Julie Bindel & venue for MVAW talk in Nottingham

That should be fun. Five minutes with the in house solicitor will tell them they dont have a leg to stand on legally (having chosen the SW Koolaid variety). So...grovelling apology, retraction and donation to charity of Julie's choice-cue wailing and gnashing of teeth from Bloko Harem, or contest the case knowing they will lose. Oh dear, how sad. Never mind.

Good news. Julie said at the meeting she will sue. Would love to be a fly on the wall at Notts council tomorrow morning.

Good!

Well said Simon Fanshawe. 👏 I recently became FB friends with Fred Sargent who was at the Stonewall riot in 1969. May he live long and prosper!

From Simon Fanshawe:

Dear @ adelewilliams. I was a founder of Stonewall. If @ bindelj, a lesbian who has spent her adult life fighting for Women’s rights and against violence against women, is “at odds with your EDI strategy”. It might be the strategy that needs challenging rather than the lesbian.

Haven't TRAs worked out yet that intersex is a biological condition and neither a sexual orientation nor some surgical idiocy that you have voluntarily inflicted on your own body? FFS.

Bit random but has anyone seen this yet?

I showed the photo to my husband without any context and he just went 😲

There’s lots of people I would be disgusted by giving a talk in my local library, and people are free to peacefully protest speakers (without intimidating or obstructing them or attendees) or hold counter events, but we all should be concerned about a council stepping in to override what a library offers and vetoing public events. If they can ban Bindel, another council could come in and ban talks against any issues like police violence, immigration, abortion, workers rights, socialism, etc etc. It sets a terrible precedent and even people who strongly disagree with Bindel and hate what she says should see that.

Assuming that Rolf Harris isn't playing Widow Wankey [sic] then pantomime dames don't really do much harm.

The historical echo of the removal of the women from public life and paid employment.

Are you using Shinigami Eyes, Margarita?

Lol nice try.

What about Pantomimes which millions of children go to watch every festive period?

Actors cross-dressing for plays and Pantomimes isn't anything new, it goes back many thousands of years.

Most of us do know about MTG so don’t think we aren’t aware . She is a particularly nasty piece of work, however I find it very interesting that a hard right wing, gun toting woman appears to be the only one who is willing to do something about this appalling lack of boundaries & safe guarding.

Yes , it certainly was 😂

Good luck and best wishes to Sarah and to Julie. They have many , many women right beside them and frankly you Catherina , hen , can FOTTFSOF !

What ? You mean Sarah taking a stance with regards Brighton Rape crisis Centre not offering single sex counseling... something she & other women have the rights to expect.
No one will she the library you fool , it’s the council!

Yup. It's like the anti women activists (including the usual suspects on here) who keep spamming IamSarah with comments like 'just use another service which has women only rape support groups if you aren't happy with 'inclusive' women's groups!!!' and she yet again points out that there aren't any in Sussex. That's the point. Or the ones who simply ignore the fact she isn't asking for the existing groups which are mixed sex to be stopped, she's asking for an additional single sex group to be added.

Women are actually fighting for their rights and services and getting shit done and it gets right up the noses of the footstampers.

No idea who that politician is but she might have a very good reason for that.

I’ve seen catherina on here for ages, always moaning about the latest feminist lawsuit , as if women don’t have the right to vindicate their rights in the court. Yes, of course women are going to keep taking these breaches of the law to court. It works, it gets publicity, it strengthens our legal protections. I’m sorry we don’t just ineffectually have tantrums on Twitter and actually get shit done.

If "Pride" is a political movement the Council are ranking political beliefs into allowed party memberships and not allowed party memberships and SW gets classified as a political lobby group.

Rather ironic. I very much want to see Ruth Smeeth condemn Nottingham Council. Julie could equally deserved to be called an angelic troublemaker. The council references Pride, this is relevant , if she wants credibility she needs to speak out now.
