Not quite sure what's happened - seems there were credible threats to women's lives over these protests.

twitter.com/StandingforXX

Now it seems a few women went ahead and met up and were attacked. (Nobody seriously hurt as far as I can tell)

Hoping everyone is safe and well.

It’s so stupid and embarrassing, it almost makes me feel as though @antelopevalley is setting out to discredit WP and co by association.

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 06/11/2022 18:47

Wait…so she didn’t go to boarding school in hong kong

EndlessTea · 06/11/2022 18:47

Nope. A local comprehensive.

ArabellaScott · 06/11/2022 18:50

How old are these posters making all these ridiculous stories up? Who even cares where someone went to school?!

Oooh! Perhaps we have a fifth columnist? Here to make WPUK look stupid?

Maybe Antelope IS Posie in disguise?

Local in the West Country - Wiltshire I think

I’m confused as to why PP going to boarding school is a bad thing anyway. I did. Not because my parents were rich but because my father was in the services. If PP had relatives who could help and others don’t why does that make her a bad person? I know people who’s parents bought them houses whilst mine couldn’t. I don’t resent them for it,

As to all this right wing nonsense, again, why are all these ‘feminist’ slagging her off for having security but not questioning why she actually needed security in the first place, and why no left wing ‘male feminist allies’ were prepared to defend the women speaking.

Was PP supposed to get everyone who turned up to the events for political persuasions? If so, I hope that every other feminist event meets the same criteria.

I know. No one else cares where she went to school, whether it was an expensive boarding school or whatever. What now turns out to be a bizarro lie, was being used as a justification by @antelopevalley for saying <to paraphrase> what a terrible person KJK is, who would be incapable of understanding the plight of the working class and their financial struggles.

antelopevalley · 06/11/2022 19:31

Do not lie about me. I said no such thing.
I simply said she was not an ordinary working-class person as a poster was claiming.

beastlyslumber · 06/11/2022 19:31

Fucking hell. @antelopevalley how embarrassing for you. You must feel so ashamed.

antelopevalley · 06/11/2022 19:32

@beastlyslumber Why should I feel ashamed that someone has lied about what I said?
The shame is not mine.

beastlyslumber · 06/11/2022 19:33

Your lies have caught up with you @antelopevalley How awful.

antelopevalley · 06/11/2022 19:35

Scrolled back. So KJK is reading my comments then?
KJK you said before on social media you went to boarding school paid for by your grandparents. Friends have the screenshots.

beastlyslumber · 06/11/2022 19:36

omg @antelopevalley you have a problem. Nasty.

I took the word of others that you had said the Hong Kong thing rather than going and looking for myself, which was careless and lazy. apologies for misrepresenting you on that point.

She says on the video a comp in Street, Somerset.

Helleofabore · 06/11/2022 19:47

Right. So now we have posters carrying on that men from far right are speaking at these events.

They are open mic events!!

When, fucking when will it get through to people that if a far left woman wanted to speak, they could get up and speak.

I have listened to people who say things I disagree with at these events all the time. So what? They have a voice. They can say what they want as they are free speech events.

KJK stipulates male can speak too
after the women speak. If they support females. But any female could speak.

So, FFS, would you be posting your crap if a far left woman got up and started speaking? Or applauding? And if you are so fucking concerned, and you are female, go to an event and speak! (Just don’t steal the microphone like the last one did)

Honestly, I think the level of critical thinking ability of some people seems significantly limited on certain topics. It is really bizarre that they think they have any superior intelligence or morality at all.

And @antelopevalley, I notice you simply have had no comeback to the fact you joined in with posters in dismissing the violence towards these women speaking. Maybe it is time you realise that others can see how deeply personal this is for you. it is coming off as hatred now.

You have no credibility as a feminist from what we can see on this thread.

@antelopevalley is lying.

Again, receipts please, re the screenshots

god help me, I've just read all of antelope's posts on this thread and confirmed that

  1. she hasn't said anything about hong kong
  2. she's an absolute frothing loon on the subject of KJK

was the hong kong nonsense on another thread?

I believe I read it on the ‘are you a feminist’ thread. Now hidden.

I believe that Antelopevalley said it there. Not this thread.

It is now impossible to check.

Helleofabore · 06/11/2022 19:53

Keep on going Kellie Jay.

you are a force to be reckoned with.

EndlessTea · 06/11/2022 19:53

Antelope has given me 2 wtf! Facepalm moments in one day. You said she told you directly, now you say it was on social media and your friends have screenshots. How weird.

I said <to paraphrase> to indicate it wasn’t a direct quote when I was summarising you argument that made you think her schooling was relevant, when it wasn’t.
