(At one point it says it is for Labour Party Conference delegates and later on it says it is a public meeting.)

A Woman’s Place is at Conference
Public Meeting in Brighton

Kiri Tunks Woman's Place UK founder (Chair)

Woman’s Place UK was founded in September 2017 to ensure women’s voices would be heard in the consultation on proposals to change the Gender Recognition Act. We had 5 demands and we didn’t expect the campaign to last more than 3-4 months.

Thanks to the support and actions of thousands of people all over the UK we had a big collective impact on the debate and, while we don’t expect to hear the results of the consultation yet, we know that the government has heard the voices of thousands of women.

At the same time, the debate has exposed the poor state of women’s rights in the UK. We have decided therefore to develop a broader campaign on the foundations we have built.

We will keep up the pressure on the government around the GRA and on councils and organisations to uphold equality law.

But there are other battles we need to fight too.

So we have made some New Year Resolutions to help us broaden the campaign in 2019:

They can't even centre women (or acknowledge our existence!) when talking about sexism against women, specifically. WTF is this nonsense?!

That's quite extraordinary. Deciding that misogyny is bad because of how it effects men?

No wonder they hate feminists.

The demo summary on the queer af Facebook page is quite the work of fiction.

As well as saying WPUK are all fascists, it also says WPUK has a racist past. What?

India stated on Twitter that she was the woman shouting through the megaphone

Oh I missed that. Silly woman, desperately trying to score cookies

As well as saying WPUK are all fascists, it also says WPUK has a racist past. What?

I bet that's based on them inviting Posie Parker to speak before rescinding the invite. Posie has been called racist for disagreeing with young Muslim girls wearing the headscarf. (Iirc)

Stockholm syndrome I guess.

Re the 'WPUK is a Hate Group' petition:

I think every part of the meeting was filmed by WPUK (speakers not attendees). When the videos are up on you tube, every single word, point made and tone of voice will be a matter of public record that anyone can go over and see that nothing whatsoever insulting, threatening or hate-filled happened. The Labour party, critics, the police etc - anyone will be able to see the evidence.

In contrast, everyone is already able to see and hear the hateful, threatening and aggressive behaviour that the mostly older and female audience suffered at the protestors hands (and feet). The insults, shouting and attack on venue property have been widely shared as photos, videos and testimonies online.

As have videos of the police standing about watching the protestors' behaviour, the Open Letter and people's comments regarding their failure to respond to protect women. They have form, there.

The world was watching, and listening - and the comments the protestors' behaviour sparked show that the world sees them for what they are.

There is evidence and there will be more.

"all these experts agree we are real and valid in our experiences of gender or lack there of"

Unless you're a woman of course. Women are not 'real and valid in our experiences of gender or lack there of'.

But yes, can't wait for Jezza to watch the videos of the WPUK speakers, sunlight is what we're asking for.

It's very kind of whoever set that petition up to help WPUK like that.

He won’t watch. He has given the thumbs up to people like this. If they were a load of students he would listen.

A video using those Labour Party clips, plus some clips of women speaking, interspersed with the angry chanting outside would be quite telling.

biology and neurology all these experts agree we are real and valid

Biology and neurology are scientific disciplines, you utter plank, not people with opinions.

Who has said they aren't real and valid? Usual hyperbolic nonsense.

Janice Turner mentions the meeting in a section of her column today

Nicely observed.

This made me laugh:

"After Dawn Butler’s pseudo-Churchillian oratory — “if we don’t get our shit together, Boris is gonna win” -

The Brighton WPUK meeting had a Muslim speaker and took place at a BME community resource (yep, it was a BME centre those halfwits were kicking the windows of). If they were such a bunch of big ole racists how'd they manage that?

I've reported the petition for defemation. So tired of the vitriol and the lies.

Where is this 'ere petition?

Here it is. At the bottom under the reasons for signing, there is a 'report policy violation ' link.

If WPUK wish to sue the organisations listed on that petition I would be happy to help dig the hole. It would be good to have recordings of their meetings played in court. Especially the last one complete with background noise.

I would definitely support them with that, Birdsfoot

oos. I may have hit the complaints button. Sorry, but the comments got me riled up. Utter nonsense and mantra.

Besides - do they really think they can MAKE JC say something because they have a petition (and several dozen sock puppet accounts agreeing with themselves)? But then ... Labour, huh?

Of course they think they can make him - they believe entirely in compelled speech. And to be fair they got people to say that they think TWAW even though no-one really believes it.

Maybe there is a planned mass holding of breath or scweam-and-swream-until-their-faces-go-blue?
