Courting the far right is wrong....

...if you follow that with a ‘but’ to justify Posie Parker’s courting of the far right, then you are a fascist.

I said I would only post one thing on this board. I kept that promise.

But this is the pits right here. Posie Parker is seeking funding and making deals with white supremacist, crypto fascists, misogynists, homophobes and racists. How does this not show you what your movement is and has always been?

You need to look at yourselves. If your response is anything other than total rejection of posie Parker and all the groups she is involving herself with, then you are just as bad. If you think that trans people/‘trans activists’ are worse than Tommy Robinson, ultra trump supporters and others who spew far right views then you are a racist, sexist, homophobic nightmare. Those labels equally describe what a person is as well as what a person does.

“But what about TRA’s?” Some of you will want to scream at me.

You don’t see Paris Lees going off to get funding from literal fascists. Hell, Caitlin Jenner votes for trump and the global trans community has never and will never forgive her. And either way, none of what “they” do will magically make it okay to go suck up to people that think gay people should be sterilised or that Muslim’s are evil.

Transphobia is revolting. It’s wrong, and it comes as no surprise to hear that transphobia (which most of you peddle right here) will eventually push people towards other kinds of hate.

Take a long hard look at yourselves. I’m a transgender woman, a mum, and I hope at least some of you are seriously thinking about what kind of person you want to be.

Taste some, if it taste exactly like you imagine the stuff consumed in the ww1 trenches to taste, then it's the same.
Camp Coffee is very sweet with a slightly "already gone off" taste, it kicks the back of your throat when you swallow it and makes your boots really shiny if you throw it back up.

I don’t think I can stand with people who like banana or hot milk or weetabix especially not together! Lang is a great poster but we all most have some hard lines! Wink

As we’ve circled right back around to camp coffee (is this what circling the wagons looks like these days?), I feel I can interject to say I’ve put a SodaStream in my Amazon basket and it’s all the fault of this thread :)

Interestingly, this thread reads quite well backwards, as I’ve been flicking backwards trying to follow what’s been happening since I last posted. I suspect it might read better backwards than forwards, due to some of the um, interesting arguments and assertions put forwards by a vocal minority Wink

You didn't know it was a drink a few posts back. You certainly research quickly

I think that's more of a "does that puddle in the kitchen that's making me look suspiciously at the dog count as a drink" thing.

Pfft. I remain undaunted.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 27/01/2019 12:20

SodaStream
I love Sodastream, we could never afford one, but I had a friend with one "cola coloured carbonated water cartridges" and when they run out, fizzy milk....
At least until the cartridges run out then it's useless.

Hi Early. Can you answer this one please.

In response to your quote:

I will never believe that a woman whom has been directly campaigning for the further oppression of woman’s rights, is joining the cause for the good of woman.

I asked: What about when the policy is only aborting females?

Which women are you standing up for then? The ones who are pregnant or the ones who never get a chance to grow up and be women?

Danaquestionseverything · 27/01/2019 12:22

On a serious note I personally was not happy with the Soda stream. We had one when the kids were little and it was misplaced (probably thrown out in a cleaning frenzy). We decided to get a new one and it really doesn’t function as well. Needs a lot more pumps to aerate well.

My mum made a fab coffee cake using Camp coffee, as per this Stork recipe (ca.1978) I guess she treated it as 'coffee essence'

It’s a true offence I& I am upset

Are you talking about banana curry pizza? Because I’m upset about that too. It’s cultural appropriation. What’s the hurty feelings hotline number again?

Oh now I’m torn, I too want a SodaStream to fill that childhood longing of our family not being able to afford one, but I do want one that actually works! Perhaps that’s why they are on sale.

(But hey look, what a good exemplar of women having diffferent views and opinions, and yet still coming together over one common idea, such as, um, SodaStream... or something just as minor and trivial like the rights of womanhood).

Vixxxy · 27/01/2019 12:40

You should care because if you want to be heard, you need people to want to listen.
I am sure you are very concerned about us not being listened to and being written off as bigots (though lets be honest, it takes as little as saying people with penises are men these days) and thanks for the concern. As it happens, people with views that go against TRAs will be declared bigots anyway, and there seems to be a lot more people peaking than going the otherway. Infact, I have only ever seen one person claim to have been 'fully GC' but then apparently switched their entire view because one or two feminists were not all that nice on a thread. The shame!

I think the offense is taken at my, in no way controversial, marmite comment. Grin

Vixxxy · 27/01/2019 12:41

TRAs *Especially Harrop Grin )are shit scared of Posie..its hilarious really. Seem to spend a lot of time trying to get everyone else to denounce her, even though she probably wouldn't care anyway and would still keep dong her thing.

Dragon3 · 27/01/2019 12:41

Sad to join Dana in reporting that our modern SodaStream is v disappointing. It leaks and uses tons of gas. But is just as fun as in the 80s Grin

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/01/2019 12:48

FlyingOink, Camp is worse than Bird's by a looooong country mile.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 27/01/2019 12:52

It's a shame to hear the historical Sodastream revival of 2018 was played by poor machines.
PepsiCo now own the company, I suspect they are to blame. Too much home manufactoring of slightly fizzy style cola water drinks could put them out of business.

Danaquestionseverything · 27/01/2019 12:54

Ah that’s interesting Captain. Definitely explains a lot.

Freespeecher · 27/01/2019 12:56

When I were a lad it wasn't a Sodastream that was my dream Christmas gift, it was a Mr Frosty.

Had I got one I'd probably have gone off the half-melted lolly ices after about two seconds but the fact I didn't means that, even now, I'm prone to the occasional pang of regret for my Frosty-free yuletides.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 27/01/2019 12:59

My sister had one, it was not easy to use:
Pop the ice under his hat
Turn the handle ju........
SNAP!!!!!!
THE ICE WAS TOO HARD FOR THE PLASTIC CIRULAR BLADS TO TAKE!
