Really not interested in SF, no idea who they are and by the sounds of it i dont need to know

I am however interested in reluctants felting

Also curious about exactly who is threatening to remove their advertising from Mumsnet....seems a bit of a strange thing to do as I'm sure advertising here has proved lucrative

Is it just Birds eye? I like Birds eye stuff...well some of it, the children love the waffles

I just that's literal violence to wool. You're blocked.

I think he looks amazing, tbh. I'd go as far as to say fabulous, given the transformation since the days he was in the Pogues.

busyboysmum · 02/05/2018 21:24

I think he had his teeth done on a tv programme. Was well overdue TBH

Please report the threats to Twitter and the police. Take screen shots now for evidence, even if it takes you a day or two to work up to it.

TIMoPLOP · 02/05/2018 21:28

Ah, ok. That's probably why he looks so grumpy all the time - still self-conscious about the teeth.

And this is what logic looks like in Shon's world

Is Shon a writer for a li

AssassinatedBeauty · 02/05/2018 21:33

..a living?

TrippingTheVelvet · 02/05/2018 21:35

Sorry late to the party but if it hasn't already mentioned the Mumsnet Transphobia page seems to be thriving! THIRTY followers and 2 pages because they locked themselves out of one 😂😂😂 I know the emojis aren't MN etiquette but it's just so hilarious. This is why I'm convinced most TRAs are angsty, ragey teenagers -or want to be them-

Assassinated - Shon used to be a lawyer, now seems to be part of the gig economy writing stuff here, youtube video there, stand up comedy there, speech giving here

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 02/05/2018 21:39

Name change

Its quite a subtle one though so you might not recognise me

Trans make up what? 1 or 2% of the population? Mothers (or those responsible for the family shopping) make up what? Let's just say it's a hell of a lot more than 1 or 2% so if anyone were to remove their advertising to avoid being boycotted by a very insignificant but noisy minority then they and their pr team aren't very savvy are they?

Ive never boycotted anyone but it can't be that difficult to do

My freind boycotted our local cafe for a while, but she didn't tell them and she eventually went back so im not sure they noticed

Amalfimamma · 02/05/2018 21:44

I personally have a boycott list as long as my arm and I know it doesn't harm the companies I boycott but I could never bring myself to buy from them.

It doesn't harm them as I am the minority, just like shon and his mates in this case. I'm sure captain Birdseye doesn't really care if people who probably don't do the shopping boycott their goods. It'd be like shon boycotting Tampax.

Useless

busyboysmum · 02/05/2018 21:47

Yeah they would be daft to remove their advertising. It's not like they're the Labour Party going cynically after youth votes for example.

In the real world most people think this is all snowflake nonsense.

Amalfimamma · 02/05/2018 21:48

Rufus it's so nice seeing you again and seeing you've only gotten stronger in the fight Smile

Old school trans? Far far less than that.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 02/05/2018 21:49

Thank you amal

Im a bit perturbed at the moment...working my way up to HULK SMASH

  • I bet you 3000 Tampax that your post, and this will be deleted.

I do hope I'm wrong but I am taking screenshots

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 02/05/2018 21:56

Do you have 3000 tampax assigned Shock

Me too. I refuse to put one penny in the pocket of abusers.

I can't see why it should be shon is probably not one of their regular buyers or users unless we've completely missed some new advances in science

Rufustheyawningreindeer perturbed? I hope with nothing serious. If you need a chat I'm here xx

NotTerfNorCis but it's not old-school that are drawing handbags at dawn all over Twitter though. Its the new fangled kids who demand, presume, and throw tantrums just like they did only a few years ago when their parents said they couldn't go to the school disco . 'Old school translate for the most part on our side and get even more hate and violence from the likes of shon and his mates than the hate they direct at actual women

Thanks Smile

I'm just perturbed about this whole Twitter situation
