'A hustings to discuss issues relating to women's rights ahead of the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election has been cancelled after the venue cited the group failed to "present a balanced view to the local electorate".
Women Won't Wheesht (WWW) invited candidates to a public meeting at Number 18, a venue in Rutherglen. The group have been at the forefront of protests against the Scottish Government's Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill that heads to court this week and have been unapologetic about their gender critical views, however they claim they are "a women's rights organisation and are politically non-partisan".'

'The venue in Rutherglen has been accused of 'unlawful discrimination' and the women's rights group say they will be seeking legal action'

Why is the SNP chicken drunk?

Very glad to hear the hustings wasn't cancelled in the end, it's amazing how venues suddenly backtrack once lawyers are mentioned 🙄

Absolutely brilliant and well done

Well done!

Slight derail, I've seen Women Won't Wheesht clothing on Amazon. Some sold by Radfem and more by Redbubble. Is this stuff bona fide? Will the profits go where they should go?

i saw on Twitter there is a recording, @WomenWontWheesht will you post it here when ready?

and the red bubble Etsy links, I like a t shirt.

Why is the SNP chicken drunk?

Is this a niche postmodern version of the road-crossing joke?

It's probably read the SNP manifesto.

well someone has to!

Emotional support ferret in hand.

I'm hoping that is not a euphemism.

Sorry!

All I can say is that no one has tried that one yet in a court room. However I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

😏

Whilst it's disheartening to read that the hustings was cancelled, albeit briefly, it's cheering that such venues are given a crash course in well settled case law and behaving. And little Stonewall fists mashing tables, with floods of tears.

Best get the mop...

We'll post it ASAP.

We're just back from an event on the Isle of Skye (it was a busy week)

But we'll get on it soon

Oh, and we do have our own t shirts that are available via our website.

Do you get the profits from the merchandise sold on Amazon? If you don't it can be flagged in the reviews.

I feel the need to use my bigly letters....

WOMEN WON'T WHEESHT

Ooh that feels better.

As you were.

We don't.

It's such a well-known phrase & doesn't belong to us, it belongs to us all.

@WomenWontWheesht thank you 😊

I know where I'll get my next t-shirt from.

Are you no very big, and are you awful shy?

Jean From Aberdeen actually sang that with her own words.

It'll be on Twitter/X soon.

MON JEAN FAE AIBERDEEN

Yes Jean!

Looks like the SNP have been spectacularly ousted from the seat.

You'd think they'd reflect on why. They won't though.

Although I'm delighted the SNP got humped Michael Shanks is no better. He's all TWAW.
