Good for FSU and Liz Panton. I can't believe the arrogance of these people.

“On the 7th of May 2024 you came to the Cumberland wearing a hoody making a clear statement. Your name now appears as a parliamentary candidate to represent the Party of Women at Westminster, a party with which the Cumberland will not be associated. Accordingly you will no longer be allowed entry within the pub’s boundaries.”

Earlier this week, we received the following response from the pub’s lawyer: “I can advise you that my client has now written to Ms Panton to advise her that it has reversed its decision to bar her from the Cumberland Arms.”

FSU member successfully fights back after being banned from pub for gender critical views – The Free Speech Union

The FSU scored a significant victory this week, helping one of our members successfully fight back after she was barred from her local pub for wearing a hoody emblazoned with a gender critical slogan.

This was nicely worded

Sadly, Ms Panton’s case isn’t the first time we’ve had to step in to support people accused of having had a little too much to think.

As approx 29 pubs a week close it seems rather fucking stupid to say people with GC views aren't welcome.
Especially as the vast majority of the public agree.

Sorry, have now seen in the article they think supporting WDI is grounds for being banned!

The “clear statement” alluded to by the pub was a message inscribed on her hoody that read “Women’s Declaration International: WDI”, and was accompanied by a logo representing the same organisation. On the webpage of WDI it states that it is a “group of volunteer women from across the globe dedicated to protecting women’s sex-based rights”.

Thanks for posting this.

Had not heard this had happened.

Did they ever explained why representing PoW means you aren't suitable to be in a pub?!
