I hope above all hope that they will take heed of this and other pleas and comments about this matter.

Yet I have no confidence in them doing so. None at all.

Well said Graham. This hounding of Rosie has been shameful and the lack of support from the Labour Party a disgrace. One of the few MPs with any integrity.

All the regressive political parties are the same, using their complaints process on the flimsiest of excuses to destroy the lives of women who stand up for our sex based rights. Revolting. I’ll never vote Labour again. Or Lib Dem, and I won’t ever vote for the Greens, they’re the worst of the lot.

Yes agree I would vote for Rosie but she isn’t my MP. I am disgusted with the lot of them so may be a spoiled ballot for me next time.

It’s the same here in the US with the so-called liberals, for whom I will not ever vote again either.

A very good letter, Graham. I do think it’s high time Labour and other organisations had a procedure to weed out vexatious complaints at a very early stage. Your tweet clearly had a perfectly reasonable construction so long it should not be the basis of an antisemitism case. It’s much like the police when they insist on interviewing people who have stated women aren’t men. Since that’s scientifically correct and a belief protected by the Equality Act 2010 it should not go to full investigation. The complainant should be told that’s not criminal. End of.

It's amazing you have to tell the people who represent the UK this.

Most have little knowledge now of the real people who fought, and were killed or captured by them. Growing up such stuff was all around for my generation.Shouty activists now all seem to think they would have stood up and challenged the Party, they are sadly deluded.

it will take up to three weeks for Anna to get her special assignment. Mine was great fun i had to infiltrate a student union and pretend to be non binary. I had to learn to end everything i said with that rising inflection?

😁I burst out laughing reading and now thinking of this, ta! Or should that be ta? Why did the Mission Impossible theme play in my head? I'm off to ask for some banned books like this squirrel...

I was a Labour member for years but what a disgrace they’ve become, riddled with middle class wokery and people with luxury beliefs. Well said Graham.

oh dear, they aren’t going to like that letter, you’re asking them to engage their brains in a meaningful way. That in itself is heresy is this era of enlightenment. Wankers. I think i’ll have to read the goodnews post again. If labour undo the good things the tories are doing i’ll never forgive them, and i f-ing hate the tories for 99.9% of what they do. Strange times. Back to the happy post!

I wrote on the GNS supplement. Commenting on another platform about Rosie’s received death threats the response from men was overwhelmingly that it is her own fault, for a whole raft of misogynistic reasons. It’s truly depressing. That this letter is even necessary shows the corruption prevalent in our hallowed seat of democracy. It’s a slog Graham, and I admire your dogged determination to keep going. Thank you.

Excellent letter - they'll probably dismiss it out of hand because you 'misgendered' Eddie. With any luck the papers will pick it up.

Expand full comment

Actually Eddie has stated that he doesn’t mind which pronoun is applied to him as he has male days and female days. On the female days he likes to take selfies when leaving the ladies toilet. You see it’s simple. He, when up for a juicy male acting role and she, when applying for women only Labour short lists. This cross dressing Autogynephiliac is having a laugh at everyone’s expense and I think most people, except the majority of the Labour Party, can see that. He makes a terrible woman too. No dress sense and footballers legs. Fools no-one.

When he’s in girl mode he wears enormous “comedy” breasts. They must hang in his wardrobe

Expand full comment

Must be a bugger if he's away from home and suddenly snaps into girl mode when he's forgotten to pack his fake titties.

Expand full comment

Whereas doesn't matter which mode he's in for him to sport a cock and bollocks.

Ah the good old Cock and Bollocks, one of the finest transvestite pubs in the country 😂

Those were the days when you could call a transvestite a transvestite rather than whatever you're meant to call them now.

i don’t see how comedy breasts can be worn seriously. It doesn’t seem like a serious response to a problem.

This guy girl sounds like such a faker, but also a publicity seeker. Seems like the best course is to ignore this silly thing.

Exactly who is this person..or is it just a funny robot? I never heard of him her before!

Expand full comment

He is a so-called Comedian, and has done some acting too. I'm worried that he seems to have been groomed (exactly!) by the Labour Party, to try and become the first transvestite MP. Err, i mean, the first OPEN cross-dresser- obvs there are hundreds of secret ones already.

Expand full comment

He,she is obviously mentally disturbed! Male days and female days? What idiotic garbage!

Expand full comment

Excellent letter, and the initial tweet is still a good point. The only thing I'd add to it is that disabled and mentally ill people were also targeted by the Nazis for extermination under Aktion-T4, and for unethical medical experiments and sterilisation. Now, which side does that remind you of...?

Untruthful, hurtful & vexatious allegations; brilliant letter, Graham. 💜🤍💚

I bet you many Labour MPs and activists have made very antisemitic tweets in the last few weeks (and before). I wonder how many of them will be not approved for candidate selection?

Finding them and filing complaints would be fun.

Spot on Graham. A fine letter for an outstanding women. I’ve had no response from membership to my letter. I’m going to be annoying there & probably end up throwing my party card at them. These “elites” don’t care - and it’ll get worse if elected. Well done for writing this.

I'm imagining a little party of Labour members going inside their headquarters and maybe to the highest-level executive-type person's office and tearing up their membership cards in front of him/her all together, leaving the pieces on the floor and then walking away (assuming the cards are some kind of paper/card stock). Or doing it out in front of the building with news media in attendance.

Corker. Unsure if anyone that this is addressed to will actually be able to understand it (multi syllable words might pose a problem for them), but we live in hope that one day the Labour Party might find its roots in reality again.

Well said ,Graham. This witch hunt against GC women ,especially Rosie Duffield ,is vicious and it needs to STOP,ASAP. Rosie is a brave woman who stands by her principles in spite of the hatred and threats thrown at her by misogynistic bullies of the pitchfork mob !! Just as you do 👍👏💪

I support your reaction Graham.

Rosie, and others, bringing light to the darkness of trans ideology need to feel that they have support.

The Labour party knee jerk reaction to this is sad.
