I wasn't expecting that flag when I opened the link Smile

ahagwearsapointybonnet · 02/03/2020 15:07

OMG ShockGrin Please tell me that is real, and staying up!

WickedlyPetite · 02/03/2020 15:08

Totally shocked.

This is good.

I'm working near Southport tomorrow, I will be paying a visit to see it with my very own eyes.

SapatSea · 02/03/2020 15:11

Perhaps they are unaware of the "consequences". Was not expecting that flag!

Fleamaker123 · 02/03/2020 15:12

That won't be up for long Hmm

GCAcademic · 02/03/2020 15:33

They'll be making a grovelling apology by the end of the day, I guarantee it.

Thelnebriati · 02/03/2020 15:44

Unfortunately the person who runs their Twitter account doesn't think biology is real so this is going to get ''interesting''.

They got thoroughly ratioed on the endometriosis post, so maybe that will give them pause for thought.

Violetparis · 02/03/2020 16:01

There are tweets now asking them to take down the flag, the more publicity the better, I think.

FrogsFrogs · 02/03/2020 16:03

Agree flag burnt and grovelling soils in 3,2,1...

They say they will fly iwd flag not sure if there is one? Think they've been had by a GC person on the inside, very much doubt they intended a political statement...

(Woman= adult human female is a political statement!!! How the fuck did we get here)

GCAcademic · 02/03/2020 16:06

The louder the paroxysms of outrage the better, as far as I'm concerned. Better still if it gets taken down, the press will pick up on it then. More sunlight never serves the TRA cause well.

ErrolTheDragon · 02/03/2020 16:06

There is an IWD flag, which has a stylised Venus logo in the design.
here's a nice example...

Ruddy marvellous.

Cwenthryth · 02/03/2020 16:10

Interesting that they haven’t promoted this on their own Twitter account, as far as I can see.

talking about paroxysms of outrage a certain doctor is not very happy.

Imnobody4 · 02/03/2020 16:11

Is this actually real?? On their Twitter they've got a mention of LBGT fostering and adoption week, however. (Is it just me or should we just declare the entire decade a celebration of LBGT. LBGT garden design week, LBGT road safety month. I'm really really bored now. Sorry for rant.)

Cwenthryth · 02/03/2020 16:15

Video - looks real

Screenshots for posterity/non-Twitterers, as I think we can all see how this will go.

Their official feed also mentions ovarian cancer and a 'person's' chance of survival Hmm

BustedWench · 02/03/2020 16:17

Harrop reaction is gold

SarahTancredi · 02/03/2020 16:20

Someones angry Grin

YgritteSnow · 02/03/2020 16:21

Can you SS Harrop? He has me blocked.

Datun · 02/03/2020 16:22

Dear lord, Harrop sounds positively unhinged.

As an aside, I really hope that people like WPUK, Fairplay for women, Posey Parker, etc, can at some point, take legal action over being described as hate groups. I'm sure it's utterly defamatory.

And if they take those flags down based on the fact that some twit on Twitter is saying they represent a hate group, I hope the council get sued.

The dictionary the definition of women is not the prerogative of any group, for fuck's sake.

Wankery.

MummBraTheEverLeaking · 02/03/2020 16:33

Just saw a tweet from someone saying they called complaining and the council says the flag will be taken down in the next 20 minutes Shock

They were the second call apparently. That's all it takes, 2 calls to kowtow to bullies. It was good while it lasted.

And the council twitter account also refused to use the word woman while tweeting about endometriosis because they wanted to be "inclusive" Angry

Kit19 · 02/03/2020 16:36

im Just laughing as the sunlight continues to pour in.....they really have no idea how bad they look
