I watched a video in which she said that unions were all misogynistic, and that it was a waste of time joining the Gala, because of this or words to that effect.
That rings a bell so I understand now what you were getting at. She has actually been very supportive and paid for the materials for the first banner we took, which was a Standing For Women banner in a traditional style (photo attached).
The Unison head-butting incident was probably due to the fact that we also had banners supporting the Darlington Nurses - a banner for each nurse, naming and supporting her. If the woman who assaulted the LWS member was not the sister of "Rose" Henderson then she was her doppelgänger.
We have chatted to union groups every year and some have been very supportive. It was very encouraging that the all-male delegation for the Prison Officers Association knew that men were being incarcerated with women and were 100% opposed.
and PM you under a different name
I remember ❤️
i am going this year and will try and find LWS if they have a contingency
If you are a LWS member we will be advertising in the "Nest" where and when we will be meeting and we will have a LWS Banner to help you to find us 👍
Photo attached of some of us at the IWD Suffragette March at Beamish Museum on Sunday with the LWS North East Banner.
they can walk under or behind our miners wives banner for protection.
That is brilliant! Not that we need protection but that a women's group would actually support us and want to be associated with us. When you attend, you will see what I mean.
As usual, we are up against the massed ranks of the female, left-wing #bekind brigade who are carrying banners. A stark contrast to women lining the streets watching the procession, who cheer us on, hold out their hands to take our leaflets and some have even come through the barriers to march with us.
It is a very visible demonstration of how far removed the trade union elite and organisations of left-wing women are from public sentiment on this issue.
If the miners wives are with us that is a very big deal and would be an important signal to the Left that they might actually pay attention to. Possibly in a good way although they are quite capable of noticing and, as a result, branding them bigots.
That said, the Gala is still a few months away and there is enough time yet for your group to be subverted by a "concerned" drag queen or a woman who has a "trans kid" in her family 🫣
