It was a great demonstration today at the German Embassy in London - great turnout. I couldn’t hear any of the speeches unfortunately ( I am sure they were great and will try and locate them online) because I was multi tasking on the side of the pavement holding one end of one banner and one end of another banner 😄
Who said men can’t multi task 😂
There were roadworks so the traffic was sitting there for a long time and we were getting some good reactions from the vehicles including thumbs up from an ice cream man😃 Lots of beeps in support. Great singing of ‘Women’s Rights Are Human Rights’.
I had a brief chat with Mr Menno. Saw lots of other GC illuminati including one POW candidate at the general election. Had load of chats with wonderful Terfs. I did a practice interview with my mate, Mark and will transcribe that for the next update ( not yet moving to podcast!). The first photo below is not mine but the rest are mine. In the last photo, in the middle, are my mates Sue and Mark 😀
12.05 by the way is the German equivalent of ‘the eleventh hour’.
Afterwards lots of us went to the Star Tavern round the corner.

Sounds like an excellent day. I had a special moment on the train today. A woman was standing next to me waiting to get off. I noticed her tote bag said 'LGB Alliance '. I wordlessly touched the bag, smiled at her and gave her a little thumbs up. We shared a moment of smiling and then she and I went on with our days. It was a beautiful experience.
Awesome, Dusty! Fantastic to see such a crowd there. Ours here in NZ was considerably more modest - lol! However, a few strong and determined souls did get out there and hang a banner over a Wellington motorway, and then stand outside the German Embassy for a while before moving to a courtyard in the park opposite to do speeches. I went to Wellington for the day as part of the Women's Rights Party to show support, and will write about it soon. In the meantime, I did my first livestream of the banner over the motorway. It could be better, of course, but I'll learn. It's not too long, and here if it's of interest to you before I include it in my next blog. https://youtube.com/live/FUsAQ8pcvTU .
