I think it's fine to have the neutrality policy for their attendees. For their speakers, they need to raise the bar. If they're going to give the mic to those Maoists, they may as well have a BNP stall, and one for people who think the royal family are Reptilians.

I don't care about them being in the buiding, however shitty their politics, but those women should not have been anywhere near a speaking slot. Or been given a stall. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if it came out that they'd been tasked with disrupting or destroying the conference.

And tbh it bothers me that Filia hasn't yet acknowledged the situation. It's not a small fuckup, especially as those women were claiming that Filia was fully aware and approving of their posts. I am currently assuming that is false because it seems too stupid of them. I hope they're taking legal advice.

The account's made its posts public again. Saw a few people tagging the police but idk if it's gone any further than that.

Tho lol at comment I saw going "I hope Prevent are involved"! She's a US citizen! Not our problem. I assume she'll get deported and banned from the UK if she's still kicking around. Probably easier than charging her.

Also seems weird: all the accts associated with that "magazine" do this thing where they get a picture of something they've written, hilight some random part of it, then post it. Same hilight colour, too. It's really odd and it's all of them. If two of them hadn't been physically at the conference, I would have assumed they were all troll accts piloted by one person. Their posts sure read like botfarm shit. As it is... Maybe this is some weird habit of Kids These Days, maybe it's just two women with a million socks (btw it's sliiiightly odd how they seem to know nothing of radical feminism and are in no radfem spaces but have latched onto the radfem label), or maybe they're getting paid to cause trouble.

I've archived the TWV About page in case they try to bury it later:

I think you're safe to assume any woman involved in editing that publication is not someone you'd want to work with on anything serious, so it's quite nice of them to provide a database. :P

Am trying to find any good evidence that the founders (who are also founders of some twitter radfem book club) are not men. They've clearly got some women on the editorial team, but not sure beyond that.
