I don’t know who they were. One of them asked the ‘What about Ireland question’ but stopped short of the usual ‘and there’s been no problems’.

Can confirm what was said above - they were quiet and respectful during the speakers (although one was taking notes Hmm ) but got a bit animated amongst themselves, so still not disturbing anything, during the Q&A and very flummoxed by the white cloth Grin

I was sat just in front of the whingers and god did they whinge and the way you called them out as terrorists was fabulous.

Remember that nonsensical story about someone allegedly spitting on the back of a peaceful protestor's head at Brighton? I'm startled that some video from the Handmaid's Tale hasn't been released as documentary evidence of what Disrespectful Women did to the whingers. You know, the particicution scene. Hmm

I wouldn't pass my ticket on to someone as I worried about the naysayers.

WanderinWomb · 29/09/2018 19:55

Can I ask what venue hosted the talk and which pub you went to?
Don't say if you think they need protection but I'm local to Manc and love to give my business and recommendations to a venue that didn't cancel you (looking at you Leeds council)

It was such a lovely evening, was so nice to meet up with people I know online and irl. Well done Posie! HaloThanks

UrsulaPandress · 29/09/2018 19:47

So who were the whingers?

chuntersalot · 29/09/2018 19:45

It was a great evening. If you went outside the pub for a cigarette at any point you probably met me Grin Spent more time out there than in the pub.

I was sat in front of the whinging ones too with Hyppolyta - thanks for lift from the venue to the pub. Also walked back to the tram stop in Piccadilly Gardens who someone I think is a mumsnetter Smile

I cried a bit during some of the speeches too. Very moving. I came away feeling powerful.

Sorry I didn’t make the action in Manchester this morning - fucking Northern Rail.

Whooops. Of course. Jean in the ball gown straight from the funeral.

arranfan · 29/09/2018 18:37

I think the ex prison officer is Anne Ruzylo.

Jean H is the one who shared her story about cancer and is (literally) on her bike.

UrsulaPandress · 29/09/2018 18:35

Was Jean the ex prison officer?

Sounds brilliant.
