Regardless of your personal views, surely we can all agree telling someone "go fuck yourself" on Twitter is really, REALLY not an acceptable way to speak to people?

because the Corbynites are so very woke - and Labour currently hate women?

Sexnotgender · 06/05/2019 18:46

Because they don’t do an actual job?

womanadulthumanfemale · 06/05/2019 18:46

Isn't she on Twitter in an official capacity, though?

I know exactly what this is about and YANBU. It really galls. It really fucking does.

Sexnotgender · 06/05/2019 18:50

I’m not sure they are. Are they not the women’s officer for goldsmith uni student labour or something equally unimportant?

VladmirsPoutine · 06/05/2019 19:00

Yes they aren't exactly Labour chief woman's officer; but surely the early normalisation of such nonsense at the peripheries is how we'd eventually end up with a Labour-wide woman's officer whom was incidentally everything but a natal woman?

If a woman was behaving the way she does then she would have been sacked ages ago.

I’m not sure LM really registers with anyone of any standing in the Labour Party.

They don’t seem to realise/care that this individual is causing members to leave.

Very strange state of affairs.

BuzzPeakWankBobbly · 06/05/2019 19:33

Because they are so irrelevant to everyone but themselves, nobody actually gives a flying fuck what they say?

Hence the impotent rage for attention.

lobsterkiller · 06/05/2019 19:36

Lily has a problem with the crowd funder as it has raised a small fortune in a short space of time, LM then started to desperately peddle theirs.

Personally I think LM really gets off on being offensive and the best thing to do us go grey rock on them.

Cheekyfeckery · 06/05/2019 19:36

The best thing anyone could do is ignore them. They’d combust in the midst of a tantrum.

Unfortunately I think they probably have fawning first year blue haired students fawning at how brave and stunning they are.

Hopefully LM will grow up one day.

I've just googled this. Has she done it again or was it the tweet from last year? Yes she should have been fired but not appropriate for her to be women's officer anyway. Not because she isn't a woman but because she wasn't born biologically a woman and therefore hasn't had the same experiences. I left the Labour party last year and this is partly why. They are not listening.

When Jeremy corbyn was questioned about people who did not agree with transwomen being given roles such as these he said (in essence) he would talk to us to try and help us see the error of our ways but i have never heard him do this. Those of us with questions and concerns are labelled terfs and told to "go fuck yourself"

CalmDownPacino · 06/05/2019 19:44

Not because she isn't a woman

Huh? LM is a male, not a woman.

katiegoestoaldi · 06/05/2019 19:46

I love the comments on the crowdfunder from people who are donating a second time because of LM

janetforpresident · 06/05/2019 19:47

She' a transwoman. This isn't a thread about that, this is a thread about the words she used and whether they are appropriate for someone in the role of women's officer

lobsterkiller · 06/05/2019 19:47

Janetforpresident: Yes LM has done it again, expect the Twitter bio to state not all tweets by me. LM has form for doing this when receiving grief on the platform. Sadly never learns.

TipseyTorvey · 06/05/2019 19:56

I know what this is about (which is usual for me as I'm usually clueless) but this time I'm furious. LM is an unpleasant nasty little online ranter. As long as that person is an official Labour spokesperson I will not be voting for them. Go Maya!!!
