Craig Potter from Elbow

[Collidascope]

Thank you. I already loved Elbow but they've got a proper special place in my heart now.

Care to elaborate?

He retweeted JK and isn't (yet) backing down

Well I clicked on this with trepidation! I love Elbow, I’d be so disappointed if it had been the other way. Good on Craig Potter

Throw those curtains wide!

Yes!!!

So sane and calm and measured against the frothing rage. Good for him.

Oh he is a nice man, lives near my gran.

That made me smile fuckinghell.

I can only think it must be love...!

Women are so unpopular, and it's become so fashionable to belittle, dismiss and replace us, and to casually give away our handful of hard-won rights, that to hear someone say 'I support women' is very powerful and important - and very much appreciated. Thanks Craig.

He's spoken out about this before. I imagine having lived a long time as an ordinary person before becoming famous helps to ground people in reality a bit.

Most of those who rant that TWAW are either young or insulated from the world by wealth and privilege.

He’s been “out” on twitter for a long time; such a relief to find “well known” people who have a backbone.

I think this is significant & makes the career politicians scary to me

Oh good. I like Elbow.

That’s earned him a follow. I’m assuming he isn’t getting the vile abuse JK is?

The consistently hostile Joss Prior must be reading this thread. Prior has gone straight over to Craig's thread to spit the usual venom at him.

This really is a religion for the 21st century isn't it? The martyrs we must all sanctify, the heretics we must denounce, the unexplainable myths only the monks of the inner sanctum can be permitted to understand, the sacred texts about hormone washes in the womb and the special identity only believers can see. It's all a bit pathetic.

It does my nut in all the little tattle tails that run to Twitter to bitch about women here having thoughts and discussions about things that pertain to us. GTFU

What a sad, sad life Joss must lead. Imagine being that much of a loser.

I find the idea that Prior thinks Prior’s behaviour does anything for Prior’s cause utterly bemusing

I don't thing haranguing and lecturing someone is going to bring them over to your side.

For someone who is banned from hates Mumsnet so much, they do spend a lot of time monitoring the threads.

I'm not seeing much of a difference in gender presentation...

Every time someone says Joss I just think Ackland.

🤷‍♀️

Some people really do our work for us even as they think they're doing the opposite ...

Lols. At least it's nice to see some consistency from our PBP monitors!
