Courting the far right is wrong.... part two

Previously:
Posie is bad, bad and bad.
Sodastream's are under whelming
We need to be nice for the bigger boys to like us.
Camp Coffee is revolting
Evidence is never presented for why our leader and saviour is bad.
Mr frosty is crap, all agree
TimeLady's mum made a camp Coffee cake back in the day.
Also a coffee kisses recipe is found.
The alt-right are mentioned a lot.
Paul McCartney gets a mention
So does Terry Pratchett's discworld.
Mr Fruity is remembered and discussed.
Nazi's were mention by early.
We were told we "need a common enemy"
(Why we need this is presently unknown.)

And now the exciting conclusion....

I respect Jean's choice not to be involved. I also respect Posie's choice to work with these groups. Simple as that

Can’t be said enough

Didn't slimming world used to have a day of fake meat and a day of real meat...

Or something like that?

Im pretty much in the centre

On some topics im probably slightly right and on others slightly left

I hate feeling that im being made to pick a side and im not gonna do it

captain

No

It didnt

I’m pretty in the centre, I voted interdependent at my last election, if I had to vote blue or red I’d be red everytime though. Tory’s have fucked over woman massively (poor woman mainly)
Trump getting into power made me realise how much a lot of people must hate woman.
The left is too scared of everyone to make any real difference. So it doesn’t leave much choice.

I dread the most the American Christian/right wing types coming into any form of authority or voting potential here. I personally think those types pose far greater threats to woman than the left.

Hmm I must have made it up.

*independant!

Not surprising really 90% of what I say is utter pish.

captain

They had meat days and non meat days

Red and green

As far as I remember

Though you could eat meat substitutes on either of those days I suppose

As little as 90%?

🤣 probably why I gained weight!!

I think we can criticise the UK left, without going full-on Trump

If self ID goes ahead, and in some cases like prisons it’s happening, then that will affect and oppress all women way more than anything else I can think of. Even the change in language and labour allowing transwomen on shortlists etc etc is some of the worst shit that’s ever happened to us. Labour & Lib Dem’s are no better than the Tories, they really aren’t.

I don’t eat fake meat much, most had gluten and that swells my thyroid ( I’m hypothyroid ), but DH & DD love Oumph. I make better burgers and sausages than what you can buy in my ever so humble opinion mince replacements are easy to make. I haven’t eaten meat in 30 years though so probs not a good person to ask

Ive eaten fish

But not meat...

Dh keeps nagging at me to do more lentil dishes

I only just saw the OP of the other thread! Cheeky monkey, trying to make trouble.

I dunno, I'd say it makes you a good person to ask.
Not eating much fake meat however probably doesn't.

Don't ever use quinoa as a substitute for anything. It's revolting.

I think Labour is currently worse on women's rights than the Tories because of self ID.

It's not just about passing a law (which the Tories seem to be pushing into the long grass) but promoting the idea that self identity trumps everything else, in advance of the law.

It makes it impossible to define 'woman' or 'trans' in any objective way.

I can't fight for women's rights if 'woman' no longer has any meaning, and frankly the same applies to trans rights.

"Of course we aren't discriminating against trans people! Look we employ Mark in accounts who doesn't at all identify as a white male and is 100% under the trans umbrella on account of his, um their, nail varnish".

Quinoa isn’t a substitute. It’s just a grain. A very over-priced trendy grain. Rice will never go out of fashion with me. Good old cheap rice.

I think Labour is currently worse on women's rights than the Tories because of self ID.

Agreed. Look at the way they allowed that group to stalk women and collect ‘evidence’ so they could get them kicked out of the party. They’ve kicked women out who won’t go along with TWAW. I find their behaviour really sickening

Oxy - bit of a derail here

Is not eating meat part of treatment for thyroid?
Also what desiccated thyroid do you use and what dosage?

I don’t know really. The Tories have got a bloody ‘rape clause’ in their benefit plans. Woman are being majorly fucked over, any woman who’s been on benefits is likely to think the Tories are fucking over woman massively.
Labours stance on Self-ID is weak, yes, their whole ‘woman’s officer’ cherade was awful, but I still don’t think they’re the worst party for the good of woman. Rich woman, maybe.

Is it?
