bringing women's hour into it now!! Saying Jenni murry was silenced

HF: it's been happening all over, in the UK and elsewhere, and including at Woman's Hour.

nauticant · 05/12/2022 10:16

A HF bashing gathering instigates by external lobbying groups and people was held at the Guardian when she was away on business and this was withheld from her and when she learned about it HR said that it would cause trouble to make any statement.

OMG listening now and it's just more and more shocking!

Ponypitter · 05/12/2022 10:15

Amazing - will listen on catch up

Love Hadley

SapphosRock · 05/12/2022 10:13

Only men were allowed to write about women's rights!!

nauticant · 05/12/2022 10:12

HF saying that a very senior Guardian bod said, explicitly: You are not allowed to write about gender. I do not want women to be writing about gender.

This was in front of witnesses.

SapphosRock · 05/12/2022 10:12

This is so enlightening. The Guardian would happily promote trans activists but not reality based feminists.

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/12/2022 10:11

“Reality based feminists” 😂

God love her. Emma’s in a tricky spot given her treatment of Maya in that appallingly aggressive interview she did.

EB clarifying that whenever something slipped through it was nearly always in The Observer.

The degree of censorship being revealed is startling even for those of us who've been following this for years.

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/12/2022 10:09

Interesting so far. Epic timing with the Charity Commission escalation.

SapphosRock · 05/12/2022 10:08

Oh wow! She isn't mincing her words. Go Hadley.

nauticant · 05/12/2022 10:08

Whenever she wanted to write about gender identity ideology the Guardian always said no but they reasons for this always changed. The last excuse was "we don't follow other newspapers' stories".

The ban in the Guardian writing about gender identity ideology was across the board for all journalists while trans activists were platformed.

leafinthewind · 05/12/2022 10:08

She had been asking to write (or for someone to write) about Mermaids - and being told no.

PronounsBaby · 05/12/2022 10:08

Wasn't allowed to write about mermaids, but telegraph was and therefore she also want allow to follow up on it...

Emma updating that charity commission has escalated their investigation.

PronounsBaby · 05/12/2022 10:06

Compared the guardian to a partner who has suddenly become a conspiracy theorists

PronounsBaby · 05/12/2022 10:06

Jeremy corbyn and gender ideas being censored. Resignation letter leaked to private eye

nauticant · 05/12/2022 10:04

On now. Better still, it's Emma Barnett in the chair.

Circumferences · 05/12/2022 10:03

Ah if anyone could summarise I'd be extremely grateful...

ArabellaScott · 05/12/2022 09:56

Oooh, go Hadley!

Lottapianos · 05/12/2022 09:55

Damn, won't be able to listen, but hopefully can catch it later. Good for her, she will be great
