So someone called Vanessa Frake has joined Reform as justice adviser.

Vanessa Frake this morning in Times Radio

“I’m not an expert on trans people, all that I know is that everybody should be treated with humanity and decency.”

Reform UK’s justice adviser
@VanessaFrake
says trans women should be “assessed on an individual basis” rather than automatically removed from women’s prisons.

Does she know anything about Reform and its supporters?

Edited

I know. I thought their vetting was supposed to have improved.

Nige has stepped away from returning refugees to France, he is now going to return Afghan refugees to Afghanistan.

Yes, that will work just as well Hmm

Does the reason matter? Surely it’s a good thing regardless of why they do it? It shows reporting offensive posts works.

I guess so but they've asked me to go through whole threads for them before.

Britain is Lawless and you can't wear jewellery in London after 9pm.

I know we are not supposed to call Reform supporters thick, but if you believe that, you are thick.

MsJinks · 04/08/2025 12:20

Thank god that Gaza child one is full! Though I was posting yet again as it concluded - but pointless.
I think returning anyone to Afghanistan is against many laws - you would be returning them for certain torture.
Sick making from the revolting NF and worse he is probably correct many will support this.

So TWAW then.

OK

Let's see all those people who turned their nose up at Labour and voted Tory ("because they know what a woman is") do now.

I bet they suddenly develop a lot of empathy for "trans folk". As long as it lets them bash with the best of them.

Goldenbear · 04/08/2025 12:30

Well don't worry, he is concerned about the "safety of women and children", that's his priority..

Thanks for starting a new thread DuncinToffee. I have slightly resigned myself to limited MN contribution as it does seem a bit futile if you just get an onslaught back. I also end up lowering myself to a level of bolshiness last exhibited in my 90's youth😆!

placemats · 04/08/2025 12:40

Oh that was an exciting match and a deserved draw for the Test Series.

I don't understand why Forage is playing the Britain is Lawless card. He says it's just the start of the campaign and too early to have full details. How can any self respecting entrepreneur take Reform seriously?

Notonthestairs · 04/08/2025 12:45

What amuses me is that its the same posters that suggested any discussion regarding the considerable downsides to Brexit and austerity policies was 'talking global Britain down' and unpatriotic.

Now they cant stop themselves describing Britain as a tinderbox shithole and all their children are leaving for the safety of Dubai.

PandoraSocks · 04/08/2025 12:52

I am waiting for the threads to start about this horrible murder. So far crickets.

But I suppose the victim is Muslim and the alleged perpetrator has a British sounding name, so...

I always picture them as that Paul Whitehouse character from The Fast Show, who changes his mind depending on which mate in the pub is speaking Grin

Hibiscus. And thanks for the new thread. Will post a cat later who has rather taken to my garden and loves to be there. Very friendly.

Mighty! I bow to your gardening prowess

Thank you. I took it as a cutting from my old garden when moving. It obviously likes the new place.

I don't think they ever say anything else than thanks for reporting it.

I still report personal attacks and hate/racist speech. MN was on the ball on the children from Gaza thread.

I reported two posts late last night and got replies to both this morning confirming that they'd been deleted.

OMG. I had a lot of time for her and have read her book too. I can't believe she's joined Reform.

Is anyone else having problems uploading photos today? I'm trying to pay my tax but can't get it to show on the preview.

LittleBowSheep · 04/08/2025 15:28

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 03/08/2025 20:11

Thanks @DuncinToffee.
Thought I'd provide otter tax for a change.
I'm slightly concerned though that someone may complain that these are not actually British otters but Asian Short-Clawed immigrant otters. Coming over here eating our fish, using our stones...

Lol, I can think of a number of posters who would love to have a rant about foreign otters.

They should get out there and pull up some Himalayan Balsam if they care so much about being invaded. Make themselves useful for once.

I just heard that news. One of the local FB pages in my town will be very upset about this. I wouldn’t be surprised if they post a go fund me for him. 🙄

Well he must have heard that Mumsnet is up for civil war, what with shops saying "No English" somewhere in Madeupishire

Obviously gobbing on social media.

It's funny peculiar because there was a warning post from a perfectly innocent local Facebook page I'm following to be careful because the police follow it. I never post on there or like.

Also following a Facebook page from Northern Ireland that's inclusive who put out a warning today that posts that seek to divide will be blocked.
