Question Time tonight

[Greebo]

I don't think she's trans?

I don't think she's cis. If she's cis, she'd still be as good an arguement as Thatcher for keeping women out of party politics.

 

[J Ed]

She's a good argument (not that they are lacking) for the proscription of the Conservative Party as a terrorist organisation

The Country Landowners Association, as the armed wing of the tories, are ready to take up that role should the opportunity arise.

 

[killer b]

Nicky Morgan - doing for gender reassigned people what Thatcher did for feminists getting into politics.

what the fuck?

 

[stethoscope]

I don't think she's trans?

She's not. What is this?!

 

[stethoscope]

Also, I don't know what this is supposed to be implying one way or another, even though I'm not going to defend Morgan.

Nicky Morgan - doing for gender reassigned people what Thatcher did for feminists getting into politics.

to be fair, thatcher did encourage a great number of feminists into politics

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Why don't you think so?

I found Qt quite good last night, Morgan wasn't very good at defending the cuts to the disabled suggesting it was just up for discussion! and then she wasn't very good at defending the policy that all schools should become academies but she was to some extent taken to task by the panelists and audience.

There was an interesting moment with a question asking whether there was enough information to make your mind up about the EU question where Emily Thornberry just refused to recognise the question instead stating that she was in etc ..

who's hacked Greebo's account ?

 

[stethoscope]

Just really disappointing

Cabinet row erupts over disability cuts

prepare for some blustering non-justifications.

Smith is holding fast, he is truly a disgusting creature.

 

[ViolentPanda]

prepare for some blustering non-justifications.

Supposed "blustering non-justifications" are what you usually attribute to me. I hope you're not being stupid enough to claim that Greebo is a sock-puppet?

 

[killer b]

Not at all. I've seen it from both of you in the past, over similar comments.

 

[ViolentPanda]

who's hacked Greebo's account ?

No-one. She was (until I corrected her just before she popped out to collect my repeat prescription from the chemist, that Nicky Morgan is trans, and therefore a poor representative for trans people. I let her know that Morgan is merely a poor representative of women, but an excellent representative of Tories.

as opposed to e.g. johnny mercer i suppose.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Not at all. I've seen it from both of you in the past, over similar comments.

You do like sitting in judgement, don't you?

 

[Pickman's model]

Not at all. I've seen it from both of you in the past, over similar comments.

if - and it's a big if - that's truly the case, then why have you just seen it and not done anything about it?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Smith is holding fast, he is truly a disgusting creature.

Dunked-in Shit has held fast on much worse. It's hardly surprising that he's not willing to fall on his sword over killing a few thousand more disabled people over the next few years.

 

[killer b]

like I said.

of course he's not willing to fall on his sword, he'd likely miss

 

[killer b]

I haven't. I've challenged it, on a number of occasions. Greebo once put me on ignore after one such exchange.

 

[ViolentPanda]

He does do something about it. He analyses remarks and categorises them according to his own socio-political compass.

such as...

 

[killer b]

I'll have a dig later if you like.

 

[ViolentPanda]

like I said.

The thing with inventing such classifications is that you then analyse everything in light of them.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I'll have a dig later if you like.

There was me thinking that you'd already had plenty.

 

[ViolentPanda]

True.
Just for once I'd be willing to give aid and succour to a Tory, and hold the sword still for him.
