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.)

They were Nazi's. They are actual Nazis. I've posted pictures and everything.

Maybe they're just misunderstood.

A bunch of idiots with swastika badges waving their arms in the air is not even approaching the vileness carried out by the Third Reich. They’re idiots and thugs. No more or less. And they are not affiliated with Standing For Women in any way.

keeping laws in the UK based on biological sex that protects safeguarding isn't anti trans or being a Nazi

If I was aiming at anything MerylStreep it was probably a funny bone grin

You have to know where it is on the target first 😂

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?

Let’s not let reality spoil things.

The word ‘Nazi’ appears to have become shorthand for ‘somebody who says things I don’t like’. The actual Nazis were far worse than Standing For Women’, but hey, let’s not reality spoil things.

I think you hit a nerve there. 😂
I wouldn’t mind looking like Marilyn 🥰
And, yes, Volvo I’m know I’m shallow. 😂

I would say deflecting not patronising.
But what ever floats your boat.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 19:54:47

In other words, "I have no idea what went on so I'll just be patronising instead."

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 19:53:39

Now dont be silly V. You've got a little too hot under the collar. Thats all.
A nice cup of tea always helps in these situations.cafe although this is coffee, I think. Thought I'd better fess up as I know you like clarity where your liquids are concerned.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 19:48:08

By the way free speech doesn't include being allowed to incite violence and stir up hate.

Which is what the pretendy-Marilyn-Monroe does.

That's me exercising my free speech there.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 19:40:07

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?

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 19:38:14

Free speech is under attack.

Doesn't matter who had what ever liquid thrown over them the NZ police should be ashamed of themselves.

This kind of act emboldens people.

Was one of these lads German?

Sometimes you talk out of your backside volver 3...so just because posie was stood next to a German person , does that make her a nazi by association?
At least Posie has the balls to stand up for womens rights!!! What occurred in NZ was feral and scary.

Which one of these were German?

Feral and scary, right enough. Stop making pathetic excuses and admit what's going on.

volver3 Wed 29-Mar-23 19:29:36

Honestly, the use of the word Nazi to shut discussion down is so hackneyed.

They were actual, real Nazis...hmm

So we've moved on from throwing hot soup and making speeches about blood... to pouring juice that you think looks like blood.

Ah well, maybe a bit more like reality than your first idea.

Me too! 😳

Yes, if you can't argue rationally, start throwing insults around. Obviously those people can't listen to different views, start being violent.

Namsnanny Wed 29-Mar-23 19:10:02

IT WAS JUICE 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok calm down Basil.

Glad weve got that sorted, juice not soup eh?
But both red liquids yes?
To represent blood.
An assault.

Honestly, the use of the word Nazi to shut discussion down is so hackneyed. So bloomin' obviously about obfuscation

And so 😴 boooooring.

As for perpetually offended.
You might think that, but I couldnt possibly comment

To quote a very wily fictional character I admire. 😉

No Iam64, and with respect misrepresenting what people say is half the problem.

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.

The "perpetually offended" stepped right up and got indignant about the word "Nazi". If someone's a Nazi, we shouldn't stand by and be nice about them in case other people get offended.

IT WAS JUICE

Iam64 Wed 29-Mar-23 15:45:34

Good to see the ‘ perpetually offended’ being accused of being Nazis. We aren’t the group threatening to rape terfs to death with our lady penis. But, let’s never let reason into a ‘debate’ about a complex issue. Not that I see rape threats or soup throwing as reasonable mind
