Leeds WPUK cancelled

Iused2BanOptimist, if you want to watch the Manchester meeting, it's on Youtube .

There was another meeting in Manchester on the same night. The wpuk meeting was in Leeds

Is this the RJFirth who buys tickets for meetings so he can try and stop women talking?

Has he joined Mumsnet to supervise us?

Plonitbat I'm really confused now. What did I watch on Saturday morning?? Must have been a previous one then I suppose.

Film of the meeting hasn't been published yet. It wasn't livestreamed.

Where is the link for the YouTube of this meeting I watched some of it at the weekend but I can't find it anywhere now?

That's a very good point Datun. You have the ear of 12,000,000 people here RJ, a preposterous number of people and we'd love to hear from you. We are very open minded and tolerant here on MN.

Popchyk

Hmm, not sure, given the normal trajectory as per previous posts, I predict a 'standing in the corner and shouting "it's not fair, it's not fair" would normally be the next step!

I'm sure Richard will set the record straight, pombear.

That's why he's here.

RJ you hollered me a while back and I really couldn't be arsed to reply to you, given your form.

However, I just wanted to pop in and say hi, and that I'm a mum, as are many of us here.

Your publicly available spat over Leeds WPUK LCC fiasco, of your 'he said/she said' changing stories, 'they did it, it wasn't me, they staged it all probably' and now your 'we'd already won, that's why we didn't go' is sooo reminiscent of handling younger children when they're trying to backtrack to drawing on the wall, pooing in the garden, or pulling someone's hair.

I think you may have misunderstood your audience here!

RJFirth

I am vastly interested in what part of the WPUK content you find transphobic.

You are talking to 12,000,000 people.

Take the stage

.

How come you didn't want to talk to The Times, RJFirth?

That would have been a great opportunity for you to get across your objections to WPUK.

What are those objections by the way?

Oh and I forgot, the other point you had was to prevent the WPUK meeting from taking place, you failed on that one. In fact that is actually the only point you didn't achieve.

What point was it that you felt you'd made RJ?

Getting Leeds City Council reported in the national press for reasons it will regret?

Drawing public attention to the fact that some people don't think women should be allowed to meet and discuss issues the Government is actively seeking public opinion on?

Getting yourself into trouble with, and possibly expelled by, the Green Party?

Getting the national press talking about further attempts to destroy democracy?

I for one am very glad you were able to make these points, you've done a grand job of getting more light shone on this very significant issue. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Did you not want to see the remains of the meeting RJ? Or were you one of the protesters and couldn't find it -and though bouncers at a pub might be less friendly--?

Thanks to Alison Moyet, we are now able to deploy the #WankBlock whenever necessary.

We felt our point had been made that's why we didn't bother going to the Victoria Hotel.

I think there's been a shedload if FOIs submitted- will be interesting to see what comes back

I suspect An FOI request to LCC could easily unearth a trail of very embarrassing emails...

cloakes!

Special Forces indeed! We didn't even need our cloaked of invisibility we just walked away from the Civic Hall and if they'd simply paid attention to us, instead of dancing and being self-celebratory, they might have noticed we still had smiles on our faces and a skip in our step. But no, so utterly convinced of their apparent victory they didn't pay attention to us.

It was literally around the corner from the Civic Hall. Word went around quietly about the new venue.

So, we're really talking Special Forces cum Ninja levels of evasion then? :) That is so superb. It will keep me smiling for the rest of the day.

I was there arran. There were around 30 protesters and 70+ of us there to meet despite the venue having cancelled. As far as I could see all of us who attended to protest at the meeting being cancelled then went to the pub where the re-convened meeting took place. It was literally around the corner from the Civic Hall. Word went around quietly about the new venue.

The woke ones were playing music and being rather joyful as we all sauntered off, clearly thinking we were all off home and they'd won. I don't often feel smug but I did, a little, at the knowledge that they had no clue the meeting was going ahead anyway!

As soon as we got to the pub I posted on here, largely to let people know we hadn't been stopped. I do confess I was eager to let the woke know that they hadn't succeeded in stopping us. They must have been soooo pissed off. As for that tweet you mentioned, it's so incredibly immature. They have no idea how stupid they show themselves to be.

Ah I knew my cloak of invisibility would come in handy sometime

Were a lot of the WPUK supporters able to take advantage of being women of a certain age and therefore invisible?

I like your explanation, ErrolTheDragon :) I wish I could find it now to see if anyone accused WPUK of handing out invisibility cloaks or spells (being witches, harpies and whatnot) :)
