@sussex_police It is 177 miles from Brighton to Jess Philips constituency in Birmingham perhaps some @sussex_police officers should make this trip? They even have a spare car in which to do it! (might as well get some more value out of that 750-quid) hastingsobserver.co.uk/news/sussex-po…
@sussex_police womansplaceuk.org/2019/09/26/a-w…"The protest grew substantially in size until at least 100 people were outside the building..ticket holders had to brave a narrow corridor surrounded by aggressive protestors taking photos, shouting ‘SCUM! SCUM! SCUM!’, ‘TERF! TERF! TERF’ and ‘SHAME ON YOU"
@sussex_police "Protestors then made their way round to the back of the building and proceeded to bang noisily on the windows..
This banging persisted incessantly throughout the meeting ..clearly an attempt to intimidate and silence our speakers"news.sky.com/story/jess-phi…

@sussex_police "The police were present but their intervention was entirely inadequate. In fact, we feel that they effectively facilitated the intimidation of the meeting by their actions..They did not stop the protestors banging on the windows."news.sky.com/story/jess-phi…
@sussex_police @sussex_police hard at work supported by their corporate sponsor, a political lobbying group. 
@sussex_police @sussex_police chief inspector, who has experienced "discrimination first hand through diversity" (wot??) But excludes women and lesbians who apparently don't "have the right to express who they are" at meetings.
@sussex_police If there's a women's meeting being attacked you can be assured @sussex_police have done absolutely fuck all except stand there and watch. Meanwhile at Jess Philips constituency in Birmingham....
@sussex_police leadingedgeforum.com/researchers/gi… @CCGilesYork "Giles is the force lead for Diversity and in this role he has established a network of force champions who lead internally and externally for different aspects of diversity...
...Giles’s work with the diversity champions has led to Sussex Police regularly being in the Stonewall top 100 employers (although we have just slipped below this year!) " But of course, the chief constable is in the pocket of homophobic ex-gay charity Stonewall.
theargus.co.uk/news/17353479.… "Chief Constable Giles York was made the subject of a Mail Online article accusing him of “ducking” press scrutiny at moments when his force was under fire in the public eye, and accusing him of PR appearances for charity events. "
"His comments follow a front page article in the Daily Mail which branded the force “clueless” in its response to the fiasco at Gatwick, where 140,000 passengers were affected by the drones. "
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork sussex.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/… "As illustrated above, one of the key drivers of demand for the Force is the increased recognition of vulnerability and reporting of crimes that involve vulnerable people. " but not if they are women at meetings in Brighton.
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork "A consequence of these issues is that public confidence may be affected if the Force is not seen to address demand types that it has previously serviced. The force will have to work harder to engage with local communities to agree priorities" Or just stand about and do nothing.
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork @sussex_police failed at all these at the WPUK meeting in Brighton the other night. Oh dear.
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork No shit, Sherlock. Any comment @CCGilesYork or are you too busy garnering publicity for yourself at a charity event to answer questions, as usual?
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork The violent intimidation of women at a public meeting seems pretty radical and extreme @CCGilesYork Why did your officers do nothing. You can re-read your own force management statement at the link in the tweet further up this thread if you need to refresh your memory of it.
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork 🤣😂😂🤣Well your officers certainly attended the meeting @CCGilesYork but as to whether they "added value"!? 🤡🤡🤣🤡
@sussex_police @CCGilesYork What is your policy on your press officers lying to the public in their statements @CCGilesYork? They tweeted that "no crimes had been reported" ...
...but what about this? Any coment?
news.sky.com/story/jess-phi… West Midlands police arrested a man for ""smacking the windows" and shouting "fascist"" Were your officers just waiting for a member of the public to report the same crime happening right in front of them @CCGilesYork ?
@CCGilesYork Do you have a policy of selective policing you would like to share the details of with the public @CCGilesYork ? Which groups do you consider worthy of protecting under the law and which do you not? Do your personal connections to charities influence your choice of priorities?
@CCGilesYork I realise @CCGilesYork that you are probably busy at some Stonewall knees-up getting a pat on the head for something, picking up another trophy for your collection, but I can wait until you've put your cocktail down to give your answer to us plebs. 😉🍹
