Wish I knew which rights I was 'hoarding'.

This is incredibly disappointing - and offensive - from Lammy. They're falling like dominoes today. Is there really not a single one of them who will stand with Rosie?

I had forgotten all about that song!Grin

The video is so cheesy, but it has a more coherent message than the current LP does.

On the plus side, it does open up some wonderful new possibilities wrt costumes for demos.

Handmaidens, witches, suffragettes - and now dinosaurs! Actually quite exciting.

Wondering what birdie rose might do with this 🦖

There are some epic dinosaur names, if anyone's considering a name change. Adamantisaurus Bravoceratops Vagaceratops...
Brava, Inebriatasaurus, sp Amazon.

Are all the top people at Labour being blackmailed to come out with this shit do we think? These are intelligent people we are talking about, they can't seriously really believe all the nonsense they are coming out with can they? Blackmail or brainwashing, something is up.

@Artichokeleaves

It has been checked that no one's spiked the water supply at Labour HQ or something? They all seem to have gone completely batshit, en masse.
To be fair, I understand why the Shadow Minister for Wages has resigned.

God this shitshow makes me want to re watch the thick of it. “Fuck up from bean to cup”

RedToothBrush · 27/09/2021 19:13

Sexist and ageist.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

Lammy is one of the original architects of this current mess. He didn't consider the impact of women 16 years ago and clearly he has no interest in doing so now. Despite everything he claimed wouldn't happen coming to pass and then some. He was wrong about everything back then and is now doubling down.

This.

@PronounssheRa

We need a thread dedicated to labour's batshittery which just lists the bollocks coming out of conference week
My “favourite” was Rachel Reeves spluttering mess on Nick Ferrari this week. If you can’t articulate your policy position, maybe the policy really is too ridiculous for words?!

I shall hoard my rights IN my cervix.

Stick that in your manly pipes and smoke it Labour.

And yet Labour just want to steamroller over all protections in order to give special privileges to their chosen group of males

Or do you mean ‘mates’?

NecessaryScene · 27/09/2021 18:40

Trans people are obviously a smaller group than women, but 'less powerful'?

Not convinced they're a smaller group than "feminists" though.

OldCrone · 27/09/2021 18:36

When the wishes of one group conflict with the wishes of another they tend to stand up for the smaller less powerful group.

Of course they’re going to stand up for trans people against feminists in the 2020’s.

Trans people are obviously a smaller group than women, but 'less powerful'?

The trans rights movement is dominated by some privileged, middle aged, middle class males. They have cynically recruited large numbers of young people, including some very young children, to make this look more like a movement for less privileged people, but those young people are not the drivers of this movement, and many of them are its victims.

The privileged people I'm referring to are people like Pips Bunce, Alex Drummond, Eddie Izzard, Jane Fae... Nobody could argue that people like that are vulnerable people who need more protection than vulnerable women and children.

This movement has a disproportionate impact on women and children, particularly disadvantaged women like those who are victims of rape or domestic violence and those who are in prison. These are the less powerful groups who should be protected. And yet Labour just want to steamroller over all protections in order to give special privileges to their chosen group of males.

@ArabellaScott

ROAR! today I am identifying as RightsAreAPieTops.

Is there a recording or transcript of this speech?

Is it Moley who does those deeply entertaining images on Twitter and for Glinner?

We need Moley or someone with comparable skills to mock up rights-hoarding dinosaurs.

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 27/09/2021 18:35

My goodness, what's that banging noise?!

Oh that's right, it's just David Lammy, hammering another nail in the coffin for Labour 🙄

Thanks Embarassing - I've signed up. Love a bit of material dialectic me! I voted for the reds at the last election in Wales - the only party that were willing to support sex-based rights. Unfortunately they didn't get in!

NecessaryScene · 27/09/2021 18:25

@EdgeOfACoin

I wonder whether he was supportive of Rachel Dolezal.
Do you recall that this came up during Forstater vs CGD (round 1)?

When asked, the HR person from CGD said that yes, as far as their organisation was concerned, she would be black. Self-ID was universally applied.

On the plus side, it does open up some wonderful new possibilities wrt costumes for demos.

Handmaidens, witches, suffragettes - and now dinosaurs! Actually quite exciting.

....and a dance!
HermioneKipper · 27/09/2021 18:24

Hoarding rights???!! WTF. What rights? The right to enter female only spaces and have dignity, privacy and safety from men?

Fuck off Lammy.

I hate the conservatives but they look like the sensible choice compared to this fucking labour shower 😡

NecessaryScene · 27/09/2021 18:22

Is he saying that Keir Starmer ain't black? Hmm

@Jaysmith71

Yes, you have a vote, but the capitalist hegemony deprives you of a real choice.

Thus Spake Old Pa Miliband in "The State In A Capitalist Society."

I am attending the Communist Party's "Women’s equality emergency: The Law; Policy Inclusion or Women’s Exclusion Webinar" this evening - perhaps I shall hear more.
