There's no need to be snappy.

This thread is dredging up the worst of mumsnet
Bunch of crabbit urchins posting absolute pollocks
I may have to take my trawling elsewhere

I think it's brill.

Plaice marking.

It's krill, not brill 🙄

God, what sort of a lobster have we unleashed?

Waves 👋

Lapping gently at the shore.

Oh god, the fish puns

It's like going back in time...

It's all a bit fishy, don't you think?

The puns are mermazing by the wave! 😁

The tench is overwhelming.

Damn it, I said I wasn't going to get lured in.

<falls on own swordfish>

Shurely shome mist hake.

Oh, my Cod! I've haddock enough of this. I'm trout. I hope Victoria Culf succeeds in her clam.

Didnt want this thread to flounder, with the amount of cod psychology we've been herring there is a lot to carp about. But one cant be koi or oarfish about these things.

@SinnerBoy found an article in the DM which gives a fuller explanation of this from the artist

It appears the person she was speaking to is transitioning her child. Strikes me that cry bully running to social media (where she has undoubtedly amassed a supportive glitter family cheering her on) and to the police would be entirely consistent.

Watford Council, without a hint of self reflection, said

Watford is a place for everyone.

Thanks, cake, that offers useful background.

Strikes me that cry bully running to social media (where she has undoubtedly amassed a supportive glitter family cheering her on) and to the police would be entirely consistent.

I'd certainly agree and say that she was offence mining.

I think I posted it on the wrong thread, didn't I?

Her work is beautiful and skilled.

I was thinking more of Maoist China.

Denouncing and penalising people who don't follow the party line. Creating division within families. It's a familiar and effective little red playbook.

If you create a belief vacuum it allows another one to come in and fill it.

Religion traditionally has been a source of communal support (as well as hierarchical control) so maybe they're trying to eliminate the competition.

I'm liking the stuff I've seen on it. Her work is beautiful and skilled.

I had a look through and thought that my daughter might like one of the wall hangings, but they're a bit out of my price range!
