I read the news today oh boy! Page 1,523
Well you're the one who keeps posting them to France.
May as well, I get no f**kin' response here.
Doreen Lawrence, mother of murdered Stephen Lawrence, is being considered as Labour's candidate for London Mayor.
'Hmm', thought Labour, 'we need a black woman to put up as a candidate, she'll appeal to the Labour, female and ethnic voters of London.'
'Ooh, me, me!' piped up long serving London based MP and former Labour leadership candidate Diane Abbott.
'Put the kettle on luv, we have political business to take care of' barked back the selection committee 'and don't teef any of the biscuits, we know your type'.
Diane Abbott erm right RCP, it's that kind of statement that makes me suspect you've been stuck on a Russian space station for several decades, getting intermittent garbled transmissions from Sky news.

Yes, it's mainly old Soviet propaganda that's totally out of date...or the Huffington Post as it's more colloquially known -

I'm even more saddened to see that Mumsnet put the idea into her head.
I might have to stop reading it now. 
Mumsnet is very much like the BCG, an amusing buffet of buffoons but for flips sake don't take it seriously.
As long as Bozzer is running Labour haven't a look in, so run Doris as a nice candidate with oodles of good publicity for the party for the real elections.

interesting maybe Labour are playing the long game strategy, get the maverick anti Labour, Labour person in then welcome them back into the fold.
Worked with Red Ken, gawd bless him.
Certainly the London Mayor is a role for a loud independent voice and maybe Boris has flown to close to the Tory sun.

That's why Mark and Aaron were given knighthoods and zooo is constantly being asked to advise on government policy by Labour and Conservative. Mumsnet is a pressure group that makes the NRA look like Brian Haw*.
The influence they possess, the herd like mentality of their readers and the sheer spending power of their members equates into a lot of political power. Underestimate them at your peril.
*Brian Haw was the mad old man in the anti-war tent who used to live on Parliament Square.
They are a powerful pressure group of largely intelligent, liberal-leaning, feminist-sympathising women.
That's why we love them.
Royal we jenny?
I'm working on you , Soots. Just give me time.

That's why they want to ban everything and socially engineer the world we live in so that it resembles a Disney-esque vegetarian fanny centric dystopia cleansed of any and all fun.
A fanny-centric Disneyland sounds like the funnest place ever . Sign me up.

I'm particularly drawn to 'The new Wild West: What kind of Internet do we want?'
The 'we' in question being young feminists and mothers. Here's hoping some stay at home Mums can do more for control and censorship then George Orwell ever thought possible.
I for one abhor any kind of nasty criticism from anonymous agitators on the web, which is why I handed over the real names of Chinese dissidents to President Xi's secret police.
