Today is the day ladies that women and girls have been waiting for. No more sexual assaults or rapes, the Police will be out of business. Only that is complete crap. The GC mafia would have u believe that trans people are the problem. Things won't change however because they aren't the problem.

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

One thing before I go - speak ill of the dead if they deserve it, especially if you couldn't when they were alive because they were litigious fuckwits.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

In the last maybe 12 hours? I've been bombarded with responses from anonymous accounts calling me a groomer, a pedophile, a danger to women and kids, a creep, a cocksucker, a faggot etc. They've really demolished my point about GC's being unreasonable people. You've really proven me wrong, lads.

News coming in that former TUV Belfast City Cllr Jolene Bunting has been refused permission by the UK Supreme Court to appeal the Court of Appeal decision that her conduct against Matthew Cavan (Cherri On Top) amounted to unlawful harassment. Bunting protested a Drag Queen Story Time event in

Gotta say it thrills me to see US production companies saving money by making The Price Is Right in Ireland using the S481 tax break that was designed to create an indigenous film industry while many Irish filmmakers (including me) don't have a fucking pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

Women's Rights Network/Sex Matters took Feile to court to have their event reinstated. It was not reinstated. The two statements released after an agreement was reached give two very different impressions of what happened today in Belfast's High Court.

Statement from Féile an Phobail

Statement from Féile an Phobail

Féile an Phobail are delighted with today’s outcome at the High Court.

Today’s outcome is a vindication of Féile’s position in standing up for those who are marginalised.

Féile’s decision to withdraw this event from our programme stands.

The agenda of many of those who involved themselves in this issue was clear for all to see.

Many of the very same people line up every year to attack Féile at every turn, to attempt to damage Féile, and to attack the West Belfast community.

They will never succeed.

Féile an Phobail will continue to provide a voice for the marginalised, and we are looking forward to welcoming the world to West Belfast to join with us to celebrate Ireland’s biggest community festival.

Féile Abú!Statement from Women’s Rights Network Northern Ireland

WRN NI is delighted to have reached an agreement with Féile an Phobail which brings the current legal proceedings to an end.

The Judge congratulated the parties today, saying they both deserved credit for reaching a resolution in this difficult domain involving emotive issues.

Féile has agreed to meet with WRN NI to explore and discuss our potential participation in future Féile events, and we warmly welcome the opportunity for continued engagement.

Our women live, work, volunteer and support their communities across Northern Ireland. Our priority has always been to bring conversations about women’s sex-based rights into our festivals, workplaces, homes and communities, and to create spaces where women can come together and discuss the rights that affect their lives. We have done that, and we are immensely grateful for the support we have received over the past week, both publicly and privately. We hope this agreement marks the beginning of constructive engagement and greater opportunities for women’s voices and perspectives to be heard.

Our work continues. We look forward to the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (ECNI) Judicial Review later this year, where WRN NI will continue advocating for women’s sex-based rights and for the safety, privacy and dignity of women and girls across Northern Ireland.

And importantly, Respect, Rights & Reality will still go ahead on 4 August at an alternative venue. Further details will follow. We look forward to seeing you there.
