Nancy Kelly Quits Stonewall

Mind...blown

There is no place for such foul cake bigotry language on this thread. Be kind to cakes. They are foodstuffs too you know.

I should have said "to weigh out" rather than "measure out"

No, you weigh the eggs in their shells.

With old fashioned balance scales, not electronic ones, you don't even have to weigh the eggs. You use the eggs instead of weights to measure out the flour and sugar for a Victoria sponge.

😱😱 celery twice! Only edible if you put peanut butter down the groove.

And still no Nancy news in the thirty seconds since my last

Just looked at Stonewalls Twitter, their last tweet was their bye Nancy nice knowing tweet. Nothing from them since.

Didn't mermaids go uber quiet when Susie was fired?

Plus there is no new Nancy news to be found anywhere.

And as i can multitask on one post:

@Abhannmor Old Ma Kelley's Halloween Brack will be in the cake shops soon.

Mmmmmmmmmmm nice!

Old Ma Kelley's Halloween Brack will be in the cake shops soon.

Unless she decides to manage the Iranian Women's Soccer Team to a shock World Cup Win .
Or start a column in the Guardian.

After she sells out the Edinburgh Fringe.

"I love that the recipe I learnt from starts with “First weigh your eggs”."

My daughter came out with that about 3 years ago. Apparently Nana told her and I confirmed it and learned it from her mother, who had it from hers in turn.

I didn't realise that you weigh the contents!

Olive oil, chocolate and almond? I may look, just out of curiosity...

Just find some celery that identifies as cake - job done. After all that's exactly the same thing...

I've had celery twice today, fried with spinach and kale, with turmeric and chilli. Yum!

Sincere apologies and I really didn't mean to derail. But I had a great recipe for 8 apple cake.

<puts it away sadly>

The only thing she has tweeted about today has been a couple of tweets on the runner Caster and the Switzerland decision thing.

Other than that nothing since the I'm quitting tweet.

Oh bless you ChersfrozenFace I will have a go at making that. Thank you so much.
BoiledBeetle thank you very much for the update.
Rebellious and Loobi please don’t hide the thread. It’s being kept warm, but as and when if you do check back in and you want to know the latest on the Stonewall CEO departure, I for one would be happy to update you assuming I have what you want to know.

Webberley is up for some Diversity award. Kelly isn't, so far as I'm aware but, as a sop, I'd be surprised is there wasn't something bestowed some sort of attagirl. I think it would be more to keep Stonewall and its supporters sweet. If she doesn't get anything! Well!

I hope she doesn't get anything.

is she up for some award at the moment or am i confusing her with the gender gp woman?

@Slothtoes and anyone else interested, recipe here

I may well be opining on cake and posting patisserie porn over there, too.

I've not been to Cornwall in years but I've never forgotten doing the splits 😳

I can't see her being enobled, she's achieved fuck all so far as I can see. Unless sowing division and confusion counts as an achievement. She's not left Stonewall better than she found it. She might get one of the lesser awards, like a participation trophy. If she's replaced with a transperson, i can't see that going down well.

And also... If we leave this thread to sit here all lonely waiting for news by the time that happens this thread could have slipped down the page of into the next page so someone then starts a new thread and then people whinge because now there's two open threads about the same thing.

If something happens we switch back to that.

Minus all the potential contributors to a discussion about Stonewall’s next steps in its campaign, who won’t be posting, because they’ve clicked on “unwatch thread” due to pages upon pages of derail.

I've been for a search I can't see anything new about her. You'd think if she was leaving with a new job sorted she's be shouting it from the rooftops.

And she's never going to apologise.

There's nearly 800 posts left. There's is nothing going on with her leaving that is being reported. If something happens we switch back to that.

On the off chance nothing happens in the time it takes to fill the 800 posts I believe the way mumsnet works is we can start any number of threads on a subject so we just start thread 2.

I couldn’t agree more.

I just clicked on the thread, saw there were four new pages since this morning, got ready to read an interesting discussion and instead got four pages of derail.

It’s happened on other threads too.

I could understand it with an In Bad Faith OP thread, but this thread isn’t in that category.

Rebellious if it helps, I am delighted that homophobic Nancy has gone.

RebelliousCow I cross posted with you, in my second post to this thread just now.
And if you’re trying to keep other posters on track, I asked questions about NK, in my first post to the thread a few minutes ago, but I also like cake chat and that’s fine too.

I haven't seen splits for years. Any sitings would be good to know about.

Lemon drizzle is disgusting, as is battenburg, carrot and coffee cake. Cream is also gross, beastly stuff

How about we start a dedicated cake thread?

But where? Food and recipes forum? To be named Cake - recipes and opinions?
