I'm using stars to censor, but it looks like this is affecting formatting if anyone's wondering where the random bold is coming from.

That is the lowest of the low. I mean, photoshop in 'tr**n' [new to me, too] or something transphobic - that would be not just bad but, apparently, illegal.

But invoking .. I'm sorry again I don't even want to put onscreen the detail of how inappropriate this is.
Obviously FW is trying to back up the old accusation that CG=fascist, but to take it all the way back to the Third Reich is beyond despicable.

I don't know what to say. I find it hard to believe that somebody would even think of doing that.

" photoshop in 'tr**n'"

Did this happen on the actual leaflets? Or just her tweets?

I saw the tweets for myself and there are archives, she has indeed used "tr**n" in at least 3 tweets.

A word starting with F was inserted after our. It was exactly what you can't bring yourself to write

basically be allowing others to control what I say.

oh the irony.

RantyMcRanterton · 28/06/2024 19:44

That is very civil of you, much appreciated. Thank you.

RantyMcRanterton · 28/06/2024 14:29

Christinapple a question for you, please?

You have been told that using the slur cis is considered offensive by many on these boards. Would you please stop using it in discourse on FWR, please. Thank you.

The only times I've mentioned it on here have been discussing with others on its definition, which there seemed a little uncertainty of which I felt might help from a little clarification backed up from Oxford English Dictionary, Collins and dictionary.com

As cisgender and its prefix cis are perfectly recognised and valid terms which aren't slurs, I see no reason not to use it which would basically be allowing others to control what I say.

But I guess since this is mumsnet, I will be happy to comply with your wishes for the sake of a civil discussion.

BezMills · 28/06/2024 19:43

I think it's absolutely disgusting that some malicious actor is impersonating F Wallace on the Xits and Mumsnet, making them look like a proper [redacted]. I only hope the real FW is on the ball and sues the bejesus out of the fake FW

Because only a desperate saddo lackwit would be on the internets faking stuff, and the law should protect decent people from such depraved behaviour.

I emailed the Party of Women for their thoughts on Ms MacDonald's recent Twitter diatribes.

"Great word though isn't it?"

What Kelly-Jay Keen, founder of above party, thinks of the slur "tr**n". Good to know the Party of Women has no interest in women's rights and just exists to be transphobic.

Don't flatter yourself.

'It is an offence to make or publish a false statement of fact about the personal character or conduct of a candidate in order to affect the return of a candidate at an election.
False statements that are not about a candidate’s personal character or conduct are not illegal under electoral law, but could be considered as libel or slander.'

Quick reminder that it is a criminal offence to lie about an election candidate. For example by posting photoshopped pictures of their leaflet and suggesting that was what they were handing out.

Does the poster changing leaflets fancy this outcome?

WhodoVoodoo · 28/06/2024 19:11

Well whoever did that is a duplicitous fuck and likely engaging in illegal activity - what are the chances?

Sorry, I'm not following this - perhaps the screenshot by FW was deleted before I saw it, or have I just missed it?

Could it be that the word 'our' in 'Our Solutions' was changed to .. no I can't even bring myself to write it. That would be a whole new level of offensiveness, and would call for a whole new level of censure for perpetrator.
So.. what was photoshopped in?

I haven't scrolled back to the original screenshot but assuming the one Freda posted above is genuine. I do wish that PoW had re-thought the header to that last lot of points.

That said, I have no idea what their (Edited to clarify I mean Freda's) post is about.

Who can we report this crime to? Is it just the police?

FredaWallace666 · 28/06/2024 17:14

The thing to remember about all this is that people recognise dog whistles. they know what Keen stands for and it isnt "women"

Imagine if someone dropped one of these leaflets around Warrington where Brianna Ghey lived? People are correct to point out the lies.

You cant call people sexual predators on youtube then claim to stand for women. no women have benefited from that. Only Kellie. Be real

Edited

What does she stand for then?

Because she's never mentioned global warming,or the price of train tickets.

"be real" from someone with no concept of reality who resorts to dodgy photoshop because they have nothing better. 😂😂😂

All to distract from attempts to interfere with the democratic process - a crime to be reported to the police. https://www.policeconduct.gov.uk/complaints/submit-a-complaint
