Polycule falls apart

I expect people remember that Heather Herbert (charged in relation to social media comments he made after Ann Widdecombe's death) is in a polycule with Sophie Molly (aka Sparkles, aka Euan Weddell) and someone called Poppybear.

Molly, I believe, is a witness for Jolyon Maugham in Sarah Phillimore's libel case against Maugham.

Poppybear has been posting some very indiscreet posts on BlueSky about both Molly and Herbert, and it looks, tragically, as if the polycule has fallen apart.

According to Poppybear, Herbert's comments about Widdecombe "painted a bullseye on all of us", and led to the police coming in and "invading" all their devices (whatever that means).

Also according to Poppybear, living with Sophie Molly is "like being permanently slapped around the face by pathological laziness unless it's something that grooms her ego."

Oh dear.

In a separate development, apparently Herbert has had his toxic kidney removed by the NHS so the money donated to the fundraiser is going to be used for something else:

For years women here were not told the sex of their foetus in case Indian women aborted the female ones. It would have been racial discrimination if white women were allowed to know so no-one could.

My son and his wife were caught in that one. The nurse explained why they were not being given a copy of the scan to examine, and they were disappointed but understood.

In India and china there is obvious and glaring son preference. I'm not aware of increases in girls adopting male gender identity, but there is supposedly a medical centre in India that treats female toddlers whose mothers took meds supposed to guarantee a boy that left their daughters with assorted deformities

I've read so many newspaper stories written about men in India and China who can't find 'brides' because of this preference for sons over daughters that has skewed the natural birth rates towards males.

The young men complain to the journalists that women in their countries now want men from the towns and cities, who have good jobs and prospects before they will consider marriage, and these young rural men can't provide those things so their families look for women from poorer countries and provinces who will agree to marry them.

I've also read some horrific stories of how these trafficked women are treated by the Chinese and Indian families they marry into.

Women just can't win in societies that favour sons over daughters.

Just heard about this on the news. The market always intervenes. Chinese bachelors being conned out of life savings by fake brides

Back to the polycule:

Pot noodle threatening the surgeon who operated on Herbert. And a bit of misgendering. Oooooh. Shots fired. ('Lego man'?)

How can Heather be contacting Poppy but he can’t respond? Surely a court order would be for both of them to not contact each other?

SabrinaThwaite · 11/08/2026 09:10

Google says that the Lego man comment might refer to a meme of a Lego man holding a weapon and making TRA threats, but who knows with these loons.

DoneByTheFuckingRainbowUnit · 11/08/2026 09:17

I thought the surgeon was the one with the Lego man, hence the comment about threatening people with a family to look after

Lalgarh · 11/08/2026 09:18

Id have thought it's against court conditions.

Hackett (now calling himself Tilly as well as Poppy bear) has also been self harming

Pot noodle hasn't made my reference to Hackett from what I can see on his Bluesky.

But has been bitching about Joanna Cherry, and a desperate plea for someone who's been falsely labelled a Terf nazi and Added To Lists.

I think on the basis of retweeting the BBC? I'm not quite sure why Nadia Whittome is mentioned either but if she's now cancelled that's extra special. Whoever amgelcake is they've also declared Zack Polanski is no longer an Ally because he still follows Amnesty International

I hear all of these updates in the voice of the Big Brother narrator:

"Day 88 in the Big Polycule House. Poppybear is eating a pot noodle and complaining that Sophie Molly has harmed his mental health. Heather is reclining on the sofa complaining about his kidney..."

Whenever I read about this, I vacillate between being quite glad that they're all shafting each other, and thinking how the fuck did we get to the point where these clearly mentally ill men have any sort of influence.

Threatening a surgeon? For the love of God.

But now, I will never not hear it in the big brother voice.

thank you sideways, genius

Can we have some sort of trigger warning before such comments? That mental image has put me right off my toast.

Every time I see this thread title, I can't help but sing "polycule" to the tune of Bony M's "Daddy Cool" in my head😪

Polly, poly-cuuulle

At the polycule...

The Big Polycule House makes me start laughing afresh every time I think about it!

Thanks @SidewaysOtter , I was needing that today!

We need more @SidewaysOtter . Surely they must be queuing up outside the Diary Room to vent .

Memo to BPH producers, stock up on tissues, but not man size ones as that would be triggering. Pretty little dainty ones in nice boxes.

BezMark · 11/08/2026 14:28

It's like the worst series of Big Brother(s) but the diary room is Bluesky and other social media channels.

TWETMIRF · 11/08/2026 16:02

Shopping list will be easy, pot noodle and angel delight. No cleaning products necessary

Monstershark · 11/08/2026 16:25

What did they do with the angel delight

The 'Diary Room' may be real if the claim about sending self publicising stories to The Fail is true!

Do you think they know where 'East Angular' is?

I thought the stories were fed to the Metro. The criticism was because the Metro is owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust plc.

However the Metro is in fact rabidly genderist.
