👏👏👏

I know absolutely nothing about advertising costs.

Adrian is having a frothy retweeting tantrum right now. The rage is palpable.

Ah ok, he’s got it off the metro rate card. No one pays the rate card price. The number of things he is ignorant of continues to mount.

It will have been a few grand at most.

Like I said, I’ve paid £3000 for similar and never more than £5.5k.
I wasn’t involved in the booking but I know that’s how much it cost because I was surprised.

Where did he get that figure from?

I wonder if its maybe the amount that was raised for the FPFW campaign that they were crowdfunding for? Seems oddly specific.

I've just made a donation. I'm sick of feeling impotent on this issue.

These women mean business.

Nevermind. Took me far too long to come back and finish that short post

Ive emailed them to sat thanks too amd will make a donation.

Top work!

Also that’s the rate card for display advertising. I haven’t seen the paper but based on the comment by @Charley50 it’s a classified ad, therefore cheaper.

Love it. Shame about the negative twitterati. I hope some other press court then with cheap rates.

We can make Harrop a happy man by pointing out that he's lying about the amount spent and as a result must donate a matching amount to a women's rape crisis service. (Isn't that what normally happens when he's caught lying?)

I can just imagine Dr Pillock's face reddening and his head exploading with rage

Has anyone seen the story Metro News shared on their Twitter, titled "A Trangender Man's Journey To Becoming Himself"? I wonder if they've put it in there so when the inevitable backlash from the TRAs comes they can point it out and say "but we're inclusive, we just advertise what we're paid to advertise"

A big step for WOMEN though on a day where I felt particularly despondent

Make him donate it to FPFW

How do we donate to them?

Jesus fucking Christ there isn't enough brain bleach in the world for that #girlslikeus hashtag 🤭 Truly truly disturbing

I don't care how much it cost. And I'll be happily funding away for more.

I no longer contribute to women-erasing charities. Nor do I any longer contribute to grant-making charities providing £££s to women-erasing organisations or other safeguarding nightmares.

I have plenty of fivers and tenners to give.

If the only way you can compute this is to regress into paranoid conspiracy theories - not. my. problem. The Moon Landing happened, by the way. And, although it may come as news, the Earth is a sphere.

Ps as an aside I did notice a few very visible trans on my way into Bham this morning - not normally what you see at 9am on the Hagley Road. Wonder if there is some kind of event planned?

Dr AH now retweeting claims that the Metro has been referred to the ASA. Anyone got any info on this?

ASA are there to make things legal, decent, honest and truthful. I can't see an issue?!

Oh, and sure enough Dr Pillock has just popped up in the comments section of said article:

Do you have any idea how hypocritical it is for you to run a story like this after you have, on the very same day, acted as a platform for the nationwide distribution of hateful, transphobic propaganda from #FPFW

The American Christian Fundamentalists? FFS. They really can't cope with the idea that it's just ordinary women, or that many of those women are actually lesbians and so are probably unlikely to be Christian Fundamentalists. Christ... I just... I can't get my head around people being such black-hole levels of dense, I really can't. By blocking even the slightest dissenting voice, they've locked themselves into an echo chamber, and I think we're starting to see the effects of that now -- the TRA voices on Twitter seem to be getting more irrelevant with every passing day. Block lists were always going to prove to be a terrible idea.

Dummy
Spat
Out

Also I've just donated to WPUK - quite happy to contribute to anything which will continue to repeat 'the emperor has no clothes on!!'

How do we donate to them?

There are details on the Fair Play for Women website. I don't think we're allowed to link directly to the donations section, but their website is easy enough to find.
