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

[Disco50]

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.

Following as I need a laugh

Who is this Dawn?

No, do try and keep up.

Of course Men still exist. Nothing's happened to them.
There are Men, and non binary people - and then there's everybody else.
Everybody else includes transmen (sorry guys), transwomen, biological females, possibly some pets, a few giraffes. The "everybody else" group are called women.

Men can of course become women, if they want to. So can all non-binary people everywhere. It's a very inclusive category.

I need an en-suite. Do they serve Earl Grey tea?

If I puncture the gel in my bra and squirt it out I reckon I can stick peanuts in there or a bit of Bombay mix for us.

Will there be a Jacuzzi bath? 😁 Perhaps we could get it on expenses? 🤔

Just adding a link for context https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/expenses-row-whip-dawn-butlers-394805

So is this in the Mail yet? Seems to have all the elements…

@AutumnCrow thanks for the explanation. I'd never heard of this person before 😳. Gosh the world has gone mad.

Like a previous poster, I'm about to watch some old episodes of Call the Midwife while painting the sitting room. I'll think of Dawn when Phyllis announces to the mother "you have a beautiful baby girl/boy". Just bonkers.

Anyone on the MN knitting team so that we can send 'kites' between cells? There is also another form of sending messages, known as 'fishing' but that involves coordinated toilet flushing and appears a little unsanitary.

This all sounds rather good fun and just the holiday that I need, although knowing my luck, I would be the one stuck in the cell with the big burley male sex offender in a wig, who had decided to self identify as Maureen that week.

Bombay Mix sounds rather painful. Could you smuggle in some dried cranberries and sunflower seeds for the porridge topping instead?

Hope we don't end up with a screw like Ferguson in there😱

They won't venture there...winds go right through you , no place for the old

Who is this Dawn?

A comedy character. A sitting Labour MP

I doubt the boys of the NYPD Met Police will be singing Galway Bay.

I can almost top that. An American Congressman once said that we shouldn't expand the US Marine Corps base on Guam as the additional weight would cause the island to tip over as if it were some magical floating rock.

Who is Tom, btw? I’ve missed that.

<wants to tell Tom that snitches get stitches…or maybe a nice bit of embroidery and a stern telling off>

There are hordes of frothing menz on Twitter calling for mumsnet to be shut down for ‘far right hate speech’ lol.
it’s like the Salem witch trials on there.

The irony of Twitter users trying to get Mumsnet shut down for hate speech .

Who is Tom, btw? I’ve missed that.

Some random Twitter misogynist with about 100 followers. Who of course Butler must rush to listen to.

OF COURSE I’M NOT OK I’M SURROUNDED BY TRANSPHOBES!!

Am quite intrigued by the rice flour in shortbread suggestion though.

All this being labelled the far-right for having a reality based perspective on biology must have radically altered the far right demography over the last decade. I bet all those old school Nazis and KKK members can't fucking move from all the mothers with opinions milling around with their quiches and knitting.

Speaking of screws. Cross pollinating this from the other thread:

This post is typical of the misogynistic woke lefty bros who are calling Mumsnet vile and a ‘den of vipers’ for having the temerity for criticising an MP.
interestingly much of the criticism is coming from men who seem threatened by a women’s forum. What a surprise. https://x.com/andrew_b72/status/1737913538977411318?s=46&t=RhHSzVDuiI5GegEY9SveZw

I was actually thinking that we should give a shout out to the Mummy Monitors, those tireless men hanging around to find out what mothers are saying and reporting back to the other lads. I'm enjoying them too.

"I always call it PROSECCO STORMFRONT, you know, because they're women and women like prosecco, and they don't agree with me, so they're like you know, nazis or something like that, only not the type of nazis who want to sterilise children for being gay or autistic, which I don't really understand".

To be fair, MN has always got up the little noses of frothy men, but it's been because MN was the place where women helped other women to escape coercive control, and that included the specific woman that said frothy man was living his best life coercing.

Women saying 'no' to men, I mean where will it end? #theservicehumansarerevolting

Next big issue: can I take my air fryer to Holloway? Because I'm still trying to figure the damn thing out, and no one else in this house will do any cooking if I don't.
