Honest to god, I’m surprised the BBC are even reporting this. Not that it will matter, of course. There’s footage of the Tories laughing at the rest of us while they break their own rules, and it won’t make an iota of difference. They will still win in a landslide next election.
Perhaps you’ve seen this story going round from, where else, The Daily Mail:
So here’s a little point-by-point summary of the actual story, which you can view on archive.org to avoid giving hits to the Mail:
-Woman is shocked to find men in what she “assumed” was a female changing room, without considering that maybe she assumed wrong. (All changing rooms have their own booths, so no-one would be changing in front of anyone else anyway.)
-Later this woman couldn’t find a changing room in Zara (unsurprisingly they tend to be pretty full around Christmas shopping time???) so decided to get changed outside one, which is a communal space.
-She refers to this as her being in a “safe space” which is weird because I remember the Daily Mail claiming safe spaces were for SJWS and snowflakes.
-She was shocked! SHOCKED! that people were walking around in this communal space while she was changing, and even more shocked that none of the men were actually paying attention to her.
But again SHE CHOSE to get changed in an area where everyone could see her!
-Later on in the article she brings up shops in areas which “are home to a large Arabic community” as if that has anything to do with anything.
-Apparently it is all transgender people’s fault that she was late to her office party, rather than her own poor planning.
I’m sorry, Charlotte, but this safe space you want doesn’t exist. And safe spaces are bad, remember? The people you work for have made that quite clear.
Absolutely the FUNNIEST thing I have seen today. Also unbelievably insulting to boys, which I’m sure wasn’t his intention. What, the only thing standing between your average boy and a life of crime was David Tennant and his sonic screwdriver?
Bonfire Night is by far the weirdest British celebration. An assassination attempt failed and we were like “let’s burn and blow up shit to commemorate it for centuries to come” like ok?
My friend’s mum has had her benefits stopped for 9 months as they want to do a ‘fit to work’ assessment on her. They’re using Covid as an excuse as to why it’s taken so long. Anyway, a fit to work assessment on a woman who’s home address is a care home. 👍🏻
I just can’t. On the day of the trial I went to look at the news in my local area, just the news from the past couple weeks in one fairly small area, and it was a terrible list of raped or murdered women. Perhaps no police officers were involved in these ones but it all comes from the same root, doesn’t it?
Don’t go on dates, don’t go out alone, don’t dress immodestly, be “streetwise” or it’s your fault. Wayne Couzens was nicknamed “the rapist” during his time as a cop. No-one did anything about it.
the cop who kidnapped, r*ped and murdered sarah everard in march, got her into his car by falsely arresting her. he showed her his police ID and handcuffed her. he probably accused her of breaching covid regulations. sarah was witnessed being compliant and not arguing, and this still didn’t stop her from being harmed. in fact, her compliancy enabled the cop to abduct her. the met police, the same police force this cop worked for, used violence against other women to shut down a peaceful vigil held for sarah less than two weeks later. prior to being hired by the met police, this cop was given the nickname “the rapist” by officers at another police force. this is not “one bad cop”, this an institution that is rooted in misogyny.
