Do they cover the 'No petting' sign up when it's women only?

I take it you won't be popping down to the Civic Art Centre to take part in Hyndburn Women's Forum's week of activities to celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women's Week.

Neil, if you start a campaign, protesting that tax payers' money should not be spent on funding events, and leisure activities that discriminate on grounds of gender, you might get quite a lot of support.

I can help you set up a Facebook page, which the press seem to like as evidence of public feeling.

A campaign which believes Hyndburn tax payers' money shouldn't be spent on leisure servives, and arts, which discriminate on gender lines?

After reading his curt condemnation regarding single sex swimming sessions, I'm sure he'd back a campaign to withdraw all funding from events the tax payer has provided, which is spent on activities and leisure services in Hyndburn, that blatantly discriminate against people along lines of gender.

Must just be busy.

He's probably painting banners, and making placards as we speak.

How are the placards, and banners coming along?

Just give me a shout when you're ready to storm the citadel.

I'll just keep waiting here...until you're ready for me.

Oh hi Cashy.

I thought it was Neil with my 'No more taxes spent on sexist activities!' placard.

I'll carry on waiting.

Good job I'm patient.

I'll wait here forever, because it's an important cause.

But as you say, the fact that Hyndburn residents' taxes are beind spent on activities in the borough that are in your words 'very sexist and should not be allowed' is blatant discrimination, and therefore very wrong.

With your impressive leadership qualities I'll heed your advice re: Facebook, and will await further instruction, as to how this outrageous abuse can be challenged, and stamped out.

I'll wait here ===>

I did say it was the press who seem to like quoting numbers of Facebook protesters in their articles. Which they do, and which we've witnessed recently, with the closure of the Peel St. toilets.

Therefore you might be correct, with your label of 'lazy people'.

That would account for poor journalism, and circulation figures, spiralling ever downwards.

Right.
I'll go back, and just wait here, for further instruction. ===>

Thanks.

Greatly appreciated.

It's hard work, waiting about, and working yourself into a fury, before beginning the battle to fight the unjust.
