“There are definitely <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.ph/o/lpwH9/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07/31/gender-critical-books-hidden-librarians-calderdale/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bad actors at play who are radicalising people who are vulnerable. They are radicalising people who are too online.

“And they’re also using this small community as a wedge issue to cause chaos and make people divide amongst themselves.

“When you start tracing it back, the money always links back to fundamental Christian groups in America, Baptist groups, anti-abortion organisations.”

Interesting that other news reports dont include her making these remarks:

Shelagh Fogerty comes out swinging!

"Hoping @MhairiBlack you’ll join me @LBC to discuss your comments on middle aged women with opinions on how to handle gender matters. I should warn you, I’m over 50 and I have questions. My name isn’t Karen. But you know that."

I love my GF. And Gillian Anderson. And Kath Stock. And Helen Joyce. And Eliza Mondegreen. And Jo Bartosh.

And now Shelagh Fogerty.

SirChenjins · 09/08/2023 13:02

Go Shelagh - she'll wipe the floor with wee Mhairi

MorrisZapp · 09/08/2023 13:01

White supremacy? Is she on drugs?

She just sounds limited. I expect these reductive views go down well with her hard of thinking supporters

RealityFan · 09/08/2023 12:40

Angry student politics activist becomes angry MSP activist becomes angry ex-MSP at next election.

Nothing to see here, move along.

SirChenjins · 09/08/2023 12:38

Fucking hell, she's sounding more like she's cut from the same ranty cloth as Katie Hopkins every day.

Is it full of bootleg Tunnocks?

God no! The money I've we've got means only the best for me us!

with regards Me Black as its perfectly acceptable now for politicians to refer to us as 50 year old Karens does that mean we can now refer to incompetent politicians as 30 year old Mharis?

Aren’t we all still waiting for the money to be dropped off in bags at our doors?

I am bitterly disappointed to report that I haven't seen any of this US far-right funding. I was hoping to have buggered off to Santa Barbara by now, and see out my days in an eight-bed mansion with its own swimming pool. How long am I going to have to wait?

Coughs quietly.

Yeah about the money wims, erm.... So.... I arranged for it all to be dropped off at mine, I was going to distribute it, but.... Well... Then I saw this beauty on sale dead cheap and honestly it was just too good a deal to pass on.

I took a executive decision on behalf of all of us (totally forgot to let you all know, my bad!) that it would be useful for travelling up and down the country to let women speak events.

It's currently parked up at a random house, but I've got the keys if anyone wants to borrow it.

What was that? What did I do with the rest of the money? I...babble babble, sorry can't hear you over the private jet engine noise. Look I'll speak to you later OK I should be landing in Santa Barbara in a few hours.

Toodles

Or a Kit Kat stuck to her bum.

AutumnCrow · 09/08/2023 12:24

Maybe she's had a row with her mum.

SinnerBoy · 09/08/2023 12:21

The irony of Black whingeing about a toxic political culture is almost too much. She's done the equivalent of carpet bombing with Agent Orange and is now moaning that it's had an adverse effect on her.

Over in Scotsnet caramacyears thinks that the police inquiry into Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP is ancient history that doesn't warrant talking about. A wee bit too keen on telling us what we can and can't talk about for my liking.

Everyone I know is incredulous that the Police investigations are taking so long and are wondering if Nicola et al are just going to get away with it so it's definitely not ancient history. And more and more keeps coming out - the latest seems to be thousands spent on luxuries on the SNP credit cards. A bit of wishful thinking if people think it's not being talked about, here or in rl.

The whole having a pop at 50 year olds is so weird, among all the other egregious nonsense. When I was very little I couldn't imagine being 30 years old as that was such a Big Number, but Mhairi is 28. Does she not imagine she will be 50 one day and might not think the same way about everything as she does now?

Maybe she figures that seeing as she hasn't outgrown stupid at her age she probably never will.

HagoftheNorth · 09/08/2023 11:52

As ever with TRA politicians, happy to name-call, but no intention of engaging with the actual issues 🙄

Why are you posting this?

Who knew a social media site, actually discussing stuff in the media

Is this your first day on the internet?

Why shouldn't we talk about it?

Because apparently a third of people in the UK aren’t interested. Therefore we shouldn’t be interested or discussing it.

“Our roaches” is a series substitution for “our spaces”, phone…! 🤔
