Owen Jones re-tweets Beth - misogynistic TRA

Beth, a known TRA who campaigned for self ID and was investigated by Wings of Scotland for allegedly being a domestic abuser, the same Beth posted a picture posing with knives is who Owen Jones has chosen to re-tweet discussing Humza Yousaf’s LGBT rights policy.
It’s truly disgusting that he is choosing to amplify the voices of men like this.

I remember them describing the football team strips so you could tell who was who. In fact, I always thought the teams had away strips so they'd be different shades for b&w viewers.

Autocorrupt wanted to go with 'straps', glad I caught that.

I'm constantly surprised that stuff I would have sworn I, somehow, saw in colour turned out to have been broadcast in b&w.

well, maybe you put the quality street wrappers overs your eyes to make it colour?

We used to watch the snooker...

"For those of you watching in black in white...." Used to be heard on the commentary for many years!I

And now that's led me to a memory of the snooker being interrupted to go live to the siege at the embassy with the SAS all over the place!

I shouldn't have watched it I was far too young, I remember very little about it. We had a b&w TV. You had to tune it into the channels with a single tuning knob, like trying to crack a safe.

Do you remember the sense of being cheated when the end credits said "colour TV" or whatever, but your telly was B&W?

Does anyone remember Within these Walls with Googie Withers? My dad bought me a single with the theme song on one side and the theme to Black Beauty on the other, a bit random I always thought.

Just imagine either being remade with a tw. Though I never watched PCBH, I assume they didn't have a tw?

I loved that programme and its haunting theme song. I don't think I've seen any repeats, though, and I don't remember much about it, other than that I loved it.

I understand now that people were going on more than Wing's say so and now recognise Beth from some of the previous stories.

Eurgh.

Being the youngest i was usually on arial holding/ fiddling duty! Whilst my sister twiddled the knob to choose between the 3 channels.

I'm feeling nostalgic now.

I've no idea about Beth. But, Wings' level of "investigation" is frequently rumour and plausible deniably innuendos. He's not a reliable source.

E.g. during the independence referendum he cast suspicion about the veracity of a carer with a disabled daughter's experience because she shared the same surname as a Labour politician. His MO is to cast doubts on people, let his mob of followers harass them, then when later actual facts come out for him to deny responsibility by pointing out he didn't actually say they were related or whatever.

Just because like most men he knows what a woman is, doesn't make him a reliable source. He's a shit stirrer who blamed Liverpool fans for Hillsborough.

He may be right about Beth, I really don't know but it hurts a bit to hear women on here post links to his stuff when I know how much damage it can cause.

It was all backed up with evidence and some was confirmed by a third party.

And just googled within these walls...

We didn't have a tele then! Or a indoor toilet!

I watched it on a very fuzzy black and white TV. I had no clue what anyone actually looked like for years. So they could have had one and I truly wouldn't have been able to tell!

I apologise if I've misrepresented OJ as a PCBH fan!

Bea would have flossed her teeth with him, poor love.

I wanted to see your Dot Cotton and raise you a Bea from Prisoner Cell Block H.

Alas GIPHY could only provide me with Bea from the Golden Girls.

You do know that saying allegedly does not protect you from being defamatory. I suggest Mumsnet delete this thread as it's clearly a libelous attack on an individual......

The thread's still here and so I guess Mumsnet are willing to take on board the enormous risk of being sued by 'the individual'.....
