Powerful, powerful stuff.

More power to you Ceri.

Wow, what an inspirational woman. You have my undying admiration and gratitude Ceri.

@aliasundercover

Why are we not allowed to name him? Everyone knows who we're talking about, and everyone knows he’s a spineless hypocrite.
Because a couple of days ago, on Twitter, Ceri withdrew a tweet that named the complainant (on advice of her solicitor) and asked people not to use the name of the complainant.

There is a screenshot of Ceri's tweet requesting this but I don't recall if it's upthread here or on a now deleted thread.

I think Ceri has asked us not to, on advice from her lawyer.

@1Week

But I thought aligning with Conservatives was very very bad
It is.

I'm trying to get enough senior Conservatives to align with me.

Reading that just reignited my fighting flame!

Ceri's speech was so powerful. I'm happy to donate to a crowdfunder when it's launched and to support in any way I can.

BoreOfWhabylon · 25/10/2021 16:47

Hang on, getting confused here. Who was PMs brother engaged to? Bus Stop Man?

SpindelWhorl · 25/10/2021 14:17

I know it wouldn't wash with a lot of the Conservative PCCs, fortunately @FindTheTruth, but the interesting thing for me is that A Certain Person has been getting these kinds of high level introductions from A Certain MP under the guise of socialising / Tory social events / networking or whatever.

It's a tangled web that potentially allows for name-dropping and the 'don't you know who I am?' gambit when complaints are put in to the police.

FindTheTruth · 25/10/2021 14:01

I know of at least one Police and Crime Commissioner who has been introduced to A Certain Someone by A Certain Conservative MP

"PCC how do we shut women up? Don't you know it's a hate crime when women disagree with me? . here's a list of women I want arresting and if you don't I'll have to leave home and won't feel safe the rest of my life"

If Penny Mordaunt MP, former Secretary of State for Defence, has had her name bandied about by A Certain Someone, and/or is a personal friend or acquaintance; and given that Penny Mordaunt MP is a known supporter of gender identity ideology to the point of spouting it as government policy from the front bench - indeed, from the despatch box, as Paymaster General - when it actually isn't government policy at all; then is there a public interest in being able to discuss this openly?

I am always so careful with what I say on here, as MNHQ don't need the grief. However it's a big story in the making. I know of at least one Police and Crime Commissioner who has been introduced to A Certain Someone by A Certain Conservative MP, and I'm thinking that all this should be fully disclosed by those involved now if name-dropping is happening to impress police officers.

@SpindelWhorl

That bloke's allegedly also got a friend who's an MP and former Cabinet Member.
Penny Mordaunt's brother was engaged to him. Penny said “Let me say […] from this despatch box that trans men are men, and trans women are women.”

I think his email would be [email protected]?? Is that the normal format? I know he'll have a PA but he would likely have his attention drawn to a large number of emails on the same subject.

FindTheTruth · 25/10/2021 09:40

OOOH now this is a new initiative. A supporter of Ceri has sent this to PSNI Chief Constable Byrne. Ceri suggests others do the same

He quite obviously has very particular friends in very particular places, if 2 women are facing the same police interview/investigation techniques because of the complaints of the same man about their tweets/words.
HoardingSamphireSaurus · 24/10/2021 22:42

He's also got his very own Twitter Troll - man at a bus stop. He's sent out a call to arms Smile

@FindTheTruth

There's an update on Glinner
"Did an anti-paedophile thread bring the police to Ceri Black's door?" Northern Ireland police are trying to shut down an abuse survivor who is also an expert on child safeguarding

The NI police has always been rotten. It's very foundation is one of supremacy and collusion in oppression. The image change from the old, sectarian, misogynistic RUC was just that....an image change. The core remains the same.

teawamutu · 23/10/2021 13:26

a cowardly, polite kind of evil

Wow. Such powerful words.

Please bring on the gardening! I'm desperate to dig for Ceri.

TurquoiseBaubles · 23/10/2021 12:05

A lot of that thread from Ceri reminds me of the stuff that Lisa Muggeridge used to say, and for which she was bullied and abused, was banned from Twitter, and felt (for her safety and that of her children) that she had to withdraw from the conversation for a while.

Her YouTube Channel should have been required viewing for every single person involved in child safeguarding. Sadly it appears to have been deleted www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4109571-Lisa-Muggeridge-is-back-on-YouTube

Like Ceri, she understands the "getting the child ready for the next guy". The softening of boundaries and the looking the other way is the basis of abuse.
