I have the website named and under preparation.

No political affiliation, no funders, simplicity and determination'.

I got a reply today.
What do we think this will look like?

ArabellaScott · 08/11/2020 09:06

What I'm struck by is the Baroness' depth of knowledge and experience in international politics. It really helps seeing these issues on the context of other historical issues. I'm amazed at her knowledge and awareness of broader global issues and at how she is able to focus on the details and just get on with actions, too. She doesn't bugger about complaining.

I'd like to be that well informed, perceptive, dynamic and indefatigable, and she's kind and polite, too.

I've not really met a.woman like her. Bit stunned.

She is awesome. What she has accomplished as a hearing impaired person and now with vision impairment is inspiring. The fact that she has been working directly for children and women since the 80s, and has been involved in creating international protection for women and children is underestimated by many.

And I love the things she posts outside of this topic. Birds, messages from women and children her efforts have helped, remembering holocaust victims, churches and flowers.

I don't think my first message got through. Tried again via other means and got a very quick reply and warm welcome.

I am very excited and can't wait to hear more.

I emailed again and got a reply within 10 minutes. Grin

Thanks butterer that's lovely. Though I know it will be hard.

She was very accepting of my appalling grammar and punctuation as I whittled off an email while I bf my squirming toddler.

I said a large concern was that anyone could become an RSE "expert" and create resources. And the safeguarding loopholes were massive. She agreed.

Winesalot · 09/11/2020 16:37

I wouldn’t worry Butterer I am sure she has gotten many forms of answers. Mine was a bit confused as to what she was asking for so I through in a lot too.

Have belatedly signed up. Really happy to be involved.

I have tried a couple of times but no reply. Strange! But I guess I can wait until the website comes out and then try through that.

Are you on twitter? Keep an eye out for any announcement. I have not heard anything other than the acknowledgement. I am sure someone will post an update here too.

JaneAustenFanClub · 10/11/2020 17:46

I don’t really use Twitter - only tend to read when it is linked from here or someone I know sends me a link. But yes, will keep an eye out here as am keen to protect women’s sex-based rights.

I want to be the Baroness when I grow up.

So smart and polite while she delivers a killer line.

My impression is that she gives zero fucks, unless she gives a fuck, in which case she unleashes ALL the fucks.

Obviously, she'd never say "fuck" unlike me

NeurotrashWarrior · 10/11/2020 17:54

She's really gunning for the bbc on twitter right now....

She is amazing.

I remember her sternly responding to I think ActionAid after their no such thing as a biological female horseshit, with a couple of lines and then 'Have you been hacked?!' 😂

I don't know why it cracked me up so much, but I hope it made them cringe at how ridiculous they'd been.

She's a gem, always remains classy when responding to people who are being awful to her, too.
