26,000 hits on the one click page from Fair play for Women!

Is it blocked only if you have an internet content filter?

26,000 is amazing

What'a the IP address for it? Can someone give that and we can type it in

I've been tweeting @btcare

They have told meit is not blocked and to check my DNS settings. They are all fine. I can access it fine if I turn of my WIFI.

Therefore it is not an issue with the site or my pc set up. It must therefore be being blocked by BT. They are not accepting this. I have told them a lot of people are having the same issue and there are 2 threads currently running on mumsnet about this.

If more people tweet them they might actually believe it........

Didn’t work for me yesterday, but it did just now. Thanks for posting again.

There is a known global Internet access been issued that may cause interruption.

This is part of the BT response I posted upthread. Does anyone understand what it means? It sounds like something has been actioned that caused issues.

I'm also highly suspicious but I do recognise technical stuff goes wrong all the time.

i'm sure some skullduggery is behind this

it's so undemocratic

hmm, reply from Virgin media: I can confirm we have not blocked access to this site. They did tweet out last night, the site was having technical difficulties

On BT here and had the same issue - unreachable via our broadband but works on 4G.

Doesn't work on Virgin for me, either. Looks like a complaint to Virgin is in order.

Won’t work on either my virgin media mobile or through virgin media WiFi.

Works fine on my o2 work phone.

Pretty fucking suspicious!

I've tweeted @virginmedia about this

will call them later

EE broadband didn’t work either. EE 4G was fine. My husband just did it.

I will do a fuller version but he showed me the FPFW one before it went and I am impressed.

I have just spoken to the Virgin Media technical team having spoken to a lovely lady in India who agreed that protecting women's rights could cause men to get nasty. They will get back to me in four hours.

I suspect that the problem may be people logging into Virgin and reporting the website, which is fairly easy to do. I assume a lot of reports causes the ISP provider to automatically shut off access, with fewer staff around at the weekend to sort things out. The nice man in Wales I spoke to was aware of the controversy, and agreed with my suggestion that this was not something Virgin wanted to get caught up in.

It is really shocking. I was fairly relaxed about transgenderism, mainly concerned with free speech and protecting safe spaces for vulnerable women and girls. But these people are really nasty and completely undemocratic. I hope that this has been taken on board, and that oganisations, like the Civil Service, political parties, and Stonewall will review the extent to which they have been vulnerable to entryism and how it has affected their policies.

I'm on BT and I am blocked. I've just tweeted @btcare. I'll let you know when I get a response

Virgin customer services (off-shore call centre) didn't know what we were on about) 🙄

I've just been onto BT web chat and this was the response.

I appreciate you explaining the situation to me. It seem to be specific web site issue and seem to have has got affected not by the BT network but the site that you're trying to access . There is a known global Internet access been issued that may cause interruption. I would suggest to wait for 24 hours and then give a try.

personwithavulva it's not so much 'pre-filled' more of a statement that you put your name to, stating that you believe the changes made to the GRA to bring in self ID can only be brought in at the expense of women's sex based rights.

It references the consultation and the relevant sections rather than pre-fills it from what's I can see. Apparently they have checked that responses recieved in this way will be accepted.

Any idea about how many of those 26000 clicks have become actual signatures? I'm finding it quite heartening that people are starting to discussion this now outside of mumsnet/twitter/Wpuk events etc.

we're on virgin - same thing

this is new

i was able to order my leaflets just fine

i will get onto virgin media customer services this morning

Oh ignore me if I actually click on any link from the homepage I get
"Site can't be reached"

It would be useful if OP could let us know what's going on because it's really unsettling and suspicious...

There were server problems but I haven't seen anything from Nic to suggest malice or sabotage. Just that the new settings take longer in some places than others.

Very odd.
I'm with BT and can't get to it by clicking the link in the OP or when I type fairplayforwomen.com directly into the bar.

I used my Data instead and got into it straight away.
I'm back on BT WiFi now, no data, and I typed fair play for women into Google and got to the site that way.

All very odd. Maybe just a technical hitch?

My dh's eyes popped out of his head when I showed him the Virgin block. He agrees with me on this but always eye rolled when I've said it's a serious mass govt, media, corporate whatever attempt to shut women up and roll back rights. Something as simple as this was jaw dropping for him. Esp when I said 'you just get used to this sort of thing'

I can get to WPUK via BT.

FPFW is still blocked this morning unless I use a VPN setting my IP to outside the UK.

My mate is onto virgin customer services,... (update in 4 hours when they answer)
