Random Man seems rather random.

Checking his twitter he wasn't bothered about any LGBT politics until a few weeks ago when he started retweeting IW.

His Linkedin shows he has only modest legal qualifications, he has hardly worked in 7 years and his time at CPS was spent dealing with fraud and economic crime.

Thank you for sharing the whole tweet by JKR, @ArabellaScott What a superb piece of writing ❤️

@Ereshkigalangcleg thank you for the article. Is that also around the time the TRAs tried to stop Bird's Eye advertising fish fingers on MN? I have a vague memory of this and it peaked me! It certainly inspired me to dig a lot more anyway, as it sounded so bizarre.

There was something to do with Flora as well wasn't there? Not sure the timeline though.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 01/04/2024 20:46

The article also speaks in, if not positive, then at least neutral terms in regards to the intern who revealed several posters' IP addresses!

There were about 3 or 4 lazy by the numbers articles that came out at about the same time. Also featuring the intern. Bemoaning that we weren't discussing prams or which of Ant and Dec we fancy (not a joke).

Oh yeah, Flora @Waitwhat23. I forgot about all this.

Ooh I think you may have committed a hate crime in assuming the “gender” of the person on the telephones…

I'm just demonstrating where the term "the monitors" comes from @Cazpar. As some people don't know. I didn't write the article.

I didn't write the article.

Eve Livingston writes for the Guardian and seems to be based in Scotland. I wonder if she’ll write a column on hashtagarrestme given the local connection?

Spartacus was 2016. It’s crazy it’s been going on for so long.

I'm waiting for Moles' album cover design.

Random man seems to think he has been really smart in identifying that JKR has posted for maximum impact. Doe he think the rest of the world thought it was random coincidence? Heed his warning for he is VERY CLEVER.
Personally the first thing I did online today was check what JK had tweeted on the topic (and I'm not even on Twitter/X).

I'm a bit confused as I have been listening to both BBC News and LBC news on a trip down South.
A couple of news reports, which I'm pretty sure were BBC, said that the hate crime law included sex as a category.
But BBC news online reports excludes sex as a category, and other reports explain that that's 'coming soon'.
Anyone got a clip from BBC News which includes 'sex' as a category included in the new Hate Crime Act?

I also heard BBC news report that 'sex' was included. It was on Radio 4 PM

There's over 1.9 thousand comments under the Times article and over 6,000 on the Telegraph - both increasing rapidly
All six of us have been incredibly busy today.

Let me massage your poor fingers.

<gasp>

So many blisters . . .

Ohyoudodoyou · 01/04/2024 21:02

See JKR's
Humour there, that's my sense of humour!
That's also the post of a woman who knows that a massively high percentage of right thinking Folx (see what I did there?) are on her side and prepared to do our own fighting because of the light she's shed on this issues.
I went to an event last week the fucking toilets are gender neutral now and there were men at that event who I know to have a dubious past. I do NOT want them sitting in the cubicle next to me or my daughters.

No, the mushroom farmers. Although I am trying to work out if the mushrooms are for big family meals or for baked goods or for fry ups.

Flowers to everyone who has suffered at the hands of creepy perverts, convicted or otherwise.
❤ to JKR.

Has it reached cocktail hour wherever she is on holiday? 😄

Although the punk band reference has reminded me what a great series We Are Lady Parts was.

Massage them fingers - police Scotland reported to themselves

Fuck knows, these days my Twitter only gives me fun science things, Gender Critical posters and cat videos!

Motorina · 01/04/2024 21:15

Ipswich - sportsball. A non-women's team playing, dunno, another non-women's team.

Gene Wilder - no idea

littlbrowndog · 01/04/2024 21:16

Seems so. It is on their Facebook
