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.

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

If so, I’ll bring the turkey. Who’s up for bringing some crackers? It’ll be a squash but I’m sure we can all manage 🤗

Crackers for cheese or christmas crackers? Actually I don't know why I'm asking, obviously both.

The Quichephobia on this thread is actually quite offensive to me, yeah?!

That's cause this site is so frittatanormative.

Will our orange jumpsuits be emblazoned with Radicalized by Mumsnet on the back?

WellOwlBeDamned · 22/12/2023 08:02

And pockets, I mean we’ll need pockets to scatter the soil to keep all the quiche in

As a man, and therefore more important than you, I say shut up harridans.

I thought we abolished that concept (if a “man” exists, then so does a “woman”). Just curious, were you born sexless like Dawn says?

Bartoz · 22/12/2023 08:04

My personal favourite comment on X relating to this has to be
”it’s Mumsnet, not Hairybums net”.

i'm OK for a while, I think. There's only two police officers in Lincolnshire due to cutbacks (just one after six pm), so they'll be too busy with burglaries and assaults and that. Oh, wait…

Will we be able to see Dr Who on Xmas day in the recreation room?
I am also planning to get a blue tattoo.

A blue tattoo of a quiche? Let’s all get one on our forearms in solidarity of the Mumsnet Milllions.

Did she seriously say that? What utter nonsense 😳

Show quote history

She thinks we are born sexless, and then the newborn baby goes on a little conveyor belt, like in a sushi bar, until a midwife 'assigns' it a gender and puts it in a special coloured box. Or something. And the baby grows up in that 'assigned gender' that may or may not match its sex, which it hasn't got, because babies are born without it.

And so that's nice.

StephanieSuperpowers · 22/12/2023 08:20

There's going to be a jailbreak...when those sheets haven't been changed once over Christmas dear god what's going on in this place?

bellinisurge · 21/12/2023 20:52

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

Wtaf?!
I hate the ‘assigned male/female at birth’ phrase. You’re not assigned it, you are it (obviously some babies are born w ambiguous genetalia but we are talking the majority of the population here.
Gender is a social construct so totally different issue.
My eldest identifies as non-binary but is biologically female, not ‘assigned’!

TypicalCoach · 22/12/2023 08:23

Google Dawn Butler expenses, corrupt as she is thick.

NalafromtheLionKing · 22/12/2023 08:33

Ouch, that hurt. How long does a tattoo take to heal? And no quichephobic comments please 🙏

Does anyone else remember when MN was full of random quiches?

I would suggest you get out a bit more @NalafromtheLionKing but your imminent incarceration somewhat scuppers that idea.

Oh and by the way: you’re a transphobe.

Helleofabore · 22/12/2023 08:47

Seriously, since there is only six of us (according to some past poster), it shouldn’t take long to find us all!

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.

Edited

The secret to snappy shortbread is rice flour.

Now I may have to kill you, but not until I’ve tried your shortbread.

Well quite! We need both and it sounds like you’re on the case… perhaps ten dozen of each? Or not enough? Can someone count heads… I’m now thinking a medium turkey crown may not be enough…. 🤔stand aside, I’m off the Sainsbury’s before they bang me up!

I think I’ve seen peak mumsnet.

I see a title thread about mumsnet being reported to the police for having opinions.

Then click to read the last comments and see a full post on how to make crustless quiche… 😂

It really should be in classics… maybe they are waiting for its natural peak when we are all in stir together. Or in porridge. Stirring porridge? I’m hungry…

WellOwlBeDamned · 22/12/2023 09:19

Lots of crossing the border experience but unfortunately since this is an international sting I’m not sure that’ll help and over our border might be worse

Stormount’s pretty big though & empty last I heard - we could hide out there?

I’ve some scatter cushions for landing on if someone can fashion a slingshot out of toilet brushes & old bras to catapult escapes over the Irish sea

ResisterRex · 21/12/2023 20:59

As well as babies being born without a sex, let's not forget the time she said 90% of giraffes were gay.

Wow, did she really say that! Who would vote for someone so delusional 🙄

WickDittington · 22/12/2023 09:22

I have an open bottle of Baileys which may go off if we don’t drink it in the cell.
