@bull_robin56713 @narindertweets No they weren't.
They were using "empowerment of women" as cover for ignorance, bigotry and western supremacy. They were saying that people who choose to wear hijab are less than they are, silenced, sub-human.
This display was abhorrent, naked Islamophobia

There’s a huge flaw in @narindertweets' framing here.
The women on stage were not mocking “brown women”. They were making a political statement about an ideology, a religious practice, and what they see as the oppression of women under certain interpretations of Islam. Whether people agree with them or not, that is plainly different from racial hatred.
A niqab is not a race. Islam is not a race. Criticising religious customs is not the same as attacking an ethnicity.
Ironically, these were young European women voluntarily covering themselves to demonstrate exactly what many women in parts of the world are pressured or compelled to do permanently. The reveal into normal Western clothing was symbolic: freedom, individuality, visibility and choice.
You may dislike the message, but calling it the “sexualisation and humiliation of brown women” feels emotionally manipulative and deliberately racialised. No women were degraded on that stage. Nobody was named, targeted or abused. It was political theatre aimed at a belief system and its symbols, not at women because of their skin colour.
Narinder Kaur@narindertweets
In this country, people have the right to criticise religion. But there’s a clear line between criticism and the degradation of women. What we’re seeing here is the sexualisation and humiliation of brown women. That should never be acceptable. This isn’t clever or empowering. it’s the public humiliation of one group of women by another group of women. Sad and pathetic.

@Ltrs_Frm_Across @FBAwayDays Thats bollocks.. The police let the Birmingham fans out on to Ilderton road.. they started attacking the Millwall fans and then ran back to the stadium when they realised their mistake.

@FBAwayDays Easily one of the most intimidating away visits as a Blues fan was our playoff semi-final win in 2002. Stern John's 90th minute winner at the Den gave us a 1-0 win and sent us through to the final. Millwall fans rioted. The walk back to the coach was genuinely unnerving.

Had the back patio redone last week.
Four guys showed up at 8:15.
At 8:30 I went outside and asked if they had five minutes for a quick standup.
The foreman said "a what."
I said "a standup. Quick sync. Five minutes. What did you do yesterday. What are you doing today. Any blockers."
He said "we just got here."
I said "right so no blockers. Great. Let's reconvene at noon."
He looked at his crew. His crew looked at the ground.
At noon I went back outside. Asked for a status update.
He said "we're on track."
I said "on track relative to what baseline."
He said "the plan."
I said "is the plan documented somewhere."
He pointed at the patio.
Fair enough.
My wife came outside around 2 PM.
She said "have you been out here all day."
I said "I've been providing board-level oversight."
She said "you've been sitting in a lawn chair watching four men work."
I said "that's what board-level oversight is."
She went inside.
They finished Thursday. One day ahead of schedule.
The foreman shook my hand at the door and said "good working with you."
I said "likewise. I'll send over a post-mortem."
He said "please don't."

@PolitlcsUK Isn't it kind of weird that there are posts about his wife asking about their relationship and a couple of days later...
