Rosie Duffield and threats

RedToothBrush · 2024-06-14T16:54:34+00:00

She's pulled out of local hustings because it's not safe for her to attend. But Don't worry. Keir Starmer will be along to offer his support to Rosie and condemn these attacks on democracy soon...

Hopefully not though.

Aww Michael is a bit frit 😕

It'll be considerably nicer and more woman-friendly without that spiteful little twat hanging around.

I’m not one of MN’s many poets but surely there is an easy split-shit-frit-flit ode to Cashperson waiting to happen?

Adios Michael

Well well well. This election is really stirring up the hornets nest.

Well done Rosie for sticking to your guns, and taking the high road whatever your opponents say.

I've seen some nasty lies about Rosie on social media today. I don't believe them for a second. Someone is hoping they'll stick just long enough to stop her getting elected.

Labour, we're watching you. My vote for one is hovering still. Anyone vaguely left wing and gender critical will be getting it.

The BBC story was several notches above its usual level of reporting of this issue. I wonder if that's because it's by Becky Morton, a political reporter, than by one of their special gender correspondents.

I'm listening too. It's an extended interview. Andrew Neil is on top of what has been going on - and clearly appalled by much of it - and giving Rosie lots of time to talk. It's like a breath of fresh air and makes me realise how poorly covered the whole topic has been by the BBC etc.

It's because of this and the BBC's lack of impartiality that I've become opposed to the licence fee, a real 180 turn for me.

Saw a tweet saying that Rosie Duffield is going to be on Andrew Neil's Times Radio show tomorrow. Will be an interesting listen, on at 1.00.

Listening now.
I recommend it.

I see that Cashperson has had the Labour whip withdrawn.

Cashman has been hectoring both people and businesses for years via social media without getting into trouble so I’m glad to see him experiencing a consequence for his negative behaviour.

True. Last week was the turn of thames clipper and James dreyfus. The first was just bizarre (where's the rainbow flag, are LGBT people not welcome etc) the latter was just plain mean.

Re starmer, if the personal is impacting him to this extent professionally, then we have a problem.

Last week was the turn of James Dreyfus

Michael Cashman is a raging homophobe as well as a misogynist.

Interesting bit of info supporting Rosie's choice:

Paul McNally
Jun 14

I’m at the hustings that Rosie was forced to absent herself from. When her apology was read out there was immediate toxic & personal yelling / argy bargy from people only attending to derail proceedings. She made the right decision which allowed other candidates to be heard.

Starmer is on Nick Ferrari LBC tomorrow good chance Rosie's situation will come up.

Sophie Sparkles [the Scottish TRA who was too crazy for the Scottish Greens and was let go} has sent in a complaint about Rosie to Labour now because Rosie reacted to hearing in a committee hearing Kirsty Blackman quoting an over the top threat of suicide by one of Sparkles' partners in 2023.

Is Nick Ferrari likely to ask proper questions, or is he more in the 'disappointed centrist man' fold?

As JK Rowling said "They say karma's a bitch, but I hear she's a TERF."

Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Shame he can't be expelled from the Chamber .

would love to have been there to see his face when it dawned on him that he could no longer spout any old bollocks without consequence.

I'm certain that they'd have been drummed out of the party, toute suite and been prosecuted.

An article in Spiked

https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/06/17/keir-starmers-betrayal-of-rosie-duffield/

I'm not sure if the article was published before Starmer commented on Cashman or if Starmer's remarks were considered so vapid they weren't worthy of acknowledgement.

I too sometimes imagine what would happen if a trans MP got half the abuse, threats and bullying suffered by Rosie Duffield. I'm pretty sure Starmer would have plenty to say and there'd be so many meetings and photo ops.

Keir Starmer’s betrayal of Rosie Duffield

He has allowed the gender-critical Labour MP to be hounded into hiding.
