Secondly, until I saw this I never noticed just how much May looks like Gerald Scarfe's drawings of Thatcher:



and realise why so many Tories voted for May, and why they continue to not do the decent thing for both the country and their own careers. They think she's back and are terrified to cross her.

He's tight with the Serwotkas, both of whom are TERFs. Mark signed the TERFy letter in the Morning Star, and Ruth is literally a founder of Woman's Place UK. John McD has been in talks with WPUK and Mumsnet.

I'm not sure why but I get the vague sense of red flags wrt big john mac, and not the good kind. Are we getting mincome mcdonnel or the one that is comfortable in a room of terfs?

He could be fine. I definitely worry that we're asking a lot when we hope there are two baby boomers that aren't enemies of humanity, though, and Thornberry is part of that weird post-60 subset of the baby boomers that are significantly less terrible and rich. I want to be represented by people that will actually be alive for the bad bits of climate change. It should be a visceral terror that burns fear from the soul and leaves only bloodlust and the drive to revolution, not a bad policy problem.

mumsnet has been a frequent site of e-campaigning in elections going back a while, a politician posting on there a few times to drum up some support ain't some new thing and it is not indicative of them being a terf. it is indicative of them being... a politician.

especially since most mumsnet users are not actually terfs, or don't seem to indicate that they even know what a terf is or could be. the site gets a lot of users, and the terfs are largely restricted to the 'feminism' section'. that's like saying all goons are deep into collecting firearms, because SA has a subforum for people who own firearms.

it's a big forum for what is mostly casual chat and drama. there are absolutely terfs on there, mind, and they should be shouted down at all possible avenues. i would just slow down before you accuse every poster on there of being a terf and a lot of associations with the site as being a pro-terf conspiracy, since a lot of stuff on there is discussing who max branning is sneaking into bed with or some minor grievance with their child which has been blown way out of proportion.

e; to illustrate the perceived importance of mumsnet to people who probably aren't terfs, you can find frozen goods targeted at kids (and adult children) in supermarkets with "mumsnet approved" labelled on them. the site has some reach and influence with an audience who can be hard for male politicians to reach - mothers. that is why they sometimes do a spot on there. it is publicity.

Unfortunately basically every political figure in that age range is at best a cruise-missile liberal. The people of my generation were told (and had reason to believe) in those crucial mid-teens to mid-twenties years that form the majority of your political opinions that the world was a solved problem, and all we have to do is little tweaks and let the inevitable and benevolent tide of history lift everyone up.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

Find a place that does an actually not poo poo kebab with real meat and spices and has proper salad with all the pickled poo poo. Get that with piles of veg in a wrap if possible with no sauce at all. 10x better than anything doused in sauce.

The kebab was about a tenner with a bottle of diet coke* and the KFC bucket was twenty (but I did in fact eat it all myself. I was massively out of balance after the brexit vote and my bet was supposed to be the old at least you'll get something out of this horrifying turn of events)
