Just spotted on Twitter that Women's Place are holding a meeting in Oxford next month. I don't think the tickets are on sale yet.

Is anyone on here going to go?

Police are apparently on their way re the protestors being a tad rowdy.

Theinconstantgardener · 25/04/2018 19:44

Thats disgusting

Just reading updates on Twitter-
Some of the organisers went out to ask the protesters to be a bit quieter and just considerate of the fact that at the moment there were sexual assault survivors talking - their response? We don’t care.

Says it all really doesn’t it.
Wonder if some of the recent bandwagon jumping on by the dudebros is a pushback against #MeToo?

Throw them into disarray by singing something really cheesy in unison.

Doublemint · 25/04/2018 19:33

I'm going to see if I can get in the back

Mumsnut · 25/04/2018 19:32

So much for that.

Doublemint · 25/04/2018 19:32

I don't want to walk in on my own

Doublemint · 25/04/2018 19:31

Holy shit just got here it's terrifying I think I'm too scared to go in

I weighed up wearing my manFriday tshirt to Cardiff. It was on a Thursday though, and the OCD couldn't do it. 😬

Mumsnut · 25/04/2018 19:25

Wonder if someone from TRA hq has had a stern word with them after the appalling behavior at Bristol ?

Beyond11cisRetinol · 25/04/2018 19:23

Sweary - I bet they saw your biscuits on twitter and couldn't stay away...

Writersblock2 · 25/04/2018 19:18

Never be sorry about kisses!!

Elletorro · 25/04/2018 19:15

Oh god

Sorry about the kisses. Distracted by toddler issues

Elletorro · 25/04/2018 19:14

Courage calls to courage

For some strange reason all this talk of biscuits is making me think of Victoria Wood

SwearyGodPervert · 25/04/2018 19:11

Seems I spoke too soon. They're outside now - turning up after the meeting was scheduled to start...

theaveragewife · 25/04/2018 19:07

Interestingly they didn’t show up at the Birmingham event either, held in the Quaker meeting house.

Theinconstantgardener · 25/04/2018 19:04

Shouldve said im not on twitter

Theinconstantgardener · 25/04/2018 19:02

Good luck to everyone attending. Hope all goes well. Can I be cheeky and ask for updates on here if possible? Thanks

SwearyGodPervert · 25/04/2018 19:01

The protesters didn't show up! Apparently they're down the road at a square, though there is talk about them maybe coming later. Just have to not eat the biscuits in the interim.

Beyond11cisRetinol · 25/04/2018 18:56

Watching on twitter. Wish I could have a biscuit Grin

LizzieSiddal · 25/04/2018 18:54

Hope it all goes well!

This thread is really making me smile. Looking forward to hearing how the biscuits go down (maybe it will become a thing for Mumsnetters attending). Also want to say how proud I am of everyone who is attending. The solidarity between everyone is fantastic and it really makes me feel hopeful when I’m reading about how women are supporting those who are worried about going in alone. Bravo to all of you. :)

I’ll stop being sappy now!
