It was a great event in Birmingham today for Let Women Speak. My wife and I joined the line of stewards to provide a line against the anti-women activists (AWAs) so I’m afraid we didn’t hear any of the speeches until we got home. To start with the police hadn’t turned up but eventually they did turn up in the nick of time. I was talking to one of the three police officers who were there at the start and asked if Jesus Christ was going to turn up. I then had to explain that, if I remember the New Testament correctly, there were only three fish but Jesus managed to feed the multitude. So if Jesus was here, hopefully he could turn the three coppers into loads of coppers. I wonder if Jesus was there because, shortly afterwards, loads of police turned up!
Despite being in the line I met loads of great people. Hello to Kim from Halifax and the Northern Queen ( with her own crown) from Northern Rad Fem Network. Hello to Antony, the gay man who was headbutted in the pub in Belfast. Hello to Victoria, the Dinosaur. And many others including lots of the wonderful stewards and loads of women from Liverpool whose names I have forgotten. I talked to a poor woman who had lost her son to all this madness and was, of course, very upset about it. Thanks to our friends Sue and Mark for making us laugh as they danced to ‘Message to you Rudi’ being played by the AWAs. Thanks to Mole at the Counter and others who we had a laugh with in the pub afterwards.
NB. I now understand there were some assaults by AWAs on people at the other end of the line from where my wife and I were. Awful news, of course, and I hope those who were assaulted are ok.
Here are some of my photos:

Queens Speech
There is a new Queens Speech out today. I will have to watch it tomorrow but I’m sure it is marvellous as ever:
Great update as ever Dusty! 😊
Thanks for this. I wasn't there but watched it on YouTube. There were some excellent speakers, Posie, naturally, and a lot of impassioned and angry women. We have so much to be angry about, everyone does. The transman in the guise of a de- transitioner said a lot, not in words as such, but made it clear what a disaster this is for so many young women like her. Transitioning is not a solution to anything, it's a way to a multiplicity of problems, including poor health. This is the actual conversion 'therapy' that needs to be focused on and challenged. Nevertheless, I think there are encouraging changes, principally an increasing awareness of what's happening, and opposition to it.
