Here we go again: woman told she can't have a stall at a community event

It seems to sit under the Council - www.wiltshireclimatealliance.org.uk/about-us. I would contact their legal team.

OP - is this a charity? If so I would be contacting the Trustees to tell them of your concerns about how the charity it breaching the Equality Act etc etc

I was just about to link to Peter Daly’s article too. Start discriminating on the basis of protected beliefs is not a good look.

I think I'd be sending Andy a copy of this article by Peter Daly (Maya's solicitor) . Looks as if he's in need of a bit of educating about the law, beliefs that are WORIAD and how to live alongside people who don't agree with all his personal beliefs.

Wtf is “Transition Salisbury”?

Hmmm. People in the Park doesn't look the most packed and vibrant event....

Much better selling your products on MN, Fiona!

I hope Salisbury Transition City have interrogated every member of their member organisations for any views that Andy might find worthy of excluding?

Get busy with your thumb screws Andy! Prepare the Gulags!

Off to order a large shampoo / conditioner set as I have been meaning to try bars forever. Might buy some dog shampoo for my friends dog, too, as a little treat.

I really hope the daily Mail pick up on this!Its absolutely absurd.
I get angrier every time I see this nonsense-surely he’s breaking their own community rules by not being inclusive of women who don’t buy into the bullshit propaganda that TRA’s spout or is Andy scared?

The good news is that Fiona has had a rush of orders! Women of twitter and Mumsnet have stepped up to the plate.

So before you get ‘accepted’ to be a stall holder at this community event, your personal social media is scrutinised and you are granted a place only if your opinions align with those of a random committee member?

Ffs, more bullshit
shame on you Salisbury council

Why was my post deleted??

Have you since replied OP? Is Andy local, could you go and see him? (A face to face chat might help.)

I had only read your first post, without the end of Andy’s letter or your reply.

I think your reply is excellent and fair. He is the one promoting disharmony.

By the way, I would buy your soap too.

Definitely. Well priced, created for sensitive skins using goat's milk and beautiful ingredients, with a version for pet dogs!

Soaps, shampoos, conditioners. Lovely stuff. I have a dermatological condition and will try these.

From the last section of what they wrote to you:

"One of the central themes of the event is the
promotion of equal rights
and the freedom of people to be what they want
to be, to live in a
manner of their own choosing which does no
harm, and to love those they
wish to love. With this in mind, the event
organisers are keen to ensure
that the event is accessible to all. It is hoped
that the EMP above
reflects this desire to treat people fairly. The
organisers are always
open to ideas as how this can be improved!"

What gibberish. Where are your equal rights? It isn’t accessible to all if you are kept out. Their stance towards you does not reflect a desire to treat you fairly.
They are not presumably open to any ideas other than their own.

Sounds like time for us to be buying some soap directly from Fiona's website....

Agree with PPs, having looked at the People in the Park website, their focus is allegedly all about environmentally friendly items. They do not claim to have an agenda about views on sex/ gender.

Havel's greengrocer contemplating the window sign and Solzhenitsyn would both recognise this scenario.

We won't need an authoritarian government to impose parts of the Social Credit system on us, it will already be being done by Andy and similar self-appointed arbiters.

Andy should read the paragraph starting 'One of the central themes...' and ban himself.

He's not promoting equality, he's not promoting the freedom of women to be who they want to be, and he is doing harm.

'Transition Salisbury'? Bit on the nose, isn't it.

Can someone put this to Andy? It needs pointing out to certain people.

And of course, this professional woman hater has shown up with his lies and threats. Wouldn't be Twitter if a serial abuser couldn't make a buck off of misogyny, would it?

Your products look lovely!

Honestly I would report him to EHRC and whatever local authority licences him to put on the event (though guessing it's Wiltshire of 'untoward to paedophiles' fame). What he is doing is illegal (counter to Equality Act protection of belief).
