Will this be live streamed please?

FermatsTheorem · 20/06/2018 18:42

Good luck, all those attending.

Will be interested to hear the "post-match report" (in the spirit of the cessation of hostilities thread). Also interested to see if Janice Turner, James Kirkup or others pick up this story. Come on Times/Spectator - we need you.

If anyone here is attending, and you meet any TRA I hope you follow Julie Bindel's lead and call them "Posh boy". That really gets their middle class, "woke", pseudo-Leftie, SJW goat.

Maybe 'mis-actioning' could become hate speech. "No, I was skulking, how dare you mis-action me"!

Southfields can only imagine your deletion was for 'misgendering' .
Otherwise, maybe the person who reported your post actually felt aggrieved that your post about Lily was being 'mis-actioning' - as Lily wanted to identify as 'skulking' rather than attending something else at the same time!

It's not really, it's probably the best policy. A lot of media coverage feeds attention seekers and can spread fear which just achieves what tge terrorists want.

I think you're right. I was all for trying to publicise the threat but when I had calmed down I realised this would actually bring all kinds of people out of the woodwork.

ImPreCis · 20/06/2018 15:12

I’m attending. It’s about an hours journey for me, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

Agree that the press silence is shocking

Have fun!

NamechangeLikePrince · 20/06/2018 06:08

Ah. I was finding the lack of news a little distressing but perhaps they will release a further statement after the meeting is over.

Agree that the press silence is shocking. If any other group meeting had been threatened with bombing there would have been an uproar.

It is just a group of women, nothing to worry about. Two a penny, women.

AndhowcouldIeverrefuse · 19/06/2018 22:13

they will only be a 999 away

I thought the police were always only a 999 away? Confused Sounds like they were trying to fob someone off while at the same time pretending they care.

LaSqrrl it's a local paper. They ran an article on WPUK, that's great.

Someone offered a response. They ran that too.

Local papers need news! I don't think the publication of two articles of differing viewpoints can be taken to give us insights as to the editorial bias of the paper.

sleepingdragons · 19/06/2018 15:04

Southfields I'd email MNHQ for an explanation, sounds like they go it wrong.

(Unless - do you think you misgendered LM? I think that's probably against the new rules).

Apparently the police are now fully involved and have assured attendees that they will only be a 999 away, though they won't attend til someone calls. Instead, brick-shithouse bouncers will be in attendance.

So, it tells me to read the guidelines, and I did, and they say:

Mumsnet's Talk Guidelines
Mumsnet Talk is not a pre-moderated forum. Our policy is to keep intervention to a minimum and let the conversation flow. That said, we're also here to make parents' lives easier, so where necessary, we will use our discretion to delete posts (or ban posters) if it seems to us that doing so is in keeping with this aim.

We do have a few forum rules to make sure we keep Talk a good place to hang out:

No personal attacks
No posts that break the law
No trolling, misleading or deliberately inflammatory behaviour
No trollhunting
No spamming

None of that applies to the post in which I stated that Lily was at the HOC to attend a different meeting.

I am astonished to find that my post on here re: Lily Madigan has been removed!

I merely pointed out that Madigan did NOT "skulk" around the House of Commons when the women's meeting was taking place -- but was there in order to attend another meeting, the booking of which was made weeks before the women's meeting was moved there after Millwall cancelled.

What in any of the above is worthy of my post being deleted? It is NOT transphobic -- if anything, it defends Lily Madigan!

Jeez we can't even mention anyone trans now without a deletion, swiftly leading to a ban!

Two articles still doesn't cut it. One article, 50/50.
Otherwise, just silly.

sleepingdragons · 17/06/2018 11:06

@PointlessTV This is covered by local press who as you can see from the above linked piece, are biased against women

Let's not spread misinformation.

Hastings Times Online have published two articles - one in support of, and then a response that was against the event.

It's too soon to say if they have a stance. To say they're biased against women on the basis of one negative response to a supportive article is not really correct representation of facts IMO.

sleepingdragons · 17/06/2018 11:03

@LaSqrrl That Hastings Online Times article was a response to an earlier article which was supportive of the WPUK event:

hastingsonlinetimes.co.uk/hot-topics/campaigns/the-great-gender-debate

So, the publication hasn't come out for either side (so far!).

PointlessTV · 17/06/2018 10:56

Why haven't National Newspapers got hold of this threat?

I have been questioning this also.

LaSqrrl · 17/06/2018 10:54

Wow, a rather 'balanced' article from Hastings Online, innit? Or did I miss the 50% that should have been devoted to WPUK?

Kettlepotblackagain · 17/06/2018 10:43

Maybe this would make people see what we were up against.
