Update from CF

This sounds horrendous. How can the police do this.

And yes, it was exactly as we predicted in the previous thread.

Should a certain police officer pop up in this thread, please try not to get drawn into protracted, repetitive arguments with him. Please!

New here you say?

A very warm welcome 😁

Fabulous to have someone knowledgeable of police procedure. 🥂

Someone sensible, I mean.

😊 Thank you! Obviously I have been on MN often over the years - so I have been aware of the difficult issues, but I didn’t discover this lovely spot until lately. I work extremely long hours.

Or it could be because Townsend is subject to the Nolan Principles and can't be seen to take sides in an active police investigation.

Especially two days after the Oxfam fuckup.

Why do Surrey Police continually entertain this vexatious twat??

They should be telling him to fuck off, and then arrest him for harassment.

I'm almost positive that the Stonewall Index twaddle is at the heart of this, and Surrey Police don't want to slip down the ranks.

I hope Caroline has an excellent solicitor and he/she is working on it as we speak.

So many people will have no idea about this. This case needs to hit the media, people need to be aware of what is happening.

I've just been trawling through the Daily Mail, but can find no trace of the story. I doubt that the Guardian will have anything, unless it's critical of Caroline Farrow and misleading in it's reportage.

People bypassing the proper channels and using Twitter to complain is nothing new. That's how TRAs got Primark to make their changing rooms unisex in all but name. Of course, it's fine in your eyes when TRAs do it.

He's certainly A plumb.

What is clear from your post it feels like you are not aware that the public has turned on this issue, you seem to think if you turn up that will equate to support - it really just does the exact opposite. Maybe in your echo chamber of you can hear are cheers of solidarity but back on planet earth most people, and I do mean most people (men included) are sick to the back teeth of activists claiming the moral high ground and stripping others of their rights and protections. Most people have become aware of the damage and danger it is causing locking up rapists with women in cells etc. The obliteration of women’s rights and identities are now mainstream.

Where I live there is total vocal public agreement for women’s rights and spaces to be preserved and expanded whilst respectfully offering third spaces to those that need them.

You are not special Merlin.
Everyone has a right to live safely, comfortably and freely. Women and mothers included.

If you wish to protest go ahead, but with some awareness that you have drained the mainstream’s compassion dry by being so militant and refusing to understand the safety implications of your demands. You can’t win this, there is too much at stake.

WTAF? That is INSANE.

(I suspect that might be CF's lawyer's opening line tomorrow.)

Presumably no sane judge will consider this for a second. IANAL but is there a sneakily GC Superintendent of Surrey Police who wants to award CF maximum damages? They cannot seriously do this, yet they have

Mustn't forget to bring a handy stupid MP to stand in front of a sign advocating death to terfs by beheading.

Seems Surrey Police have learnt nothing from the last fiasco.

If someone has told me 10-15 years ago this would happen in Britain today I would have laughed and said it wouldn’t even happen in China or Russia, now here we are….

It's a joyous place to be. Lots of food and things to sit on. Kept warm from the fire raging underneath our cauldron.

Cackles! Trips over cat. Flies off on broomstick.

Good grief, if you want to be a copper you’ve got to have a thicker skin than that. They get far worse thrown at them day in day out.

I don't want bullhorn, they are so depressing. Much better to have a tambourine with its tinkly charms

If she isn't able to provide sufficient care for her children then perhaps social care services could step in to help?

This despicable, snide and sly insinuation is really the lowest. It was also made against a female politician and discussed on another thread. Like that incident, I assume this too is not being made by a mother. And in a strange way such ‘suggestions’ also reinforces just how clearly sex does matter. Because no one, absolutely no TRA would ever invoke this accusation against a father. Only ever against mothers knowing our children is our most vulnerable spot.

Or gets arrested whist cooking a roast! We might have had an easier time in medieval Britain when we only had to contend with the drownings. I find it fascinating anyone pees over the floor in protest to insist this is their history and life story too 🤷🏼‍♀️

Beware tambourines, sometimes those shaking them come at you shouting repent, motherfucker.

We might have had an easier time in medieval Britain when we only had to contend with the drownings.

In 1541 Margaret Pole was executed without knowing what her alleged crimes were.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose

How utterly charming. A gloriously feminine swan song of dignity and grace. An example to us all.

So just to recap:

Tomorrow
Guildford Magistrates Courts
9.30am

Tambourines not required.

And they call this progress?
