Will post links to AC's public statement and Caroline Lucas's appalling white wash job in a moment, but for me, Andrew Gilligan nails it yet again:

That's how I'm dealing with it at the moment Datun

The saying about breaking eggs and omelettes springs to mind.

How can Aimee still be a member of some other Green parties? How many Green parties are there? Not getting how this works.

RedToothBrush · 03/09/2018 19:55

Not getting how this works.

It doesn't. That's kinda the point.

Crwban · 03/09/2018 20:00

I can't link but a Dr Clare Jones (janeclarejones) has just stated on twitter that they've put Carolyn Lucas on Terf Blocker.

It's all unravelling!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 03/09/2018 20:05

How can Aimee still be a member of some other Green parties?

I guess they could be a member of the Scottish Greens for example? And they have said themselves that they remain on the global greens lgbtqgxosvwcays+++ committee or something

SirVixofVixHall · 03/09/2018 20:08

Aimee has no shame whatsoever. It is horrifying.

AngryAttackKittens · 03/09/2018 20:10

What are these "other" Green Parties?

Given that Lucas thought the TerfBlocker was fine before she's not in much of a position to complain about being put on it herself now.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:12

I'm sorry but ... 😳

And 😯😳😯😳

RedToothBrush · 03/09/2018 20:13

It's not shame they lack. It's an understanding of normal boundaries and an ability to be able to process criticism.

Understanding of what is a normal relationship, what it is to be loved, respected or valued have not formed as they should.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:13

You see.

We told you Terfblocker wasn't good.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:14

RTB

Yes.

That means the current Leader of the Green Party is blocked from viewing the tweets of herds of Green Party people including activists and staff.

Oh yeah, this is going well.

BobHolness · 03/09/2018 20:18

AngryAttackKittens, ItsAllGoingToBeFine & hackmum - you can belong to Green Parties in other countries, although that seems a bit silly if you don't live there some or most of the time.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:20

Personally, I think someone needs to halt the current GP GRA automatic response form.

Crwban · 03/09/2018 20:21

Thanks heresy

BobHolness · 03/09/2018 20:21

ShrodingersSturdyPyjamas And constituents!

I know MPs don't solicit Twitter as a means of "official" correspondence with constituents, but it's still a tool for getting messaging out.

placemats · 03/09/2018 20:22

Understanding of what is a normal relationship, what it is to be loved, respected or valued have not formed as they should.

Sad

It's absolutely horrific.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:22

Schrodinger

Yup.

And I can't help but think it is indicative of a small part of the reason that it could be argued that the GP automated GRA response form lacks credibility.

boldlygoingsomewhere · 03/09/2018 20:24

This is turning farcical now. Unfortunately, I can see Labour going the same way eventually. Even if they try to put the brakes on now, it’s going to cause problems.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:25

LangCleg is not here, so I will repeat her words:

This is what a massive safeguarding fail looks like in real time.

We warned you.

You called us TERFs.

gendercritter · 03/09/2018 20:26

You couldn't make this up.

BobHolness · 03/09/2018 20:30

Many left-leaning members flocked back to their natural home of Labour when Corbyn got in. I imagine some of the ones who still stuck around will now depart in the same direction.

thecatfromjapan · 03/09/2018 20:34

Bob

So, basically you are saying that if Caroline Lucas manages to institute a reign of common sense, the refugees from that will decamp to Labour - their more natural home?

That is way harsh!

RedToothBrush · 03/09/2018 20:34

Just a point, by was Sajid Javid choice of subject today for a Big New Crusade, a pure coincedence or a very deliberate choice of subject?

Tom Newton Dunn @tnewtondunn
@sajidjavid writes for @TheSun on his new battle with tech giants over child sexual abuse: “I am clear that all parts of society must play their part in this battle”;

Why I’m making it my mission to crack down on the evil of paedophiles and those who watch their depraved acts online

Paedophiles are the lowest of the low and hearing about their revolting actions as part of my role sickens me to the core

Note HOW and to WHO the target audience this is pitched at by being in The Sun...

Wakey wakey time for the woke to wake.
