Lily Madigan and the School Saga

[dillydallyXX]

Lily Madigan has been self-praising again, with more details about how they "sued" their school.

They hired a "team of solicitors", to "advice" Lily and the "principle" gave in on all their "demands".

The truth is slightly different.

Lily arrived at school wearing basically a boob tube. They were sent home because it was against uniform policy. Any girl wearing that for school would have been asked to change or go home. It's clear Lily was looking for a reason to kick things off.

Lily was not "made to wear a man's suit". They were asked to adhere to the school uniform - like any pupil. The girls wear a blazer too and can wear a skirt or trousers; many girls choose to wear trousers and the blazer.

Lily organised a petition. It was an ONLINE petition, quite different to a paper one. The support Lily claimed she had is very difficult to prove.

The school's staff tried very hard to placate Lily. They had meetings with their mother, the pastoral care team, etc - and got nowhere. It apparently caused distress to Lily's younger sister who was at school.

Lily contacted a solicitor in London. Because of the Equality Act the school did have to cater to transgender pupils - and when the school was informed of their obligations they changed their policy in accordance to the Act.

There was no suing of the school. There was no legal action, certainly no "legal battle", as Lily repeatedly claims.

There was no victimisation of Lily. Afterwards, the school said they had tried very hard for Lily and their words and actions had been deliberately twisted.

And now Lily still says that "they won", they "got it all", and that they did all this behind their parents' backs, and then "embarked on a media tour".

Lily's parents knew about it all, right from the day Lily was sent home.

I was under the impression that fsms on planes were a rarity these days. Suggestive of business class to me...such a socialist

Meat eating vegetarians are actually better at vegetarianing than non-meat eating vegetarians.

Deliriumoftheendless thank you! 💜

I was wondering when someone would defend the marginalised vegetarian meat eaters, we are so very misunderstood and keep dying you know!

dillydallyXX Quite right - LM is a shallow posturing narcissist. They're probably reading this thread right now, absolutely delighted at the attention they're getting from all these silly women. (hi Lily!)
So please, let's stop talking about them.

Eh. I can talk about whom I like and don't need policing.

OTOH, if one doesn't like a thread, one is free not to participate in said thread.

Quite right. I will say what I want about who I want. And so should everybody else. Why should we be policed for expressing the views that the overwhelming majority of the country believe to be true.

Madigan is a self publicising, mysoginistic, narcissistic, sociopathic fantasist, who has worked out how to be the centre of attention.
Quite why the Labour party has allowed Madigan and others of the same ilk to run amok, targeting good people such as Jenni Murray and Rosa Freedman to name just two is beyond my comprehension.
It has meant that I am for the first time in my life, not sure that I can vote for the Labour party.
What is also sad, is that 47 years ago I went to the same school which Madigan forced to apologise.
Life was much simpler back then.
Now we have professors, lecturers, teachers at schools and universities worrying about how they are going to address pupils and students, what pronouns to use, wondering whether the same pronoun will be valid on a Friday as it was on the Monday.
What a twisted World we live in.

Does anyone else see any parallels between the way that antisemitism has flourished in labour and how misogyny (via TRAs) has also thrived?

Very much so, Pain. It's one reason why TRAs accusing anyone who says "hang on, only men have a penis" of being a right wing stooge is so fucking offensive

Also, there's the question of testosterone.

Lily's recent tweets have been pretty aggressive: the usual "f*ck off terfs", etc. When Lily faces any form of opposition she is immediately aggressive.

She was retweeting tweets about being asexual. Maybe she is just a very sexually repressed person who stifles any form of sexual experience or release, and has way too much built-up testosterone inside her.

After avoiding any form of paid employment for years, Lily is now saying that she has a job. She says she works in a pub on minimum wage.

Apparently this, and the fact that Lily is trans, means she is by definition working class. This is despite a comfortable middle-class upbringing, attending a good school, regular foreign holidays, etc.

How could we find out whether Lily has actually found a job?

Lily said she monitors Mumsnet - and only last week people were saying why can't she get a job, even one in a bar. And, suddenly, she "has" one.

Grammar pedentry

Low employment does not mean "working class". As a rule, working class people tend to work.

Isn’t working in a pub and such like for a pittance what you do when you’re a student? Certainly was many moons ago when I was at Uni (before the days of PayPal begging).

I recently heard of an employer who was approached by a politics student asking for a ‘minimum wage job’ so that when she left uni and got a proper job she would understand what it was like to be poor... I wonder...

Wasn't there talk of a London meetup?

But we would not want to use a pub which only pays staff minimum wage, would we?

Lily has made reference to being paid before, so I presume she has had employment.

Lily has claimed to be working class by virtue of being trans before. Lily doesn't understand the class system.

And is entirely clueless about what the 'patriarchy' means.

For a student of politics, Lily is in need of extra support, I think.

I’m sure Quentin Crisp (deffo under the stonewall umbrella) would have shrieked in horror at the very thought of being ‘working class’.

He would have had a few choice things to say about all this.

Here’s a good Cripism “The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another.”

Two of the poshest people I knew at university worked at pubs cash in hand.

Does LM really think that one's current employment status is all that determines whether one is working class?

Probably. We're not talking about an individual whose past record would point towards any particular talent for rigid analysis, now, are we?

On a side note: having been raised in an MC family, worked a minimum wage job as a student, re-joined the professional class after graduation and since having worked my way up to a decidedly upper-MC income level with an option to join the lumpenproletariat in old age, should my pension fund be mismanaged: may I now call myself "class-fluid" and are there head-pats to be had?
