Petition urges LondonMayor to scrap Harry Potter Christmas lights over transphobia

[IwantToRetire]

Thousands of people have signed a petition calling on London Mayor Sadiq Khan to cancel Harry Potter-themed Christmas lights planned for Oxford Street this year.

The display is intended to promote the forthcoming Harry Potter TV series, but campaigners object to the promotion of JK Rowling's work due to what they argue are here anti-trans views.

Signatories to the petition, which was organised by the Good Law Project, also say the lights will leave trans people feeling unwelcome and unsafe in one of London's best-known festive locations.

Is that a dimly lit lightbulb going on in your head there?

By jove - I think s/he's got it!

Of course you should report any illegal actions to the police. I'm sure the resulting prosecutions would be well-covered. Of course this is a week where a well known conservative 'gender critical' woman has been arrested under suspicion of having indecent images of children. And no-one here appears to care about that. How surreal.

Have you started a thread about it? Have I missed it?

Oh you are funny - report to the police.

I see you don't want to address it. That's OK, I wasn't expecting you to - you always sort of fizzle out whenever you're asked to 🐿️

Sorry, so are you saying these things happen - and you have evidence - and you won't report them to the police? That's staggeringly odd.

Why haven't you?

What do you think about men who behave that way? How do you think the police should treat them?

You know more about it - you start it.

They should be arrested and prosecuted. Why else did you think I suggested calling the police?

I have - that's what the post you replied to was replying to. Is there a reason you wish to try and distract from this? If it was a trans person there would be at least three threads. I note someone had time today to create a thread where they questioned whether a woman who was murdered was actually a man because she wasn't feminine enough for their liking. Utterly disgusting behaviour.

They absolutely should, shouldn't they? Violence, aggression, threatening behaviour, pissing in the streets etc etc. Makes you wonder why the police turn a blind eye to so much of this behaviour from men who purport to be scared of JKR.

Anyway, have you started that other thread yet?

Perhaps because the people who claim to have the evidence of this don't bother to share it?

Or perhaps they know the police won't do anything. Yeah, it's that.

What's the name of that other thread you've now started?

Yes they did. And yes it was disgusting before it got swiftly deleted. And yes, YOU swooped in on it immediately to weaponise that death in order to have a go at FWR posters! What a surprise!

No compassion or respect uttered for the victim. Nothing.

So that's a rape case AND a murder case you've utilised to sneer at posters on here.

Classy behaviour. Really classy.

Why would I? Where is your thread on it?

Ahhh yes, that sounds like our alcove.

Yep. No opportunity missed, eh?

alcove - A monkey who knows he can’t be a giraffe has broken into Buckingham Palace and has taken 10384 selfies and stated men can’t become women.

Everyone else - really? Haven’t heard of that. Do tell.

alcove - OMG you totally do, start a thread why don’t you if you really cared. This happens ALL THE TIME YOU JUST WANT TO IGNORE IT.

Surreal it is.

Nope. It's become so predictable you could set your watch by it.

I remember when Alcove was pretending to be GC. The mask soon slipped, didn't it. Just as bad as the redditors.

As GC as they come... 🤭

Ah, the good old days. I miss them.

‘I’m as GC as they come but…’

I miss those 😟.

I never thought I'd say this, and I'm probably going to regret it the second I post it, but at least...at least...posters like Howsebaileychopping have the courage of their convictions and have some kind of point to make, even if the majority think it's nonsense and they get huge pushback. There is at least some kind of engagement there, muddled though it is.

But this poster? Nothing. Nada. Absolutely zip.

Lasted about a day, if I recall.

Ah nostalgia...

Wait! What? A well known conservative 'gender critical' woman has been arrested under suspicion of having indecent images of children. How did all the news media miss this? Where do you get this deep reporting? Please share your sources?
