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.

I realise the thread's moved on but I have to get the good nightwear in the wash in case. Will the SAS be the same fit Scottish men from the telly? Asking for a friend.

Bad feminist. Bad Terry.

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

I think....maybe...some of us could make a <lowers voice> trebuchet. Pretty please?

Ah, just gone over to the thread that @ArabellaScott started, and see that they're already on to Ben Cooper. Excellent! I'd love to see him question Dawn Butler.

Much as I love Ben Cooper, his specialism's Equality Law isn't it? We'd need a criminal barrister, surely?

We need Ritchie to sort this aaahhht <waves to fellow Eastenders fans>

Whoop! Trebuchet would be even better @INeedAnotherName

I know a cat who’d appreciate a lesson in trebuchet building, I often have to look at its annoyed little face when the other cats in the neighbourhood taunt it for being stuck in the garden.

Sailing overhead in a bid for freedom would be right up its street.

Boiledbeetle · 22/12/2023 16:06

I've got plans somewhere for how to construct a trebuchet. Although would probably be quicker just to Google them.

I have the necessary tools and skills if someone can supply the timber!

What views are we not supposed to have ?

Will we be spending Christmas in the naughty corner ?

Without RTFT I wonder. Can't look on X as I don't have an account anymore.

But.

I can guess.

The usual views women aren't allowed to have, I suppose.

Mind you, that's most things.

Sunbird24 · 22/12/2023 16:15

From reading things on here (I don’t have X either) I believe the specific view that Dawn has a problem with, is the belief that Dawn is an idiot. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh what a surprise (not). It was the topic I thought it was.

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

Does Baileys actually go off? 😮

As they'll have to fly me first class from Australia, I'll stop over in Singapore for duty-free shopping. Who's for a little festive tipple of sherry, ye naughty ladies?

@IcakethereforeIamInnocent MumsMet 😀😃🙂 Break out the Benny Hill theme and catch us if you can!

If Singapore airport does a decent one. I'll pass on the durian omelette crisps, though, thanks all the same.

Apparently after six months you are supposed to get rid of it, but not down the kitchen plug hole as the high fat content blah blah blah.

As if anyone ever has Baileys left in the bottle after 6 months!

Milkandnosugarplease · 22/12/2023 17:34

Have I got time to wrap presents before Dawn has me arrested?

I need to plan

They are, and Singapore Airport has them piled high. I didn't try them.

For clarity, they are not potato crisps with added 'durian omelette' flavour; they are omelette crisps with added durian flavour.

They sound delicious! I'll look out for them on my next trip (assuming I'm not banged up with the rest of MN).

this depends on being able to run very fast with your fingers in your ears while shouting 'lalalalalala!' at the top of your voice.

yeah but you must run like a girl, all girly like in a twirly dress & ribbons in your hair.
