Lily is 19. Lily was instrumental in the hate campaign against Anne Ruzylo which resulted in her standing down.

You have to be a woman to be women’s officer but ‘The Labour councillor said that “lived experience as a woman” should be considered an advantage — but not a prerequisite — for the role of women’s officer.’

Lily could also have gone for the LGBT officer role but they didn’t want that. No, they wanted to show women that they can shit all over them and we will applaud them for doing it.

I’m absolutely furious about this ( as you can probably tell)

i’ve tried to look, but all his tweets are protected. I go in via Google because I’m not on Twitter.

I think this is the one that will get them. If they can’t define the word woman, they can’t make any claims on the back of it.

It's Turfy McTurfFace, Elendon.

Lawncare and what not. ;)

Datun · 29/11/2017 10:34

ok.

Lawncare! I’ve just got it.

busyboysmum · 29/11/2017 10:35

He in lockdown at the moment after what happened last night. I think this might peak trans a few more Labour supporters actually. We do want these men to say what they are really thinking so we can expose how out of order it is to the general public who are completely unaware.

Elendon · 29/11/2017 10:38

Sorry.

nauticant · 29/11/2017 10:39

I expect Tris Osborne will purge his tweets and then reappear on twitter with a highly sanitised account.

Social media deleting, just another form of gaslighting.

Helo5 · 29/11/2017 10:46

If he really believes transwomen are women, then why would he talk about losing? He should be saying “there is no issue, LM is a woman, the position is for a woman.”

The comment about losing more and more every day only makes sense if he agrees that TW are replacing women. That thy are not the same. Women are losing more and more each day, to transwomen.

This was him campaigning to be a candidate for the Kent Police and Crime Commissioner. Pledging, among other things to crack down on the sexual exploitation of children and women suffering domestic violence.

It seems he has form for dissing people in office on the basis that he can do a better job. (His grammar needs a lot of work, though)

I missed off the salient quote, sorry.

My priority will be working with communities and groups across Kent and ensuring that the office is not subject to the ridicule brought upon it by the current incumbent.

So, Liam is now blocking on twitter every woman who refuses to agree that he is (in his words) "a real woman" or who asks him to prove it, or questions challenges his views.

Way to be a women's officer.

MrGHardy · 29/11/2017 12:04

Ironic. One of his tweets was defending ignoring people because they are anonymous. And that he is in the open and fears nothing. I guess he got cold feet.

Datun · 29/11/2017 12:12

Someone asked him how he knew he was a girl. And he said this.

They are not even pretending, any longer.

Datun - I just went onto Twitter so I could post a response on Lily's timeline:

"'The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia."

However, it turns out I've been blocked by Lily. What a monumental twat.

I’ve seen other women say it’s like someone has put their fingers in their ears and gone la, la, la, can’t hear you.

But I’ve never actually seen it demonstrated quite so emphatically.

I really thought that when the trans-bonkers brigade went mainstream it would wake people up.

But it has, and whether they have woken up or not, they still don’t care. If fact they are also doing the fingers in ears dance - with one hand and giving women the V sign with the other.

Am at work at the moment, but will post the Tris Osborne screen shots later

pisacake · 29/11/2017 13:13

Ruth Hunt has come out and said that criticism of Lily is 'divisive fear mongering'. Also suggested Jo Cox Foundation is supporting Lily, though if they are they haven't done so publicly.

MrGHardy · 29/11/2017 13:20

They have now apparently with a list of signatories:

I'm honestly scratching my head, I can't believe it. Reality is indistinguishable from spoof. You couldn't really make up a better fake transperson, from a terf perspective, but they are still falling over themselves to support him.

MillicentFawcett · 29/11/2017 13:36

Would they be selling over themselves to support a 19 year old woman who'd been in politics for 5 minutes? The virtue signalling is nauseating.

Fuck off nu labour.

CertainHalfDesertedStreets · 29/11/2017 14:28

Who are the signatories? Are they councillors? MPs? Or people on the programme?

pisacake · 29/11/2017 14:56

some of them are just random non-entities, some are MPs/councillors

CAAKE · 29/11/2017 14:59

Someone has tweeted in the replies about "pathological altruism" - an excellent term for it.

Elendon · 29/11/2017 15:12

Can I suggest we migrate to this thread?
