Jolyon jumps the shark - is trans a cult?

Jolyon 'fox killer' Maugham has been on one for 6 days straight now. It all started with Streeting's PBs ban and ratcheted up when JoMo sent Streeting a list of 25 questions which Streeting ignored - and on a Sunday too. As of yesterday JoMo, a KC (though Guido Fawkes reported his licence expired in May), was encouraging people to break the law by accessing banned PB drugs from abroad. As of today he has well and truly jumped the shark with the below, horrible post on X.

My question to this board is why do TRAs feel the need to ratchet up the emotional temperature of the debate so high? Why do they so quickly devolve the conversation to death and suicide? It's an ugly strain that runs right through all TRA talking points. I personally think TRA is an eschatological cult and the focus on death is a intrinsic part of that. Others may think it's all about emotional blackmail.

Either way, please use this thread to discuss JoMo, Streeting's unaccounably cruel ignoring of him, and TRA emotional hysteria / threats in general at this crucial time just after the PB ban was announced.

EDIT - could not upload the screenshot of JoMo's post but it reads as follows:

"And don't underestimate the political tail of Wes Streeting's decision. His colleagues will slowly be coming to terms with him locking them into a future of bereaved parents tipping ashes outside Number 10 and a revival of mass die-ins wherever they go."

Jolyon has flounced off X now. He's going for a fortnight in the wilderness.

JoMo has lost his MoJo? Grin

So what I would really, really like to know is about the TwiX screenshot of the fawning letter that Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g posted up thread.

Which one of you was it?

I really want to know who this is too. How "major" is the "major figure"? Princess of Wales? Gareth Southgate? Adele?

I'm less than two years on MN forums, but remember when the thread title's final word, even with a question mark, resulted in instant deletion. There is much more free discussion now. Even the place some of us got expelled is less doctrinaire than it was. It is interesting watching history spool by.

I hope the openness will help save some non-conforming people, particularly very young people, from physical damage.

Agreed, I was just a reader of the forum and I can see the change.

I was trying to work out how Diana would have contacted him from beyond the grave, but then I remembered there's another one now Grin

Still, wouldn't put it past Joly to claim his work is so important that Gandhi et al have been in touch to praise his selfless efforts for the downtrodden and oppressed.

A few more weeks and he’ll come back thinking he’s the Messiah…

It's H from Steps isn't it?

He already does think he is, he'll be attempting to walk on water soon enough.

I believe this is appropriate 😁

So 8 letters (probably), ends in 'o'?

There are two words, as far as I can tell (unless it's one very long word split over two lines). And as it says "I observe your campaigns from blank blank" that suggests it's a well-known address. Like Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle or the White House. So assuming that is an o at the end we just have to think of an address that ends in o.

Other possibility is it's the name of a town or country, eg "I observe your campaigns from Santa Monica" or "I observe your campaigns from Bognor Regis".

That man desperately needs to spend some time off the internet.

Who needs the Cass report when they have their own truths.

If it is, I'd be redacting, too. Their approval is the last thing you need in the battle for hearts and minds.

Hearts, anyway. Minds are a lost cause.

O M G I've only just read the 'message of support'. . . one of the most amazing pieces of real time public justice advocacy I have seen in recent time . . .

I can't

Just looked up Montecito and its list of notable residents. Could explain why JM has gone SPARE over this issue ...

RoyalCorgi · 21/07/2024 19:51

I know, Dean. I'm going to be laughing at the "real time public justice advocacy," "I feel humbled" and "makes your leadership all the more exceptional" for months to come.

Also, much appreciation to Critical for "Gents toilets, Waterloo" and "Park Bench, Westward Ho" as well as the others.

Oh god, yes! Harry and Meghan! That's it! Meghan Markle is Jolyon's secret admirer!

Totally plausible.
