I love JHB but she speaks FAR more than her interviewees and it’s so frustrating.

I agree. You could see KJK getting frustrated, clearly wanted to speak but JHB liked hearing her own voice more.

Thanks boiled.

and I recall another with a male "ally" when the cis word was used where she basically said get the hell out of my studio, I'm not going to let you spout that crap.

Here's a link to the interview BreadinCaptivity mentioned. I've never forgotten it. I have watched it several times since it was first broadcast and never tire of it!

For me, too. I love her "okay" at the end - it conveys so much!

Where is Lily Madigan these days? Still with Labour?

I was wondering this too. I couldn't bear to listen to the interviews at the time.

I didn't realise KJK had been campaigning since 2015. I wrote my first letter to my MP in 2014. Amongst my peers, no one knew what I was worried about. Just last week , a male friend said "Oh, the sports thing can't happen, they have rules". He claimed to be shocked when I said it had happened already. Just proves he never listened to my worries!

I love JHB and I don't care who knows it! She gets called a lot of nasty names but it's all misogynist bullshit of the same type that gets thrown at KJK. I'm sick of seeing non-lefty women being monstered.

Totally agree.

The JHB who said that Enoch Powell wasn't a racist and that she didn't see anything in the Rivers of blood speech that he got wrong? That JHB?

Have you got the link to back that up?

Can someone outline the views that might be «repugnant»?

This kind of thing:
"Julia Hartley-Brewer claims women in Westminster ‘accept advances from MPs’ in blazing on-air row

This morning’s Lorraine boiled over into a debate on sexual harassment after Julia Hartley-Brewer claimed that some women send out the ‘wrong signals’."

metro.co.uk/2017/11/01/julia-hartley-brewer-claims-women-in-westminster-accept-advances-from-mps-in-blazing-on-air-row-7044918/

She's a thoroughly unpleasent individual who happens to have landed on the right side on this one issue.

Is that it? Is there more?

I'm not about to tar and feather her for a conversation from over 6 years ago.

I mean I could go in search myself, but as I don't do purity spirals unless there is something this woman had done that is illegal I'm really a meh type of person.

TiedUpWithABlackVelvetBand · 27/03/2023 22:53

@Thedarkestblue - thank you for introducing me to JHB - I had never heard of her before.

And I am sure - as with literally every single other person on the planet - I will disagree with her on some issues.

On this issue, she is speaking the unmitigated truth.

This is where she said it:

https://twitter.com/noirmj/status/775434032750465024?s=61&t=ONvRKaVGQGpQEV6-b6Z5EQ

Here's a screenshot of the link. I don't really see why she said she was not defending Powell but thought the speech was factually ok. I disagree with her on a lot of things, including this tweet, Brexit, climate change and many more but she was one of the first people to argue that trans women should not be in women's prisons.

There were a number of accusations made in respect of LM by people formally close to them. I won't go into any detail but it's not hard to find (google name and accusations).

LM's profile isn't thus quite what it used to be in respect of being a "poster person" for pretty much anything - other than themself.

She does indeed seem to be defending him.

I'd have to go and do an awful lot of reading on a politician and speech that happened before I was born to try to work out where she's coming from and why Tony Blair said what he said. I'll be honest my brain isn't going to take it in tonight!

But thank you for the Twitter link. I'd have never found that!

beastlyslumber · 27/03/2023 23:47

JHB is awesome and I don't need to agree with her every utterance to think so. And i don't go in for offence archaeology.

I have just noticed the tweet seems even older than the earlier link.

So bad thing 6 years ago, bad thing 7 years ago!

7 years ago.....my views on all sorts of things have shifted over 7 years.

I'm going to have to cancel myself.

Goodbye farewell

For the posters who twitch about the far right, what do you think about Heart of Oaks having helped a Rotherham survivor win a huge financial award in the High court today against her rapist? Are they still the irredeemably evil and beyond the pale bad guys?

They're not far right either. They're right wing, not fascists.

mirax · 28/03/2023 00:24

I dont think HoO is far right either but the media and some NGO's delight in describing them as such.

Any women and I mean a real woman not a tanswomen in other words male speaking out against how lanuage is being changed how women and girls are being put in danger and having their safety concerns ignored to suit males so they can have their needs meet I support as they are putting their careers and reputations on the line

Men speaking out not surprisingly are not subjected to the cancelling and violent hatred on sm

no surprise there

SpidersAreShitheads · 28/03/2023 14:20

I very rarely agree with JHB, and I have heard her spout some deeply unpleasant views.

The fact that we're on the same "side" when it comes to gender ideology makes me deeply uncomfortable. I don't agree with her on other issues, and I don't want to be tarred with the same brush as her.

I wish it wasn't far right individuals like JHB who were the ones standing up for women.

As a fairly trivial example, JHB preferred to back suspected rapist, alleged human trafficker, misogynistic Andrew Tate over Greta Thunberg saying "I’d choose Andrew Tate's life every single time over the life of a half-educated, autistic, doom-mongering eco-cultist". Bearing in mind the rest of the sentence is criticism, why has she mentioned Greta's autism? She's using Greta's autism as a slur. JHB is vile.

MarshaBradyo · 28/03/2023 14:30

Brilliant interview.

Just shows the insanity of it all.
