People have repeatedly implied it and it's offensive to me because:

  1. Felix has some very MRA, extreme views that I strongly disagree with
  2. he gets brought up a lot with it bring implied posters not toeing the FWR line are him. Its a shorthand cliquey insult and a very effective way of making a personal attack without saying something offensive that would be deleted
  3. it Implies I'm a troll or a sock puppet.

If you have concerns report me to MNHQ, you've said before that you've been keeping tabs and reporting a lot of my stuff so I assume you are well aware I'm not a troll.

And I have ZERO fucking inclination to search your past usernames. Not least because you're so prolific I'd get 10s of thousands of results to wade through. Life is waaaaaaaaaay too short for that shit.

CassieMaddox · 30/06/2024 17:33

If you search my old username you'll see I've had plenty of run ins with Felix so I'd really appreciate it if you stopped implying I am him. It's extremely offensive on multiple levels.

I didn't. Morphed into = turned into, not that you are the original Felix! As you well know.

And offensive? Pull the other one. Nobody is that sensitive, surely?! The words 'offensive' and 'offended' have ceased to have any proper meaning on this board, I can tell you.

Either I'm totally confused about what's going on here, or CassieMaddox is. The OP states that the candidate 'has been threatened with arrest for the leaflets she distributed on a charge of malicious communications'.

What have her tweets go to do with anything? Has she been arrested or charged with malicious communications regarding tweets she's written?

I think it is you, sorry. The OP links a tweet by one of party of women's favourite stewards, not a journalist. It is all over Louise's own twitter feed. This is being blown up by PoW for their own reasons and if it turns out in fact there genuinely has been a "malicious communication" and Louise broke the law, then all these threats about "interfering with an election" etc are likely to be extremely unhelpful for those involved.

Anyway clearly we aren't going to agree. I'm not going to apologise for being supportive of public servants though, especially when there is no evidence they've done anything wrong. Far rather have the police force we currently do than the KGB-style militarised police that Reform are proposing.

I'm very much looking forward to this nonsense all being done with on Friday. Although no doubt KJK can provoke some kind of altercation in Bristol on Tuesday for a bit more clicks.

The police contacted a candidate about a complaint over approved legal election leaflets. Nowt about tweets. Please read the thread before jumping in with your usual authoritarianism.

🤣
Nice bit of Darvo there. "Authoritarianism" my arse. I'm as entitled to an opinion as anyone else.
I just tend not to believe the "it wasn't me,
honest guv" versions from alleged offenders. Too much time dealing with teenagers.

And the repeated tweets and phoning the police, as well as posting frankly crazy videos from a busy city centre location claiming a marked police car parked quite some distance away from you is "there for you" gives the impression to me of a movement deliberately trying to pick a fight with the police. No doubt to justify the "two tier policing" guff that seems to be cause du jour.

Cassie has morphed into everybody's 'favourite' police officer from the CF threads!

Hahaha. The same thought occurred to me.

Oh OK. But with no knowledge of the case, the circumstances where the "malicious communication" complaint was made, or who complained. Solely kn the basis of the person who committed the alleged offences tweets, you are confident that the police made that up are happy you know best and you can call them criminals on the Internet.

Where is the register of banned insults anyway.
This thread is about the conduct of the police, who are paid to uphold the law, not to harass women and subvert the democratic process.

"...so complaints will be made, no doubt p.c rainbow derangement syndrome will be plotting retribution"

Does she think she is immune to complaints being made and investigated against her? So far we've had "tr--n", "fragile f-cuks" and now this tweeted for all to see.

btw I'm starting to receive feedback from those reddit posts using "tr--n", the posts are being removed and users given warnings. That confirms what I thought that it is a slur recognised by Reddit, thanks to whoever let me know about them.

Before anyone says Reddit just likes to give out bans, I've had a reddit account for years without warnings or bans and have taken part in some good LGBT subs where one can meet with other LGBT people or talk about related topics (actual LGBT subs, not pretend ones which are just gender critical in disguise).

I have a feeling some people just dislike reddit because they won't put up with transphobia or other bigotry the way other forums might.

This can't be real,it's too dumb.

I guess to go back to this point, politicians need public servants (like police) to execute their policies. So yes I think they should be polite about them in public if they are serious about being effective in politics.
Obviously PoW aren't trying to be MPs, just spread the message. But I think an awful lot of people will be switched off by "shock jock" style twitter tantrums. I know I am.

Well if you think you can do better, please, be my guest. Go and do better.

Why should a parliamentary candidate be polite to criminals trying to subvert an election?

Absolutely, he has committed a criminal offence therefore is a criminal.

CassieMaddox · 30/06/2024 14:36

Are you calling the police "criminals"? That's quite serious. Especially when they've been named on twitter and on here

Well they have form eh.

Brefugee · 30/06/2024 14:44

CassieMaddox · 30/06/2024 14:35

It could be that.
Or it could be about a parliamentary candidate misusing their position to harass someone. The police do have to investigate reported crimes too.

I guess it'll come out in the wash.

I still think phoning police officers to basically say "do you know who I am?" And broadcasting it on twitter is unwise and unnecessary. But KJK loves a good bit of clickbait

the police in the UK have been overreaching for a few years now - in the direction of women talking about women's rights.

A big slap in the face for them (metaphorically) is well overdue.

OldCrone · 30/06/2024 14:32

the conversation with the police officer was based on her election leaflet, let's try to not wander off into other realms.

Exactly. This is about a police officer possibly interfering with an election (a criminal offence). It's not about name-calling on twitter.

Quite. I'm wondering if the Superintendent "establishing the facts" is going to backfire on Louise. Seems very unwise to tweet some of the things she has (and other PoW members and supporters).
It comes across very goady to me.
