I'm not a massive fan of La Hazarika, but I get the sense she'd like Labour to be competent, and she's looking at the current Downing Street operation and going "WTF?"

Yeah, Labour men who are really enthusiastic about breaking down women's boundaries should be something she thinks about. If the blind spot is always in the same place, it's not a blind spot.

Pleased to see that these issues are being reported in the press - only obliquely but below the line (Times, Telegraph, Mail) people are pointing out these uncomfortable truths

Indeed Sionnach. Idk if it’s worth making a thread for that piece?

Done!

That’s an interesting way to refer to a sex offender, Pam.

I think this is a typical attitude of a person whose sense of self is based on #bekind. Similar to the people who have had some form of counselling or therapy and then decide that they are qualified to test out their limited experience on other people’s mental health issues….this person sees herself as kind and has put her ego of wanting to be seen as kind ahead of common sense.

Apparently Labour canvassers are reporting back to HQ that they're being told they are the paedo party on the doorstep now
