Kelly-Jay currently being arrested in Leeds

[BettyFloop]

She's live streaming on YT

quite a lot of women care about women’s rights dear

Yes, 14 of them in Leeds it appears.

@SorryImKnew

A small protest, maximum publicity.

Publicity? Do you think it will make any headlines?

It's a good job you find it insignificant. Imagine how much you would post about it if you thought it was newsworthy

There was some press there apparently.

I was thinking about attending, if I'd known there was going to be such a kerfuffle I definitely would have gone!

Hahaha well if anyone can make a headline it's Kellie-Jay. And yes, I would think it'll get plenty of coverage.

Is Kelly-Jay someone about whom we should know something? I will google her.

@SmudgeButt

Well I've googled and still have no idea who Kelly-Jay is. So maybe not so legend as some might think.

She is an absolute legend in my book. Maybe your google is broken?? You may be familiar with her work I 😍 JKR

Some of the women arrested are Leeds Spinners and Leeds ReSisters. The video is shocking

Do you think it will make any headlines?

Posie makes headlines all the time. You seem jealous or is that you Adrian? The video of her on Sky news discussing one of her other campaigns would suggest she is in fact quite clever at gaining the most attention for the smallest effort possible. She’s a smart cookie alright. She made Adrian look so stupid on national tv

And nearly 5000 so far on the livestream

Well they don't appear to have any mission statement or slogans or anything, so you'd be forgiven for thinking WTF and not noticing them. Strange effort.
Had to laugh at the two women (presumably buskers) who showed up with musical instruments in cases and were like eh 'wtf?'

How interesting, the rush and effort to remind us all how very unimportant and insignificant this all is. Kind of steps on the point really.

The only Kelly-Jay I could find on googling was a deceased, bearded, Canadian rock star. Never heard of him either.

SorryImKnew

Do you not believe in women’s rights then? The right to gather to discuss their rights? The right to protest? The right to have spaces away from men? No? Just a nothing cause, the rights of half the population then?

SorryImKnew

Probably best you dont waste any more time on this thread then seen as its just so insignificant.

I'm an adult human female actually, so no, not an Adrian I'm afraid. I was lured in by the - 'ooh - somebody arrested - let's see what for'. Bitterly disappointed I'm afraid.

Try Kellie-Jay or Posie Parker. Or just follow the youtube links.

I don't believe in her transphobia no. Prostitution I can get behind - absolutely. But she needs to take one issue at a time, and I think the transphobic element might put normal women off.

Here you go Jess I put her name in and this comes up immediately.

People who can’t find by googling must have the internet skills of a someone who arrived in a time machine from 1950.

Small protests are totally normal. It’s how grass roots movements operate.

might put normal women off.

WTF is a normal woman?

It will get people talking - already has. And you have just added to it so thank you for that.

She's not transphobic. Clearly you don't know anything about her or the campaigning she does.

Can we move on?

Nothing in particular, then again, I'm not a rebel without a cause.

Well sure, if you don't think the erosion of women's rights and safeguards for children isn't a cause. You are in the minority on that one though. Wrong side of history so to speak.
