Need an edit function! *Hearing

Jeaux90 happy to meet up if you wanted to. I think my DD is at a very impressionable age - heading women like Posie speak will be the right sort of impression!

Tbh, I can't make it due to work, but if anything, the fear that I feel about being targeted for exercising my right to gather and speak about my rights in a democratic society, in the place which is emblematic of free speech, makes me very tempted to plead with my manager to let me have the day off.

Midclegs I didn't think about the content, I was more concerned about protestors and a lack of security but Venice is probably right about police presence.

WPUK meetings always have their own security so that's never concerned me.

So bloody annoying we have to even think about it.

I have 2 'tickets'. @jeaux90 (sorry for tagging) ** I was thinking of bringing along a daughter (who is a little older) but was worrying about the same thing. Worried some of the content might not be age-appropriate more than anything.

Brill! I’m home alone that weekend so no dog sitter, so wasn’t going to be able to go to any IWD things.... but speakers corner is perfect!

FloraGreysteel · 09/02/2020 17:02

OMG sorry - losing it here Blush

ArranUpsideDown · 09/02/2020 14:15

It's on March 8 (IWD) - not today.

FloraGreysteel · 09/02/2020 13:57

Aren't the London parks closed today because of the weather?

ArranUpsideDown · 09/02/2020 11:08

Gah, if I weren't already involved in IWD events I'd like to go along and sing with my fellow vipers.

Trust in me?

I personally wouldn't bring my kids, firstly because they are boys and secondly because some TAs really hate me so I don't go anywhere public with my kids. However, if I had girls and was unknown to them, I would bring them. I think it's highly unlikely that there will be physical violence and it's a huge park and there will be police present.

I want to go, is it wise to bring my DD10?

Lordfrontpaw · 02/02/2020 09:51

Women’s day for women! Whatever next?

Childrenofthestones · 02/02/2020 06:42

Be ready to film it when the inevitable bullying and abuse starts.

CameFromAway · 01/02/2020 10:53

I bet that will be a blast!
