JKR vs Police Scotland?

[IcakethereforeIam]

Tras are trying to get JKR arrested.

https://archive.ph/5TEU4 highland fling yourself over the paywall, cos Scottish!

Thought to give IW a break.

The Hate Crime...crime(?) comes into force on 1st April, according to the article. The SNP has not engaged with any of the organisations who have expressed concerns and no-one knows what, if any, training the Police have been given.

I hope you've knitted it a little jumper.

The nights are still cold.

I can't knit, so I stick Paddington in with it during the night, that bear gives off a large amount of heat in the night. And is on hand to hand feed it marmalade every four hours through the night!

That seems appropriate.

I hope it's that shredless marmalade. I don't like the stuff myself but for an infant it's probably the best option.

That is obviously the reason for having the shredless in the house, nothing to do with me being a marmalade wuss!

The curly pattern on custard creams is of ferns, following the Victorian craze for the things, apparently:

That report upthread from Nordic Times said

'Willoughby, 58, has also decided to file a police report against Rowling for gender discrimination against the presenter, who prefers to be referred to as it/them.'

I thought them was a she / her? Has this changed now?

(sorry for going off thread a bit 😉)

India is grabbing this bit of 'limelight' with both hands and hanging on tight. Pathetic really, to be that desperate for attention 🤷‍♀️

Mumsnet vipers know how to multitask: we can discuss feminism AND biccies at the same time 🤘😬

I remember reading about the permits for crossdressers. Even before Hitler got in, Germany wasn't a great place to be an effeminate gay or a butch lesbian: they had to basically pretend to believe that they were the opposite sex to be able to wear comfortable clothing. Having said that, nowhere in Europe, and I include the UK, was great for gay men then.

It might be healthy, but I refuse to eat food served on a dominatrix's bum paddle.

The Times have just published this

https://archive.ph/bIgr1 you know the drill, the other side of the paywall is that way

Now I'm all for recycling but this article is just rehashing everything we knew a few days ago.

I can only think the Times has been following this thread, seen how badly it had gone astray and published the above to get us back on track.

The spoilsports 😡

Anyhow, it's not clear if it has been recorded as a NCHI. The police don't mention that in their statement. Also unclear when IW made IW's statement. Is IW repeating IWself or is the Times just repeating what was said a few days ago?

I think Marmites are being bred in factories to make mitemites for millennial influencers. They're all over tiktok, probably. Darmites never see their mates, it's all done through artificial insemination. The mitemites are taken away from their Mars very young, so the Marmites will come into season to be bred from again.

That mitemite was very lucky to find a good home with you @Boiledbeetle

Willoughby said. “However, I have asked for this decision to be reviewed, as I have been advised by solicitors it does very clearly meet the required threshold of a hate crime.

Hmmm wonders if IW got half an hour or paid for a full hour?

I'm going to guess JKR is paying more per hour for her legal advice than IW earns in a month, so I'll go with JKR being on the right side of the law on this one.

"I think Marmites are being bred in factories to make mitemites for millennial influencers. They're all over tiktok, probably. Darmites never see their mates, it's all done through artificial insemination. The mitemites are taken away from their Mars very young, so the Marmites will come into season to be bred from again.

Have you been sneaking the sherry every time you've gone into the kitchen?!

I quite like this though, it feels like an offshoot of the haggis catching tales.

Fig rolls. Ugh. They're like custard creams. What's the point?

Why slander Fig Rolls so? Has anyone seen the smelling salts?

I know It's terrible isn't it.

Sinner!

Sinnnnnnner!

I think I have a dodgy batch of smelling salts.

(Resorts to slapping Sinner vigorously.)

Come on! Wake up lad!

@Boiledbeetle "lemon drizzle cake on my list of foods that will be served in hell"
What is wrong with you? You know we can't be friends after this betrayal.

I know it's bad of me but I'm kind of hoping police Scotland do arrest her, she'd wipe the fucking floor with the lot of them and they'd bitterly regret it in the end and I'd love to see that tbh 🤷‍♀️

But But but....It's lemon drizzle cake! Surely you won't let such a horrible disgusting inedible, awful tasting little thing like this come between us!

I can identify as a lemon drizzle cake eater/lover if you like, however for full transparency I will admit I'll be eating cherry Madeira cake whilst the rest of you munch on something that is definitely worse than red velvet cake but as I'll have eaten the evidence within a nano second of cutting the slice you'll be able to pretend it was drizzle.

How about if I buy you a whole lemon drizzle cake to get you to pretend you saw me earrings lemon drizzle cake and not a superior and better tasting slice of cherry Madeira cake?

It will be our little secret!

💜

You're not alone on this. The sunlight it would provide would be huge! Can you imagine the BBC trying to report on it? It would make for entertaining blustering from some sections!

Well.

<hoicks bosom>

That's all right, then.

What is worrying about someone fantasising what JKR "really means" is that it puts stuff out there that she has "said" - even though she hasn't said it at all - and every TRA and detractor will pick this off the internet and use it to shore up the sand foundations of their badly built "argument".

But yes - we can discuss feminism, biccies, and how to raise an orphaned jar of Marmite while providing a lounging area for cats on our laps and wondering whether to order the Suffragette tea cosy knitting pattern, and flipping between threads to participate in researching an important scientific project into Legionnaires Uniforms, all without any difficulty whatsoever.

We are INVINCIBLE.

What the actual EFF!

And this is why I love Mumsnet.

(Order the pattern we are already waiting for photos of the WOMEN WON'T WHEESHT version).

And now I must go hand feed shredless marmalade to the little orphaned mite. (I'm hoping when it grows up it doesn't identify as Vegimite or Bovril as I don't fancy having THAT conversation!)

I'm meeting with the committee of the drizzle cake appreciation society this afternoon. I'll take your offering and see what they say. Before I go, is it proper drizzle or did you smother it with lemon curd like last time?

The mental image of you hoiking your bosoms has made me so jealous! Looking down at my own lack of bosoms and wondering what else I could hoik.

This is why I love Mumsnet too. And I think this is why so many people who believe in gender hate it. Women getting together, finding common ground, supporting one another, getting things done AND having a laugh. This is exactly what people like IW want to be part of, or to destroy because as soon as they join in it vanishes.
Ps Vegemites are mites.
