I hadn't seen anything about this on X/Twitter previously, but apparently some activists have been putting pressure on the venue and they've cancelled an upcoming event called Comedy Unleashed because one of the comedians is Graham Linehan. How utterly pathetic. https://twitter.com/UnleashedComedy/status/1691476377793409024?s=20 Seems to be organised by/associated with Andrew Doyle, aka Titania McGrath.

It’s interesting how the Queer Theory activists move around from party to party, trying to get a foothold.

eg both Hein and Challoner.

"Scottish Greens didn’t split from England & Wales Greens until AFTER the Challoner debacle"

That's what you wrote and that is wrong.

They split in 1990.

I would like to thank Janet for poking the nest as it has brought up many interesting names that are slinking off into the dark past. Good to see them all in one place for the newly awakened.

I also think we have a fudging of a word .
It is based on influence.

Janet appears to think SM, youtubers, journalists as "Influencers".
Majority of MN thinks lobbyists, PR gurus, the kingmakers. Totally different sort of people but the fudging of the word is very similar to the fudging of the word woman etc. Funny that 🤔

Anyway, cheers Janet Wine

Indeed. Also children's charities, organisations promoting transgenderism in schools, or giving PSHE advice, men influencing the NHS, men writing children's books about transgenderism, men writing the scouts policy and the girl guides policies.

We can, of course, also take a look at men who want to be children's glitter family or say they are speaking directly to children. Dodgy characters online don't get a pass because they have no official power.

Graham has harassed and threatened women and LGBT people with violence. He has also falsely accused LGBT people of "grooming" and uses slurs against LGBT people such as "nonce", yes it is rather ironic he himself posted images of unclothed children on the internet.

This is not free speech. The man is a violent hater and belongs in prison.

😂😂😂

The two parties were still connected right up until 2022.

Not that it matters much because Aimee Challoner was reportedly a member of Scots Greens anyway!

And only left when it came to the attention of the Lib Dems (and even then AC still retained membership of Global Greens)

I didn't bring the Scottish Green Party into it. The poster who was spouting off about how influential the Green Party is did, without realising that they are two different parties.

Does it not make it worse that both the UK Green Parties have been slow to recognise the actions of a couple of their activists and deal with them appropriately? And, by coincidence, both are fully behind a movement which gets its academic 'authority' from Queer Theory, which aims to 'queer' and blur or remove boundaries.

“There are no fairy tales and princesses here. Little girls are also queer, trans, kinky, deviant, kind, mean, beautiful, ugly, tremendous, and peculiar. Your kids aren’t as straight and narrow as you think they are,” Vaid-Menon wrote.

I don't know who's scripting this bizarre, fantasy court case, but could we please add a Reasonable Person Test where three randos are brought in, shown the Alok quote, and asked, "So, could this person be described as a " nonce"?"

Why are you asking me? The decision to take legal action rests with whoever made the booking.

I'm asking you because you are heavily invested in rehearsing the court case here.

Apart from anything else, nonce is a slang word used broadly.

What is a nonce in British slang?
nonce in British English

(nɒns ) noun. derogatory, prison slang. a rapist or child molester; a sexual offender.
www.collinsdictionary.com › ...
Nonce definition in American English - Collins Dictionary

The acronym N.O.N.C.E stands for 'not on normal courtyard exercise', according to the documentary, and apparently was first coined at the jail in Yorkshire.28 Mar 2022
https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk

Nonce, a slang term chiefly used in Britain for alleged or convicted sex offenders, especially ones involving children

Also used occasionally as a general insult, regardless of the tendencies of the person to whom the word is applied.

a person who perves on little girls and loves to talk and touch them . They also get exited when ever they see a young girl
“Nah g why is rhys such a nonce”
“Honestly he perved on me for 3 months”

Urban dictionary.

So this fantasy court case the venue owner is going to attend will need to ascertain the meaning in use first maybe?
