Miriam Cates was due to speak at the NatCon conference in Brussels tomorrow, on the topic of "Save The Children!"
The conference has been shut down because the Mayor will not tolerate the far right.

Here is a tweet to GB news discussing why the conference was shut down:

I'm putting this here because I know a lot of GC feminists support Cates - I don't, and this stuff is why. She is awful.

Neither. Just raising awareness for people who may assume "bad faith" when posters say they don't like her.

Apologies - I hadn't looked at who had started the thread. It all becomes clear now. I shan't be posting on this thread again.

Do we know if Cates will be voting tonight on banning smoking and therefore saving children?

I don't 'support' Cates. I do support freedom of speech. Closing a conference in this way is disgraceful. If anything illegal was said then arrests should be made afterwards.

This is a time when protests by people supporting terrorist organisations are allowed to protest in the name of free speech across Europe.

Either we support freedom of speech within the law or we don't, it applies across the board.

So is the point of your post to tell off feminists who may have agreed with something that Cates has said? Or to pretend that GC women are actually all far right loons?
