(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
Monday 23 September 2019 (Venue to be announced)
Doors open at 6:30pm, for 7.00pm start.

Woman's Place UK (WPUK) invites Labour Party Conference delegates to hear speakers discuss the WPUK Manifesto, focusing on women's issues. Half the tickets are available for FREE to Labour Party members.

Speaker biographies:
Dani Ahrens Founding member of Brighton Pride, a lifelong Labour activist, tweets as @rebelyarns
Onjali Rauf Founder and CEO of 'Making Herstory'
Kay Green "Socialist policy must always be based on reality." Kay Green is a socialist activist, supporting gender-critical voices on the political left.
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:

A Woman's Place statement about the claims made in Pink News following the meeting this week:

Gary Spedding, who has been making a lot of inflammatory comments about WPUK (posted earlier), is a "UK activist" who has been barred from entering Israel:

"The ban was attributed to his involvement in a March 2011 protest at Queen’s University Belfast, where Israeli law lecturer Solon Solomon had to be rescued by security officers when a seminar he was delivering at the university was disrupted by activists led by Mr Spedding."

I've not read the P* nk News article and have no intention of giving them the clicks, but those extracts in the WPUK statement are shocking!

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 30/09/2019 07:21

Agree. WPUK's response to that Pink News article is just Shock. There's not even an attempt to get the basic facts right (venue, who attended etc). Pure mudslinging.

Thanks for that link.

The comments by WPUK are nails. The calm, almost understated way of highlighting the ridiculous hyperbole and lies makes pink news, Queer AF, and everyone else they quote look quite deranged.

Socrates11 · 30/09/2019 09:22

Bloody hell Prick News just lie and lie,
then expect people to swallow it. Which does work very well for the British tabloid press so maybe they are on to something. The long term impact of untruthful and inflammatory writing is not good though. Piss poor journalism keeping citizens ignorant.

Apollo440 · 30/09/2019 10:03

Prick News make the Sun look like Pulitzer prize standard of journalism. They are just advocates and happy to outright lie for their cause.

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 30/09/2019 10:13

transphobic and whorephobic

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PRICK NEWS?

and good to read that WPUK are lodging a complaint with the police over their woeful response

WomanBornNotWorn · 30/09/2019 10:30

I have submitted a complaint to Sussex Police.

I have also sent my details to a person at SP who is in charge of the investigation, to no response.

I want an explanation for the pictures of police officers staring at their phones and standing staring into space arms folded while bellowing men kicked and punched the windows to frighten the women inside.

TiredofthisBS · 30/09/2019 10:46

It comes to something when the Sunday Sport with such gems as World War 2 bomber found on the moon is more believable than anything the Prick News prints.

SisterWendyBuckett · 30/09/2019 10:58

Well done Woman, and thank you.

CodenameVillanelle · 30/09/2019 12:09

Whorephobic is the most revolting, misogynistic fake woke term that every was coined. It needs to fucking die.

Ereshkigal · 30/09/2019 13:26

Agree, it's horrible.

stumbledin · 30/09/2019 14:26

Just an example of how woke Brighton is and the impact on women, here is a lesbian expelled from the LBGTI+++++++++++++++ choir for some unspecified crime!!

Perfect example of how policies of 'inclusion' are being used to actually exclude and bully women, especially lesbians. Disgraceful.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 01/10/2019 11:25

I remember when ‘inclusion’ meant wheelchair access...

CodenameVillanelle · 01/10/2019 11:45

Interesting. First photo was taken 20/9. Second outside BMECP after the WPUK protest. Pillars of the community or thugs to hire?

Do we know what / who?

CodenameVillanelle · 01/10/2019 13:11

No idea. I'm assuming some local thug. Interesting though that someone who enjoys being destructive and defacing charity premises would turn up at the BMECP and protest against women speaking about their rights.
Of course it's possible this tag was already on the building but I don't remember seeing it, and when I got there there were no protesters there.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 01/10/2019 14:35

They stand for nothing (and fall for anything - as the song does).

littleslummygirl · 03/10/2019 10:32

hi, anyone who made a complaint via online form heard anything back?
I haven't and am pissed off. It's 30 minute wait to get to talk to anyone so am going to fill in another form but if anyone has more direct way of contacting Sussex police?

CodenameVillanelle · 03/10/2019 11:13

Yes I had a call. I'll look for the extension number when I find where I wrote it down

WomanBornNotWorn · 03/10/2019 17:27

[email protected] is the person to contact direct. I had a response, so if you send your account of the event and your phone number you should be contacted. I specified email only for my conversations with them, but you can leave a phone number.

Not sure if this is the right place or it merits a new thread
