Thank you @JonnnyBest

Best not West aaaaaarrrghhhhh!!!!!!

Go Johnny

Thank you Jonny! Another fantastic piece from a true ally.

This, times one million:
It’s important to be clear and to name what is happening: grassroots women’s organisations seeking to meet and discuss important issues in public policy — issues that are currently open to public consultation and which directly affect the safety of women and girls — are being subjected to vilification and lies. Furthermore, their legal right to assemble is being obstructed by people in positions of authority and responsibility.

Excellent piece.

Oh I adore him what's he said now

That's incredible - brill ant brilliant. Named all the guilty parties.

So welcome to Leeds, women. Just remember while you’re here that the City Council is happy to pimp you on the piss-stained streets of Holbeck, but you’re not allowed to assemble and discuss your rights

Pls count this as my Medium applause as I am nor a member

Ha, x post. How did I not see that? 😬

Fantastic article.
The attempts to silence women are sickening.

Hi. Actually, I was in Manchester for the meeting with Posie, Jean Hatchet, Ann Ruzylo, Hannah Clarke and Julia Long. While I was there, the news came through about what had happened in Leeds...

Hi Jonny, damn fine journalism, thank you friend

Hello Jonny :)

Cake for Jonny

Cheers, Charliethefeminist

Fine piece of writing, and quickly done too!!

LiverpoolReSisters And with a nasty hangover

I'm sure!!

So great to see men like him on our side and writing about it. He seems a lovely guy and he totally gets it. And, though he doesn’t get the same amount of flack that women get, he’s still sticking his head above the parapet, knowing what the potential consequences are. Thank you for your courage and integrity Johnny.

nauticant tune

Thank you, jonny, great article.

Amazingly powerful piece.

I can't believe this is the UK in 2018.

Sorry I misplaced and misnamed you Jonnny but thanks again!
