Ireland's new Religious Police: Karen Power

Unlike their cousins in Iran, Ireland’s religious police wear cutesy glasses and they just wub Cadbuwy’s chocwit! Fingal libraries used its Twitter account to follow Maya Forstater, a feminist hero, and Allison Bailey, a lesbian hero. Guess what happened next?

Karen then used Twitter to do the old “I’ve-got-a-great-life-not-being-a-bigot” photo despite having just tried to silence a lesbian barrister who has worked her whole life for gay rights.

Allison Bailey steps in.

@CllrKarenPower @Fingalcoco @RobertBohan Cllr Power & Mr Bohan, you have called me transphobic. You have also labelled me hateful toward LGBTQ+ kids, far right & against Human Rights in your public exchanges. This is defamation. Both of you, please publicly retract these statements & apologise, immediately.

As does JK Rowling.

Then this fantastic exchange that ropes in a colleague. Enjoy your wine, ladies! I believe it’s from the Vichy region.

Karen’s response?

Looks like someone’s got a lot of growing up to do, in public, and quickly.
