It’s a great Ad. Well done to everyone involved

HermioneWeasley · 10/10/2018 21:36

Can’t think of a better use of the money I donated

MagicMix · 10/10/2018 21:38

Presumably someone at FPFW has a receipt for the ad? Can they confirm what they paid for it because as PPs have said 45 thousand seems.. um unlikely.

R0wantrees · 10/10/2018 21:42

Why should they?

MagicMix · 10/10/2018 21:44

Just to catch them all in a blatant lie.

Eh, maybe better to ignore it.

leeloo1 · 10/10/2018 21:56

Did everyone else already know that the fpfw website has pre-filled responses to the self id consultation? So you can just add your details and email it in? Genius! I've just done this, as it's made it so simple.

speakingwoman · 10/10/2018 21:58

'I spent a few minutes re-folding the Metros at my tube station this morning to make sure the ad was on top.'

Aww that’s cool....

silentcrow · 10/10/2018 21:58

Just to catch them all in a blatant lie.

Grounds for a libel challenge? I'm perfectly sure FPFW will have accurate records.

Binglebong · 10/10/2018 22:00

This is brilliant! Thank you FPFW. Love the white space (well red space) usage - so much more effective than flooding.

A lot of people, myself included, have worried about the backlash on transsexuals if we're forced to do things like this. But we are forced. Any backlash is on the TRAs, not women who fight to keep the little they have.

MistressFunbox · 10/10/2018 22:09

No one pays the rate card. It's like buying a carpet in a market India. if you pay more than half of the original quote you've been had. I mean it wasn't cheap, but I doubt they paid more than 10k.

Awks · 10/10/2018 22:19

Do they @leeloo1 do you have a link as I can't see that on their website ta

OvaHere · 10/10/2018 22:38

In a previous job I had involvement in placing large ads in publications, not in the Metro specifically, but I'd be surprised if they paid much more than 3k.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 10/10/2018 23:00

Just think of how much money was wasted on his education, only for him to make himself unemployable by being vile on twitter to women! Thousands and thousands of pounds that could have been used to fund helplines for men going through an identity crisis. It's a tragedy.

This^. In triplicate.

JeSuisPrest · 10/10/2018 23:01

@Awks here you go Smile fairplayforwomen.com/email/

I've just done mine.

nononsene · 10/10/2018 23:06

Brilliant! How do I donate?

mehithappens · 10/10/2018 23:09

I've filled out the consultation survey of the gender recognition act. It was hard work. So this ad worked for me !!!

Took the husband one and a half hours to fill in the consultation.

I did send him the link to make it easy.

Sigh

Honestly....

Binglebong · 11/10/2018 00:01

Better to do it yourself than get it prefilled. I'm hoping the prefilled clones will be automatically excluded as the green party etc have far greater reach than we do so are likely to have more sent back.

JoanSummers · 11/10/2018 00:18

Since when did trans activists start caring about women's services anyway?

They're STILL trying to shut down Vancouver Rape Relief.
They spent years trying to get rid of Michfest.
Their campaigning against any female only space has meant the end of who knows how many feminist groups, grassroots women's therapy/healing groups, womens social groups, women's festivals, and any specifically lesbian spaces.

Trans activists are happy to threaten that any womens shelter that won't take them as volunteers staff or residents should lose its funding and be forced to close. They've sneakily and purposely engineered a situation where most of these services feel forced to let males in or lose funding.

During this time of austerity they've been happy to gobble up precious funding (while women's services and LGB's struggle) then spend it on lobbying to push through changes in orgs all over the country that go against both the letter and spirit of the law, and violate the safety and privacy of women and girls.

If a crisis line or refuge said they didn't accept trans males Adrian Harrop and chums would happily and vociferously campaign for them to be closed, for staff and volunteers to be sacked. They don't give a shit about those services and they never have.

IckyPop · 11/10/2018 03:18

Have emailed thanks to Metro too.

deepwatersolo · 11/10/2018 05:30

catching someone in a blatant lie is overrated. Or does the TWAW lie have any consequences for the liars? So there.

FekkoTheLawyer · 11/10/2018 07:22

I use to place ads in the nationals - big ones in prime spaces.

£45k for a regional Metro? Not on your life. Noone ever pays rate card. Maybe they missed a decimal point.

FekkoTheLawyer · 11/10/2018 07:25

I never placed a bus ad though

FPFW full page ad in the Metro!
sportinguista · 11/10/2018 07:38

Bloody brilliant! Will do up and get Metro from bathroom to have a look in a minute.

No it will not have cost 45k, I have clients who regularly book run of press in Metro and it's nothing like that otherwise they would be likely bankrupt.

On the subject of 'nice' did you know the archaic meaning of the word nice is 'fastidious and scrupulous'? One to bear in mind as I think we are largely being nice in that sense pretty much all the time...
