^^ And i understand the person that was on PL this morning was some sort of MP for Brighton which made me doubt whether I read that correctly, but he was definitely for Labour

similarminimer · 12/02/2020 22:06

This? It's a swear box joke, come on.

Here's that MP telling one of his constituents to fuck off. Nothing to do with trans or lgbt, it was about voting in the recent GE.

It does surprise me to see MPs telling people with genuine questions about Labour/politics etc to fuck off. It doesn't seem right.

He did seem full of anger and resentment on Politics Today.

@similarminimer

That’s the one! Though I don’t know how I got Brighton and Leeds mixed up!?

Did you scroll through his other tweets and some of his replies? I have doubts that it was just a joke. Nevertheless, telling customers to “fuck off” and not just saying it but actually writing it down for the world to see it is not the type of behaviour I personally expect from an MP or anyone in a customer facing role without them facing consequences.

TheBewildernessisWeetabix · 12/02/2020 22:26

One of the strangest things to me has always been the assumption on the part of most men and boys that all women and girls should value the opinion of people we do not know from Adam's house cat. I cannot make sense of it.

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 12/02/2020 22:27

@theflushedzebra oh, so I was wrong, apparently the guy on the politics show this morning has done it too! As I said, I’m not a prude or shocked by this sort of language but I don’t expect someone in that sort of position publicly (and not just publicly in the immediate sense, but for the whole world to see, if a person wanted to sought it out) to say that sort of thing and not receive a reprimand.

theflushedzebra · 12/02/2020 22:33

Britney - yeah, I cannot get used to an MP telling constituents to fuck off.

bettybeans · 13/02/2020 00:21

Oh, Sammy’s going to be in for quite the shock when trans identified males in female categories start to pop up in major competitions and the wider public starts to pay attention and push back. It’s one thing asking clubs to wear laces to support LGBT people, it’s quite another to assume that their support extends to trashing fair and reasonable competition. Sport will be the element that illustrates the problems most effectively for a huge number of people.

nettie434 · 13/02/2020 01:46

Alex Sobel tweeted sympathy to Lloyd Russell Moyle who was, he thought, ‘perfectly reasonable‘ to Selina Todd. I have a vague feeling he supported the managed prostitution area in Leeds when he was a councillor but can’t find anything to conform/contradict this impression. However, it was a policy introduced by the Labour council when he was a councillor.

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 13/02/2020 02:58

@Nettie434

And yet the weird thing is, after an (admittedly very quick google search) brought up this from him from 2019:

“Women human rights defenders are on the frontline of achieving positive change around the world. From #MeToo to #TimesUp, women are pushing back against hundreds of years of misogyny and oppression.”

And

“As chair of the all-party parliamentary group on West Papua, I will highlight the role of women human rights defenders in West Papua.”

And

“Similar to men diagnosed with HIV, the women in West Papua experience stigma and ostracism at the community level. However, because women’s position is more precarious to begin with, due to patriarchal values in which women overall are subordinate to male standards of behaviour, they are more likely than men to end up ostracised from their communities. That leads to a complicated management of secrets in order to remain within a supportive family network.”

So I genuinely now don’t know what stance he takes...

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 13/02/2020 03:03

Or whether he just got brought into check...

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 13/02/2020 03:07

^^ starting to think I may have misread it/ misjudged it because I can’t see how someone can go from YANBU to YABVU so hugely in the space of mere months.
Link, if anyone wants to double check. I am very tired and may have misread or quoted the wrong person: hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2019-05-07/debates/3C9476AD-C53B-4067-B576-07D632EE846E/WomenHumanRightsDefenders

BovaryX · 13/02/2020 04:17

Well those screen shots of a Labour MP telling potential voters to f#ck off just before the GE? Great tactics. Not. As for the main topic of this thread, what is it with the total lack of self awareness that someone who went through puberty as a male can't comprehend that their female team mates might conclude they now have an unfair, innate advantage? As for the use of c#nt? It just radiates misogyny.

Lordfrontpaw · 13/02/2020 08:46

Angry aggressive person. Must be quite lonely.

nettie434 · 13/02/2020 08:59

I can’t see how someone can go from YANBU to YABVU so hugely in the space of mere months.

I think it wouldn’t be unusual to hold both those views - at least among a certain type of ‘progressive’ man so it’s an interesting link Britney. Two MPs telling members of the public to f* off. And in neither instance does it seem like a joke Confused. At least Sammy does not hold a public position. Strange choice of epithet though.

Now Sammy is speaking to police and NHS about diversity and inclusion.

Imagine the Q and A sessions.

Female officers who refuse to search males? Cunts.
Female people in custody who don't want to be searched by males? Cunts.
Female patients who want a female HCP? Cunts.
Female patients who want a female-only ward? Cunts.

Tourette’s? Actually sounds like my brother (just the swearing not the bullshit)

Oh, Sammy does want to take a place away from a woman after all.

''Massive day today for me. At pushing 30, i'm having a trial with a ladies national league south football team. Wish me luck!
''

Bit of a McKinnonesque boast there...

I really feel for the 18-year-old girl who'd get so much out of this who will lose her place to a male a decade older who's already had plenty of opportunites

For fucks sake - and all the sycophantic replies

“You’ll smash it” well yes quite literally I would imagine

Sport England’s report on trans inclusion in sport is due out in September. I’m not expecting much....

SunsetBeetch · 28/07/2020 16:24

There's another one in that thread too:

Why is FA "approval" a "faff", I wonder?

And I see people had Russell-Moyle's number back in February. Awful man.

Some people just can’t stand women having anything, can they?

JackiesArmy · 28/07/2020 16:28

This person has a blog called shehasadickbruh (not clicked on it cos, whatever).

I presume there are no girls in Keynsham.

Kit19 · 28/07/2020 16:32

I assume even the smallest most half hearted obstacles placed in the path of sammy path to what sammy wants are a faff

I mean why can’t the fa just guve in your whatever sammy wants eh?

Datun · 28/07/2020 16:42

Yeah, calling Women cunts and then relishing taking over their sport.

If only somebody would tell them that what they write on the Internet is public...

Justhadathought · 28/07/2020 16:57

What is it with people calling each other 'cunts' these days? Is it supposed to be daring or edgy or something? Genuine question.
