Dawn Butler is reporting Mumsnet to the police

The helpful twitter person who alerted DB gave the link to the page on the thread where DB's tweet re Tory hate campaign somehow being the reason for the totally horrific murder - where of course a few FWRers made some not totally complimentary comments about DB.

But maybe the mere fact that women talking to each other is the problem and needs to be reported to the police, rather than women stating the facts rather than following her lead of wild allegations

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

By Anthony Watson of GLADD.

This is how I imagine life under a Labour government will be. It's quite frightening.

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

She lost me when she said a few years ago now that children are born without a sex.

Lol - beyond parody.

They'll never take me alive.

Just theorising here, but could it be that people are responding to a post on Twitter because they saw it on Twitter?

I don’t know, but suspect there are more users of Twitter than MN….

Quite. If she's the best of what was on offer then the country's truly fucked.

Bloody ridiculous.

I think anyone who wants to make a complaint about what women on Mumsnet are saying should be required to spend a week actually reading threads first.

So sick of the childishness that is getting outraged via a game of broken telephone.

Oooh Mumsnet is awful! Dreadful! Horrible! I read on twitter that someone said that they'd heard that someone told their neighbour's dog walkers aunt that someone on Mumsnet said...

No different to the JK Rowling thing. People who've not read what she actually said getting outraged and making threats after deciding what she said based on someone's interpretation of someone else's interpretation of someone else's interpretation of what she said.

It's ridiculous.

Read and quote the primary source - in context - or stfu.

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?

I've searched her name on the Ghey verdict thread and it was mostly just people quoting her and saying she's wrong.

Unless I missed something heinous or it was deleted, she wasn't even called an idiot until she'd spouted that guff about the police.

And truth is an absolute defence in libel cases.

You mean she is trying to stop people pointing out she has misrepresented the findings of a murder trial to make some cheap jibe at the Tories.

Just how irresponsible is that.

The courts and the parents, and in fact MSM have gone to great lenghts to say the murder was not related to trans identity.

How could she be so crass.

Who?

Hahahahahaha.

This is Labour, though. This is what is coming.

Terrifying.

Is there a specific conversation she is referring to?

I used to have a lot of respect for Dawn, but she lost the plot over this issue a long time ago.

Imagine wasting police time with this shite? Brent needs better representation than this.
