Next up, Usain Bolt banned from race for being too good at running.

Statement from the complainers who had her removed.

I see Peter Tatchell is due to speak there........

donquixotedelamancha · 24/10/2018 18:29

The gallery for this organisation is a text book on narcissism.

OMG, you undersold it : - )

Jeremy is fucking hysterical.

Oh dear Xavier and Vijay. What a pair of woke arseholes you are

Verify2Terrify · 24/10/2018 18:34

That statement. My god. The utter nonsense & inaccurate crap spouted is just ridiculous. Not one piece of evidence to support the claims made. They were quite happy to bully the organisation to deplatform Julie but didn't want anyone knowing they were the ones who pushed for Julie to be deplatformed. And the white middle class middle aged women crap again.

What a pair of fucking spiteful drama llamas.

Couple of wee tossers there. Can't even spell Germaine Greer's name right.

OrchidInTheSun · 24/10/2018 18:38

And even more oh dear Jeremy.

Sarahconnor1 · 24/10/2018 18:41

I think Jeremy needs to answer his own question 'WHO HAS POWER OVER YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THEM?'

Yeah they wanted her de-platformed but are angry that she went public and they've been shown up as twats.

Popchyk · 24/10/2018 18:50

Utter nonsense from those self-absorbed tossers.

Funny how their "principles" didn't prevent them from stepping back from the event themselves. Clearly never occurred to them that they should be the ones to step down.

Nah, these blokes had to get together to harass the organisers in order to prevent a woman from speaking. At a free speech event.

Well done fellas. Nothing says tolerance more than men defaming, harassing and silencing a woman.

Sarahconnor1 · 24/10/2018 19:00

Yep. Men silencing women. Same as it ever was.

We see you.

Melanippe · 24/10/2018 19:11

@Babycham1979

I'm sure you didn't mean to, but you appear to have made an unfounded accusation about Ms Bindel, and failed to return to back up your slurring of her. I await your justification with baited breath.

In case you have forgotten, here is your accusation again.

Yep, very ironic for a woman who's spent her career trying to silence others with differing points of view!

StarsAndWater · 24/10/2018 19:15

I'm proud to crown artist/activist
reecelyons whose poem 'I am aWoman, and I have a penis' hasbeen seen by 2.5 million people.

I can just picture Rowan Atkinson performing it.

😂😂😂 Now I need Atkinson to come out as GC for this reason alone.

ShotsFired · 24/10/2018 19:24

That Jeremy idiot's shot himself in both feet now.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

deepwatersolo · 24/10/2018 19:33

God, these TRA complainers are ridiculous. Hate speech is not free of consequences speech, therefore we noplatformed someone from a free speech event and now we are miffed we could not further exert our influence in clandestine communications in order to keep the person noplatformed.
I almost feel sorry for this Jeremy that he allowed TRAs to discredit his event. Ah, my heart is too soft, I guess.

LangCleg · 24/10/2018 19:36

I don't! I hope he's snivelling into his poor me hankie as I type!

Ereshkigal · 24/10/2018 19:54

Hahaha this is beautiful! You couldn't make something this good up 😁

NothingOnTellyAgain · 24/10/2018 20:01

Who is "Germain Green"?????

deepwatersolo · 24/10/2018 20:01

Germaine Green? Good Lord, these people are culturally illiterate. No wonder they make no sense.

deepwatersolo · 24/10/2018 20:02

Ha, crosspost!

I’m sorry to lower the tone but that screenshot R0wan posted made me laugh out loud:

You'd expect that that poem had to be a comedy piece, wouldn't you? Who in their right minds splutter splutter gasp... ?

Juells · 24/10/2018 20:10

I don't! I hope he's snivelling into his poor me hankie as I type!

His poor me hankie! This thread is comedy gold. 🤣

It's actually better that she was no platformed, makes more of a statement than if she'd spoken.

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 24/10/2018 20:35

This is brilliant. How spineless is Jeremy!

He's now fucked up his own event by cancelling Julie to keep his TRA pals happy. Because he's such a sap, he's sent a snivelling email to Julie saying he didn't want to but they made him. Now the TRAs look like bullies so now they are saying they won't work with him ever again either. Now he has tried to get Julie back and she's said no (quite rightly). Then one of the sponsors pulls out too. And now he looks like he doesn't really support trans wholeheartedly anyway, so he's going to get a pile-on. All because he didn't have the balls to stand up to the TRAs in the first place, and tried to take the path of least resistance, secretly.

You'll know for next time, Jeremy, that unless you're 100% with them and capitulate, immediately and completely, with all their demands, no matter what they are, you're the enemy.

First they came for...

PipGoesPop · 24/10/2018 20:45

It's as if these people just simply cannot think for themselves. Oh right thanks Mr TRA for pointing out that Julie Bindel incites violence we'll no platform her straight away. Thank GOD you told us.

Also, Peter T doesn't give a shit about women imo.

Free speech my arse.
