Aibu to point out that 'Mumsnet' is currently trending on Twitter/X because a labour MP has (rather comically) reported it to the police?

Dawn Butler has reported Mumsnet as a whole to the police, for talking to each other and Having Views she does not like.
Mumsnet is currently trending on Twitter.
What rebels we are, having views.

Can she be cautioned for wasting police time😉

It's like a real life Benny Hill sketch.

Naughty, naughty women.

Shit.
Are we all going to be in a cell over Xmas?

Lighrbulbmo · 21/12/2023 20:41

How fabulous… I’m also off to look .. brb

DifficultBloodyWoman · 21/12/2023 20:42

My parents would be horrified. They always told me to be careful about who I spent time with. And now I am in a gang!

Do any gang members have a decent recipe for shortbread, please? I don’t think I am getting enough snappy I am not sure if that is the butter cone t or oven temp.

What views are we not supposed to have ?

Will we be spending Christmas in the naughty corner ?

vodkaredbullgirl · 21/12/2023 20:44

Will it get me out of wrapping presents, cooking Xmas lunch and doing all the cleaning and washing up? Because if so, it's probably quite a tempting option particularly if I can have a chat with some of the very intelligent women on here.

Well, you'll probably end up being the one on call in the cells.

Martha Stewart was banged up for a while in the US and I bet her shortbread is OG. I have the lingo and everything.

Do the Met actually have jurisdiction over all the MNers in the whole rest of the world outside London? Seems like a bit of a colonialist assumption for a Labour MP to make. I thought they were pretending to be anti-colonialism this week??

nocoolnamesleft · 21/12/2023 20:50

Who's Dawn Butler?

PuttingDownRoots · 21/12/2023 20:51

Jokes aside... doesn't she think the Police could better spend their time investigating actual hate crime, including homophobia and transphobia, rather than dealing with made up nonsense?

Theinnocenteyeballsinthesky · 21/12/2023 20:51

I identify as innocent!

She's big into her edibles now.
Don't encourage poor @DifficultBloodyWoman to make that sort of shortbread, or we'll be double-jailed. Or something.

Dawn Butler is the genius MP who said babies are born without a sex.
