@FreezerBird

As an aside while we wait , *@FloralBunting*...

It's not really David and Goliath. It's a bit more like Jael and Sisera.

I've always said that when I'm In Charge, if publishers still insist on producing bibles marketed 'for women' they will, by law, have to have Jael on the cover.

As you were.

My bible knowledge is lacking there.

Every day is a learning day on FWR Grin

off to google............

Ooooh

KenDodd · 24/07/2020 11:34

No clue what this is about.

Pleeease can somebody explain for people who know nothing.

Whennnnnn?

GilderoyLockdown · 24/07/2020 11:37

^The tweet wasn't actually in question, slashlover We've seen it.
Your assertion that those organisations are "anti trans" needs some clarification, though?^

If I were a betting woman, I'd say it'll get exactly the same level of clarification as most of the accusations of transphobia that get made on here.

So if you have read wearefaircop’s tweet, you have as much knowledge as we do. That is why we are developing conspiracy theories to keep us occupied while waiting. If you don’t know Fair Cop’s history, their website is probably a good place to start.

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 11:40

KenDodd, someone has linked the Fair Cop tweet. It is making hints that something significant in the campaign to protect the rights of women and girls is upcoming soon. That's really all there is atm. But people are enjoying having a guess about what it might be, and what they would like to see.

Winesalot · 24/07/2020 11:42

Yes. Perhaps it is not even based on own research and critical thought. Just what has been said by those wanting to shut down discussion and questioning.

highame · 24/07/2020 11:42

Just looking at the stuff on twitter, so more of the Conspiraciitus

Afaircop thought the best tweet so far was the S for Spectre with an octopus being blown up

then a comment from Afaircop "that's a Volvo L150" after pic of big digger and massive pile of rocks

Lastly 'A soon day' so doesn't look like today, or maybe they're making sure we don't all start having panic attacks with the suspense

Winesalot · 24/07/2020 11:45

Is a ‘soon day’ code for ‘Sunday’?

And a digger is good at dismantling grey stone walls that may be blocking discussion allowing equitable solutions to be debated.

Not sure about the octopus though. I liked the running budgie.

Superdrug?
Semichem?
Skittles?

I'm wondering if it's to do with a certain influence within certain police constabularies

Thank you

FloralBunting · 24/07/2020 11:51

Red and beginning with S? I'm going to go left field and suggest it's a foolproof cure for Sunburn. The reason we're having to wait is because this summer is so shit and no one is going outside, so they're not rushing.

cdtaylornats · 24/07/2020 11:52

I thought it was about RT going to be shutdown and the SNP being upset by their funds being cut off.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 24/07/2020 11:53

That awful case of a man with autism being charged after mis-gendering the transman officer should have been enough to make people realise that there is no logic to this stuff.

On tenterhooks.

BoreOfWhabylon · 24/07/2020 11:56

Oh, I do so hope that this will be a massive wheel falling off the bus

Michelleoftheresistance · 24/07/2020 11:59

Wonder if I randomly drop onto threads with any mention of water and state enough times that water is tortoisephobic hate fluid without bothering to explain further, that it'll catch on?

Not sure anyone on MN is that depressingly dim, but you never know.

Datun · 24/07/2020 12:01

I wonder if the government is suddenly realising what a waste of time and money it is for the CPS and every council in the country to start withdrawing all their materials which have been based on Stonewall advice and therefore a misrepresentation of the law.

It's a terrible look and an expensive error.

craftyjan · 24/07/2020 12:02

Superman has a red cape. Just saying.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 24/07/2020 12:07

It's odd that this thread is appearing in "Trending Now".

Usually FWR threads don't, even if they are very busy.
That's why confused people are appearing - they have seen the thread in trending and are not usual readers of the FWR board.

I'm wondering why this thread has got through the usual block to appear on the Trending list. And then I'm wondering why there is a usual block?

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 24/07/2020 12:11

It's a bit more like Jael and Sisera.

If I could produce a 'take a bow' icon then I would. applause
