Thanks

Zoom novice here - is it easy enough to change how your name appears to other participants? I just want to create one for this zoom chat as I value my anonymity.

@Sarasbrownie
Use the rename function on Zoom to do this.

I'm out of the country but going to see if I'll be able to access easily
roarfeckingroarr · 09/10/2021 13:21
Brilliant. Let's hope MNHQ don't censor.

@roarfeckingroarr
They're asking for questions in advance which can be sensible for management.
jeaux90 · 09/10/2021 13:28
Excellent and exciting!! She is brilliant
JellySlice · 09/10/2021 14:01
I'd still like to know: will Julie's language be restricted, or will she be given the courtesy of being allowed to speak clearly and unambiguously?
ChocAuVin · 09/10/2021 19:12
Great to see this! 
Albgo · 09/10/2021 19:37
Will it be recorded so we can watch it later or live only?
EmbarrassingAdmissions · 09/10/2021 19:46
@Albgo
Helen Joyce's Zoom was recorded but I think the recordings are only available to Premium members.
………
Looks like I was wrong about this above: They're asking for questions in advance which can be sensible for management as this says they're only take questions on the night.

Oh good
Onyernelly · 10/10/2021 08:48
Love love love Julie
Looking forward to this !!
Mayomaynot · 10/10/2021 13:44
I'm in! I've also just managed to bag a seat to hear Julie at FiLiA, after they increased capacity. So excited!
Bibbetyboo · 10/10/2021 18:39
Does she think she undermines the feminist cause by saying Islamophobic things?
vinoandbrie · 10/10/2021 19:35
The wonderful Julie Bindel. Thank you @JuliaMumsnet can’t wait!
cariadlet · 10/10/2021 20:15
Really looking forward to this.
The Zoom chat with Helen Joyce was fantastic and I'm sure this will be just as inspiring.

@Bibbetyboo
You might have missed the OP, but you can only ask questions in the zoom meeting, on the night...
PiffleWiffleWoozle · 10/10/2021 21:35
Yey!
sarah20212021 · 10/10/2021 22:16
@Bibbetyboo
Are you mistaking her for Julie Burchill...?
Alekto · 10/10/2021 23:05
Not all women named Julie with a B- surname are Julie Burchill.
Bibbetyboo · 11/10/2021 01:11
I am mixing them up! My bad. I was surprised at the responses here!
Bibbetyboo · 11/10/2021 01:19
Then again, leans quite heavily on quite a few tropes in some of her writing. unherd.com/2018/04/many-left-wing-progressives-protest-pope-silent-islams-totalitarian-tendencies-victims-cowardice-overwhelmingly-women/?=frpo?=newuser

You find out you're thinking of the wrong person. Nonetheless, within 10 mins, you find an article that persuades you that your critical analysis of what you term "a few tropes* means that you were actually right in your original misattributed accusation? Is that your current position?
