and ask them to explain Helen being banned. As you say, totally outrageous.

Thanks Molly and Xanthangum. Not listened to today's mess we are in yet.
Helen's ace, I have faith in her.

Helen's exclusion was totally outrageous.

Mollyollydolly · 03/03/2021 21:11

Glinner said it would be on the Parliament Channel.

Xanthangum · 03/03/2021 20:37

Bbc Parliament I think?

Just imaging what your average non-social media obsessed individual might make of an exchange between an MP & Helen along the lines of:

Q: What did you do to merit a Twitter ban Helen?

A: Just asked men on the internet if they believe that male sexed people should have the right to shower and undress in communal changing rooms with teenage girls.

Blimey Riley.
Is this something that we can watch, it says public?
Bet they didn't see this coming when they decided to get stuck in. Good on them both.

It does feel a bit like a worm is tipping over a turning point.

@Impatiens

Excellent news. Do you know how people are selected to give evidence?
Members of the Select Committee usually select people to give evidence, so I'm assuming someone on the Communications & Digital Committee.

Excellent. This is so important.

Mollyollydolly · 03/03/2021 19:40

Looking forward to it. Helen's ban was outrageous, be interesting to see anyone try and justify that.

Oh, that is good news. I hope they prepare thoroughly.
