No direct accusations against Edward Lord (the 'non-binary' freemason who is trying to remove single-sex spaces in London) but here he is describing as a "hero" a man who was a member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and is a continuing "advocate" for paedophiles:

From twitter, interesting article mentioning E L. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rwanda-how-dare-you-accuse-our-client-of-genocide-video-6273284.html

& of course power, influence & money too.

R0wantrees · 24/05/2019 16:12

I think a lot is about kink!

It really is just a boys club, isn't it?

It's all about penises. Which is why Lord finds himself grouped with Bradley.

happydappy2 · 24/05/2019 15:49

These men just can’t help themselves behaving badly for all to see. Edward has behaved appallingly & expects to get away with it, but they won’t.

R0wantrees · 24/05/2019 15:40

Apparently trans men are allowed to become members and 'brothers'. I wonder how many have? None I reckon.

Interestingly they would have to have surgery I think & have a GRC.
Its much more demanding than women's clubs would get away with!

Maybe Stephen Whittle will join?
He's well connected

Of course the Feemasons being so secretive who would know!

Justhadathought · 24/05/2019 15:25

The Masons, of which Edward Lord is a 'brother' member ( even though he identifies as non-binary and uses the pronoun 'they') also permits trans women to be members if they transitioned to female after joining, and refers to them as brothers. This is in spite of the fact that women are not allowed to be members, and we are repeatedly told that trans women really are women.

Apparently trans men are allowed to become members and 'brothers'. I wonder how many have? None I reckon.

It really is just a boys club, isn't it? Make the rules to suit themselves.
Edward Lord is a very visible & very transparent hypocrite.

Interesting that he uses it given he’s elected to represent people. But blocks them instead. I guess the City of London Corporation Code of Conduct says nothing specific about the use of blanket blocking technology but I’d guess it’s against the spirit of the Code.

following the City Of London's announcement on the results of their dodgy consultation. Concerns have been raised about how many women seem to be automatically blocked on Twitter by Edward Lord.

Ongoing survey of who is blocked (embedded in tweet)

Gordon Pike, a senior official of the Scottish Prison Service, was one of those responsible for its “gender identity and gender reassignment policy”

Another name to share far and wide.

welshbookworm · 05/11/2018 11:48

How interesting to see that Edward Lord obviously uses the Terfblocker blocklist. I can't see his tweet.

ouda · 23/09/2018 12:27

How bizarre. If I was active on twitter, this would make me tweet at loads of large companies and famous people. In fact, loads and loads of people. As many as possible. Just to get them to respond and be blocked too. Eventually, you could end up with everyone in the world being on the Terfblocker lists, and just a few weird men living in their pristine world only visible to each other!

What a bunch of saddos these inadequate men like Edward Lord must be. To see all anonymous people, who have never expressed any opinion on the subject whatsoever, as automatic 'enemies' just because they've had the audacity to LOOK Shock at the views of people you don't agree with!

How lacking in confidence must Edward Lord be in the soundness of his own arguments if he is so terrified of someone who might have read a different view.

But I suppose the fact he knows he is talking rubbish must be apparent from the fact he has now (apparently - I wouldn't know) chosen to delete all his own tweets.

Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

hackmum · 23/09/2018 11:20

ouda - I think the way it works is they block all the GC feminists and then they block everyone who follows a GC feminist. It's very sweeping. That's on top of people who have "liked" a GC feminist tweet or responded to a GC feminist tweet - that's how people like Dunkin' Donuts ended up on the Terfblocker list, I think. I believe they have something like 20,000 people on the list, and they wouldn't get that many just by targeting GC feminists.

ouda · 23/09/2018 10:14

OK, that's even weirder. Not only have I never tweeted, or retweeted, I have also never liked anyone's tweets either. (And don't plan to - I don't have time in my life for engaging in any more social media, and if I did, I would never choose to engage in one that was such a Wild West in terms of lack of moderation. Just not my kind of thing.)

I follow a huge range of people on twitter, mostly work-related but also a wide range of random individuals with a diverse range of opinions and usually a good sense of humour. That includes some GC feminists but also some whose views oppose that. And the vast, vast majority are nothing to do with feminism or trans issues at all.

So is there really someone out there adding random names to Terfblocker just for daring to READ the views of a few GC feminists??! Not actually expressing an opinion on them either way? That seems to be taking thoughtcrime to a new level. I certainly hope Edward Lord has never spoken in favour of free speech or attacked others for stifling free speech - apparently now even reading the views of someone he dislikes is now grounds for him to block them.

And how do they decide - surely all the well-known GC feminists must be followed by loads of people who disagree with their views too, as is apparent from all those who leap in on their threads to disagree with their tweets. Does Terfblocker end up inadvertently blocking loads of its own supporters? This is just insane.

I am furious that I have been labelled as anti-trans despite having literally never expressed a single opinion on ANYTHING on twitter. Presumed guilty just for existing. Angry

UpstartCrow · 23/09/2018 00:11

It means you are blocked. If the tweet had been deleted the page would be blue with a message in white saying 'this page doesnt exist.'
You've probably been added to the latest version of terf blocker, based on who you follow or a tweet you've liked.

ouda · 23/09/2018 00:06

Can I just ask, because I tried to look at the link on the top of this thread from Edward Lord, and got the message "You are blocked from following @edwardlord and viewing @edwardlord's Tweets.".

Is this because he has deleted this tweet? Or does it actually mean I am blocked from seeing his tweets? Which if so is a first as I have never actually posted anything on twitter - I follow loads of people of a range of views - mainly work-related stuff which has nothing to do with anything of remote interest to Edward Lord - but don't tweet. So am baffled how/why I would be chosen to be blocked. Does he simply block every single person who follows someone he doesn't like? I can't have posted anything he objected to because...I only use it to read other people's threads. Confused

Can someone rather more familiar with twitter than me explain this??

happydappy2 · 21/09/2018 21:59

Urggh, I can’t link but the video is on twitter, to see him state that he will not talk to women about their concerns, because Liverpool resistors were a hate group, tipped me over the edge. What right does a man have to dismiss women’s genuine concerns about self id.
Then to see all the women around him clapping.....how delusional are they? I find it hard to understand that he was born from a Mother, yet hates women so much.

PimmsnLemonade · 21/09/2018 21:41

Another one to add:

Joe Anderson, Mayor of Liverpool, (currently attempting to shut down feminists talking about safeguarding and to make toilets in the city mixed sex). Here he is tipping off a paedophile about a police investigation

www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-teacher-acccused-downloading-child-3445705

Are there any more I've missed?

To be clear, these are just the ones that have come to light within the last two or three months. I suspect this is just the tip of iceberg.
