Please please tell me the Spectator, Private Eye, The Times etc were thete to see the pathetic line. And not kicked out like the meeting on Tuesday

Sweary thanks for that account.

God, how depressing. So this is what political debate has crumbled into in the 21st century. An over-indulged just-out-of-adolescent getting what they want by throwing a tantrum and threatening tears, with adults conniving in them being allowed to hide from any accountability for their actions (in this case misogynist tweets and taking on a job for which they were clearly utterly unqualified, yet expecting to face no consequences for those decisions by pleading that they needed a "safe space").

The Tories deciding that they needed to be "kind " as they had been perceived as "the nasty party" is what led us into this mess in the first place

I think there's more to it than that. I think there are people and big money behind it, linked to the Tories.

Oh phew! I don't disagre with Datun! normal service resumed...

tobee · 19/10/2018 15:13

Yes you are very likely right Vicky. But it means if anyone questions in the wider party they can quickly put down the dissent by saying "shhh! Remember! We're not supposed to be The Nasty Party anymore "

Sorry about the pronoun slip there, wasn't thinking about the post and my brain screams he.

LM really is not cut out for politics,. And speaking at such an event, when LM abuses women on a daily basis..is ridiculous really.

Incase the last post is deleted.

It is perfectly understandable to allow one's brain to calculate penis equals he.

There’s a reason the symbol for woman is an arrow pointing diagonally upwards and for a woman is a cross pointing down.

They’re a very crude diagram of our respective reproductibe organs.

spiked online have an interesting article about Lily Madigan today, definitely worth having a read.

Viago · 20/10/2018 17:59

Can you link Under? I've had a look but I can't find anything.

UnderHerEye · 20/10/2018 18:27

Oh, I’ve just gone to copy the link and spotted the date this time- it’s from last November, interestingly it could have been written today (IYSWIM).

Worth a look still I think.
