time for a change, reform here we come!

Next up at #BarCouncil Chair Sam Townend KC introduces @HarrietHarman who is chairing an independent review of bullying and harassment at the Bar. Background here: barcouncil.org.uk/resource/harri…











I try to remain reasonable in an unreasonable world. But if one more politician resorts to the "both sides... baffled at toxicity... culture war" rhetoric I may go postal. In the last few years I have: - fought through hostile crowd to get to Brighton meeting, been struck on back of head as I entered, with protestors kicking the windows til our ears rang - co-organised a research event on lesbian life (nothing to do with trans) where protestors closed the road outside, set off smoke bombs - spoke at Cambridge Union, where every time I spoke, protestors drummed louder to drown me out, and where a male transactivist covertly infiltrated my own debate team in order to then denounce me to audience - had protestor glue herself to floor in front of me at Oxford - had masked men come to my workplace every day making threats and harassing me til I resigned. - now require extra security for every public appearance I do - have been verbally abused in the street by total strangers several times. Please do tell me, with evidence, how I personally have contributed to this "toxic" state of affairs, other than not shutting up and not going away? I am deeply interested to find out the answer.
