Thank you so much for asking 😂

Hope you enjoy this as much as the rest of us did!

Classic.

@Draigosaurus just saw that story on the BBC news website. I was thinking of starting a thread on it actually, but decided not as it's just "on suspicion" at the moment. But bloody hell.

Not really datun
I really respect your clear head on this topic. But in this case you are wrong. We know what his answer is, he's given it before. He'll answer "adult human female". She then has to go for the 99.9% line, he replies about the GRC and safeguarding in that. Most of the public support the GRC process so she loses her audience at that point. The only people who will follow are the ones who know the ins and outs of the debate, who don't need convincing either way.

She has a vulnerabilities that he can focus on, which are mainly that as a single MP she won't be able to effect change anyway; and to ask if she would support Labour's policy to reduce VAWG if elected.

Jesus christ, why do you Adam Ryan care if posie look like an idiot?

If starmer the cowardly custard, answers the same as previous with adult female ( which was his answer, it's not up for debate) posie asks which species.

If he manages adult human female, the very obvious question is so why tf are men anywhere near single sex women only spaces, and what are you planning to do about it.
If the spineless banana says that never happens, well we have reams of things that never happen, happening.
If the yellow belly says 99% again, well we all know how this goes by now.

Still dont understand why you care, you're (I guess) not voting for her, will not change any of our minds so you are just amplifying? Waiting for posie to look a fool? Do in fact care if posie ends up looking a fool?

LWSnow · 11/02/2024 23:35

@Winnading yes you're right I'd have thought if KJK was going to make a fool of her self Adam and others would be cheering her on.
As it is I think she's going to make a fool of a few politicians, On The Right Side of History tm.
If any one is going to pour sunlight on the demise of Women's Rights, Kelly is the woman for the job.
She's also happy to point out that the Emperor has no clothes.

The former ANC MP Andrew Feinstein is also standing in Holborn on a pro-Palestine platform.

Starmer is not going to be attending any hustings.

IwantToRetire · 12/02/2024 01:53

Starmer is not going to be attending any hustings.

Is that something he has said, or something just assumed because he will be so busy flip flopping that he will never dare to stay in one place long enough to be pinned down to committing or believing in anything.

More and more he is looking like some store front manequin with some sort of not very well programmed AI speech function.

SinnerBoy · 12/02/2024 04:37

If he doesn't attend the hustings, letters to the papers need to be written, asking why he's too frightened to engage with his opponents in a public setting.

NoWordForFluffy · 12/02/2024 07:22

🤣🤣

Best description ever!

He's definitely going to struggle against Pro-Women and Pro-Palestine candidates. This could be interesting. 🍿

Kucinghitam · 12/02/2024 08:23

Ah, it's so refreshing hearing these new tunes. 🎼

Nobody Cares About Genderism, There Are More Important Things.

Only 6 Batty Old Hags Care About Genderism, The Rest Are Socks.

Here Is A REALLY BAD WOMAN Who Is Stupid And Is Completely Pointless.

Nobody Will Listen to Her Speaking So She Is Irrelevant.

But Also Anything She Says Will Make Her Look Stupid So Will Make The GOOD PARTY Look Even More Wonderful And Righteous.

And These Fools Are Wasting Their Money Haha.

And Anybody Who Says They Support Her Are Nasty RIGHT WING Fools Who Were Never Going To Vote For the GOOD PARTY Anyway, So Are Extra Irrelevant.

And Yet Here We Righteous Are, Bumping The Thread Grin

He’ll be debating with the other leaders on national TV so that’s not going to fly.

Really?

I think it will be really interesting when the papers pick up that, yet again, he refuses to speak to women about women's rights.

He keeps insisting it never comes up, only it does, he just doesn't want to talk about it.

Maybe 5 years ago or for an unknown women you might be right, but the papers know who Posie Parker is, it's media gold.

‘Scared of his own shadow’ has already come up

It won’t take much

Exactly

If he skives off the hustings, questions will certainly be asked and his opponents will provide their opinions, none of them favourable.

It's so great to see everyone talking about KJK, she really has a talent for starting conversations.

It's just so nice to be visited by so many fresh usernames who have evidently had their interest in MN FWR piqued by KJK. Who knows, it might be a case of piqued to peaked for some.

Nice post and yes I’m pretty sure there were some adamant they avoided this topic

KJK gets people in and discussing it

Great job

And his response will be that, as leader of his party, his focus has to be on national events. Of course his opponents’ views won’t be favourable, that why they’re all standing against him.

lifeturnsonadime · 12/02/2024 09:17

It's almost as though some of the fiercest Labour supporters on these boards either dgaf about women's rights either or are wishful thinking.

Women's rights are not a niche issue.

Even if the leader of the opposition don't think they (women's rights) are worthy of his time, it's unlikely the papers (in the current climate of this debate) will agree with him.

Or he could just do the right thing and define his terms and set out his plans to protect women, saying that current laws do that is plain rubbish.

PerkingFaintly · 12/02/2024 09:58

Or he could just do the right thing and define his terms and set out his plans to protect women, saying that current laws do that is plain rubbish.

And obviously this applies equally to Sunak and the current Tory government.

This thread is about a new political party, and I think it unwise to forget that there will likely be candidates – of this party or independents – standing on women's rights in Tory seats too.

This persistent concentration solely on opposition parties, while giving the government of the day a free pass, is what has enabled this shit show to develop in the first place.

I get that people have party preferences, and that if yours is Tory or further right then it can be difficult to talk about the negatives of your party's behaviour. I've noticed a lot of women on FWR declare themselves Labour and feel free to criticise their party and try to hold it to the standard they would like to see; while many fewer of the Tory posters do the same.* I've often wished more of the Tories would try to hold their own party to account – not least because, being in government, their party has more power.

(*I think there are a couple of honourable exceptions – declared Tories who do put women before party.)

It would have made things better for all of us.

So I welcome the new political party, and look forward to it contesting as many seats as possible, in many different parts of the country, against different political opponents. As has so often been said, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

One issue the Tories have is they cleared out a lot of moderate MPs due to The Thing That We Do Not Speak Of, and now we are left with the talent vacuum of absolute roasters that we have.

Sadly true.

PerkingFaintly · 12/02/2024 10:03

Johnson gutting the party to ensure loyalty has been terrible, absolutely terrible, for UK politics. I never thought I'd miss those old Tory grandees, but they brought a degree of stability and so very much experience to the House.

EasternStandard · 12/02/2024 10:04

I don’t see much in Labour

They have poor policies, but it looks like they’ll fold one by one anyway due to bad numbers and bad ideas

Fine by me I thought as much ages ago

They are terrible policies

Now this women’s rights stuff left, we’re getting there it all helps

Someone like KJK who gets cut through and makes it simple will help. She gets people talking

So very true. I never, ever thought the day would come when I yearned for Major’s government. The grown ups were in charge then.
