Kemi Badenoch discussion

[LakieLady]

I'm sure I heard her on Sunday saying how immigrants should agree with British values, or words to that effect.

This "British values" shite gets right on my tits. The UK is not one massive hivemind, and there is a massive spectrum of "values" among the population.

She's obviously only mixed with people who share her vile "values" and needs to get out more.

How long until ‘Bring back hanging”?

How long until ‘Bring back hanging”?

Right after the suggestion that workhouses had their merits.

There are posters, for whatever reasons, who don't or can't engage.

And that's usually fine.

Not really. Posting links without comment and then not really engaging further is really bloody annoying. (This time the poster did post a comment but an oblique saying in Yoruba isn't exactly helpful.)

TBF I'd favour jailing some civil servants for their anti-social behaviour - those at the top of the Treasury, Simon Case, Gus O'Donnell, etc - but I suspect for very different reasons

If I'd been a member of the previous government I'd not want the phrase, 'so bad they should be in prison' thrown around too often.

Trump-esque.

Tories finally deciding to go full crazy like the Republican party.

Policy temporarily on hold over fears that hangmen will be classified as civil servants and will swell their ranks.

fairly accurate tbf

It's genuinely depressing how, no matter how much Badenoch kisses up to the far right, they still won't accept her. I hate her, but attack her for her politics, not because she's black.

This from a woman who once hacked an MP's website.

As an aside; wtf? Punisher logo with genderqueer colours. So that's like a tribe or something on mumsnet?

What hateful people.

They're the Suffragette movement colours, lots of 'GC' accounts have adopted this on twitter. But actually, a lot of them, when you start to look at their wider postings, have some very limited or 'odd' feminist positions (on abortion rights, etc) and seem to singlely consider being anti-trans/trans-critical as the most important consideration for womens rights. Many are simply conservative and right-wing on many other things.

MOD MODE

Thread title edited by request but I really haven't got time to edit out the dodgy posts.

Or people can start a new thread in politics and I'll close this one.

Yeah it's the TERF and TERF-adjacent attempt to reclaim the suffragette colours. See also the dinosaur emoji for some reason.

David Lammy called them dinosaurs and they ran with it.

Hmmm. So would no doubt be frothing that I didn't recognise the Suffragette colours. (Which tbf is a bit shit of me).

the genderqueer flag (yes i did have to go and look it up) is lavender rather than purple - and horizontal not vertical stripes.

not that i object in any way to people finding identities that fit, but i sometimes feel like round the end of the soviet union, and every week or so there's a new flag and you think 'where the heck's that?'

 

[ddraig]

The GC twunts who came to listen to posie parker in Cardiff were wearing sashes in purple etc ffs, so disrespectful to the Suffragettes

 

[bemused]

She seems to be wandering into the Liz Truss world.

mis appropriation of the Suffragette colours

given the suffrggettes were classit, racist and not about equality it fits quite well with TERFery

 

[teuchter]

So we need a "The Suffragettes' time is up" thread.
