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.

But if genitals are no guide to sex (I'm talking giraffes here) then how does she know they're gay?

It's really not that funny when you look at the hate speech laws proposed for Ireland.

Would a Starmer govt, with a cabinet probably containing Dawn Butler, be far behind?

Actually it is funny. Because there’s no way any law restricting perfectly normal speech could be enforced. Because, well, we’d just laugh at it.

I'm getting so confused now, is this the thread that's descended into giraffe memes or the pie recipe one? They're starting to cross over. 🤣

You lovely mumsnetters - thank to you I'm going to have the cleanest fridge drains in the universe - but first I've got to compose my defence for "having views"

YachtMistress · 21/12/2023 22:18

Not sure of the etiquette....
Please can this thread become a classic.....does this count as a nomination?

Can we make it the 3rd? I have a hair appointment on the 4th and it’ll be months before I can get another one if I miss it

Can I be in solitary confinement for a few days?
Not very well and cba to chat. Can be arsed to eat though so just put my food through the hatch please.
I’d love a padded cell if that can be arranged.

Ortila · 21/12/2023 22:20

Padded cell sounds lush. They model them on NASA mattresses you know. Tim Peake said so. <taps nose>

IcakethereforeIamInnocent · 21/12/2023 22:21

Okay, I know this is going to be controversial but <girds self> isn't a crustless quiche just an omelette?

<wonders how long the Peelers are going to be>

I'm just getting notifications left right and centre and jumping between the two threads and my eyes are starting to boggle as to which conversation it is as they're moving so fast (but my sides are aching from laughing so much).

Time for bed to await the Dawn raids the Met are planning outside their jurisdiction

Sometimes you have to laugh or you'd cry. Where's your Blitz spirit?

I'll start a thread in style and beauty for suitable court attire for our trial en masse

If we each bring one we’ll have loads for swapsies

PelicanPopcorn · 21/12/2023 22:25

Interesting to see just how far and wide Mumsnet is seen as a transphobic forum. Would be great to see mumsnethq reflect that. Is this what they Mumsnet should be known for? Does it reflect Mumsnet values? What's the role and responsibility in transphobic hate crimes?
We all know the abuse female MPs have to deal with online. Now Mumsnet is becoming a source of that too. How depressing
