Sisters Uncut

Am I right in remembering that Sisters Uncut were supporting Maria McLachlan's attacker?

I assume they want the trial to go ahead?

I wouldn't necessarily assume that, given that they or people they associate with are likely to be "anti carceral" "feminists" and that they consider murderers who have killed themselves in prison to have been "murdered by the state".

By "murdered by the state" they mean in the case of MTF trans people, killed themselves in prison.

One of the people they mention is Jenny Swift who killed a young man who was working in the garden where Swift was staying, in an incredibly brutal and unprovoked attack which a paramedic described as the worst stabbing attack he had ever seen. When the victim died a month after the attack Swift was charged with murder. It was at this point that Swift committed suicide.

Yes, clearly this person was troubled and had mental health problems, but frankly I'll save my sympathy for Eric Flanagan and his young family.

There is a lot more wrong with Sisters Uncut. Would it be useful to have it all in one thread?

Here is another dubious one:

"One of these women, Michelle Pearce, died in prison of cancer. She was in prison because she stabbed her mum 30 times. This list is massively misleading."

It might be useful to go through the whole list.

Number 91 in the list is Jade Eatough

Number 95 is Nicola Cope

These are men who raped and abused girls. No one should be mourning their deaths, least of all 'feminists'

The kindest thing I can say about them is that it's a fucking stupid thing to say about the police when the case hasn't even gone to trial yet. I assume they want the trial to go ahead?

I was there (not in support of sisters uncut). The drummer was just some bloke who took it upon himself to turn up. Saw him pissing against a tree as I left, easily able to be seen by any women in that area. Sums him up.

I feel so sad that this vigil has been highjacked, twisted and used for a political protest. It should have been a quiet vigil for sarah with reflection on women’s vulnerability. What was all the bloody evening drumming and chanting about? It monopolised an evening which didn’t need leading. Bloody awful for Sarah’s family and friends to observe. I felt so uncomfortable watching both the police and the protesters. A quiet candle lit vigil in the evening would have been respectful to sarah and would have resulted in no police intervention I’m sure

On the plus side the majority of comments seem to be calling them out on it.

I've just said on another thread that they are indistinguishable from extreme MRA groups. They don't want rapists and murderers to be arrested or imprisoned. They have nothing but aggression for women who disagree with them. I'd like to ask them:-

1. What would you do with Sarah Everard's murderer?
2. Violent and sexual crimes against women are nothing like crimes of acquisition and are not only perpetrated by men who are disadvantaged and disenfranchised. How would you stop men committing these crimes?
3. If a man has already committed rape or murder and you have made him undertake 'community reparations', what will you do if he commits these crimes again (and again, and again.)
4. Without at least the threat of imprisonment, do you think more men would commit rape and murder against women? What makes you think it won't be like the Fall of Berlin?
5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how out of touch with the reality of the lives of women and working class people do you think you are?

i don't understand this.
i can't read the extract.
they sound a dodgy gruop.

I seen no 95 .Who is the other one ? I know OP , its very sick . Must be horrendous for their victims as well if they see that .
