Hi,

I posted at letter I wrote to Judith Blake after the cancelled WPUK meeting in Leeds a couple of weeks ago.

No reply from Leeds City Council (surprise!) but the Yorkshire Evening post, who covered the original cancellation, asked me to write an opinion piece.

Here's a link:

You write very well. Like a professional actually.

Great piece, powerfully expressed.

Flowers That article was the perfect balance between describing why Leeds City Council acted perversely and a personal account of how the GRA reforms are cruel and heighten the risk to women.

Thank you Yorkshire Post, for helping your readers to gain some insight into why the GRA reforms are contentious.

I found the article moving.

If I were a Labour councillor, I would squirm in my seat and hold my head in my hands when a woman speaks so eloquently and from personal experience.

Thank you for going public. It can't have been easy. Flowers

Is that a typo in the headline?
