Greene Pub AKA old boys club kicks out women with ‘thoughts’ again

They will soon be in the news again, and we are still waiting for their last ‘investigation’ in October for kicking women out of one of their pubs for wrong thought

twitter.com/greenekingcares/status/1497994735503527938?cxt=HHwWhMC-0c6R-ckpAAAA

“Hi there, please could you send us a DM with some more information on this so we can get this looked into? Thankyou.”

Because

Dr EM @ PankhurstEM
“We have been ordered to leave, no woman can get served, and they sent men in uniform to brighten our evening.. hello officers!”

If you can, go see the tweets and the images. The only chink of saving grace is the feed back to their tweet (the first link here) is mostly appalled at the pubs behaviour

But ffs some absolute muppets questions, oooo maybe it’s a men only club (but who needs definitions of man / woman, sex, discrimination, the current year!)

twitter.com/NichtUeberzeugt/status/1498005271766921219

“Can someone clarify or point to a tweet clarifying what exactly happened? If it’s just a men’s only space, I don’t see the problem. If it’s open to all, then…”

Bit more background here is Greene Kings response to Obsolesence after they tweeted in support

twitter.com/greenekingcares/status/1498004549264723976?cxt=HHwWkMC-7ezM_ckpAAAA

“Hi there, we have contacted the original complainant regarding this so we can collect some further information and get this looked into. Thank you for bringing this to our attention today.”

“What do we have here? Another @greeneking pub kicking women out of a pub for...(checks notes)...being women? I wonder if their barstaff will go online and call the women c*s like ours did?

So they decided that because a woman who you don’t agree with comes in with a crowd of other people, you call the police? Seriously?

I thought drag queens were supposed to be ‘fe-erce grrrrrrrl’.

VaddaABeetch · 28/02/2022 20:36

You would think a big group of women willing to but would be a good thing for a pub. Sadly the see women had their own thoughts & quite possibly their own opinions.

Or maybe the DQ couldn’t cope with all those women looking womanly (big small fat thin old middle aged young). around the DQ?

ItsLateHumpty · 28/02/2022 20:38

Sorry, to clarify, there was a similar kicking out in October, this was Feb 28th, City of Quebec pub. Greene King seem to be concerned but as they never fed back from their last investigation, I’m not convinced of their sincerity.

I was not there, this is all from tweets primarily from Dr EM @PankhurstEM who was there and Obsolesence @Obsolesence; both are names I trust to report this.

Silly wee twerps.

KittenKong · 28/02/2022 21:08

Some of these reviews are pretty blunt.

So it has been a gay bar for a long time - Mostly older gay men by the looks of it until the ‘new crowd’ moved in. They sound awful.

I spent a lot of time on lesbian and gay bars/nightclubs in my younger years and NEVER felt unsafe or threatened. Nor did I even encounter a male in the ladies loos (with the exception of the odd teary/harassed young man who had been whisked in by other women for their own safety when they were being hassled by a odd bloke). What’s changed?

@KittenKong

According to post by @VaddaABeetch it was the Drag Queen performer who had issues with them"

"The group were leaving by the time the police were arriving. There was a Drag Queen setting up who made noises that they shouldn’t be there.

Info from Gender Critical Facebook Group"

KittenKong · 28/02/2022 22:17

Bet that have a lovely and tasteful stage name… who puts on lunchtime drag?

SevenWaystoLeave · 01/03/2022 09:53

They vandalised the Pride flag. What for the love of god do you expect to happen if you go into a gay pub and vandalise the Pride flag.

ShrillSiren · 01/03/2022 09:58

Let's see some proof then... It's easy enough to add links.

SevenWaystoLeave · 01/03/2022 10:03

Pictures all over twitter, they stuck anti-trans stickers all over the Pride flag. If they're claiming anything otherwise they are telling bald-faced lies.

ScreamingMeMe · 01/03/2022 10:32

That doesn't help. Can you link some tweets or post some screenshots, please?

ScreamingMeMe · 01/03/2022 10:33

(I definitely don't condone vandalising a Pride flag. That's just inflammatory.)

KittenKong · 01/03/2022 10:56

Anti trans? How. Stating biology. Please get a grip.

KittenKong · 01/03/2022 10:56

And I assume it was the rainbow yfronts flag? That’s not the Pride flag.

What does this actually mean? I thought they 'targeted' a trans woman? So that wasn't true? Can you bring yourself to actually report on what actually happened? Maybe share those pictures you mention?

Absolutely

But links or screen shots would be great

CompleteGinasaur · 01/03/2022 21:23

I wasn't at this demo but was at the last one in Nottingham. I would be shocked if anyone vandalised a Pride flag, we were definitely not the aggressors then and I can't see the mood/ethos of the protest changing that radically.

Screen shots would prove me wrong..

KittenKong · 01/03/2022 21:44

Wandered by there today - not flying the rainbow yfronts flag and no ‘Mayor approved LGB-XYZ pub’ poster in the window. Just looked like a typical, boring old grubby London pub.

Maybe it’s just weekends when the weekend staff are on that it becomes women- unfriendly.

Oh dear, we're struggling with definitions again. You do realise that to vandalise something means it must end up damaged?

DontLikeCrumpets · 02/03/2022 00:23

@ScreamingMeMe

No credence should be given to the accusation unless there are photos that show the women actually putting stickers on the flag as it would have been easy for TRAs to have done so at a later time

Enough4me · 02/03/2022 00:57

I haven't seen evidence all over Twitter.

What was the man who was women-facing saying to the women?

MargaritaPie · 02/03/2022 02:47

They blocked the fire exit with chairs right?

I'm not surprised they were asked to leave.

LunaLights · 02/03/2022 03:28

Evidence please @MargaritaPie.

Enough4me · 02/03/2022 07:25

Next it will be they had the wrong coloured outfits, they were smiling too much...truth is they were recognised as people who know and confirm what women are.
