Zoe Garbett - Green mayor for Hackney

[maltravers]

What do we know about Zoe Garbett (Hackney’s new Green mayor) in the context of gender identity politics? I assume she must be full on TWAW or the Greens would have ex-communicated her/Walter Titty wouldn’t be seen with her, but is this correct?

I think she wants to go further than that . In the outline of her manifesto for Mayor she mentions “trans access to single sex spaces” obviously not recognising the irony of that statement.

Of course Yasser Arafat said much the same, which was why the Israelis and the Americans refused to deal with him; democracy, they could stand, but socialism was a hard no.

There was a thread about this aspect of the recent elections - see https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5478388-do-you-care-if-your-local-council-cancels-theiryour-local-election-in-may

And he was Palestinian. Sultana is a British Pakistani loudmouth who caused her own party of a few hundred people to disintegrate into factionalism yet thinks she should be telling another country how to run itself. That's the colonial aspect.

Also just to add, the Ayatollahs in Iran said the same thing, then murdered all the Socialists, enforced a strict Islamist state on their people and stole all their money to fund terrorism.

Potential GOAT SACRIFICE just YARDS from Hackney Town Hall!

In recent weeks London Centric has uncovered videos of his organisation conducting elaborate ceremonies involving animal body parts, explosives and the burning of replica coffins by graves belonging to unrelated individuals.

But who is this man running a “black magic” temple a few minutes’ walk from Hackney town hall? What is he doing in there? And how does it all come back to a chef called Hugo who used to work for Marco Pierre White?

Looking forward to Mayor Zoe muttering about unity in diversity and avoiding any questions about animal welfare

Hackney Mayor urges government to reject new guidance on single-sex spaces
https://news.hackney.gov.uk/news/hackney-mayor-calls-on-government-to-reject-new-guidance-on-single-sex-spaces

Zoe states: ‘The government's own equality impact assessment acknowledges this guidance will put trans people into real physical risk’.

Where does it say this? I have looked at the equality impact assessment and can’t find ‘physical risk’.

Let alone the fact that as a Mayor she doesn't seem to understand this is now the law.

Or is she yet another one who thinks when a law doesn't fit their view of the world she and everyone should just ignore it.

So, we've gone from the "ordering" stage in the last couple of decades to the now "pleading" phase. How things have changed, and how utterly useless these people are.
If the likes of Garbett had spent 1% of the energy they extended on silencing and belittling women instead on finding rational solutions, imagine what optimal outcomes could have been found.
Instead she was happy to prolong the trash culture war to the zero sum game it became.
Now, to plead for the SC ruling to be ignored, how pathetic.

She’s a Green ….eyed monster

TRAs getting in early with the Andy Burnham hate in a protest outside Hackney town hall

FFS, and just after Widdecombe’s murder.

Nasty.

Bad headline though... "A protest outside Hackney Town Hall in east London called on the Green-run council to refuse to implement guidance on single-sex spaces"

Should say, "refuse to implement the law"!

They run my local council. I've emailed those named as being present, plus Zoe G, named Ann W, David Amess and Jo Cox and asked why they feel that attendance at such an event was appropriate/sensible.

Children, and that's an insult to actual children.

Not sure if this has been posted, but utterly pathetic. This is what comes of having student politics running a town hall.

Hypocrites

Shades of defending those SNP members at the "Behead TERFs" protest

The Mayor of Hackney, Zoë Garbett, and stars from Tip Toe also attended the press conference that revealed Trans+ Pride would end in Trafalgar Square for the first time in its history.

Polanski and Garbett both rejected the new code of practice initiated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) which states that come August 5th, a service must be used exclusively on the basis of birth sex in order to qualify as a single-sex space.

Polanski said: “By August 5th, Andy Burnham has an opportunity here as a new prime minister to say we’re not going to do this.

“It’s pretty grotesque what the government has done with the EHRC guidance.
“Despite the amount of MPs who signed the Early Day Motion to say during the consultation that we need to reject this guidance, they’re still going ahead with it – there’s no need for this guidance to come into place by August 5th.”

This is fantastic from Polanski. We know where the left really do stand on this. The SC ruling and ECHR advice is both a clarification of the law, and common sense. And we see the identarian left as a pure populist movement, not interested in the greater good, but its own narrow sectarian interest.
