Venice Expelled from KLPA (Ladies Pond(

Venice has been expelled from the Ladies Pond. It means nothing really as they are just a stakeholder group, but it makes them look terrible like little authoritarian ignoramuses.

Here's Venice's tweet with their silly email. x.com/roseveniceallan/status/1795437142757532118?s=46

She'll still be able to swim, she just won't be allowed to attend the utterly pointless but entertaining AGM.

It's interesting because they sent an email round a few weeks ago asking members to agree to the constitution and if anyone failed to agree then they would be expected to leave the KLPA.

@Karensalright KLPA can only ban her from KLPA but not from the actual pond.

LA owns the pond. Venice isn't excluded from swimming in the pond. She is excluded from KLPA which is just a stakeholder group who do not have the power to exclude her from the pond. In fact this was their point when women were organising to get them to exclude men from the pond; KLPA has no power to exclude anyone because it is LA (CoL) who makes the rules.

Who actually owns this facility, if it is the LA then the equalities duty applies

I think it would be pointless tbh because they already think GC people are awful and they don't listen.

@MidnightPondSwimmer Yes it would because they had the power to ban her.

Come on, this is not surprising given her actions at the recent AGM, disrupting the meeting and essentially accusing all of them of sexual assault.

As for the poster above who thinks the right thing to do is brigade the email address, since when did we start acting like TRAs?

Ramblingnamechanger · 28/05/2024 18:48

I wonder how mass emails to that address might impact the committee.

And I could set up a stakeholder group called 'cock free ponders' which stipulated TWAM and that should be fine, no?

@Karensalright yes, and if it was the pond, run by City of London I can see how this has legs, but if KLPA is just a little optional stakeholder group who do hat sales and coffee mornings, do the same rules apply?

Discrimination on the grounds of belief IMO

The current constitution is here, and they keep trying to add in bits about twaw but it can't get voted through. Anyway, the current KLPA Committee is a cock fan club, and they believe women and girls also refers to men in the context of the constitution.

It's weird because coincidentally there have been far more reports of pervy men hanging out at the pond recently, than before.
