Woo hoo WPUK Labour conference meeting

[Charliethefeminist]

I hear on the grapevine this will take place September 25. Go Woman's Place UK! Not the official Labour fringe but right on the doorstep.

Is it going to be barricaded by woke bearded types who think they are left wing?

Hope the Liverpool Resistance is ready

The woke beardy dudes will be aflame with righteous indignation

This could be fun

Last year the Laura Kuennsberg (the BBC political editor) had to have her own security at the Labour conference because of threats. This year there are worries about the safety of Jewish MPs at conference. Presumably, given the proven history of abuse, intimidation and violence that the TRAs / mysogynists on the left have aimed at women meeting to discuss the erosion of women's rights and the safeguarding of children, there will be a real need for effective security?

And all this from a party allegedly hoping for power

Any confrontation they provoke would be out on the street in front of the cameras, and involve a load of angry blokes and a bunch of women handing out biscuits.

Where is this? Is it a closed door/labour only members meeting with WPUK or a WPUK meeting right beside labour conference?

And all this from a party allegedly hoping for power

Quite. This is the number one issue that is stopping me from voting Labour. The bullying, silencing, threats and intimidation. What kind of party needs security at its conferences to protect journalists from its members, and to protect its members from each other? It’s an utter disgrace.

It's like a normal WPUK meeting I think.

Good point, tiredandweary. What a terrible state of affairs for the Labour party to be in, when a BBC journalist, Jewish people and women are have to think about their security when attending a political conference. Be careful, ladies...

On a lighter note:
Thank you WPUK ! Feminist champions, courageously & tirelessly defending women's rights! Congrats on getting the message out there! Cheers

So we can all go.

So do you think they'll forego blocking the entrance / stairs and leave the masked men, the dogs, and the violence at home?? . How on earth will they get their views across???

Wait... I know .......they'll photograph all attendees and contact their employers asking for them to be sacked. Phew - I was worried that they might have to engage in actual democratic debate for a change.

Should invite Jess Bradley and Stella Creasy, hell, all of them. Let them come and listen.

As there will be about 5000 international journalists there, they may just feel a bit constrained. Not promising though.

I just tweeted Jess Philips to suggest she pops over to Coventry and chats to people on the street there.

I can't see anything on WPUK twitter a/c - do you have a link OP?

What is the WPUK link with labour?

I would be interested in attending, but couldn't do Blair and can't do Corbyn.

It's not officially announced yet but will be

I am so there!

It's not officially announced yet but will be

Then why are you discussing it here? Presumably they aren't announcing it yet due to the climate of violence surrounding these meetings, and you've now given the TRAs a significant head start in mobilising opposition? Why didn't you just wait until the official announcement was made?

Wow! I may go.

Liverpool is a big place but suggesting it's next door to the conference is bad form.

Me too. Interested in hearing more.

Why are you announcing it?
I hope WPUK have been left with time to sort out their security etc. now.

Bump: announced on Twitter! Vamos!
