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.

ill offer to be the equipment supplier for each of us.

I heard that! That there is bona fide evidence of being very very naughty.

I'm tempted to start a thread in Style and Beauty about how to make orange suit every complexion.

A massive salad can be made from dandelions, nettles and whatever else is growing near the prison yard.

FORAGER! Drink! 🍷

Oh shit just had the most AWFUL thought.

What are prison regs on gifts for the hosts? Is it a terrible faux pas to turn up for stir (and at Xmas!) without at least a bottle of half decent champagne or a nice Chablis?

Nettles are great in soup, but suboptimal in a salad. And dandelions make you wee. Sorry.

@NalafromtheLionKing and @WearyAuldWumman,
I've just snorted at your posts and luckily didn't spit my wine out over my keyboard.

NalafromtheLionKing · 21/12/2023 21:59

Just thinking outside the box here, but wouldn’t it be cheaper and logistically easier to lock up Dawn for crimes against basic intelligence rather than 119 million Mumsnet users for offending her by using logic and science?

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 21/12/2023 22:00

@Momtotwokids more the merrier!

nothingcomestonothing · 21/12/2023 22:00

What if Dawn gets banged up for wasting police time, and ends up in stir with us? Bagsy not sharing a cell with her

Barbadossunset · 21/12/2023 22:00

That they’re attracted to giraffes who identify as the same gender they do?
How do they know?

I wondered that.

@RumNotRun you had me at plum brandy ! I’ve got several gins and some whiskey to bring.

I have got.......

1L Tanqueray Gin
70cl Kraken Coffee Run
70 cl Jura whisky
70 cl Glen....something or other whisky
3 x 1L bottles of Baileys
1 magnum prosecco
.

Never make nettle beer.

@NalafromtheLionKing, are you having visions of a slightly older and more sozzled group of women than in Bridget Jones when she was in prison?
What shall we sing?

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 21/12/2023 22:01

@NalafromtheLionKing now stop, you are using common sense. There’s nothing PC about common sense, or headline worthy. 🤣

Anyone else disappointed that this is probably not going to happen, as we would have a fucking amazing Xmas together!

Ronnie Barker led me to believe one was supposed to take porridge for a spell doing bird?? or is it take a bird for a spell doing porridge?

I’d imagine Shania Twain’s ‘Man, I feel like a woman’, or Aerosmith’s ‘Dude looks like a lady’ would both be highly problematic.

Like A Virgin of course!

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… 😂

Cocolapew · 21/12/2023 22:05

With suprb timing I've just watched a video of the 10 greatest prison escapes.
Armed with my new found knowledge I'll source a helicopter and if anyone has a very long rope that would be great.
We'll see the NY in in South American.
