Polycule falls apart

[RoyalCorgi]

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:

Is that real? I always thought Tatchell was very TWAW - bit of a row back from him?

I think he's said similar before, when the Isla Bryson stuff happened. Prompting shrieks of horror from TRAs

I wonder if Tatchell’s really saying this because he wants a justification for refusing to have sex with TIFs? After all, if TWAW then TMAM…

I should think it's just because like most people he assumes TWAW TMAM are a polite fiction that has limits, although it's far too gauche to actually say so out loud. It's one of those you know, meaningful look, things.

This unspoken boundary beyond which TW are no longer W and TM are no longer M lies after everything women are asked to accomodate, obviously. We are just being unnessessary mean and rude to point out or act as if TWAM, TMAW.

Ehmagahd

Et tu, Peter?!

Tatchell is more or less saying what was often said about something else when he was at a formative age; ie "women and men are equal but different." Now he's saying that in a slightly different form, but the same thing: "women and man are equal but different, even if the men say they are women."

Over on the new thread about Jolyon Maugham, his substack pleading his Weren't Me Guv stance on the failures that led to the death of Jason Arday has led to speculation as to the level of duty of care that he gives to people whose cause he deigns to fight for

JM would presumably have a duty of care over Smolly/ pot noodle. Well I'm sure the lad will be well looked after....
