The fetishist TA Sophie Sparkles [Molly] got into a twitter fight with longstanding gender critical Southend Labour Councilor Laurie Burton. When Burton said correctly Sophie was a man and had no right to enter women's spaces Sophie threatened to escalate by reporting him. Now the Southend press has written a biased article about the situation:

Laurie's twitter:

Sparkles previous background revealed by Reduxx, note Sparkles was soon after this article dismissed by the Scottish Greens as a candidate. If the Scottish Greens dismiss you are really are a big problem:

Sparkles was also in attendance at an anti-woman rights protest which resulted in a woman being attacked in Aberdeen.

Interesting development in the run up to the Labour conference

Good job this bloke didn't get elected then isn't it really?

But the scrutiny of Molly’s candidacy has resulted in the resurfacing of one of his social media accounts, where it was found that he engaged in aggressive and disturbing behavior. In addition to sending abuse directly to JK Rowling, including calling her a “torn faced cow,” Molly posted pornographic photos of himself and fetishistic descriptions of his body.

Rowling herself began highlighting the highly unprofessional nature of Molly’s online presence after becoming a target for the candidate over the weekend.

Hope you got the screenshots.

What on earth have the standards for public life got to do with a random Mumsnetter? And if this is to do with the Labour councillor, I failed to see how she breached them. Saying a man is a man is a statement of biological fact and entirely in keeping with the Nolan standards (are they still the Nolan standards?)

Wtf ... what a load of bollox! Get in real life.

Sparkles is an unstable extremist politician, besides the other unpleasant stuff they are involved in already mentioned he published twitter threats to criminally assault people by throwing soup over women with different political opinions multiple times. Encouraging behaviour which resulted in another unstable person assaulting a women today and getting arrested for it.

Other Sparkles highlights include advocating book banning, and being the author and singer of the politically violent "Tread on a Terf" song published online.

If we click on that link we will be monetizing Sparkles' Youtube channel. For God's sake don't get him into the charts.

Glad that you can see that Sparkles is totally unsuitable for public service as there is no way he could stick to these for 5 minutes when in the presence of a woman that says no.

The suffragettes did not campaign for women to be allowed to play golf, or any sport.

@Ladyof2024

I think the being “keen on golf clubs” is a reference to Suffragettes targeting them in their campaign for the extension of the franchise.

Between IW and Sophie Molly, it's hard to know who is most batshit.

IW's claims of actually having grown a cervix (and a hideous threat of showing it on TV) are just pipped to the post by Sophie Molly's behaviour. When your behaviour is too much, even for the Scottish Greens, it's a very bad sign.

There is a full report from a local trans rights group and l have screen shot all the abuse which emanated from Sophie's posts. It is brutal and extremist and Burton has made no attempt to stop it and activly 'liked' and added to the abusive conversation. Regardless of your opinion on Sophie or trans people in general this is not acceptable behaviour from any public official and you should not support it.

Hate crimes against trans people in the southeast area are up by 30% on 2022 figures. If you support online attacks and deny trans people safety you are complicit in targeted harassment

You on here telling lies again Fred ???

Haven't you got a disabled Woman to abuse??

I'm finding this more and more hilarious. Sophie Molly has now got a petition gong to ask for Laurie to face disciplinary action (a massive 192 people have signed!).

The first comment is from someone called Alun Beard!

I wonder if Alun Beard waits at bus stops in his spare time?

Not suggesting anyone clicks on the link, but I played a few seconds of the start of the video. The intonation sounded incredibly familiar, but I couldn’t place it for a second. I went back to the start and heard, “Helloo everyone,” and that was when it came to me. Sparkles sounds exactly like Mrs Doubtfire! 🤣

Oops, I apologise to the unknown councillor for migendering him.

Literal violence! He'll be lucky to survive this, whether he knows about it or not. Grin

Laurie has been gender crit for a long time and has been calling out TAs for misogny for a long time on twitter. This is NOT the first time he will have been reported for telling the truth like many others inside Labour. It seems Labour's disciplinary process doesn't take random accusations over "transphobia" seriously for the most part.

Remember they only managed to get Rosie investigated when they tried to say she was antisemitic because she called out the TAs weird interpretation of the Holocaust.

On the down side Labour also do not take blatant misogyny seriously if it is tied to gender stuff.

Surely even before the recent announcement GLP wouldn't want to do anything with him.
