Glasgow University refused service at the student union bar to women activists 'over their opinions and beliefs' and signs 'that make staff feel unsafe'

[IwantToRetire]

A group of women's rights activists were refused service and kicked out of a student union bar they had booked 'over their opinions and beliefs'.

Let Women Speak (LWS) had booked a private room at Glasgow University Union (GUU) where they planned to hold a social after their rally on Sunday.

LWS had gathered outside Glasgow University holding banners with slogans such as 'Terf Island' and 'we are all Sandie Peggie' - a reference to the NHS Fife nurse who was suspended after objecting to a transgender doctor using the women's changing rooms.

Can't wait for the legal action.

“I can’t go into specifics.” Ha bloody ha.

Hope this blows up in their faces. Misogynist bullies is all they are.

I really hope this gets to court!

SHAME ON YOU GLASGOW

Beggars belief 🙄

Pffft. That manager looks a right dweeb. I bet he nearly shit himself when a gang of capable, no-nonsense women turned up in his bar without a questionable pronoun in sight.

I can’t wait for the court case.

GUU has a long history of misogyny. It was men only until the early 1980s and had to be forced to admit women if I recall correctly. But this is shameful and surely unlawful ?

Manager looked like a character from a sitcom.

Manager has the look of a man who's never thought for himself in his life

Kenneth Williams

.

I expect they are feeling delighted with themselves and are basking in praise from TRAs and imagine themselves winning any legal challenge providing their judge isn’t transphobic (aka upholding the law)

Yes, like a cross between Kenneth Williams and Squidward.

Don't worry.

Jolyon and friends will probably come to their rescue.

Yup, retreating into their echo chamber where they enable each other to feel righteous and smug about their misogyny. Sigh.

man?

I’m a graduate of Glasgow and so disgusted by this. I am now relieved my dd refused to even consider applying there.

How on earth do you answer that poll "Were the activists right to be refused service"? I can't work out whether I should click Yes (the activists were right) or No (they should not have been refused service)... great way to get meaningful results, not.

I'm pretty damn sure that he's a man. I'm not sure that he would be a member of my potential dating pool though.

Well yes "I'm not a vet but I know what a dog is" is meant to be offensive isn't it.

As the lovely Elaine Miller once said, "Turns out there's nothing more scary than a bunch of middle age women saying - 'oh d'ya really think so'?"

Unsafe? Give me strength - and a couple of boxes of tunnocks.

It's a quote. A response to a bloke who thought you needed to be a biologist to be able to tell that Lia Thomas was a man. How is that intended to be offensive?

As offensive as “Decapitate Terfs”?

I thought that, apart from almost certainly being an illegitimate child of Jacob Rees-Mog, there's a picture of him in an illustrated dictionary, next to Pencil necked dork.

Only to ridiculous idiots, who look for offence in everything they encounter.
