I wonder if this person will be subjected to the same treatment as Caroline Farrow?

Let's wait and see!

I know nothing of Balamory. I assumed it was Professor Plum, in the study with his aubergine.

Custard creams. Can't get them here. I'd love one or two, thanks.

I was careful to explicitly single out 'plain malted milk' for criticism. I'm not a dipper, more a take a bite then a gobful of tea to chase, so I can't comment on that. I will concede that, with chocolate, malted milk are adequate but not top ten.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 09/06/2023 10:37

I say, steady on

I’ve held my peace on the biscuit debate up til now but I really can’t allow malted milks to be maligned. They’re a fine dipping biscuit and when topped with milk chocolate are definitely in my top 5

IcakethereforeIam · 09/06/2023 09:46

I can just about manage a custard cream with a cup of tea, but four...dry! Unless he had a brew off screen, in which case he stole Miss Hoolie's mug ☹️

Plain malted milk are the worst biscuit. I wouldn't even inflict them on a trans activist.

Funny, I don't remember anyone on Mumsnet issuing violent threats, or anyone in the GC movement being charged in court with menacing people with a hammer in supermarkets.

A Paddington Hard Stare can probably give the recipient a minor migraine though

I must remember not to click on I’m watching before eating breakfast. Kiwis and plums I could cope with ( far too healthy) but all this biscuit talk is making me starving.

I need to know more about Venetians.

The point is, a particular group of awful people appear to have gained protection from the expected consequences of awfulness by saying some magic words.

You must realise there is something wrong if a violent thug is spared prison because of this magical cloak.

Being 'offended' by something - just because it makes you uncomfortable (such as someone's lifestyle or how they look) isn't important.
Protecting women's female only spaces is important.

Eh?

Police have in the past enthusiastically jumped on people with GC views for apparently offending others. So this only works one way clearly? Outright threats of violence not a problem?

And I'm pretty sure this unpleasant man doesn't give a shit about preserving female spaces.

Stop telling other women what they should and shouldn't be concerned about. This is all part of a bigger fight.

And it's telling bluemoon your post is just to tell us off and not to call out the disgusting content of those tweets

Currants AND icing? I have never heard of such biscuits. Where can I find them.

Brisland · 09/06/2023 09:19

I like the Rich Tea biscuits….
My favourite are Venetians (with the currants and icing) - but I don’t know anyone else who likes them!

dimorphism · 09/06/2023 09:02

Yep, they seem to be stuck at about age 8 of verbal reasoning and arguing.

My 13 year old can put together a more coherent argument for completely unreasonable demands. Most recently, nike air trainers - have you seen the price?!! Not to mention other reasons for not buying nike.

Anyway, custard creams are wonderful biscuits, no debate. I will stick my fingers in my ears and hum the PC Plum song if you try and bring facts into this argument.

I think the problem is there is so little to back up their side that they end up all having to rely on the same very limited pool of sites stats and info etc that there's no ability for nuance within their argument. So it sounds like they all parrot the same shit because they do.

Link also to absolute lack of capacity to listen to, never mind understand, anyone else's view point. Empathy, emotional intelligence and capacity to handle other view points isn't a big feature, but a belief and expectation of controlling other people's reality and beliefs is.

The innocence of believing if you say 'I'm as a GC as they come but' will convince everyone is a bit worrying really. You just say the magic words and everyone does and believes what you tell them.

Thus saving us the misery of some of the worst biscuits.

The only thing worse than a custard cream is a Rich Tea biscuit. Might as well be eating a bit of plasterboard.

DuesToTheDirt · 08/06/2023 23:26

The thing is,

a) These people really show who they are with violent threats
b) Trans allies refuse to condemn such people, or even distance themselves, thereby showing who they are too,

It's not just one or two lunatics, so yes, the trans-activist movement should be under a duty to address their problem of violence and threats.

How very dare you!

We are done!

If you can't respect the custard creams you can't respect me!

Your intolerance aimed at the poor maligned custard cream reveals a deep and disturbing side of you that up until now you had managed to keep hidden behind your, I see now obviously fake, reasonable person facade.

I'm so disappointed in you SinnerBoy. Quite frankly I expected better from you.

I'm ok with plumsplaining but I do feel that the original Plum is perhaps a little maligned. After all, when he doesn't have enough crimes to deal with, he goes and studies the wildlife and helps them, rather than - oh I don't know - berating women.

Although maybe that Owl really didn't want to be there and had an order placed on it....

And he DID eat ALL the custard creams.

I look forward to the expanded definition in years to come in the dictionary, you know the bit where it explains the origin of the word.

Boiledbeetle · 08/06/2023 23:21

Liking it. I know what you're on about 😁

I always find it rather fascinating the evolution of the TRA 'argument' which can be observed over time here.

It's evolved through -
No debate...
That doesn't happen...
That's not enough times for it to count...
Well, it might happen but you're not talking about it politely enough...
Both sides as bad as each other...
Right wing funding (etc etc)....
Anyone I don't like is a Nazi!...
I'm as GC as they come but...
It's men!...(no shit)
Etc etc etc.

I wonder sometimes if a memo goes out as it's all so very predictable.

I think the problem is there is so little to back up their side that they end up all having to rely on the same very limited pool of sites stats and info etc that there's no ability for nuance within their argument. So it sounds like they all parrot the same shit because they do.
