Drag Act and Bondage Act for a babies and toddlers to enjoy?

I'm beginning to think this is all another dead cat diversion whipped up by the Daily Wail to take the focus off the many failings of the Tories, just like the Illegal Immigration Bill, stop the boats, sack Linneker, etc.

I didn't read about it in the Mail. I've just checked and its a story run by many media outlets.

If in doubt, blame The Daily Mail.

Grantanow is really into dead cats today. She sees them here, she sees them there …

Yes Shep, it hasn’t gone unnoticed! ☠️ 🐱

I don't like the 'dead cat' expression. Disrespectful to our feline friends.

Here here.
What is it with dead animals and political rhetoric?
(Usually used by the left to those on the right)
Dead cats; gammon; red meat

It is just an expression used by those who lack the vocabulary to express themselves clearly.

Figurative language.

An unpleasant expression.

But are we VS to criticise someone’s predilection for expired felines?
Though the term seems to be applied on so many threads by Grantanow.

Which bit Violet?
(And isn’t that a bit of a Mumsnet cliche?)

Good for you GG13. 'Dead cat' makes me cringe. No more feline fatality.

If nothing else, whilst not understanding what was going on, I imagine the babies present experienced a change in the behaviour of their mothers, and that would be rather disturbing for them.

Thanks for the link janejudge - very interesting.

Regarding Danny la Rue - to say that wasn't "sexualised" I know you're wrong. The stage show certainly was. I remember it pretty clearly!

And isn’t that a bit of a Mumsnet cliche?

Aren’t we allowed to use cliches on GN then? I haven’t seen that in the guidelines.

It's not a cliche for people who laugh a lot and are usually tea adjacent

Its a reality

It might be a Mumsnet cliché familiar to those who have the time to post on MN or who like to spit in their tea. Who knows?

No kitties were harmed by comments on this thread

I think I posted that link last week but when I read it I understood how it was similar to what we are discussing here. I also know what Grayson Perry says about when he dresses up as his alter ego but he has always been honest and straight about it.
