Wow. It's quite powerful seeing it all laid out so clearly and calmly, isn't it?

Thanks for link Grin. Good article, wonder how long before Jenni is vilified for her bravery.

BarbaraStrozzi · 13/11/2019 18:28

Wow, that article pulls no punches.

I didn't know she had said this

The LibDem quote originated in Mumsnet
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3737757-Lib-Dems-actively-deterring-GC-women

and was subsequently quoted in another Times article quoted here

Excellent thanks for sharing

Great article. I note from her bio that she used to write for the Guardian.

That is an excellent article in terms of women's rights.

I would like to see similar about the dereliction of duty towards children by the political class.

Thanks from me too Jenni. This needs to be said.

The Lib Dems’ Jo Swinson claims anyone questioning trans rights is challenging human rights; this week her party told a voter who doesn’t believe that humans can change biological sex that they should vote elsewhere.

I didn't know she had said this, but thanks because I will do just that.

Excellent article. She nails it. Thank you for sharing.
