Apparently smoke bombs have been set off.

Anyone there?

Be safe

*Smoke bombs on the Grenfell estate, intimidation of abuse survivors — do the TRAs have a manual called How To Be A Mindless Narcissist (and reveal your true self to onlookers who might otherwise have been taken in by your self-pity)?

I'd say they don't have any lower to sink, but I'd hate to set them a challenge.

And they say women lack empathy, for not wanting males in women's single sex spaces. So awful of us, not to prioritise men at all times. Wicked, really.

Kite It was the Labour Women’s Declaration rally

and yes, smoke bombs were let off.

"I've been told that senior Labour figures want to support me but are scared," says
@ selina_todd #ExpelMe "it isn't brave for Labour leadership to support women - it's part of the job description"

Are these the same cowards who publicly mutter something about 'both sides'?

Asking because I don't know:

what was this meeting?

And is it true, did I read it correctly, that certain factions let off smoke bombs at a public event?

Please correct me if I got this wrong.

I was there tonight - great speeches and delighted to have a chat with the inspirational Lucy Masood afterwards. I got lost on the way to the venue and found it because of the chanting of the protestors! It was brilliant to hear women talking confidently, with energy, humour and passion - but so astonishing that our right to free speech and to discuss our sex based rights is under threat. Had my photo taken too as I left. Gave them a big smile!! Agree that there is something rotten at the heart of Labours attitude to women as discussed tonight and don’t have much hope that the party can be rescued from its current state of woeful wokeness. Maybe something new can rise from their ashes.

Yep, noticed the masks too. What are they ashamed of?

NYnachos · 10/03/2020 00:05

I had a load of flash photos taken as I left (like being a celebrity... 🙄). Hoping they don't go any further - I noticed that the protesters were all wearing masks.

Seems so.

Cwenthryth just sent you a message! Agree - meh.

They cover their faces, we don't.

And tube-activism, the way forward Smile

Aesopfable · 09/03/2020 23:42

The question is - is the Labour Party listening?

If they are, you will find out when they expel you.

Cwenthryth · 09/03/2020 23:39

I was already sat down when Maya got on. Long purple hair :-)

The protesters - meh. Tonight was not about them, they had zero influence or input on proceedings. I don’t know what their goal was but they achieved nothing other than show how really nasty they are.

Tonight we heard from some wonderful women (and a few men and a transwoman) standing up for women’s rights and sending a strong message to the Labour Party. The question is - is the Labour Party listening?

nonsenceagain · 09/03/2020 23:29

Police were there when we left and protesters were almost quiet. It was a great event but I agreed with the woman who asked the question about whether there was any real hope for Labour anymore. When I think of all the time, energy, money and support women have given to the Labour Party and trade union movement over the decades, I want to cry and scream at the same time.

Like the time they had a noisy protest outside a meeting for abuse survivors.

I'm glad you're all safe. I just saw a tweet from Lucy Masoud, a firefighter who was at Grenfell, saying that a resident objected to the smoke bombs and a protester shouted 'We don't give a fuck.' twitter.com/luluchops1/status/1237143797944987651?s=19

Oh glad you’re all okay.

Another one who had great conversations on the tube! Just on the train back now.

NameChangeOctober · 09/03/2020 22:29

I also had fab conversation on the tube. Were you with Maya?

Cwenthryth · 09/03/2020 22:11

The bar is open till 11 tho so hope those who stayed are also safe

Cwenthryth · 09/03/2020 22:11

It’s ok it all quieted down pretty quickly & stewards helped people to leave safely. Just has a fab conversation on the tube with other attendees.

How absolutely disgustingly disrespectful to be letting smoke bombs off on the Grenfell Estate, FFS. These children have no sense of dignity or solidarity with anyone except themselves. Angry
