Speakers Corner 26 March

[Rainonthehorizon]

Following on from the last couple of days in Australia, New Zealand and London yesterday, it looks like TRAs surrounded this weeks #Letwomenspeak gathering but I think the police have now moved them on, so hopefully everyone is safe.

Correction. They are very much all still there, live stream here:

Sorry ArabellaScott, cross-posted.

Someone following a black woman around telling her she's 'not welcome'.

Racism is fine for these genderists.

Thank you to all the women there, for those of us who can't be.

26 minutes, lovely to hear you all singing 'Women's rights are human rights'.

Glinner is there and just reported that there are about 100 TRAs surrounding the women but 7 police officers just walked off and left them. 🙄There's now only 8 police offers between both groups.

Hoping all are okay.

They will eventually seriously injure or kill a woman.

And then there will be a lot of senior police and politicians going oh how awful, of course we did absolutely fuck all so much to avoid this.

And MN will have alllll the receipts ready for the inquiry you incompetent fuckers.

Women are being kettled, apparently, by 'screaming TRAs'.

This is awful, emboldened by the violent extremists TRAs in Aotearoa NZ. I hope everyone is ok.

'We can't leave. May be a while. The TRAs are starting fisty cuffs. May be a while. Can anyone get me a large Merlot if you have made it out please? Thirsty face.'

'Still kettled in trying to leave. More police have arrived to get us out.'

"Police protect the fascists"

Oh fuck off

I don't know what you hope to achieve. You look truly mental.

Demonstrating how close the TRAs are being allowed to get to the women.

Although obviously whoever did this was very naughty. 😁

Frightening.

Disgusting that those nutjobs were allowed to get that close to the women but I do love that sticker.

Well, it seems we have a list of women to add to the “queens” thread:

Venice Allan
Jan from Object
Dr. Emma Hilton
Dr. Julia Long
Aja the Fearless
DJ Lippy

and every other nameless woman who attended.

Were the women able to leave safely?
And notice zero gay men supporting them.
The L is with W 4 ever

This should be beyond fucking belief and yet it is so unsurprising.

When are the police actually going to do their bloody job?

Most of us at the pub, not heard of any issues leaving.

At least 1 gay man was with the women. One day I'll remember to ask his name.

Not sure. Aja just posted this:

Senior police officer extremely dismissive of safety concerns. They were there to protect "everyone". Apparently they can't tell the difference between women meeting to listen to speeches and aggressive youngsters.

Only one side showed any aggression

Venice Allan
Jan from Object
Dr. Emma Hilton
Dr. Julia Long
Aja the Fearless
DJ Lippy

Dr Emma Hilton is also a great speaker and a tireless campaigner for women's rights in sport, but she wasn't there today as far as I know. You mean Dr Em.
