Would you like to join me in handing out flyers outside the Oxford Union, Frewin Court, Oxford OX1 3JB, tomorrow? If so, please email me mike@j4mb.org.uk by 11am tomorrow.
Almost exactly a year ago, I bought a ticket for Special Snowflake’s talk and book signing in Waterstone’s Hampstead branch, details here. The flyer I handed out on that occasion is here. I shall have to update it for tomorrow, given that the following month, she won her second Lying Feminist of the Month award – here.
Caroline Criado-Perez has won our LFOTM award three times, one more than Special Snowflake – and got an OBE!
What a joke that this whiner should have been awarded the B.E.M. She joins such notables as yachtsman Chay Blyth and Bob Lilley one of the founders of the SAS.
I’m sure that it wouldn’t occur to her to be embarrassed by her total unworthiness, next to such people but she damned well should be.
BEM? What black irony. Whether or not one approves of it, the ‘British’ empire was built by men of endurance, and the women who followed in their train, who were not bothered by a little banter. To award the British Empire Medal to a whingeing whining girl for no service to anyone but her own advancement shows how degraded the award has become. It used to be considered both terribly revolutionary and terribly bad manners to refuse an award but acceptance now would be terribly naff.
