There are rumours circulating on Twitter that Carly-May Kavanagh (the one who screams at babies: Daily Mail) has, despite her “apology” been suspended from the Labour Party. Presumably such a suspension would have an impact on her job as Lloyd Russell-Moyle‘s head of policy?

Apparently if she is suspended it [probably] won’t be made public. Given the reason for her [potential] suspension; if Labour actually do take action, you’d think they’d want to reassure people that they expect their members to uphold certain standards. I mean, “not screaming abuse at infants” is less upholding a standard than it is failing to trip over pebbles of basic decency…

Clearly one cannot put too much weight into Random Person Says Unevidenced Thing. However, it would be a foolish rumour to start without cause, so I thought it was worth starting a thread here to see if there are developments to follow.

Should Kavanagh face consequences for her behaviour it will be a watershed moment: Labour acknowledging women have rights all their own, including the rights to assemble & to speak on issues of concern to them, such as their need for single sex provisions.

If he did hit her, he obviously shouldn't have done so. As I say, she needs to make a police report. As it was a while ago, nothing seems to have come of this so maybe she decided not to or there was no corroborating evidence. There were plenty of potential witnesses though.

I can confidently say that no regular MN poster has or would condone a male punching a female in such an attack on this thread.

Agree.

Nor would we blame women for the violence actions of men.

SapphosRock · 27/09/2022 11:53

Well at least that's something we can agree on.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 27/09/2022 11:53

Yes, this too. Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel etc are also frequently blamed for male violence to both males and other women. All feminists critical of gender identity ideology are.

Woohoo! We have a consensus! Thank you, ploppy trolls. 😊

we could probably all do with a bit of Gin and 🍰 to celebrate!

I'm in

Maybe we shouldn't type anything else...keep the concensus might be the only chance we get

SapphosRock · 27/09/2022 13:26

I'm happy to take my Cake and Gin and scarper.

Cheers everyone!

A good old fashioned Plopper shoving their gender unspecific oar in really is a remarkably affective method of getting the FWR wimms band back together!

TastefulRainbowUnicorn · 27/09/2022 14:03

This reminds me of when a TRA tried to steal Maria McLachlan's camera and a few pictures were made to look like she had been the aggressor when she resisted them taking it from her.

I was reminded of "HE'S GOT A WEAPON!" when some TRAs broke a man's sign and left him holding the stick it was attached to. They were, at best, indifferent to the prospect of getting him killed. Lying and self-victimising are consistent tactics, they seem to have dehumanised their enemies to such an extent that anything is justifiable.

TastefulRainbowUnicorn · 27/09/2022 14:07

But yes, obviously men shouldn't hit women. I agree with this consensus. Yay!

(and in the interests of doing him justice there is no reason to believe he did.)

In Brighton there’s a TRA
Her name is Carly-May
Her smoke bombs are wild
She will shout at your child
And fascism isn’t okay

TheClogLady · 27/09/2022 15:16

Careful with the limericks Saph, if you say it three times in a row PC Gul will appear behind you to ‘check your thinking’ !

SapphosRock · 27/09/2022 15:37

PC Gul?!

Sorry everyone I just thought I'd make a weird thread a bit weirder.

PC Gul?!

In Harry’ Millers words…
“PC Gul described it as a limerick. It wasn’t but that is beside the point. My retweeting of a gender critical verse had apparently so enraged someone from ‘down South’ that they felt it their civil duty to act as Offended-in-Chief on behalf of my employees ‘up North.’ Not that anyone from my firm of around 90 staff had complained, of course, but again… that’s beside the point. PC Gul rang my work, spoke to my MD, then spent 32 minutes lecturing me on hurt feelings and in-vitro body parts accidentally growing from a lady brain as I sat with my shopping at Tesco. Sarcasm, satire and talk of synthetic breasts was sufficient to prompt the most urgent of police intervention. That PC Gul didn’t appear in Tesco car park with his blues and twos blaring, I suppose, is a small mercy.

‘Were any of the tweets criminal?’ I ask.

‘No,’ says PC Gul.

‘Then why are you ringing me?’

‘I need to check your thinking,’ says PC Gul.

I point out that 1984 is a dystopian novel and not a how-to manual but the reference is lost on PC Gul. He’s been on a course. Just not a very literary one.

The following week, the assistant chief constable threw the full weight of his bulging ACPO lapel behind his constable, sternly warning about escalation and proportionate action whilst publicly labelling me a transphobe. Just in case I hadn’t got the message (I had – I ignored it) Inspector Wilson called, urging me to disengage with public political debate. I reminded him of my Article 10 Rights. His response was, ‘If you don’t like it, sue.’

Of course, Harry won the resulting legal cases.

SapphosRock · 27/09/2022 16:25

Oh wow true story.

PC Gul can't be his real name?

Pee Seagull.

SapphosRock · 27/09/2022 16:25

Or her name. That was sexist of me.

I didn't think it was illegal to be right wing? Is it illegal to be far right? I don't understand the vitriol. Far lefters are surely just as 'dangerous' as far righters?

How about another thread in politics about which is more dangerous, fascism or Marxism? I think we've exhausted the far right convo on this one.

We’re accidentally having that conversation over in the current Sarah Ditum thread.
