These arrests are crazy - the nerve of the cops to target women peacefully congregating.

No matter what one thinks of her, Posie Parker/ Kellie Jay, has sheer courage.

She has balls of steel. I may not always agree with her but I admire her hugely.

The bottom line is that Kellie Jay/ Posie Parker has brought a tremendous amount of publicity to the cause, at great personal risk to herself - Trans Demands Activists have published her home address - and for that she deserves our thanks.

Never has a livestream from the bottom of a bag been so exciting.

I was watching it. Got busted for breaking the number allowed in lockdown regs.

Which don't seem to apply to other protestors though.

Protests and political meetings can have up to 30 people. There were around 20 of them.

They basically arrested her then worked out what they charges were afterwards, which I'm not really sure is the right way of doing things.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (Posie Parker) has been arrested and threatened with a fine for arranging for women to speak about women's rights in Leeds. The police are on camera saying they do not think this is an issue that warrants a 'political protest'

Massive own goal by the Leeds police. Way to get a huge amount of publicity for these women and their message. Idiots.

It's called the Streisand Effect - attempting to hide or censor something leads to more publicity.

I'm not up completely on what happened, but I read somewhere that Kellie Jay didn't give her details because she wanted to get arrested. If that's true than she's both a publicity genius and a shero.

She's an excellent strategist and far more intelligent than the goons who arrested her.

It also means a lot of the human rights orgs such have been captured by the TRA now have to come out and say GC have the right to protest. Liberty is one.
