IMPORTANT NOTICE - It is with regret that we have to announce that our meeting in Leeds cannot go ahead due to late and unreasonable cancellation. We will be emailing attendees shortly with more information. We condemn this act of silencing women. More to follow.

LEEDS - also gangs of men grooming and raping young girls

Ginazon · 28/09/2018 18:08

I’m also ashamed of my city. I’m on my way in to join them.

I don't know anything about the kind of thing you can ask through FOI - but what was the date/time of the complaint, and who made the decision about when to cancel, would be interesting. If the council waited until the last minute to cancel it would be a bad look.

Fermats: "Leeds is beginning to look like the women hating capital of the UK."

That could be their strapline, couldn't it? "Come to Leeds - the woman-hating capital of the UK"!

There really is a concerted attempt to silence women now: if you're banned from Twitter, banned from advertising on billboards, banned from speaking in public, deleted if you comment on the Guardian, how many options do you have left? I suppose it's only a matter of time before they ban us from speaking in the street with a megaphone. Or, next stage, without one.

You can ask for information held about and correspondence regarding WPUK etc

CecilyNeville · 28/09/2018 18:13

They should hold the meeting where they are, right there on the steps! It's a nice big space; they might get a crowd gathering.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 28/09/2018 18:14

Leeds is no place for women...

PlonitbatPlonit · 28/09/2018 18:14

I think that's the plan! See twitter for some lovely purple-white-green decorations of the civic hall.

Ereshkigal · 28/09/2018 18:15

Agree. Megaphone. Leeds town hall or Hyde Park.

Women are assembling at

Leeds Civic Hall
Calverley Street

Go, you brave majestic buggers, you. I am delighted to see on twitter that you've plastered the civic hall with suffragette colours

SunsetBeetch · 28/09/2018 18:24

Go, you wonderful women! Turn the negative into a positive again!

Sarahconnor1 · 28/09/2018 18:26

Pansexual humanist Richard helped make this happen.

Go you, you raging misogynist.

Good for them! Own goal by the Council.

Tolerance zone for sexual exploitation.

NewWomensMovement · 28/09/2018 18:32

God that Richard looks dodgy.

QuilliamCakespeare · 28/09/2018 18:33

Twats. Ring 101 and log it as a hate crime. Apparently that's what we do when anyone wants to speak their opinion now so it should work both waysAngry

Green Party member, his pronouns are they and them...

ToeToToe · 28/09/2018 18:36

That vile Richard has been all over Twitter recently. A real woman hater, that one.

Let's hope his sordid little victory doesn't backfire the way Posie's poster removal did Wink

"their plan was uncovered" he sounds like thinks he's Sherlock Holmes.
What a time to be alive!
