Taylor who? I'm off to see DGG!

Interesting that Dawn Butler thinks it’s fine for a white male to tell a black female to shut up, because Butler is paid to promote certain views doesn’t agree with her views. I wonder why Butler would think it was ok to highlight Badenoch’s race in this? Has she also told white men (eg Glinner) to shut up?

Did I miss the memo about sexism and racism being acceptable in support of the special religion?

Butler thinks it's OK for a white man to say that a Black woman shouldn't exist because of her support for women's and girl's rights. Not just shut up, but not exist.

Don't be surprised when white men turn on you, Dawn.

That's some incredible giffing @Clabony 🤣

You didn't miss the memo but both sexism and racism are acceptable in support of this new religion, yes.

They also intend screwing up the education system with more skills and less knowledge.

more skills and less knowledge.

Like generals who are still fighting the battles of the previous war.

My local College used to have this up in one of the staffrooms.

We trained hard—but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we were reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising, and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while actually producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralisation.

I've seen that quote, it's supposed to date back to the Romans. I don't know if it does, but I bet they were saying something similar regardless.

He was a writer and author back in Nero's time Icake.
I always think of it when people start on about reorganising.

I really can't bring myself to vote for Ashley Dalton.
Looks like a spoiled vote for me. Lib Dem, Tory or Reform are the alternatives.
I find myself shaking my head while thinking it all over and over.

I'm trying to resign myself to voting Tory, but, viscerally, I don't know if I've got it in me. 'It'll be a new experience' I tell myself. It's helpful that the Labour candidate hasn't replied to my email, although there's time yet. The LDs are lost to the woo regardless of their candidate's personal view, he's likely to win the seat though.

My Tory candidate is a really decent bloke tbh Icake thinking over what you have said. Looking at things from a local level I think he's the better candidate than the woo woman who won't write her woo on her local leaflet .
If I vote for him then she will still get in, but one vote less.
Dither dither dither.

I think we're in the same boat. My MP is (was?) Tory and she wrote me a letter confirming Tory support for single sex spaces, belt and braces constituency MP-type, will never be a high-flyer. Unless she does survive and she might be shadow everything from lack of options. That makes it slightly easier. My 'be kind' sprogs are both voting in their first elections. I'm trying to influence them to vote Green (heh, heh!). Then their votes will be safely wasted. I'm telling them they'll save the Green candidate's deposit, which they might. Feck knows with all these court cases the Greens might need every penny.

👌

I think your Greeness is very public spirited indeed. you deserve an award for your great thinking.
I'm going to go with the local person for local people who actually has done a lot for around here, despite his Party. Dont tell anyone😉

This is true if working in the NHS too 🤷

Starmer has doubled down this morning in his radio 5 interview. He has absolutely no problem with giving away women’s rights.

And also John Swinney has said he wants to bring up the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill with Labour “if” it comes into power.

They’re hoping their mates in Labour will let them pass it with a smile and a wave.

Thread here from Jane who put KS on the spot so effectively on Five Live earlier. And yes, he all but says he counts men with a GRC as women, and cites the existence of the GRA as reason to do so.

I'm asking Keir a question about women's rights on 5 live - how to phrase it? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/feminism/5107115-im-m-asking-kier-a-question-about-womens-rights-on-5-live-how-to-phrase-it

Well, Sarwar thinks Labour will work with the SNP on gender laws.

'Wokey-cokey' 😃 😢

On the money again.

Just brilliant

Love that it’s being picked up by the media

Ostensibly a review of Susanna Rustin's 'Sexed', but uses that to frame a bigger picture and see right through the Labour party.
