Joe Atkinson murdered Chloe Devey Waterhouse by stabbing her in the head & neck. Headline glorifies him as maths graduate & relegates her to the 'sweetheart' of a violent man who didn't love her. Chloe held a 1st class maths degree & Masters in statistics teapawt.net/DailyMirror/status/111…

There is an exemption under the current Equalities Act to preserve single-sex services for vulnerable women, so there is no need to accommodate transgender women. Therefore, services that DO house males who ID as women are choosing to put women at risk: dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Mark Addis, 44, was deemed such a threat to his former partner that he spent six months on remand in a male prison in 2014 after sending threats that he would kill her.

Sadly @CriticalSisters , founder of @Chelt_Fems has been permanently suspended from Twitter. Don’t know the full details: something to do with calling out a bellend who compared feminists to Nazis. She is appealing the ban.

Increasingly it seems like twitter is not a platform for women with opinions. As a woman you find yourself subjected to all sorts of abuse, to the extent that you give up reporting it because nothing is done. But retaliate by calling someone a dude, and you’re off.

We are appalled at this victim blaming campaign and contacted @WestYorksOPCC yesterday to ask that it be removed.

This refers to the fact that it is totally legal to have completely unregulated 'pop up strip clubs' - thanks to Cheltenham Races that's exactly what happens here:

Replying to @mpmwilko @FloClucas @Chelt_Fems @not_buyingit @glosrasac @LibDemVix
The massive increase in licensable activities during race week creates a hugely increased workload for licensing & police. This is almost certainly taken advantage of by some operators.
