Filia taking Plaid Cymru to Court

[fromorbit]

More developments in Wales.

Recently Plaid banned the boring wrong kind of women's group from their conference by throwing out Filia.

Original thread.

Well Filia have been busy with their lawyers {who let those pesky women into law school!] and it turns out that blatant sexism is illegal. Who knew?

Plaid Cymru faces legal claim from feminist group it banned
Solicitors acting for a leading feminist organisation have served a legal claim against Plaid Cymru following a decision of the party’s National Executive Committee to revoke the group’s booking of a stall at its Spring conference.

I can't see this case going to court as Plaid are bound to lose. I think they will fold before then. However it leaves them with the dark issue of having to admit women exist and letting them say things. Not sure how they can handle that.

With the recent founding of a group for women inside Plaid and the row over the gender quota for the Senedd things are getting very interesting in Wales especially as they are still trying to avoid talking about the Cass report.

Well done, FiLia. What an interesting pair of actions.

Thanks for this very interesting info.

Brilliant news. Yes to things being interesting in Wales. Gething must be wandering around with his eyes closed and his fingers in his ears to avoid the Cass report but he’s managing to completely ignore.

Good for them.

Very balanced report by Nation Cymru, and doesn't Lisa-Marie Taylor nail it?
I so admire these women who can put into well-chosen and effective words the ideas that bob around in my brain until they become a blended mush of incoherent outrage.

Actually, that last bit was rather well put, if I might say so myself.
Nice one, brain!🙂

Every now and then my brain surprises me, too - and then something else happens as if to say - "Look - I treated you to a bit of coherence, but it was a one-off - don't get used to it".
