From Simon Fanshawe:

Dear @ adelewilliams. I was a founder of Stonewall. If @ bindelj, a lesbian who has spent her adult life fighting for Women’s rights and against violence against women, is “at odds with your EDI strategy”. It might be the strategy that needs challenging rather than the lesbian.

Well said Simon Fanshawe. 👏 I recently became FB friends with Fred Sargent who was at the Stonewall riot in 1969. May he live long and prosper!

JULIE BINDEL will sue council which banned her talk at a library www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-10955299/JULIE-BINDEL-says-going-sue-council-banned-giving-talk-library.html?ito=native_share_article-masthead
Julie Bindel will sue Notts council

Ereshkigalangcleg · 26/06/2022 23:25

Good!

FemaleAndLearning · 26/06/2022 23:26

Good news. Julie said at the meeting she will sue. Would love to be a fly on the wall at Notts council tomorrow morning.

That should be fun. Five minutes with the in house solicitor will tell them they dont have a leg to stand on legally (having chosen the SW Koolaid variety). So...grovelling apology, retraction and donation to charity of Julie's choice-cue wailing and gnashing of teeth from Bloko Harem, or contest the case knowing they will lose. Oh dear, how sad. Never mind.

achillestoes · 26/06/2022 23:40

Go on, Julie!

Mollyollydolly · 26/06/2022 23:53

Can't wait for the grovelling, we're shitting it apology, tomorrow.

TheBiologyStupid · 27/06/2022 00:45

Off-topic, but Julie had an interview with Martina Navratilova in The Observer:

MargaritaPie · 27/06/2022 01:27

Off-topic kindof but is anyone here familiar with Lawrence Fox, leader of the The Reclaim Party? His new Twitter profile is the LGBT colours arranged in the shape of a Nazi swastika. I find that distasteful to say the least.

SettingsO · 27/06/2022 01:55

Fucking brilliant. So glad she is going to sue!

Always remember that its not their money personal that they are risking, its taxpayers funds. Are the statement issuers willing to put their own personal financial futures, houses, pensions, etc on the line to go to Court? Are they willing to have the Courts decide what public services can be withheld from themselves on the basis of their individual political activism?

WarriorN · 27/06/2022 06:32

I can't find the tweet but Julie Burchill has offered to stand in Court to prove they're different people Grin

(Or someone suggested she does)

A student lawyer could sort that one out. What idiots.

WarriorN · 27/06/2022 06:36

Oh, this Julie ... not sure if it's the real one or not!

Very pleased to see that she's suing them. Long overdue for these intolerant bullies to get their comeuppance.

TullyApplebottom · 27/06/2022 07:02

CatherinaJTV · 25/06/2022 16:32

find a venue that agrees with your values? I would not try to run a pro-choice ralley in a Catholic church either.

There being no difference, of course, between a venue belonging to a religious denomination and a venue belonging to a public authority funded by taxpayers.
how do people manage to be this stupid

lovelyweathertoday · 27/06/2022 07:06

I must admit I said "Julie Burchill" about 4 times when I was telling my partner about the event, despite me knowing perfectly well who both the Julies are and knowing which one was speaking.

It's happened loads recently, I keep thinking of one word and saying another. BlushGrin

Bit random but has anyone seen this yet?

I showed the photo to my husband without any context and he just went 😲

This too...

It’s really not helpful for the LGBT cause, is it? People look at it and shudder.

WarriorN · 27/06/2022 07:20

I supposed pride going all corporate will make the young uns retreat and going back to "just be organic and love who you love" like we woz in the '90s.

Like "facebook is for oldies."

Cailin66 · 27/06/2022 07:40

CatherinaJTV · 25/06/2022 14:21

just sue libraries, because we have too many of them anyway and they are so generously funded and all. Such a good look (after sueing the equally well endowed rape crisis centre - nods).

You don’t think women should stand up for their rights? That they should stand aside and be trod upon?

ScreamingMeMe · 27/06/2022 08:08

Sarah Phillimore was on Andrew Doyle's show to discuss this:

Yep. I suspect that given who he is, he doesn't give a flying fuck who he offends.

A picture paints a thousand words, and all that.

SamphirethePogoingStickerist · 27/06/2022 08:20

Ooh! That posted too soon.

I mean look at the pictures in the posts just above... ALL Nazi imagery repurposed. I find that really chilling to see, it say so much about those who 'decorated' that space - they are utterly blind to history despite constant claims to be in its right side.

LFs Nazi flag reference seems to be a response to this Nuremberg recreation!

Birdsweepsin · 27/06/2022 08:26

Feckedupbundle · 26/06/2022 09:48

The whole debacle is frustrating but glorious at the same time. The Streisand effect to a T.
What wouldn't I give to be a fly on the wall of Nottingham Council legal dept on Monday morning?

Morning everybody! Lovely quiet weekend wasn't it? No, I didn't look at Twitter actually.
