And it looks like she wants to set up a campaigning group

Delurking to add to the praise for the Baroness. I also had a personal response. She's really impressive.

TheWord I asked her not to use my name for personal reasons and she said 'No names will be published, it's against the Law and discourteous too.'

that's good to know - thank you

Signed and shared the petition.

What exactly is the call of arms for? What are we being called to do?

I set up a twitter account purely to retweet/like pro women tweets. I'm not particularly "wordy" BlushHmm so struggle to convey the message myself!

Roseburn · 21/07/2020 14:17

I got a personal email from the Baroness! She thanked me twicely - for joining up and writing to the Booker. I'm all aglow :)

Wolfgirrl · 23/07/2020 17:51

Have you all received the follow up email and attachments?

Binterested · 23/07/2020 18:02

No, not yet.

Given how closely the Misogynist Monitors are likely to be watching these threads (waves) maybe it’s better not to go into too much detail here.

Roseburn · 23/07/2020 18:07

Received here.

Wolfgirrl · 23/07/2020 18:09

Sent from her secretary so make sure you check junk etc.

cheeseismydownfall · 23/07/2020 18:16

I've just received it...

Smellbellina · 23/07/2020 18:24

I’ve emailed although I wasn’t really sure what to put!

Agree.

SheWhoMustNotBeHeard · 23/07/2020 18:32

Yes. Got it.

teawamutu · 23/07/2020 18:42

I have it too.

My one query is that my mp is pretty good at responding to email, so I'd be minded just to write and forward the attachments. What do you think?

Wolfgirrl · 23/07/2020 18:43

@teawamutu maybe you could email and then phone to say it needs urgent attention?

teawamutu · 23/07/2020 18:44

Or ask for an appointment - yes, can do.

TedsFederationRep · 23/07/2020 18:52

I've got it too. I've already managed to establish a good rapport with my local Tory councillor (male, openly GC) and he'd happily be onto this if he's not already. My MP knows my views but heaven forfend that she should feel left out...

HandsOffMyRights · 23/07/2020 19:06

I've got the email and I will be reporting for duty.
I think the letter was circulated on Twitter.
It's a little hard as I work in education, but will work around it.

My MP alreàdy knows me. She seemed fairly on board when we met, but doesn't respond to my emails now....her male aide was a bit dodgy though, wouldn't look out of place in a a Challenor line up, and wondering if he's intercepting my emails.

spongedog · 24/07/2020 01:55

Received it here as well.

TedsFederationRep · 24/07/2020 14:02

The Baroness retweeted this from Glinner the other day.

Did anyone else know that the BBC had quietly stepped away from Mermaids? I certainly didn't (but then, if I was looking for unbiased reporting, the BBC is possibly the second-last place I would look, after RT).

teawamutu · 24/07/2020 15:24

Mailed my MP, name-dropping the Baroness and attaching all the materials. Asked for an appointment. Will report back.

SabrinasCat · 25/07/2020 09:51

Am I missing something? I can’t get through on email. I keep getting a bounce back message. I’m trying: [email protected]

The 'e' is important. Like the 'e' in 'women' rather than some random letter like 'x'. Grin
