To think Labours Lily Madigan is really just trolling?

Young Lily (Woman’s Officer) seems to be going out of their way to rile up and insult women. I can only think either Lily is trolling for laughs or is on a little power trip. I’d love to know what MPs reallty think of their young controversial protege. How far is Labour willing to support Lily?

This is a fully grown adult. I was married at 20, working full time, and somehow managed to NOT get virtual head pats for being "just a kid".

Can we stop with the youth schtick? He's an adult, and has been given a national platform to spout dangerous propaganda.

I blame Justine Greening...Sad

KolintheKaterpillar · 19/02/2018 17:55

Didn't the MP situation arise around this Madigan chap not knowing the difference between 'conversion' and 'conversation'? Brings to mind the paediatricians who were targeted by idiots as paedophiles some years ago.

Bejazzled · 19/02/2018 17:57

I blame Justine Greening.
For?
Appointing LM as Woman's Officer?
For momentum\Labour actively and aggressively supporting and progressing self id ?

Or just for being a Tory 🙄 and therefore a handy deflection to what the thread is about?

AngeloMysterioso · 19/02/2018 17:58

Has “Lily” done anything since being elected to the role of Women’s Officer for wherever it is to promote the interests of actual women?

Lily blocked me and deleted my tweet..

Don't get this Fountain. Someone can block you but they can't delete your tweet. Only you can do that.

FountainOfGerkins · 19/02/2018 18:20

I'm not a great twitter user but I tweeted lily, couldn't access their profile at all and then I logged out and looked at the twitter page again (for lily madigans profile) and my tweet was gone.
Page was still up obviously but everytime I signed in I couldn't access the page. This is the screen I get if I try while signed in and as I said I couldn't find my tweet when I got onto Lily's page. Have I missed something Blush

Lily is apparently a lesbian though @GrimDamnFanjo (although a few days prior to her coming out as lesbian she was asexual),

Lily can also get pregnant and is against all
Woman panels in politics.

If anyone specifically wanted to stop natal women getting into politics, the trojan horse of Trans would be one of the top ways to achieve it.

TRAs and their supporters have successfully confused, distracted and muddied the political waters with 'emotional issues' that are supposedly linked to women/ being women/ women's issues, meanwhile males quietly get on with being in power and making law, and suceed in stopping natal women achieving anything of substance in politics.

And yes, we should be horrified that the Tories will have control of the Equality Act etc after we withdraw from the Human Rights Act after Brexit.

Has she been given a "national platform" though? Surely the only people who have given her a national platform are Twitter, and they'll give one to anyone.

UpstartCrow · 19/02/2018 18:26

Bejazzled Maria Miller and Justine Greening introduced the idea of self ID, and using their position on the women and Equalities committee have re written The Equality Act.
The changes to the Act means that men have the protected characteristic of trans gender from the day they announce their intention to transition. They do not actually have to do anything further to get the legal status of female.

Lovesagin · 19/02/2018 18:28

If it was a woman behaving in this way she'd be hauled over the coals. Wasn't there a young female MP type person who had to resign over racist remarks she had made years previous? Why hasn't l madigan been given the same treatment over their historic rape and pedophilia jokes? Not to mention the very current unprofessional way they publicly communicate, a woman simply would not get away with that.

Butterymuffin · 19/02/2018 18:28

Fountain ah right. It'll still be there, but it won't show on her page, only on yours (if you click on your own name to get to your profile page).

athingthateveryoneneeds · 19/02/2018 18:28

Xulishesthepilot Perhaps that's more accurate, yes, but if I was a twitter-er, I wouldn't have nearly the amount of reach as LM.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 19/02/2018 18:31

I don't understand why they is not being disciplined by the Labour party - surely there are rules about oublically campaigning against your own party?

SusanBunch · 19/02/2018 18:31

Lily can also get pregnant

Wow, no mean feat. How has she managed that?

ALL parties are supporting this at the moment except, I believe, UKIP.

They are all to blame.

anonirat · 19/02/2018 18:34

SIlk Lily and their ilk are all about the "can't beat them? Join them.. and beat them from the inside; legally and openly" attitude to women. Trojan Horses.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 19/02/2018 18:38

Lily's having a go at more than one Labour MP. There's a nasty little pile-on at Jess Phillips under this tweet (not screenshotted).

The irony here is that in attacking Jess for talking about men, Lily & friends are implying that they themselves view transwomen as male. Otherwise surely they wouldn't be taking the tweet so personally.

Awful goady little shit. Surely people are seeing this person for who they really are, a nasty woman hating troll.

NannyOggsKnickers · 19/02/2018 18:45

It is the whole emotional issues thing that is the problem, isn’t it? How long have women spent trying to show the ducking patriarchy that we aren’t hormonal, emotional wrecks that can’t manage responsibility, power and deep thought? Fucking forever.

And now this lot have rolled in and over written that with their ‘lady’ feelz and pushing emotion over science and logic.

Maybe because they are working from the misogynists handbook on how to be a goood woman.

Fucking hell. Mumsnet is proper obsessed with LM. 99.99% of the population don't have the first clue who LM is, but keep drawing her as some sort of bogey man if it makes you feel better.

She will have the square root of fuck all power over any of your lives. Why does it bother you so much?
