He asked what my main concerns were. I said my main issue was that i stood with Rosie and felt that Labour, as a party, from the top down, did not offer her enough support. And my main concern was womens safe spaces.

Man said, well, this is local elections and not about that, and that issue is more complicated than you think. What are your concerns, locally?

I said the local council is involved in issues to do with womens safe spaces. Like the womens refuges, the womans changing room at the local pool, etc. All spaces where biological men should not have access and that womens safe spaces was my main concern.

There followed a debate. And his stance is that its not that simple, i am being brainwashed by the right wing media, and that Rosie is in fact, (drumroll please...), mainly being supported by American right wing anti abortion groups.

Arrrrrghhhhhh. So that is where my local labour door knockers are at. Saying Rosies main core of support is American right wing anti abortion groups and i am being fooled by them. Silly, foolish, female me.

@Sazzasez, the previous mp was very right wing, anti abortion and useless as a constituency mp. But my guess he did not get half the trolling and abuse from the left as Rosie does.

@drwitch Quite a lot! I wrote to him fairly frequently, sent letters to the local press about him and reported him to the ICO.

ijclark · 10/03/2023 11:04

@drwitch he was also repeatedly trolled over the fact he caused someone’s death. It was a constant refrain during his time as MP. Arguably he got far worse than Rosie gets.

ijclark · 10/03/2023 11:06

@Ereshkigalangcleg im not sure reading a tweet by the MP is the same as “watching their every move”.

If I were concerned about that, I’d spend more of my time wondering why a load of gender critical “feminists” have been bombarding her with messages because she criticised KJK or the people pondering whether her migraine was in actuality the Labour Party leadership instructing her to keep away from HoC that day. That would seem to me, if you’re a feminist, to be more of a concern than a constituent who reads their MPs tweets.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/03/2023 11:20

Reading a tweet and insinuating that she's lying about having a migraine.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/03/2023 11:21

Assuming she can't have one because you're such an expert on her and know she's never mentioned it before. Sure.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 10/03/2023 11:28

I think we should thank ijclark for his obsessing bumping of this thread as it's a useful reminder to us all of the self sabotaging behaviour of so many labour canvassers. And some very useful responses detailed for when they come knocking on our doors.

HiccupHorrendousHaddock · 10/03/2023 11:34

ijclark does seem to have an obsession with Rosie Duffield. Who disputes whether someone has a migraine, ffs?

Bizarre

ijclark · 10/03/2023 14:50

@Ereshkigalangcleg I think “insinuating she’s lying” is a bit of a stretch. I noticed some people were pointing out that maybe Labour told her to stay away and were suggesting Labour leadership have it in for her. I personally wouldn’t consider it lying if she’s protecting herself, but you do you I guess!

Well done, that's impressive.

The same thing I missed I guess

PopGoesTheProsecco · 10/03/2023 16:19

@ijclark Maybe rephrase your comment so that it doesn't breach the talk guidelines...?

ijclark · 10/03/2023 16:27

@PopGoesTheProsecco i can’t recall which one it was. Was it the one where I said she’s been criticised by radical feminists who exclude the transgender community?

Whatever it was, it was addressed to me because when I clicked on the notification it took me to the deleted post message.

PopGoesTheProsecco · 10/03/2023 17:11

As it appears to be a response to @HiccupHorrendousHaddock maybe not.

ijclark · 10/03/2023 17:14

@HiccupHorrendousHaddock @PopGoesTheProsecco no idea then. I did say about radical feminists who exclude trans people attacking our MP and that post is missing now ¯\(ツ)

Sazzasez · 10/03/2023 17:49

@ijclark are these radical feminists in the room with us now?

MavisMcMinty · 10/03/2023 17:55

We are here but can’t wave “hello” as we’re holding the doors closed, EVILLY EXCLUDING men.

Sorry are you saying you trolled and abused your ex MP?

SinnerBoy · 10/03/2023 18:49

To be honest, if his MP was a cross between Jesus and Gandhi, he'd spend hours daily finding fault with them.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/03/2023 18:53

No radical feminists are excluding "trans people". You mean male trans people.
