I mean, WTF? How many more warnings of actual violence do there have to be before the risk these people pose will be taken seriously, especially just days after Anne Widdicombe was murdered?

And why am I not surprised that Green councillors were in attendance Hmm

Have we woken up in another part of the world? Surely stabbing effigies is the realm of less educated and more primitive societies.

Unreal.....

And horrendous.

Well, yeah

To be honest, I don't like the whole effigy thing - because I think dehumanising politicians or anyone for that matter is a dangerous game.

This is absolutely awful. I initially thought this sort of person was just really nasty, but now I'm genuinely beginning to wonder if there is something clinically wrong with people who behave like this.

to be honest a lot of things that have happened recently have made me wonder if some people are missing the empathy gene.

Do they have any idea how completely and utterly deranged this makes them look?

Ereshkigalangcleg · Yesterday 23:30

I really hope Burnham hears about this and has a little think about what sort of people are this deranged, and whether women just might be justified in being wary of them.

MarieDeGournay · Yesterday 23:36

Insult, aggression, threats of violence and actual violence seem to be very close to the surface in the trans community.

They use language like 'discrimination' and 'marginalisation' and 'literal genocide' to justify acts of aggression and violence.

Given that there is no objective evidence of any of 'discrimination' and 'marginalisation' and 'literal genocide' against trans people, I suspect that the aggression and violence generated the justification, not the other way round.

So they can be violent, including violence against women, AND be edgy and cool and 'on the RSOH'.

Every Guy Fawkes day, I feel this. It is a sectarian festival.

It's just so poisonous. The entire transactivism ideology. Look at what it turns people into.
I'm so sick of it. All of it. The lies, the propaganda, the brainwashing, the threats of violence, the actual violence. Women being raped in prisons, assaulted in toilets.
The terrible things It's doing to children. Actual CHILDREN for God's sake!
Talk about monsters!

And these idiots! A minute's silence? Seriously? For whom? No one has died here for being trans.
Just more lies.

Stabbing an effigy of the incoming prime minister is deranged behaviour. These people have mental health problems that need serious attention.

Come to NI, there’s been lots of it the past few nights (decades) and nobody does jack shit!

thirdfiddle · Today 01:08

What's Burnham done to offend them now? I was feeling a bit apprehensive about his government, given how woke Manchester is.

Ereshkigalangcleg · Today 01:17

They’re tantrumming about the EHRC guidance.

holding a minute silence for transgender people who have lost their lives due to societal prejudice and violence.

There's not exactly many of them in this country, is there? You can count on one hand the number in the last decade. Trans people are more likely to commit a murder than be murdered.

By contrast, two women per week are murdered by their misogynist current or former partners.

But they just want to pee! 🤔
