Speakers Corner 26 March

Of course women are arguing for exclusion of all male people from their single sex spaces and sports. We all know you are against single sex spaces and sports for female people, Mishy, but women are still allowed to argue for it without other people being threatening or worse. Have you see the 'worse' from the last few days? Not just referring to KJK and the liquid thrower, but also the woman who was punched into hospital and the video of the 'protesters' and the police outside the Lesbian project.

Really, Mishy, start denouncing those thugs on your side like you keep expecting KJK to denounce neo nazis who turned up at her rally, not in support of her btw, but to fight with transactivists.

No. They are arguing for exclusion. Of course there is a right to free speech. There is also a right to criticise that speech. LGBT people and their allies are simply objecting to the speech expressed. The police are there to ensure no-one gets hurt in the process. There is no right to free speech without criticism. That applies to both sides. It just appears that there are not too many gender criticals to make a louder voice, than there are those who oppose their views.

This is ridiculous isn’t it - never mind having access to single-sex spaces and services; now women are not even allowed to say that they want them.

MetPolice say everyone can come and go as they please. So that means that they won’t do anything unless a woman is brave enough to try to leave and risk being attacked - knowing that the police won’t be near enough or quick enough to stop her being seriously hurt if it all kicks off. Despite the clear threats - which are an offence in themselves.

Just watched the video. Brilliant. Well done to Venice and everyone that was there. Great speeches. Well done to DJLippy for finding that speech by Hilary Clinton (does that mean Hilary Clinton is aligned with fascists now?). I got emotional with all the singing and joined in this morning at home.

I would have loved to be there, but family commitments meant there was no way I was able to travel all the way to London. I’ll be there for the next one.

I'd recommend taking some ear defenders/ear plugs. My ears were ringing for hours afterwards yesterday.

I mean, now I know its my human rights an all...

Me too!

Have megaphone, will travel. 😁

@TangledUpinBlu Iast time I went I left the pub about 8pm, there were still women there, though the group starts thinning from about 6.

I’m away that weekend, annoyingly.

The next one is 30th April 12 pm at the Reformers Tree.

What day is the next one. KJK needs a welcome home.

It starts at 1, I’m not sure what time the pub usually finishes though.

Can anyone advise what time it usually starts/ meet up before hand and also end time leaving from pub is generally?
I will be there next month and need to book train tickets from the midlands, if anyone else is thinking about it and needs a meet up/travel partner feel free to pm me.
Return fare on the Sunday is £48 at the moment so not too bad.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I am an old woman and easily confused

It looks like they're all safe and in the pub now twitter.com/roseveniceallan/status/1640045153325858819?s=46&t=SPorwN-mokktL467rcZ57g

I have to say I heard it as

'People can come and go as they please'

Which the surrounded women obviously can't do, so it still is a shit response from the PC, but slightly less bad than 'have a go'

Just seen a transcript interpreting it as 'people can come and go as they please'

Which would be less 'people are entitled to do what they want to women' and a bit more 'I cant see anything' denial and gaslighting.

So more or less the same thing, just with lies.

The wonderful "Women's Rights Are Human Rights" singalong.

What'll you bet if women kettled TAs, the police would not stand around wittering about 'people can have a go as they please' but be arresting?

Sick and tired of the reliance on women just constantly being the good guys who can be treated like shit because you can rely on them to maintain appropriate behaviour whatever the provocation.

Thank you to the brave women and other supporters who were there. Am too far away to ever get there really myself.

As much use as a bag of arseholes.

"People can have a go as they please" at women arguing for their equality.

You heard it straight from the mouth of a London Cop folks.

A big THANK YOU to all the women who attended today,
The whole situation is utter madness and I can hardly believe this is reality,
Keep strong everyone,

Sorry should have posted the link to Glinner's conversation with the police officer.

I'm so glad you are safe.
And the videos of women being surrounded and drowned out by those trans activists is louder than any megaphone....
