Trans activists smoke bomb protest the metro

Trans activists have set off smoke bombs outside the entrance to Northcliffe House, HQ of the Daily Mail/Metro/Independent. Unclear if they're protesting against the Mail - or the Metro taking the advert last week - but staff leaving by side entrance.

Consensus seems to be they're protesting against The Metro, which took an anti-trans ad last week. Unfortunately Metro print edition staff don't work Fridays. (The entirely separate Metro website has also had some trouble over the sister paper taking the ad, apparently.)

And by tomorrow they’ll be pretending it was terfs pretending to be TRAs to make them look bad.

They probably already are but I don’t have time to look at Twitter right now. ( Wifework to be done.)

The journalists on Twitter already seem to be framing male violence as our fault though.

Look what we made them do!!!!

Does little OJ have anything to say about this?

At the very least this constitutes a hate crime.

There is a rule of misogyny for that. Might be rule No.1

Women are responsible for what men do.

Why is no paper reporting this?

Could someone hand the TRAs more rope, please?

India Willoughby on Twitter just now:
"Well what do you know. It’s like a scene from #TheBodyguard. Deadline seeking views on Gender Reform due to close Fri midnight. Hour ago Gov extend deadline to Mon. No explanation. Low and behold “Trans” activists smokebomb attack on Daily Mail. Stinks #GRA GMB"

Update: Protestors are now blocking both entrances. Extremely difficult to leave the building.

Seen a video now - I'm a bit confused by what looks like a banner advertising Tesco FreeFrom products, and a bloke wearing a dress made of the same material?

Spectacular outburst of narcissistic rage. Golly. They come across as so darn reasonable...

Fuck me, is India Willoughby actually blaming it on GC women? 😂 Dear god, I’ve heard it all now. Occam’s razor, love. Occam’s fucking razor.

These crackpots bang on and on about FPFW being a hate group when their sheer hatred of women is off the fucking scale! So much so they have now resorted to terrorism. Mad bastards.

Indeed. Its just really really scary tbh. I know smoke boms aren't bombs as such, but its clearly meant to intimidate the metro into now covering stuff like Karen White. I really hope the metro put this front page tomorrow, and with a link to FPFW consultation response thing. I'm guessing TRAs don't realise the consultation has been extended?

As my prostate owner has just muttered

Give em enough rope....

And yes, male violence is always womens fault. We make these men behave this way by..trying to protect our rights

Low and behold “Trans” activists smokebomb attack on Daily Mail.

TRAs are nothing if not predictable.

And that one in particular seems to be among the less intelligent, so no surprise they were one of the first to fulfil expectations.

The Canary had reported that they intended to picket the place today...they didn't mention smoke bombs though!

Stealth
what an outrageous article!

....because of course the cleaners, the receptionists, the office juniors, interns, apprentices, the person who puts the crappy crossword in there, were ALL responsible for FPFW's "oh so transphobic" advertisement.

They must be scared witless.

A group of well-reasoned women put a well-reasoned advert in a newspaper and the streets are practically RUNNING in rivers of testosterone...

And yet again I feel I have to distance myself from these f*cking clowns, because as a transsexual I get lumped in with "that lot"... and the public don't know the difference. Happy days....

...and people ask me why I stand with women and not "them"...

How stupid are they? Piss up and brewery.

I just saw on Twitter someone explaining that they weren't smoke bombs but hand held flares used to "create a mood". 

Any 'Nazis' punched yet?

ScarletBegonias Someone needs to tell them it's not pink "laydee smoke". They missed an opportunity...

Intimidation to shut down free speech of an opinion you don't like: so brave and stunning. Amazed they haven't branded themselves neo-suffragettes given how much they like to appropriate the female.

Hope it backfires and the GRA gets repealed. And the people responsible can simply carry on with their lives, wearing whatever the fuck they want, in full possession of the same rights (to marriage, to their pension etc) as everyone else, bar the right not to eradicate female only spaces.

I’m really fascinated by what must be going through IW’s head.

How did we manage to get the people running a clearly biased towards self-ID consultation to extend the deadline? Hypnosis?

Or did we realise the deadline had been extended, and on the spur of the moment used our unfairly superior organisational skills honed by years of throwing together emergency World Book Day costumes to fashion a last minute smoke bomb from Zoflora and Bombay Sapphire gin?

Or was it in fact just that a bunch of TRA fuckwits were planning to do this on the last day of the consultation all along and didn’t think to check if the deadline had been extended, despite that possibility being very very likely due to the website constantly falling over?

Seriously. I can’t figure out which scenario here is the most likely.
