(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:

Glad to hear it woman.

I'm delighted that the leader of the NEU was there and appears to have found it useful. Very hopeful this will have an impact on education in the longer run.

Their own website needs some work Hmm

MrsSnippyPants · 23/09/2019 21:35

Flowers and Gin to you all!
I'm going to spend the next hour retweeting!

NeurotrashWarrior · 23/09/2019 21:37

Sorry general secretary, Kevin Courtney

aliasundercover · 23/09/2019 21:40

Well done to all who attended, I hope you made it home safely.

It sounds like aa good evening apart from the not very feminine behaviour going on outside.

WomanBornNotWorn · 23/09/2019 21:43

Kudos to the doorman on duty - friendly, kind, and put himself between our smallish group and one enormous bloke who had managed to get round and was trying to confront us. No incident but I would like to thank him if I knew who he was.

KatvonHostileExtremist · 23/09/2019 21:44

Christ. It looked awful.

So intimidating and scary for all in that meeting.

The TRAs really really ought to realise this makes them look like absolute thugs. It is totally counter productive. But I guess they are too batshit to understand that.

NeurotrashWarrior · 23/09/2019 21:50

Film from outside; very intimidating.

littlbrowndog · 23/09/2019 22:21

Wtaf were the police doing. I saw Julie bindel on twitter showing what was happening , the police wer3 doing nothing while the thugs were screaming and kicking windows

Silencing women

LangCleg · 23/09/2019 22:34

Once again, I am unable to type a sensible post without it being a candidate for deletion. Sick of this.

Oldstyle · 23/09/2019 22:40

So pleased to hear that you are safely out and recovering/relaxing/ranting in the pub. That was an extraordinary display of misogyny by the protesters and the police. Solidarity to the lot of you. Flowers

ThePurported · 23/09/2019 22:45

Shameful.

Kathleen Stock on Twitter:
@Docstockk

Sitting in #wpuk meeting with bunch of left wing activists and fighters for gay rights from the 80s, listening to the wonderful
@ rebelyarns who helped set up Brighton Pride, also listening to a bunch of middle class kids trying to kick in the windows while police do nothing.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 23/09/2019 22:56

Where was the venue? Can anyone give a rough thumbs sketch of the type of person who was in the ‘protest’? (Kind of reminds me of the old school football hooligans). I am assuming young males with the odd blue-haired wee lassie trying to gain approval?

OccasionalKite · 23/09/2019 23:11

Been reading the Twitter messages via women posting on Spinster.

One poster on Spinster mentioned doing something that is unmentionable on Mumsnet, for the benefit of WPUK.

Redshoeblueshoe · 23/09/2019 23:14

Unmentionable ? Can't be swearing then Grin
Thanks OK

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 23/09/2019 23:23

Being quiet?

Somerville · 23/09/2019 23:25

Hole digging?
I can’t help with that effort elsewhere until Kate Scottow’s hole is complete but after that I will.

WomanBornNotWorn · 23/09/2019 23:27

Apparently someone put £200 behind the bar for attendees to have drinks afterwards!

Somerville · 23/09/2019 23:30

I saw that - fantastic of whoever did that!

Good for them!

TerfTalk · 23/09/2019 23:34

This needs to be on the main boards. It's unbelievable.

OccasionalKite · 23/09/2019 23:37

But seriously - footage from that WPUK meeting tonight shows a mob outside, beating and kicking on windows, untroubled by the police; because there is a meeting taking place inside for the purpose of discussing women's rights.

A meeting for the purpose of discussing women's rights.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 23/09/2019 23:37

Who will police the police?

No, really...
