Transcript of her interrogation disciplinary interview with Labour on above link.

The term Orwellian is way overused, but I think it is actually applicable here.

Particularly noticeable to me was the insistence on not just looking at the the facts, but at what she was thinking. I didn't realise thought crime was a thing outside of dystopian fiction.

I feel sorry for Venice, it came across that Labour was very much part of who she was.

Wow!!! So dickhead and dicksplash are words you can be thrown out of the labour party for. But calling someone a cunt is just fine.

Yes and this was in a private feminist Facebook group which a transactivist lied to get into and then doxed several women from it, and Venice isn't a Labour official. It truly is thoughtcrime.

Howyoualldoworkme · 08/03/2018 16:33

That is so frightening! It reminded me of a scene from that film Brazil Sad
I hope some MSM picks it up

Was going well until "cisgender women" !

I wonder if it will make a difference? Is today, Women's Day, a turning point?

The Labour Party is run by lunatics.

"Is feminism a notion that exists in the animal kingdom?" from the transcript. Confused

Is feminism a notion that exists in the animal kingdom?" from the transcript.

‘No. And neither is left wing politics. What’s your point?’ Is what I’d had answered

harpyone · 08/03/2018 17:55

It was appalling.
The thing that creeped me out, was sking if VA’s mother agreed.
I would be hard put to not to say what that had to do with Anything and perhaps they should ask her.
Frankly stalinist.

@CuriousaboutSamphire

I had the same reaction

This has reached a point now where it is bordering on scary. This is a future government of this country acting in this way. Shock

I run a law firm and am speaking to my colleague tomorrow about offering free legal support to those affected (in their employment) by this craziness.

HairyBallTheorem · 08/03/2018 18:58

Venice, if you're reading this, well done for arguing so coherently and calmly in the face of a McCarthyite witchhunt. (And I look forward to hearing your transcript JJ - sorry you've been put through this shite too).

DarthArts · 08/03/2018 19:32

I can't understand why the press aren't jumping on that transcript.

It's absolutely purile in its intent to force a "confession".

Venice was bloody amazing.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 08/03/2018 19:41

Venice was bloody amazing

I'm properly impressed by her ability to stick to her points and remain sane and courteous in the face of such surreal and blithering questioning

THANK YOU! I wish I could be so directly helpful.

Chocolatecake84 · 08/03/2018 19:51

Oh Christ, poor Venice.

This really is terrifying. I feel like we're in a world of 1984/The Handmaid's Tale.

I am getting really scared for women.

JenniferJames · 08/03/2018 19:57

Thanks for posting mine up! I was absolutely fine at the time..l adrenaline and determination took over... but it's unpleasant listening to it now. I was VERY nervous on the train on the way down, had to have large glasses of Jack D & Coke to calm my nerves.

My son edited it to bleep out the names of the... innocent? He even bleeped out Iain McNicol. Thanks everyone for yr support.

At one point I nearly refunded the whole pot, on the day when the solicitors outlined all the risks and said it cd be very VERY expensive... but then I read a comment on here from a Mumsnetter on here.. she said she was a 'bedraggled middle aged woman' or something... and she had given up hope, but I had given her hope and the crowdfunder had given her hope. Well I had to forge ahead then, for her! :-)

"Does your mother hold these views?" (about 3/4 through)

Seriously?? We are supposed to be punished responsible for our (female) family members as well now??

Theee generations policy in N Korea... just saying ;)

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/03/2018 20:02

I didn't listen to the whole thing (sorry!) But the piece of evidence 4 about men following girls into toilets was ridiculous. You explained, with references, in great detail why you had made this statement and that it was about self ID, and the interviewer just said something like "so you were saying transpeople are a threat" without acknowledging in the slightest that you had just said something completely different.. DP and I were both Hmm and the words "kangaroo court" may have been used.

Some inspiring and brave women on here Flowers

OvaHere · 08/03/2018 20:03

Not interested in her Father's views then. I wonder why not? Hmm

KochabRising · 08/03/2018 20:04

jennifer james from another disheveled middle aged woman, thank you. People like you amaze me - I have my ideals but I do wonder if I’d be brave enough to stick my head above the parapet when it really counts. Just thank you.

Is your crowdfunder still active? I would like to donate
