Despite not being adequately covered by the mainstream media, with the honourable exception of GB News, the ripples from the stabbing of ex-Muslim Christian preacher Hatun Tash are starting to spread. This spread is already starting to have at least one positive effect in so far as the Metropolitan Police who appear to have been shamed by public criticism into treating the stabbing of Ms Tash as a terrorist incident. Various news reports such as this one in the Metro from Monday are stating that the stabbing of Ms Tash is being investigated by anti terror unit officers.

Whether the involvement of counter terror officers assists in bringing the stabber to justice or whether the Met will continue to politically fellate the aggressive Muslims of Speaker’s Corner remains to be seen. The Met are stating that this is not terror but in that case why involve counter terror officers? It appears to me that the Met are unwilling to come out publicly and say that there are now armed Muslim terrorists hanging around Speaker’s Corner because the political optics of saying so when they’ve done sod all to stop Islamic terrorists from gathering at Speaker’s Corner makes the Met look bad. So they say one thing ‘it’s not terror’ but do the complete opposite, which is involve counter terror officers, something they would not do if this was any normal sort of crime.

The ripples from the Hatun Tash stabbing continue on their way and continue to have effects, positive ones in my view. These ripples have reached those sections of the women’s movement that have not been hijacked and eviscerated by the political Left and some brave and principled women are going to take back Speaker’s Corner from the various shades of religious fundamentalists and try to make again a place for free political speech.

According to a video put out by the women’s campaigner Kelly Jay Keen, there are plans afoot to bring as many women as possible to Speaker’s Corner to voice the views that concern them whether it be the destruction of women’s sport by MTF transsexuals or the right of women to have the sex segregated spaces that they deserve. This demonstration at Speaker’s Corner by women’s rights activists which is to take place on August 1^st, is not a specifically anti Islam one, this is a demonstration against ALL religious fundamentalists that have taken over Speaker’s Corner and who have driven out the political types. I believe that Ms Keen has stressed that this is an all women welcome event.

Here’s the video by Ms Keen.

It’s good to see women getting up and working to take back Speaker’s Corner from the religious fundamentalists. It’s highly historically appropriate that women play a major part in this endeavour as it was at Speakers Corner where Britain saw Suffragettes and other campaigners for women’s rights speak in favour of women’s right to vote in elections. The Suffragettes won the right to vote for women partly by engaging in public debate at places like Speaker’s Corner and maybe women can win the right for all to speak freely there without the violence and intimidation that comes from religious fundamentalists.

UPDATE:  According to a video put up by Ms Keen.  The meeting is being moved to The Reform Tree which is near to Speaker’s Corner.  Seems that they are worried about ‘male violence’ which is understandable but I very much doubt that such violence will come from the Christian fundamentalists that are present at Speaker’s Corner.
