  • Gender Critical at Work – Media Compilation
    GENDER CRITICAL AT WORK Search MENU tuesday march 30 2021 Linda Bellos had said she would be ‘publicly questioning’ some transgender politics ROGER ASKEW Linda Bellos barred in Cambridge University row James Gillespie and Sian Griffiths Sunday October 01 2017, 12.01am, The Sunday Times Share Save A leading feminist has had an invitation to speak at Cambridge University withdrawn amid concerns that transgender activists could oppose her. Linda Bellos had been invited by the Beard Society at Peterhouse College and sent a list of dates — which were withdrawn after she said she would be “publicly questioning some of the trans politics . which seems to assert the power of those who were previously designated male to tell lesbians, and especially lesbian feminists, what to say and think”. Ailish Maroof, the co-president of the society, which describes itself as a “gender and feminism” group, replied: “I’m sorry but we’ve decided not to host you. I too believe in freedom of expression, however Peterhouse is as much a home as it is a college. The welfare of our students in this instance has to come first.” The prospect of laws to let men redefine their gender without a physical transition and then gain access to changing rooms and women’s refuges has angered many. “I’m not being told by someone who a few months ago was a man what I as a woman can or cannot do,” Bellos said. Maroof declined to comment.

  • Masks Must Remain Mandatory to Keep Public Safe, Says Green Party
    Greens express profound disappointment over Labour Party failure to support fair voting system 27 September 2021 The Green Party has criticised the Labour leadership for failing to ensure the party backed a vote to support proportional representation at its conference today [Monday 27 September]. [1] Labour conference defeated the motion after it was sent to a card vote. This came after 150 Constituency Labour Parties submitted motions on the topic and more than 83% of members previously said they support the idea. [2] Zack Polanski, Green Party spokesperson on Democracy and Citizen Engagement, said: “This is a really disappointing decision by the Labour Party which shows a real lack of leadership and vision from the top of the party. “Labour members overwhelmingly support electoral reform, yet Keir Starmer has done next to nothing to ensure that his party’s delegates voted through a motion which could have revolutionised British politics and put an end to the Tory stranglehold on our failed democratic system. “In the conference hall, speaker after speaker argued passionately for Labour to adopt proportional representation in its next manifesto, yet it still did not pass. Without proportional representation and electoral cooperation Labour has an impossible mountain to climb and the country faces another five years of chaos with the Conservatives. “It is clear that British voters want to move on from the failure and division caused by the two-party system, and so it is extremely worrying to see Labour fail to grasp the need for a more cooperative and collaborative form of politics which will benefit everyone.

    29th Council, European Green Party 23-25 November 2018, Berlin, Germany Venue Telekom Hauptstadrepräsentanz Französische Strasse 31a-c Adopted Minutes Friday, 23 November 2018 Welcome Words 13:00 – 13:30 Speakers: • Monica Frassoni: Co-chair of the EGP • Antje Kapek: Co-chair of the Green Group in the Berlin state parliament • Annalena Baerbock: Co-chair of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Germany Monica Frassoni welcomes the participants to the 29th EGP Council in Berlin. She starts by informing the participants that the two Turkish Greens co-leaders, Eylem Tuncaelli and Naci Sönmez, had their passports confiscated by the Turkish authorities and were not allowed to travel to Berlin. She then salutes the newly elected Green party leaders. She states that this Council officially starts the Greens common European electoral campaign, and that for the first time Greens can be game changers in shaping Europe’s future. She claims that the recent successes of the “Green wave”, which includes electoral and civil rights victories, stem from the fact that Greens have a European character and are seen as an alternative to both status quo mainstream parties and nationalist forces. Monica Frassoni calls for the Greens to transform the Green wave into more votes and garner support for their policies even across party lines, in a moment when the fight against climate change is visibly lagging behind. She also argues that Europe is not a doomed project and stresses the role that Greens have in this battle as the most cohesive pro-European parties. Monica Frassoni warns that Green policies for an ecological transition must be perceived as rooted in solidarity and equity, if they are to be widely supported.
