i Newspaper - Speaking freely on Mumsnet

[frazzled1]

In today's 'i'.
Thank you Roger!

It's good to see these things appearing

Well said that man.

WE ought to be quoting that law a LOT more in our dealings with these people, and the press etc.

I think that may be referring to Article 11

I know about these things now, thanks to Mumsnet.

Spectator.

Just posted on the James Kirkup thread. Good to see free speech mentioned in another 'paper following Justine's actions.

What a great article, James Kirkup has been such a star in all this!

Cheers, Rog!

Thanks Roger!!!

Brilliant news.

Great to see - but telling that it's only when men speak out, people listen. And I bet they don't get a fraction of the abuse women commentators have to suffer...

Thanks Roger and James!

(But sadly YY to this stuff only being listened to when it's men that say it.)

That's nice to see.
Thanks for the link Melamin.
I find James Kirkup seriously impressive on the subject of the GRA and the silencing of women's concerns.
He's written some great stuff lately - think I'll get a subscription to The Spectator just to support him!

I was quite tempted myself after readying his article, albeit mainly because the next article was about how Jeremy Paxman has become a "National Bore"

I 'heart' Roger from Macclesfield!

Thank you, James.

Penis Beaker was 2013??!

Good for Mr Kirkup. :)

Thank you, Roger from Macclesfield, and James Kirkup.

Spot on! Why should it fall to Mumsnet of all places to be the last bastion of free speech?! Isn't that what Parliament is for?!

Nice one Rog!
I owe you a pint, mate.

Thank you Roger.

If I recall correctly some unsung suffragette heroines were from Macclesfield.
