Soup throwing again

Over Posie Parker (as was. Kelly forgot the rest of her name)
On her NZ tour.

I dont do links, but it's probably easy to find.

The person who threw it followed up with a quick speech, saying something like she wished it was blood, or next time it should be blood. I couldnt really hear clearly.

Why such vitriol and violence?

(If there is another thread about this, apologies.)

I wasn't laughing but now I am, because you don't know what "apologist" means. smile

God, you're all so funny. Nearly did myself an injury laughing.

You can deflect and make jokes as much as you like.

The Nazis? They were the ones calling themselves Nazis. What a bunch of apologists you lot are.

Who has apologised for Nazis?

Agreeing with PP on this subject is not the same thing at all, and however much you sneer, invoke your Australian friends and laugh at us, you won't change that.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!!

Actually, I have no clue what is going on apart from the fact that there are some people in a picture, police are standing around, someone threw some soup or it could have been juice and it could be in Australia in Melbourne or Adelaide or then again it could be New Zealand

I arrive home after a lovely evening, look on GN and think I've fallen down a rabbit hole.

Why should they be ashamed of themselves?

The arrested the juice-pourer and she's going to court.

How much do you actually know about what happened and how much are you making up?

Can you post the link to this .....I can't find anything that says Eliana Rubashkyn has been arrested? I have seen they have deleted loads of tweets, especially the ones from where they've fled to Australia.

Callistemon21 Wed 29-Mar-23 22:46:37

They look like the police to me 🤔

I know Australian police can be a bit, well, what can I say? Tough? Over-zealous sometimes? But I wouldn't call them Nazis.

Could we see their boots. That’s always a giveaway.
Or, maybe they were in mufti for that gathering just incase some took offence 🤔

Callistemon21 Wed 29-Mar-23 22:30:30

I said PP was a Nazi, and as evidence posted pictures of actual Nazis at her rallies, and a picture of her with Pauline Hansen

How do you recognise actual Nazis from a picture?

Do they have a swastika tattooed on their forehead? Or wear a Nazi uniform?

Just curious 🙂

Remind us, who were the thugs at that gathering.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 22:20:58

Just because her views are the same as those of the Nazis and thugs, that doesn't make her wrong.🤔

Give me strength.

Doodledog Wed 29-Mar-23 22:10:06

Good point. In this case I don't think it matters, to be honest. Just because she has some dodgy friends doesn't mean that she doesn't talk sense.

I know people who think men can become women by saying magic words. I think that is b*llocks, but that doesn't mean I don't value their opinion about fashion, or knitting.

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 22:07:26

I wonder what Far Right means in this case Doodledog?

It's a phrase that's been so over used, what used to be considered center right, is far now.

Doodledog Wed 29-Mar-23 21:58:48

That should have read to say that it doesn't mean that everything she says is nonsense/not ok. Obviously.

Doodledog Wed 29-Mar-23 21:57:50

There's a Mumsnet thread about it here, if anyone is still unclear about the ^dramatis personae^ and the order of events

Rosie Parker does appear to have links with the Far Right, which is, IMO A Bad Thing, but it doesn't mean that everything she says is ok, or that it is remotely acceptable to use violence to break up a feminist rally.

(oh, and if it matters, I conducted a quick survey of my globally situated crowd of LGBTQI+++++++++ chums, and they all agree. so I win)

JaneJudge Wed 29-Mar-23 21:41:08

Posie Parker that is

JaneJudge Wed 29-Mar-23 21:40:42

I thought she was a gender critical feminist?

Okey doke. I'll mention that to my LGBTQI friends in Adelaide, they'll be delighted to comply.

I didn’t realise GN had such power over the LBGTQI community in Adelaide.
It’s quite exciting, isn’t it. 😊

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 21:04:07

Comply?
The only crimes committed at that meeting were committed by trans activist.

Unless you know better?

Keep your blinkers on then Volver3. I hope you take them off before it’s too late.

Bridie22 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:31:38

Even if they were nazis or aliens, its doesn't excuse what happened !

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:30:35

Bridie22

I am not making any excuses!!!!
What ever you think of Posie, that juice/ soup could have been acid, not acceptable behaviour, as was the elderly lady punched in the face by the bearded one, it was like watching wild animals baying for blood...and you endorse this?

No I do not endorse it.

Nor do I endorse assaulting aboriginal senators, Nazi salutes on the streets of Melbourne or any of the rubbish she's talking here.

Best moment, 5:30 in and the few minutes after.

Good bit where she uses the lyrics of Mika's "Grace Kelly" and thinks she's really clever.

I've no idea who this interviewer is but I like her.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 20:26:58

THEY'RE NAZIS

Holy Smoke.

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 20:26:24

The person who elbowed a poor old gran in the eye, quite deliberately btw, was double her size and dressed as a woman. Not a Nazi, I'm afraid.

20.14 ....I agree Bridie22
