This was a good one. Karen going into great detail about something she didn't witness and Hatchett vowing to publish the CCTV.

Is the Brighton Centre really going to release CCTV to anyone other than the cops? 🤔

I have trans women friends who’ve been living authentically for decades - how are they going to start using the gents?
I have a tall cis female friend who’s now scared to use ladies loos because she’s been harassed several times.
This code is both cruel and unworkable.

It looks to be a fight over pro Palestine women waving flags etc in their disco on Saturday, and pro Israel women taking offense.

Also to add to the drama, the next conference falls just as Yom Kipper starts.

(And this is just part of it, there's tons of it)

@JeanHatchet

I was evicted from @FiLiA_charity and told by security - that even before my phone was stolen and I was attacked by a Filia panelist - that I had been reported for what I did to take down the anti-Semitic display from the stage. This is the message if they therefore protect. "No Jews at Filia next time!"

Can I be absolutely clear. I walked out without being wrestled like Masoud had to be. I complied with security. I have full footage.

The below is the post she quoted, which contains text and a screenshot of another post

Replying to @yatakalam and @FILIA_charity

Sad to be so young and so full of hate.

Pardis Dianatnejad wants #Filia to ban Jews altogether next time.

The below text was in the screenshot by user @radicalizingher

These Zionists are my enemies. I have so much disdain for each and every one of you. I pray next year all Zionists will be banned.

@radicalizingher included a screenshot shot of a post, that contains media showing people on a stage holding up Palestinian flags

Even if you weren't thinking of your Jewish sisters who you knew left @FiLiA_charity in tears.

Even if there wasn't a particular sickness dancing with that flag so soon after the anniversary of when nearly 400 young people were murdered at the Nova music festival...

Jean Hatc...

@JeanHatchet

Next year @FiLiA_charity will be held during one of the holiest times in the Jewish calendar. Yom Kippur.

A Jewish woman told me,

"Yom Kippur starts at sundown on the Sunday evening, Sept 20th so the event will have officially finished but of course unless you live very close women wouldn't have a chance to get home/ to shul/ to prepare for the fast etc"

Another told me,

"Have you seen next FiLiA clashes with Yom Kippur? That's the loudest statement they could make about how welcome Jews are in their event"

This also highlights the hypocrisy of the GC movement when this weekend Bindle & co. criticised Sian Berry's comment that the Filia conference venue was deliberately chosen to provoke. They referred to it as the 'what she was wearing' argument.

While Bindle did exactly the same to Matt.

David, The King of Kemptown @davidbtn2.bsky.social · 1d

that achieved nothing positive and would only hurt Matt's loved ones.

Oh, and she got paid.

No one regarded Matt as a saint, he was a young gay man who was murdered and whose family used their loss to change the law/promote equity

We expect this kind of hit piece to be written about us, not by us

On this anniversary of Matt's murder, I'm reminded of Julie Bindle's iconoclastic piece in 2014 where she repeats some (largely unsubstantiated) claims about him under the guise of exposing his alleged sanctification.

Fact is, she created a straw man based on someone else's book for an article...

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Another one who’s somehow either unaware of the barrage of coverage of Joanne’s views, or is lying.

So tedious.

Also, is it a boycott or a conscience? 🤷‍♂️

So many politicians skirt around these questions designed to make them look stupid (and end up looking stupid).

Zach shows that having courage, stating fully what you believe and not falling for this cynical, click-baiting bull can turn the tables.

Morgan looks like a bloviated buffoon here.
