The Duchess of Cambridge attends the Sarah Everard vigil

My respect for the Duchess has just shot up. For a Royal, this is pretty bold and brave.

Not forgetting other women - if you attended the vigil tonight, thank you for sticking up for women's rights. Let's hope this is an opportunity for the Met Police to review and change how they treat both offending officers and female victims

Oh my god a feminist! Scary!

Grin

I don't report people tbh. I think it's better to leave everything up so people can make sense of threads and make their own minds up.

@Theythinkitsalloveritisnow

The met only get violent with women if they're being uppity, right *@Thewithesarehere*
I don’t think any heads will roll on this. It’s a deeper problem and lots of it has to with hiring and retaining best talent unfortunately. We really do need more women in police now.

'you are a PR bot'

That's the second time that the idea this thread is full of people who work in PR for the royal family has been raised!

Very paranoid.

Interested in this thread?

@Thewithesarehere I think if I was a PR bot I'd choose a less obvious name Grin but FWIW my username came after a bizarre yet brilliant thread saying how Carole Middleton was the best mum ever, and included the glorious line (after praising Kate and Pippa) "And James bless him really tried hard with his marshmallows". Tickled me and prompted a username change.

Anyway I'm a teacher. Do an AS. If I was a PR bot I'd be sacked by now for calling Prince Andrew a massive nonce.

More women in police is a good idea in theory but in practice reading threads on here they often seem to get subsumed into the culture.

Cressida dick is awful.

Theythinkitsalloveritisnow · 14/03/2021 02:18

@thewithsarehere here's my theory for you- you couldn't give a fuck about Sarah Everard, you couldn't give a fuck about the violence on Saturday evening, you couldn't even give a fuck about KM, or women in general, you're a met apologist and trying to take the high ground around this makes you look like a psychopath

Well you would know

@Thewithesarehere it is a deeply, deeply offensive thing to come on a post about a murder victim and blame her murder, not on the man who did it or his colleagues who dismissed a sex offence and therefore could have prevented it, but some corporate bollocks about retaining talent. Have some fucking respect.

Calling names makes you look weak.
Now you can’t say anything else so you have come down to this.
I do give a fuck as I have tried to tell my take on this with examples. You don’t want to stop fangirling, go on. It’s just quite distasteful.

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 14/03/2021 02:22

I wish I was a PR bot for the RF. you get a free house to live in, and apparently duties consist of posting on MN all day. Well I do that now for free Grin

Not when it's an accurate description

As opposed to fangirling the Met police?

@Thewithesarehere - please, start another thread with any issues you want to highlight re the police. But take your arguments away from this thread

I’m definitely not tarring all police with the same brush. But this thread is NOT the place to be defending them.

Seriously? I thought you will get my joke. I have been bleating on and on about incompetency and systems making mistakes and having deep flaws, and the need to change them radically. Whether it is sexism and systematic failure in police or the need of the RF for PR opportunity off of a murder victim.

I know it’s a thread about KM and Sara Everard. In that order. Hmm
Anyhow, are you the thread police?

Theythinkitsalloveritisnow · 14/03/2021 02:27

@Thewithesarehere I'm weak? No, I"m being absolutely honest about how I feel about your behaviour on this thread. You have been aggressive, insulting, belittling and frankly an embarrassment .And who is it I'm supposed to be fangirling? I'm sure with your endless, desperate whataboutery you can come up with something

NiceGerbil · 14/03/2021 02:28

Saying you will ignore another poster because of unspecified posts on FWR is definitely not weak though.

Grin

Calling women weak on a thread about this is a bit.. dunno. Yes we are generally weaker than men which is why they attack us so much in a variety of ways.

Poor wording to me.

JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 14/03/2021 02:29

Jaaaaysus what does the order bloody matter?!

I'm not fucking Yoda I'm not gonna word it "vigil of Sarah Everard Kate Middleton visits she does"

Look at you desperately trying to deflect, it's truly pathetic

But earlier you said women were 'crying misogyny' didn't you?

I think the poster is just having fun winding people up. They obviously enjoy being obnoxious and in appropriate.

@Thewithesarehere no you haven't. Stop saying you've said things on this thread you haven't.

Anyway I'm off to bed, that's enough fuckwittery for one evening thank you.

OP posts:
JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows · 14/03/2021 02:37

@Thewithesarehere yeah so is Sarah Everard's if you look closely.

Would you have regarded the thread completely differently if I'd swapped the order of their names in my title?

What an embarrassing attempt at deflection

OP posts:
Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum · 14/03/2021 02:37

My nephew is a police officer and even I can see how Sarah was badly let down by the police. Also as an institution they do need a major reeducation of how they handle domestic violence, stalking, intimidation and a number of other things. This has been much needed for many years.
