There are TAs on twitter accusing me of getting thrown out of an AWL meeting for laughing at Roz Kaveney describing being raped. This is obviously not true... listen to what we were actually laughing at and why we were asked to leave...

Also another clip of me asking about Jess Bradley, when I nearly got chucked out...

Isn't there a picture of Owen Jones & Jess Bradley drinking champagne in first class train? #champagnecommunists?

AWL are a supposedly Marxist group, however none of them seem to have read Marx, Engels or understand materialism as a philosophy.

All part of the looking glass world we find ourselves in, eh? Useless fucking idiots, aren't they? Perhaps they might read Engels on women one day?

@Molokonono .... it was nothing to do with me.... this is all Venice's brilliance. I am also in awe of her.

Molokonono · 04/10/2018 14:52

Honestly Venice, Jean - each week I am more and more in awe of you both.

Lucky someone accidentally left their recording device on to catch the evident bullshit that occurs each and every time eh? What were the chances of that?

Thanks for posting drradfem - I'm glad you have the opportunity to post here to refute the lies and smears being said elsewhere. Amazing how different reality looks when you compare what someone says happened, and what a recording demonstrates what actually happened.

Well done for having the foresight to record this knowing how it would be misrepresented elsewhere.

You're like some sort of 1950's gin soaked detective with your tape recorder. I fully suspect to hear "This broad's wearing a wire! C'mere toots! Let Uncle Tony pat ya down good." At the next meeting

Oh dear. I scared myself then. I'm no Scorsese

Hats of Venice!

The insanity of it makes my head explode but you always stay so clear and cogent.

Also thank you for going to the meetings and challenging everything.

AWL are a supposedly Marxist group, however none of them seem to have read Marx, Engels or understand materialism as a philosophy.

As far as I'm aware the AWL are mostly Trotskyists? If that is the case, I find it amusing that the entryists have become a victim idealist of entryism.

Quite ammusing really.

So they are liars as well as delusional?

Charliethefeminist · 04/10/2018 12:51

Thanks for the evidence - saw this floating around the TRA accounts that most of us are blocked from, but with few likes or retweets. Assumed it was a lie so its great to have the evidence.

AWL = Alliance for Workers’ Liberty (AWL)

Melamin · 04/10/2018 12:44

Can you just remind me what AWL is? Yes please.

LangCleg · 04/10/2018 12:43

You and your abusive tape recorders, Venice!

We know you would never mock a survivor, never thee fear.

gendercritter · 04/10/2018 12:37

Can you just remind me what AWL is?

Very glad to listen to those - you were voicing an opinion that many of us share and I don't believe anything you said was so extreme you should have been asked to leave.

Women aren't allowed to express an opinion in 2018 without people trying to silence them.

arranfan · 04/10/2018 12:25

I was very taken with the woman shouting over you to object that you weren't being silenced. And that when you were urged to set up your own meeting and you pointed out that you weren't allowed to - it was easier for them to reject your (evidenced) reality and to rely upon their own.
