I suppose it's quite touching the faith people have in the power of teachers and schools.

"Oh look, there's these two highly disturbed and psychotic teenagers who cold-bloodedly planned the torture and murder of one of their fellow pupils but of course they wouldn't have done it if a teacher had given a lesson on "be kind"

Who is Tom in all of this?

I hope anyone who has ever posted on MN has a safe bunker to retire too?
A commune in the mountains with large gates?
I'm posting from the basement, hiding in a barrel, behind the furnace and the old sheets...

Aw crap, I just gave away my position...

Moving to higher ground.. find me at the top of the Nuneaton Nipple..

Absolutely agree

JenniferJupiterVenusandMars · 22/12/2023 07:13

God help us if Labour get voted in and if we have to put up with this level of stupidity.

Also clearly no idea that MNetters tend to happily and very thoroughly remove the Michael with recipes when poked, and that the Daily Mail hang out in these parts. Her advisors are going to need a stiff gin about now.

Oh please pick this up, Daily Mail…

I dunno know but no Tory ever said giraffes are mostly gay and children have born having no sex.

tbh it’s a low bar

Or that only 99% of women don’t have a penis.

stealtheatingtunnocks · 22/12/2023 01:57

Also stating that I can’t vote Labour because of this sort of thing. Hope you are reading, SPADS.

HagoftheNorth · 21/12/2023 23:05

Looks like Tom’s message has been taken down, Dawn showing rather less self-awareness!

teawamutu · 21/12/2023 22:58

... Although it is indeed a cheering prospect to think of the headlines.

Nice one, Dawn. Keep bringing the sunlight.

She is being ridiculous.. but to suggest all of Labour are like this is nonsense. They still have my vote. I mean we could list the ridiculous things the Tories have done and said..

Ridiculous yes, trying to legislate women as a sex class out of existence and criminalise those who object, not so much.

Unfortunately.

I'd truly love to vote Labour, but while Starmer tacitly condones the idiocy of Whittome, Osbourne and Butler and the appalling bullying of Rosie Duffield, I can't.

If brains were dynamite she wouldn't have enough to blow her hat off.

So, someone tweeted at her:

"FYI you've been mentioned on transphobic forum mumsnet, that's where the pile-on is coming from"

She responded:

"Oh I wondered where these nasty vicious inhumane people were coming from.

Time for me to unfollow and report Mumsnet to @metpoliceuk

Thanks for the info Tom"

So:

  1. She hasn't read the thread in question, simply relied on a claim by someone on Twitter.
  2. She claims she will report Mumsnet (not just the thread, but the site) to the Metropolitan Police, and even tags them in, because obviously the Met don't have more important things to deal with than reading an internet forum.
  3. She is reporting Mumsnet, not because of anything that has been said on Mumsnet (she hasn't read the thread, remember) but because some people on Twitter have been rude to her, and she thinks they are people who have come from Mumsnet, even though she has absolutely no evidence that this is the case.
  4. Having decided to report a popular internet forum to the police on the basis of not a single shred of evidence, she has decided to announce this decision to the whole of Twitter, with no apparent consideration for how ridiculous it makes her - and by extension her political party - appear.

I ask this question in all honesty: how is it possible for someone so lacking in basic thinking skills to be an elected representative?

Quite.

OhPea · 21/12/2023 21:31

Twitter/X is also an open forum where all sorts
of opinions about people are expressed, in far less moderate language. The internet is brimming with such fora. She’s going to be busy if she needs to bring them all down.

Or maybe it’s just “mums” she wants to shut up? 🤔

Karensalright · 21/12/2023 21:28

@overnightangel yes i know what you mean, hoping it will have unravelled somewhat by the time of the election

overnightangel · 21/12/2023 21:20

I’ve voted Labour all my life but her, Nadia Whittome and Kate Osborne are doing their best to dissuade me from ever doing so again.

Idiots

RethinkingLife · 21/12/2023 21:05

Is anyone thinking that this is the time for Met Police to step up and charge people for wasting their time with frivolous complaints?

Mind, it's probably easier for them to disregard a mere woman like DB than run the risk of ignoring the instructions of the people who typically use the police as their personal and private enforcement proxies.

Karensalright · 21/12/2023 20:42

Just read the whole lot and the “heinous” thread where Butler is mentioned. I think it quite correct to call her out for using this crime as a political football it is in such bad taste.

I cannot know if certain services were better funded then this would never have happened, nor can she.

The tweet is hilarious. Tom even gave her the link that she clearly didn’t look at, which is going to make her look super silly to the Met.

I think that the school guidance document is one of the moments in time where bits of this “ball of tangled string” is unravelling.

I had up until a few months ago been completely oblivious to the extent of what’s been going on regarding TRAs apart from the odd huh? When stuff cropped up in my mother’s fave paper.

So i raise a glass to you all on this board who have stuck at it for so long. Sit back and enjoy, your time is coming i do believe.

“AIBU: I have reported Mumsnet to the police” 😂

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4967966-aibu-to-point-out-that-mumsnet-is-currently-trending-on-twitterx-because-a-labour-mp-has-rather-comically-reported-it-to-the-police?reply=131617449

Not quite your suggestion but this has been posted. 😂

Doesn't she get paid to come out with this shit?

By Anthony Watson of GLADD.

Gosh, just looked that up. Clicked into a ‘gendercriticalwoman.blog’ . I’m aghast. Also aghast that anyone would really say that babies are born without a sex.
