I wonder if this person will be subjected to the same treatment as Caroline Farrow?

Let's wait and see!

Currants AND icing? I have never heard of such biscuits. Where can I find them.

And we're the apparent violent ones Confused

Being 'offended' by something - just because it makes you uncomfortable (such as someone's lifestyle or how they look) isn't important.
Protecting women's female only spaces is important.

Eh?

Police have in the past enthusiastically jumped on people with GC views for apparently offending others. So this only works one way clearly? Outright threats of violence not a problem?

And I'm pretty sure this unpleasant man doesn't give a shit about preserving female spaces.

Stop telling other women what they should and shouldn't be concerned about. This is all part of a bigger fight.

And it's telling bluemoon your post is just to tell us off and not to call out the disgusting content of those tweets

The point is, a particular group of awful people appear to have gained protection from the expected consequences of awfulness by saying some magic words.

You must realise there is something wrong if a violent thug is spared prison because of this magical cloak.

I must remember not to click on I’m watching before eating breakfast. Kiwis and plums I could cope with ( far too healthy) but all this biscuit talk is making me starving.

I need to know more about Venetians.

Funny, I don't remember anyone on Mumsnet issuing violent threats, or anyone in the GC movement being charged in court with menacing people with a hammer in supermarkets.

A Paddington Hard Stare can probably give the recipient a minor migraine though

I can just about manage a custard cream with a cup of tea, but four...dry! Unless he had a brew off screen, in which case he stole Miss Hoolie's mug ☹️

Plain malted milk are the worst biscuit. I wouldn't even inflict them on a trans activist.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 09/06/2023 10:37

I say, steady on

I’ve held my peace on the biscuit debate up til now but I really can’t allow malted milks to be maligned. They’re a fine dipping biscuit and when topped with milk chocolate are definitely in my top 5

IcakethereforeIam · 09/06/2023 10:45

I was careful to explicitly single out 'plain malted milk' for criticism. I'm not a dipper, more a take a bite then a gobful of tea to chase, so I can't comment on that. I will concede that, with chocolate, malted milk are adequate but not top ten.

AlisonDonut · 09/06/2023 10:46

I know nothing of Balamory. I assumed it was Professor Plum, in the study with his aubergine.

Custard creams. Can't get them here. I'd love one or two, thanks.

Waitwhat23 · 09/06/2023 10:50

Pah! Malted milks? Rich tea? Biscuits with....sultanas? I firmly hold that raisins/currants/sultanas ruin everything they touch. The disappointment of being offered a nice biscuit and realising that instead of lovely chunks of chocolate, it is in fact, raisins (retch). Worse when the purists insist on ruining a lovely carrot cake with the stuff.

The ideal biscuit tin is - Blue Ribbands, Tunnocks Coconut Logs, Mint Viscounts, Breakaways and a wee sneaky Kitkat that someone, somehow overlooked.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 09/06/2023 11:06

DuesToTheDirt
The thing is,

a) These people really show who they are with violent threats
b) Trans allies refuse to condemn such people, or even distance themselves, thereby showing who they are too,

It's not just one or two lunatics, so yes, the trans-activist movement should be under a duty to address their problem of violence and threats.

I'm now at the point where as long as trans people continue to stay silent I'm of the opinion they are part of the problem

That's a lady aubergine, I'll have you know.

Transgender woman is spared six months in jail for threatening man with a claw hammer in Budgens because judge says he does not know whether to send her to a male or female prison.

Might be worth raising a complaint about the judge's conduct, seeing as this idiot of a man is pretending not to know what sex is.

Breakaways. They were always my favourite. Not seen any in donkeys years.

Paddington Hard Stares are literal violence dont ya know

RumNotRun · 09/06/2023 11:23

I like Garibaldi biscuits. Also custard creams, bourbons, rich tea (for dunking), malted milk...oh who am I kidding? I love all the biscuits. #biscuitrights #biscuitloveisreallove

MavisMcMinty · 09/06/2023 11:36

I like Rich Tea, one of the only biscuits I buy. They’re great with cheddar and the very best dunking biscuits.

But most other biscuits are meh, particularly Hobnobs, which are like slightly sugared sawdust.

I make shortbread if I fancy a biscuit.

Just wish I could make my own crisps, I like salt much better than sugar.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 09/06/2023 11:41

Heavens to murgatroyd it’s all coming out now on the biscuit front

uncomfortable truths

Not aiming this at Plum, I just wanted to see if others had the same idea:

The word 'victim' was used in the context of the sentence. ie if they continue with the threats......

In CF's case, victim was written without inverted commas. In the case of the hammer bloke, the word victim was used, in the context of the women threatened by hammer bloke.

It doesn't seem like a coincidence.

Yes, I saw that too.

SinnerBoy · 09/06/2023 12:34

Good, I'm not going dotty, then.

I knew there was a reason I liked you. Biscuit dunkers are the worst! bite then drink. it makes much more sense.

Whew. I am glad you hid that under 'distressing content' or whatever MN's version of a trigger warning is. Luckily, I was able to find a safe space before clicking on that photograph.
