The picture shown above was taken at a campaign speech event attended by the Labour party. I don’t know who organised the event it doesn’t matter what matters is two or more Labour candidates were in the audience and/or giving speeches.
To a segregated audience. Right.
What gender segregation means is every wife, sister and daughter was separated from every husband, father and brother when did they separate? It doesn’t make sense for all of them to have traveled separately so presumably most of them went in family groups and only separated when they got through the hallowed doors. Men traveling alone were probably fine they just strolled in but what about women were they allowed to travel alone risking jostling shoulders or perhaps brushing against a male in some more personal area of the body, you know on the way through all the non segregated traffic and public? How would a lone woman dare?!
Are voting stations to be segregated? if not will some women dare to enter one alone or is it more likely that the all powerful male will take her there, lead her to the booth and tell her who to vote for, that’s if he hasn’t already taken care of the problem by opting for a postal vote for himself and his family after all why not make sure the right cross goes on the right name and who is to know if its his cross or hers?
And Labour the party formed to bring equality to the disadvantaged agreed to speak at the venue.
What needs to happen is Labour should apologise for their gross error of judgement and they and every other political party should make clear that they will not attend future segregated venues and every political party needs to make clear that segregation and block voting will be stopped.
