Nottingham Die-In on 16 August

[Greyskybluesky]

Anybody?

This movement really does feed off itself in the most unhealthy way, creating paranoia, fearfulness and division.

Yes, the old Victorian underground ones disappeared when they destroyed the old Slab Square and wasted an awful lot of money on posh (and incidentally very slidey) Italian granite about twenty years ago. Now the public toilets are in a small l-shaped cut through called Greyhound Street close to the statue of Brian Clough/Speaker's Corner.

I try not to go, to be honest! Partly because of the toilet situation!

Quite ironic that back in the late 80's that corner was actually the site of Nottingham's only lesbian club, Casablanca. An absolute dive, but we loved it. There were loads of gay clubs, but only one "Casa".

What’s the weather going to be like for this? Hope they have cotton shrouds, or they will be sweating into the sand and making their own water features…🤮🤮🤮

Quite pleasant, sunny intervals according to BBC weather.

I expect like the flags they will be polyester and creased.

Is anyone intending to go to this piece of moronic street theatre?

For some reason the vast majority of women seem to keep well away from the trans groups who piss on our streets, strip, issue threats to women and girls.

Can't imagine why 🤔

Well, yes. It's just that the start time was getting a bit close, so I thought I'd bump it, just in case anyone needed a good laugh...!

Maybe there will be a counter-demonstration by some of the thousands of people who regularly turn out to protest against one of the many current conflicts around the world in which people are literally-literally dying, to object to this melodramatic trivialisation of the reality of injustice, suffering and death by a group of privileged... ...people [I had to count to ten there!] who enjoy the same human rights as everyone else in their society.

I won't hold my breath, though.

I'd just have to jump on a bus at the end of my street and shoot down Mansfield Road for ten minutes to witness what will no doubt become a seminal moment in the history of "Entitled Narcissism and the Omnicause, 2010 - 20??". But somehow I can't be bothered.

I think they've solved their "problem" -

#DeadMenDontNeedToilets

Sounds like the car I just bought.. Tarted up to look like something it's not, with a dodgy trans-mission.

Are they dead yet?

Only from the neck up. Unfortunately.

Wins the thread

Write up in Pink News. Love the first photo that shows everyone else just carrying on with the funfair rides in the square.

"The demonstration in Nottingham saw dozens of participations carry out a die-in where they lay silently on the ground as the sound of a steady heartbeat played from a loud speaker. One attendee was dressed as the Grim Reaper and wore a mask plastered with the face of prime minister Keir Starmer, standing ominously amongst the participants on the floor."

Nice warm day for it! Wonder how long it lasted?

Surprised there's been no mention of zombies yet.

Someone posted that Prick News coverage of this hugely significant performance protest on trans reddit, about two hours ago. No one's commented yet..

No comments, LOL!

You think they’d at least have played the Dead March. And how does someone ‘stand ominously’?

I do enjoy the work of Pink News.

Dozens! Wow - that will show those dastardly Terfs what they’re up against.

I just love the fact that a Die-In is, of necessity, a Silent Action. I think this is a Major Innovation in the field of Political Protest (don't blame me for the Excessive Capitalisation, I'm just Conforming to the House Style) that should be Enthusiastically Embraced.
(I don't care if they're lying about making the place look untidy, as long as they're doing it silently.)

True, at least when they are lying on the floor like the blue haired ninnies they are, they aren't threatening women with violence or pissing everywhere.
