Influx of far-right posters

670 replies

Why has the site suddenly had an influx of far-right posters? Almost overnight.

Is this a concerted campaign by the black shirts from Dover, Reform or Tommy ten names to infiltrate women's SM?

How can Labour who have been in opposition until two years ago, have a worse track record when it comes to allowing GI to embed itself than the party who held power?

Because their overall position in opposition was for GI to be embedded further than it was.

The Tory government hoisted the trans shitshow on us. From PM May's Self ID, PM Johnson refusing to say only women have a cervix, PM Truss reducing the cost of a GRC to £5🤯, successive Education ministers being Self ID. Sure their minister stood at the Despatch Box and said Transmen are women and transwomen are women in response to ammendments the Lords were seeking to their Maternity Bill. A Maternity Bill for crying out loud.🙄

Both the Conservatives and Labour are responsible for the trans shit show - this issue hasn't only just come since Labour was elected.

That said the Green Party takes it to a whole new level!

It’s also not just here, most western countries have seen the same. The U.K. is one of the few that have push back tg.

It doesn't much matter what position a party takes in opposition, does it? What matters is that we had a Conservative minister for health who didn't once step in to stop the NHS putting men on women's wards or drugs and surgeries provided to minors. We had a Conservative minister for education who didn't tell schools to stop transitioning children. We had a Conservative Justice Secretary who never once said there were to be no men in woman's prisons. We had women working across all departments headed by Conservative ministers who feared for their jobs if they dared to deny men were women. And not a peep from those with the power to stop it. Yet this is somehow the fault of the opposition?

You are being rather selective in your poll choice. In all other polls Labour is leading 😊 The shine is coming off Reform.

TERFs?🤯

Radical feminism is a very left wing philosophy. Radical feminists are women. So no, this bunch of right wing men in balaclavas are not TERFs.🙄

Way to go missing the point, so very left of you.

Why would it not matter? If MPs are speaking strongly against sex realism it shows their contempt.

So many accused women of being far right on the issue. That came from the left.

So keep your own personal tally of which individuals have done that, and if it looks like they're going to be in influential positions, weigh that into your decision as to whether to vote for them. As im sure you do.
At least they have given you the heads up by being clear on their views, rather than saying nothing and letting it happen while they turned a blind eye or were asleep on the job.

No the work of women getting us here is what I remember. The backlash and abuse from those that didn’t want it too.

The accusations of being far right from the left included.

Despite that the women who have got us here have been brilliant, it’s still not out of the woods.

A left coalition which some want could unwind it easily with Polanski and others keen to do that.

Yes, a coalition involving the Greens could indeed be problematic. But unless Burnham can turn a pigs ear into a silk purse it may well be where we end up.

It matters quite a lot what an opposition party believes. If a situation is bad why vote for a party whose ideological leaning would make it worse?

I consider how many people hold the view, how much influence those particular individuals would have and how that would manifest. Then weigh that up against other priorities and considerations.
Like everyone I suppose. For example some Tories will think Badenoch wrong in recruiting and defending the former nazi who terrorised Baroness Berger, but will vote Conservative anyway.

If you do get the left collation and Polanski influences and reverses gender policy is it ok for you?

You probably won’t even get higher spending to make up for it.

Actually the Green Party has a cunning plan to come up with the money for extra spending- they plan to just print it.

Now what could possibly go wrong with that idea?

I wouldn't be OK with anything that threatened women's rights to single sex spaces, based on biological sex at birth. However I'd be very surprised if Polanski had sufficient influence to do this even in a coalition, or even the drive for it. Its not exactly a vote winner now the mainstream has woken up, is it?

Don't be silly. I've engaged fully in a conversation about support for GI from some within the Labour party withoit once trying to dodge or distract. I used a perfectly reasonable parallel to illustrate my point, that we don't have to agree with everything that a party does in order to decide on balance we want to vote for them.
You are happy it seems to require me to justify myself but use silly cliches when I've explained how this is not just a matter for Labour voters to consider.

Remember Rishi said what a woman was and was called every name under the sun. He effectively put a stop to Scotland's self ID nonsense.

I didn’t appreciate how great Rishi was on this issue.

Just checking in on my fellow far right amigos.

OneLilacHedgehog · 10/09/2026 19:22

The conservative party was the party that planned to introduce self id. They only changed direction when they realised how unpopular it was.

DestituteDesperate · 10/09/2026 19:24

Remember the campaign of not all people that vote Brexit are racist but all racists voted for Brexit.

Not one person, myself included, believed the UK would vote to leave the EU.

The media, politicians and the shills on here that continue to smear ordinary people with legitimate concerns for the country’s future, will be in for a rude awakening.

Calling every white person far right or racist has now lost its meaning it’s become a badge of honour.

When on social media you had people calling themselves far right for not wanting men in their toilets and other tongue in cheek memes and post, the left must really feel like they’re in trouble.

The contempt of court issue with Tommy Robinson ended up backfiring and millions of people, despite it being illegal to watch or air in the UK, watched the documentary where the Asian teachers, confidently said the ‘victim’ in that refugee case against a British lad, was the aggressor and had history for sexually abusing girls, teachers and others.

Suppression of opinions and thoughts, no matter whether your agree or not, will cause even the average non confrontational person to eventually rebel.

I see my friends scared to speak up because as a white person, they’ll instantly be labelled.

Look at how many of us BAME have now joined the far right movement (by that, be it Tory or Reform).

The only racial bias I see is where it’s insinuated that because someone’s parent was born outside the UK they can not be against illegal immigration. Many people like Piers see everyone as a refugee and cannot fathom we all have parents that came here legally and not as refugees or pretending to be refugees.

Just as they can not fathom black and Asians not wanting to be welfare dependent.

Many on the left see us useful idiots - if you’re not on benefits; in a two parent stable home, came over legally by following the rules and want others to do the same, you’re far right.

It seems like only one side appear to operate in racial frameworks.

A poster on here boldly made a comment that inferred the white immigrants from Europe were more preferable to the brown and black ones from Asia and Africa whilst trying to call people on the right homophobes and racist, quite ironic.

No he didn't. Radical Feminists fought this through the courts.

Rishi Sunak did nothing beyond appointing Gillian Keegan, yet another in a long line of GI advocates,🙄 to Minister of Education. He also provided my favourite answer to "what is a woman?. He said it was whatever PM Johnson said.🤣🤣🤣 Was he the PM when Jamie Wallis was appointed to Women and Equalities? I'd hoped for better from him.

But then I'd hoped for better when Liz Truss became PM as well.
Doh!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
