Labour isn't Working - Thread 40

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 🥀

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Okay, I’m a bit confused that that message was posted here

We’re having a nice civilised chat here - shouldn’t it have gone on a thread where there was actually a problem? Or threads plural? I don’t know I haven’t seen it. (All the crazy I saw last night was not actually political).

I probably missed something, maybe you guys wanted an update here.

Edited

No idea. A very novel way to address a site stuff issue.

@LuckyHazelFox in case it makes you laugh, I was listening to “actually romantic” and it made me think of you.

🎶 “But it's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly wild
All the effort you've put in
It's actually romantic
I really gotta hand it to you
No man has ever loved me like you do
Hadn't thought of you in a long time
But you keep sending me funny valentines
And I know you think it comes off vicious
But it's precious, adorable
Like a toy chihuahua
Barking at me from a tiny purse
That's how much it hurts….

you just give me so much…..attention” etc

😆 xx

Sorry MN response has been posted here everyone

Hi all. Due to the volume of reports we're receiving about this and similar threads, we feel the need to step in.

We know political threads can be passionate, and people are allowed to disagree sometimes very strongly, but we need everyone to keep that disagreement about the issue, rather than turning it into something personal.

Some of the behaviour we've seen on these threads is pretty unpleasant and can feel like rounding on people because their views don't align. With this in mind, and for the sake of civil discussion on polarised topics, please don’t tag someone merely to make a point about how often they post, when they joined Mumsnet or what you assume their motives are. Don’t comb through someone’s posting history, speculate about their identity or activity elsewhere, or use AI to analyse their posts. And please don’t keep pressing someone to reply, or treat a lack of response as proof that they have no answer.

If you think a post breaks Talk guidelines, report it and let us look at it. Personal attacks, troll-hunting, goading and attempts to turn a thread against one person aren’t okay whatever the topic.

We will take action where posts cross the line, and we may take further action where we see a repeated pattern of targeting or provoking other users.
Please help us keep these threads lively and challenging without making them hostile.

MNHQ

Thank you @BeckyAMumsnet.

Can I ask why you've posted that on this thread please?

It's clear Labour is turning the UK into an authoritarian state. An anti migrant protestor and Dad of 2, Del Somerville has been locked up for 2 years for throwing an empty plastic bottle at police. The judge said the sentence was to act as a deterrant. If that isnt making someone a political prisoner than what is?

Soon people will stop protesting altogether because they're too afraid of being sent to prison. Labour are utterly loathesome and corrupt. They are actively destroying this country and will throw the full force of the law on anyone who doesn't like it.

No wonder they're emptying prisons of murderers and rapists - they're making room for protesters and anyone writes the wrong thing on twitter.

The Burnham fan club really are hunting down Lucky's posts and reporting them!

SapphireCasino · Yesterday 17:34

I’ve tried to query this with MN but now I have no access to the email address in question!

That’s obviously my issue, not theirs.

Perhaps it was a mistake. MN have posted a link to this thread on the Site Stuff thread started by LHF.
Eastern has also c&p'd it over there.

Does someone else want to report it so that they’re aware?

@LuckyHazelFox has a message been posted by MNHQ on the threads where you were harassed? Those are the threads that need it, surely.

I can't understand why MNHQ message was posted here when it should have been posted on site stuff. I guess that anyone can read on here though will have seen it.

All very iffy because the reply should have been posted on my opened thread on SS.

Andy B arriving the Labour Party Conference. He’s talking about ‘hope ‘ He’s so mediocre. Im beyond despair that he’s our PM. If he represents hope. We’ve got nothing

He is as lightweight as Starmer, only a slightly upgraded version.

Hope is all he can cling on to. Talk about scraping the barrel

It isn't about sticking up for him, it's about ensuring consistency. He's a twat and goes about things the wrong way but this case is going to be very interesting to see how it unfolds.

Katie Hopkins popped up on my Instagram today. A very serious piece. Made me think. Worth a listen. She talks about Tommo and the ministry of truth Burnham is creating. The courts, punishments, prison time it's chilling.

I can't read this so if anyone can archive please do.

Andy Burnham’s Ministry of Truth

Yesterday, in America, Andy Burnham announced a new policy which has already been met with concern within the US government. Our PM promised to ‘stem’ the ‘poisonous tide’ of ‘industrial-scale assault by hostile actors on the information environment in...

Justice is supposed to be ‘without fear or favour’
This is about favouring those who come to country and create vile acts of violence And vfearing those who try to shine a light on the criminality.
He is being made an example of to view others into accepting the ruin that the city is really descending into.

His punishment is to be a deterrent to others I truly believe.

boyleslaw · Yesterday 18:42

Healy has no money and Burnham is way out is his depth ( he’s never worked in the private sector but if he had, I would have Andy as a mid- level building society manager, likeable, but without much to offer, no ideas but hoping to get by because no one else has stood up) They are trying to muddle through using ‘positive vibes and good vibrations’ They obviously ‘hope’ we will be taken in by the paper-thin message that it will all be ok if we just believe in Andy. Absolute joke.

You wouldn't believe what I've just received by email. I wasn't going to take the online bullying further but I've had it. There is a very inconsistent approach to moderating so I've taken this to site stuff.

Unfortunately there's only volunteers on at the weekend so you'll have to wait until next week for any response I think.

I had a stalker a few years ago. I ignored it and eventually they went away. I think it was because I discussed Welsh politics and they were Welsh too. A bit silly because most people who live in Wales talk Welsh politics. I'm sure it's the same with Scotland and Ireland.

oh dear, hope you’re all right

Please could posters report the strangeness of MNHQ linking to this thread?

I’m really sorry but I can’t get into the email linked to MN. I reported it and they might well have replied because IME they are v good with reports, but I can’t see it.

it would be great if the link to this thread could be removed from @LuckyHazelFox thread on site stuff.

Becky isn’t a volunteer I think?
