I would just like to say that despite the depressing - and dangerous - nature of events in NZ and also yesterday in Hyde Park, it has been a very important weekend in terms of how these idiots are viewed by others.

There are now a lot of innocent people ignorant of the truth of these activists' actions and motives getting caught up in it all. There are now appearing several videos on YouTube as shown here and elsewhere - of people simply documenting events and having no allegiances either way. These tossers are being shown up in their true light - as anti-free speech dullards at best, and privileged and oppressive thugs at worst.

i am writing from new zealand to thank you and to beseech people in england to please use your freedom. you can still gather. the police still offer (reluctant) crowd control. media like the daily mail allow comments and provide some balanced reporting. all this is so much more than what we have here. keep fighting. you have the ability to lead the world in this fight. be strong.

Take heart, the TRAs know they're losing and that's why they're stepping up the abuse. It's impotent rage, it's the sort of flailing incoherent anger you see from creeps who know they're beaten but are embarrassed to admit it. It will get worse before it gets better but it can't be much longer now.

Righteously angry and powerful piece mate

“Gender’ ideologists burn books, punch seventy-year old women, knock middle-aged women to the ground, urge the ruination of children’s psyches and bodies, create terror at every level of society, snitch on people, throw liquids at women, make women fear for their lives, endorse imprisoning rapists with women, continually report innocent people to the police, endorse rapists and perverted men entering women’s spaces through the smashing of necessary safeguarding, solidify regressive sexual stereotype, completely erase homosexuality, and project their own fascist authoritarian anti-free speech behaviour onto those brave souls fighting against that very authoritarianism. My, what a strange ‘civil’ rights movement we have here. But they seem to have won hearts and minds of so many. Only a cult could do that. Only cult ‘think’ could bypass and shut down people’s ability to reason and act civilly with regard for their fellow citizens. God help us, and I really mean that — God help us.

Graham, you're always very self-deprecating about your role as a defender of women's rights, but it was brave of you to do what you did on Sunday. Your video of the police walking away was shown by Andrew Doyle in a powerful piece about KJK on Sunday's Free Speech Nation. Together with the footage of KJK in Auckland, it's helping to raise people's awareness of how our civil rights are being undermined.

Home Office Minister Chris Philp has spoken out to express concern about the treatment of KJK in New Zealand, so I've emailed him the link to your article.

It reminds one of Little Rock and Birmingham, except it's a crowd of thugs surrounding mostly middle aged women now. Very brave women. People once again pointing to human physical realities as clear as the nose on any human face. And what should logically follow from them.

Greatest mind f**k of all time. Actual fascist-behaving Men's Rights loons labelling their opponents as fascist! And by controlling the gears of big tech and main stream and social media (hence the relentless spinning propaganda) convincing too many of this Big Lie. What a coup for the ‘gender’ cult. It’s as if Hitler and his minions had convinced the British public that Churchill and any who listened to him were the real fascists. Lies all the way up. Lies all the way down. Nothing but lie after lie after lie after lie …

The police in those videos are unbelievable! I struggle to believe this is happening in my own country!

I wonder Baroness Casey would have to say about this?

No wonder we have lost trust.

Thanks, Graham. My guess is that NZ will embolden them. This is a moment in history. Thanks for showing up. It means they see the edges unraveling. They know they haven't got words that win over truth.

Graham: your last video clip (the other man who filmed) was Heiko Khoo (Speakers' Corner orator, organiser of the Karl Marx walking tour, sinologist, journalist, researcher and opponent of the covid dictatorship. https://twitter.com/HeikoKhoo) who has a weekly stint on Sundays at Speakers Corner (usually followed by Piers Corbyn).

Here's a later video, same day (see from 09:25), he says he will get all the men together to form a ring round the women because they must have the right to speak. (Doesn't sound like he's aware of the situation - that's obviously changing...)

The police are supposed to exercise impartiality when being present at demonstrations and counter demonstrations all the time - football matches and fox hunters/hunt saboteurs being two examples I can think of. There is no good reason for them to behave any differently - it’s just institutional misogyny writ large.

They’re completely ignorant of what the issues GC people are rightly concerned about and want to have an open debate about. Nor do they make it their business to find out (which they should, in order to demonstrate professional impartiality).

It's simply proof that we still live under a patriarchy. How else could it be that women cannot speak of their own rights being erased, our own language is being erased. Follow the money: Jennifer Bilek | Who is Behind the TRANS AGENDA? BIG PICTURE with James Patrick - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLXdoqXbC6k

Clearly, this trans movement is more than just about gaining rights for trans people. It's absolutely about stripping women of their rights and allowing male fetishists and male supremacists to dominate and control women's spaces, language, opportunities. It's unlike any kind of civil rights movement in that they're exploiting children for profit and shutting down women, mothers who are trying to protect themselves against predators, perverts and psychopaths. They're changing the law to advantage anyone who claims womanhood no matter how criminal they might be and prevent women from protecting their boundaries.

Two related things come to my mind; Jeremy corbyn only a few months ago repeating TRareHumanRights, No Debate. .. and all the clips we’ve seen of police dancing at pride marches. Neither our politicians or our police are going to defend the very British right to FREE SPEECH. This mob is the most entitled unhinged unpleasant group of narcissists we’ve ever seen. Blame stonewall. Blame our politicians. Shame the police.

I wrote a stiff letter of protest to the New Zealand High Commissioner. Pointed out the legality of the Auckland #letwomenspeak event and the fact that gender-critical beliefs were found to be 'worthy of respect' in a civilised country by a senior British judge.

It's old-fashioned, but letter campaigns can be very effective.

Sadiq Khan. Influenced by Aimee Challenor! (he/him - fact) WTH. How could anyone with a brain cell swallow the utter nonsense espoused by this seriously disturbed person. Could anything demonstrate his total incompetence more - oh wait. Met police who do not apply the law when it comes to the apparent (but not legally) protected characteristic that is totally brain fucked, masked, loudspeaker bedecked, brolly wielding, progressive right side of history, verbally incontinent, debate deprived , fascists. The Met Police is as effective as a chocolate teapot. They may as well WFH for all the law enforcing they do. In fact, recent history shows that women would be safer on the streets without them.
