Not sure what they think they'll achieve

Fascist pigs hurt kids. It's the Miner's Strike all over again.

Oh wait, nobody got their heads smashed in and jailed for criminal damage to truncheons, so it's not quite the same.

There's an element of FAFO here, as the young people say.

You can't even try and damage police vehicles, get in police's face and wrestle them (and push repeatedly for some minutes to get the reaction you're looking for) without the buggers arresting you as if you're doing something wrong.

Exactly. I thought those coppers were very restrained!

Were they shouting "Let us go"? They weren't being held in any way so I don't quite understand what they're on about.

"Destroy the legal rights of women, homosexual people and women with trans identities!"

I swear many of them don't even understand the law enough to realise this is what they are seeking, they just want what they want and they want it now.

That's the group that Jolyon Maugham's daughter set up with some of her posh mates. She also has form for climbing up buildings to hang protest signs, I wonder if this is what she's doing while her dad is being humiliated on twitter by J K Rowling.
Strange way to spend a bank holiday but each to their own...

So long as these kids are staying far away from the more unhinged elements, like Sarah Jane Baker, that's all to the good. I see some of them are camping out overnight again. I hope there is a police presence to oversee them.

Looks like there has been some confrontation with police.

Quite🙄

Sooo oppressed 😂.

Christ, it’s so embarrassing I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

My 12 year old wants a Jaegermeister, it's literally Apartheid for the staff in Wetherspoons to stop her going in. #boycottspoonsnow !

(That's not spoon snow, for any smart arses).

So they are on the balcony above the offices of the EHRC - didn't even know there was a branch in Glasgow.

Chanting "End Segregation" like they are in the Jim Crow south, rather than members of a group that have had the sympathetic ear of Scotland's politicians, voluntary sector, health service and schools for well over a decade.

Still, this will get them the visuals they want, being manhandled into police vans etc.

End segregation? The absolute fuckwits

keeping men out of women’s spaces is no more segregation than keeping adults out of things designed for children or able bodied people out of things designed for people with disabilities

im childless - should I be able to self identify as a mother and barge my way into things designed for mothers like breast feeding groups claiming segregation if they say no? or should I accept that not every space is for me? Something TRA seem unable to do

I hope they have surrounded them with SOPEP barrier cushions, to soak up the wee.

(That's to stop oil spills from rigs and ships).

Well I’ve just cringed myself inside out, so that’s a bit of an achievement!
