[Hoardasurass]

The women of wessex are planning to sue Bristol council over their behaviour including walking out of chambers when asked questions and banning questions by sex realises

Its outrageous, but also dangerous. Who decides which views are verboten and which constituents should be silenced and banned?

Well done.to the women suing. Very necessary.

Clearly they need to step down if unable to fulfil their lawful obligations. Hopefully the council won’t waste too much of their money trying to defend unlawful behaviour

Good to hear. Hope it's picked up nationally

The two women have since hired leading London law firm Conrathe Gardner to instigate judicial review proceedings against the city council in the High Court.

Conrathe Gardner has taken on several high profile legal challenges around the issue of transgender politics, including a discrimination claim against the Girl Guides which prompted last month’s announcement that the organisation would no longer accept trans girls or women as members.

This isn't exploratory, they are playing hardball.

...and Bristol ratepayers will be paying for their council's stupidity.

i really hope they are successful and the case is widely reported. Speaking as a former Green, I want it to shine a light on the party’s current insanity. So many people aren’t aware of their misogyny- I think if you’re not gc, a lot of their positions simply aren’t coming to wider attention.

Great!

Couldn’t agree more. Shine that light.

Greens are such a shameful let down. They should change their name to pastels & brown party because frankly that’s all they care about.

Brilliant 😁

It will be interesting to see what sort of defence Bristol put up. Can't wait

Looking forward to this

those women are nails!

when is this case please?

Not yet. The women have started court proceedings but nothing will happen imminently. I think this is the most up to date reporting on it:

Bristol ratepayers voted for authoritarian bufoons, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Im really surprised you can sue elected officials. I thought being elected meant you could pretty much do anything you liked as long as you didn’t break the law.

They ARE breaking the law, by refusing to implement single sex spaces and encouraging men into them. There may wall be a case of wrongful dismissal, for Wendy Stephenson, who was sacked from council's independent remuneration panel.

This!

Not really, they got in on low turnouts due to voter apathy. In many wards, turnout was under 40%.

Apart from anything else, surely a lot of their insurance coverage is invalidated if they do t follow the law?

How about 'The Greens Are For They/Them - Reform is for You'
