@Fandangoes I will be coming by train from fife so if you want to meet dm me

Is there a point where everyone is meeting?

@Hoardasurass thank you! I need to check I can get the day off work, I’ll do that today and will do you

This sounds incredible. I hope it goes really well.

I'm going to try and come up from Dawn Saff for this as being a Scottish wummin, my heart is breaking for what is going on for women and girls in my home country. Never expected Sturgeon to have turned out to be such a man pleasing, destroyer of women's rights! Absolutely horrendous!

Can I get back to you later on this week about a meeting place?

And the next speaker to be announced is Isabelle Kerr, speaking about VAWG, with a long history of working in rape crisis support.

"Never expected Sturgeon to have turned out to be such a man pleasing, destroyer of women's rights!"

Never expected to agree with Sturgeon on anything but she is doing a great jobs standing up for trans people and against transphobia - go, Nic!

Suffragette tartan is back in stock if anyone would like to get hold of a lovely scarf or wrap ahead of the protest. I'll be wearing mine if it's not too warm.

Just a quick heads up that network rail are on strike on the 15th again so anyone planning on going by train will most likely need to make other arrangements

Naw you bampot, Elsie McSelfie, wee paddy & Maggie the loon etc are not going to get any further with destroying the rights of women and children.
Maybe you should start think when you support a parcel ‘o rogues who want to sterilize & disfigure young people and children.

Another excellent woman 💪

Do you think the Queen dying will have an impact on this protest next week? I’m reading that ‘Operation Unicorn’ is going to have a massive impact on Edinburgh next week

Yes, can confirm the rally is now cancelled. Or at least delayed. It will happen but the replacement date, as you can imagine, needs to be discussed with speakers and find out when Holyrood returns to normal.

Maybe by the time the official mourning is done Liz Truss will have told NS to stay in her legislative lane.

that would be nice.

i am hoping that King Charles is a terf. I am pretty sure that PM Liz is.

And I think the Queen was too and she deliberately organised operation unicorn so that NS would have to talk about “ United Kingdom”
for the sake of pomp and diplomacy for 10 days of absolute bedlam in Edinburgh. City is going to grind to a halt

When that coffin gets hauled up the Royal Mile I bet there will be a tiny “tee hee hee” inside it.

Nothing on" For Women Scotland" about cancellation.

Not yet but they will announce it is delayed. They didn't feel last night was an appropriate time to make it about them.
Holyrood will be closed and no large gatherings will be allowed in the area. A new date is being discussed now with speakers once they know when they'll be allowed back.

Notice confirming the rally is postponed

Please let everyone who isn't on social media know that the Women's Rally is now cancelled, in case they turn on Thursday! It will be rescheduled asap.

I'm sorry for the reason but it might mean I can attend after all.

Me too.

I see the rally has been rescheduled to 6th October. Does anyone know long it goes on for as I have an evening event that day which I would need to get home for but I’m really keen to attend the rally.
