Film of protest outside the Lesbian Project meeting

[DameMaud]

This needs to be shared far and wide!
Made by a YouTube auditor who had no idea what the protest was about and was shocked by the protesters and police.
Think he has just peaked a few thousand more people ( read the comments!)

When i first watched this he had 13.8k followers. He now has 14.6k! Good on him!

Thanks for posting this bonkers stuff OP. And to PP and for the links about Auditors, had never heard of them. Fascinating stuff.

Welcome to TRAlaland, Mr Auditor.

I've watched chunks of it and it told me everything I needed to know. A massive waste of police time and resources for a pointless protest outside a building where a few mild-mannered lesbians were trying to talk in peace. Jesus wept. This is a dystopian nightmare.

Is it too much to hope that Billy Bragg and LOJ would see this. Did they both slate the Lesbian Project?

I expect he’ll get a bunch of negative comments now that he’s been smeared as far right.

Still, all interaction is good for the algorithm!

"Bloke who knows pretty much nothing about the Transgender encroachment on women’s sex based rights stumbles across the trans protest happening outside The Lesbian Project meeting."

Not sure I buy that. I think he knew a lot more about the issue than he was letting on.

Haven't read the whole thread, but do we already know the character in the red beret?

I wonder if that auditor guy has put the pieces together yet? Not only were the police turning a blind eye to the so-called counter protesters, threatening and physically intimidating him, but they were actually protecting and enabling them to block off the street, cause a public nuisance and intimidate members of the public in order to threaten and harass a group of lesbians having a private meeting. In short, they enabled and facilitated and protected them in committing a whole raft of public order offences motivated by hostility to a group who are protected under hate crime legislation. I hope he does take the time to understand what’s going on here, because the police are guilty of far worse than what he thinks they are guilty of.

Just a thought - which group of people: the older women coming out of the hall, or the aggressive, intimidating, insulting, assaultive people, seemed more vulnerable? Who is buying 'the most vulnerable group in all societies of all time ever' BS?

He really annoyed me. All faux innocence and fake understanding. Same as the young woman. I did laugh when TLA said something like they called me a fascist and assaulted me and she said "yes".

To be fair, the group that originally coined the name Fascist was a Nationalist Italian political movement. So he's not entirely wrong.

If I'm honest I do not feel confident I could properly define Fascism as a political movement/philosophy either. That is not just an offhand comment; as "Fascist" has become the go-to slur for TRAs I have been looking for a good clear explanation of Facism to counter it.

This is not to imply that since I don't have a definitive definition of Fascism I might unknowingly be one. Obviously, even just a basic understanding is enough to know I'm not.

But I don't fully understand what makes an ultra-nationalist and social, racial, sexual and gender (in the purely social sense) diversity intolerant regime specifically Fascist when there have been (and still are) states that embody the same values but are not called Fascist, for example Soviet Russia. And it's not simply economic left vs right because the Facists weren't hard core anti state capitalists - in Nazi Germany the state provided a lot of support, cradle to grave for the right people, all part of building their strong state. (National.Socialists....)

So my working understanding of Fascist is something like "Ultra-nationalist, traditional social roles enforced by the state through social as well as property laws, Capitalism but with strong state sponsorship and protectionism, no elections or elections between tightly limited options only".

Derail I realise, but if anyone has good, neutral references I'd welcome them.

Thank you for posting this. Why wasn't the TRA who smashed his phone out of his hand arrested for assault?

Good point. It was right in front of the police and they’d have the bodycam evidence.

So they aided and abetted. Isn't that a crime?

Can't upset the Right side of history thugs!

Indeed. And the TLA doesn't strike me as someone who is going to let that go.

Even if it's just to wind the police up

Oh the police HATE the public knowing their rights. Absolutely can't stand it. And he was so cheerful filming. It's a great video

I've just watched the footage of speakers corner yesterday. Absolutely shocking. I've not been before but I'll be there on the 30th April. We have to keep standing up against this horrible aggression against women.

Look at these muppets!
They are so desperate to stop lesbians from being heard that they are resorting to plain old making stuff up and recommending the playing of Disney tunes at protests so that footage can’t be uploaded without Disney claiming a copyright strike!

I think that the people making these lies up are not driven by emotion, it is stone cold strategic thinking. Trying to corral the hapless muppets (who have no youth counter-culture movement, since everything is online and televised) to do their bidding.

Wouldn't those same copyrights apply to public performance at a protest as an event ?

Scottish guy. "What's a fascist?"

Activist. "Umm...ummm. Italy?"

He doesn't even know! They're calling him a fascist and they don't even know what it means.

😂😂😂

Scottish Guy "do you not see the hypocrisy"

Activist "I don't understand what you're saying".

probably.

My music licensing law knowledge is very hazy and out of date!

why don't they "counter" protest outside the Turf club. I mean, seriously, they'd only need the tiniest bit of tippex and wouldn't even have to alter their chants since it sounds the same.

That's a definitely resolutely and obstinately single-sex space.

I honestly think he was more confused as to the meaning of the word hypocrisy having rewatched some. He had his waffle for fascism but he couldn't cope with the hypocrisy question. It was as if he truly didn't know how to answer it because he didn't know what it was.
