Direct Action
United Kingdom
Приєднався 9 тра 2016
Throughout the 1980's I was involved in various political events with other women; The South London Hospital for Women Occupation, the Stop Clause 28 and Stop Section 28 Campaigns, which included the non-violent direct action protests of chaining ourselves to Buckingham Palace, abseiling into the House Of Lords and the invasion of the BBC News studios at 6.0clock, plus initiating and organising the filming of the SM Debate at London Women's Centre in 1988/89. I have had these VHS tapes collecting dust and now that nearly 30 years have transpired since the start of my activist adventures I thought recently that it might be time to blow off the dust and upload, I hope you enjoy these historic events, although some are of bad quality footage, all are without doubt... quality moments in time.

Out On Tuesday was a L&G current affairs programme in the 1980s, this edition covers Lesbian & Gay political action since Stonewall
FUCKING LESBIAN PERVERTS....
ACTION WITCHELL
Imagine people abseiling by saying bring back clause nowadays
Legends
How young everyone looks and Red even looks quite shy in the clip, which is a surprise, and it doesn't even look like Stela must be the aging film ;-)
Do you have the whole programme?
Pure professionalism from Sue Lawley - you carry on. That is your job, to read the news. Let the security team (who were useless, as they allowed them to gain access to the studio) get them out. Imagine if they had weapons, knives, guns even. Could've been a massacre live on air. BBC security was useless and pathetic

Should have been kept mostly, when people think nuclear family is two same parents. Two same parents?! should be termed dad and partner or mum snd partner.
I am having trouble finding out if you are anti LGBT or pro LGBT from your sentence above
@@johnking5174 wait til u hear the term birthing parent
@@andybray9791 Well I am a gay man, so from your words, I seem to think you are not exactly on our side.
@@johnking5174 major religions and me don’t mind u guys esp with emotional companionship (just not other things except humanists) Some of Us straight people have been immoral having s- before marriage) and we need help from u guys. We are sorry for the harm cruel physicians etc put on you I’ll never forgive them, parents disowning and abusing is wrong. Even someone not of orientation maybe locked up (before 1967) living with same sex and being in arms with each other. Strange that the government made lesbians always legal but not men same attracted they were idiots.
@@andybray9791 I believe lesbians were always made legal, as governments of the time and the ruling classes never ever thought that two females could have sex. You can see their idiot thinking here. So they simply ignored lesbians. They were never included in the laws. Because men have a penis and can fuck other men, that is why the "buggery" laws were brought in by King Henry VIII.
Fabulous dy*es! Getting shit done! It was a contemptable, evil, nasty policy
Looks mild by the way we are going now. We watch things happen.
I recall well the headline of one of the tabloids; "BEEB MAN SITS ON LESBIAN!"
If Keir Starmer has his way the House of Lords will be entirely made up of abseiling lesbians
Between 1987 and 1989 the Late Carol Barnes was the main co presenter of News at Ten
How brave of Nicholas Witchell to hold the two women back and then sit on one of them. That's what makes this county great: men sitting on women. Well done to those brave lesbians.
For all he knew, they could have been about to attack Sue Lawley.
They were lunatic bitches. This incident proves what nutcases these crazy protesters truly are
Well done to the brave lesbians!
Do you think that The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (The House of Peers) feared for their lives as four lesbians entered the chamber? Well done Black Rod for saving them.
Actually they probably did.
Animate charisma.
As a kid, I didn’t know why the “lesbians” had stormed the news room...now I know it was a protest about Section 28, I fully support them.
@cazharris5581 I'm a gay man and I'd support the gay "brothers" and lesbian "sisters"
Those who. critical s Russia and think Britain is a haven of free s peech should be made to look at this 1988 clip.
Sue Lawley. Such class and poise and grace!!!
Soviet Army... Gorbachev and Reagan. Relatively peaceful times as the cold war was coming to an end... or so we thought. "Glasnost and Peristroika."!! Brings back memories. I remember watching this live in 1988.
I remember watching this and was about to come of age a fortnight after the news broke!
People peacefully trespassing in a parliament. Surely it is an insurrection.
Carol mentioning about Sue and Nick being invaded by women protesters.
Sorry if this sounds irrelevant, but I'm a heterosexual and that female blonde news anchor at the start is one of the most beautiful and sexiest women I've ever seen in my life. Her face is pretty, her short hair is nice, her nose is nice, her eyebrows are nice. On the point of the homosexual women who stormed the BBC, they did a good job because they made the public more aware of the dangers of Section 28. Also it's sad that many homosexuals were bullied and killed after Section 28 was passed.
night before my brother was born
I love this, Good 4 them
2:48 I guess this was where Nicholas Witchell sat on a female protester and held his hand over her mouth.
A case of In the Nick of Time!
Nothing would stand in the way of Witchell delivering the news: presenter strikes, power cuts, lesbian protesters, grumpy Prince Charles on a mountain. All except the arrival of Meghan's baby, but some believe the facts at his disposal were sketchy, and so his conscience was scrambled.
From August 1988 Nichoals Witchell was main lead
Did Sue Lawley got sacked from the six oclock news or did she leave
Sue left the programme in 1989 to host her own Saturday night show "Saturday Matters with Sue Lawley" before leaving to work for a while at ITV. In 1992 she returned to the BBC to host Biteback.
Legendary. Trans liberation now! 🏳️🌈
The House of Lords is entirely made up of men who just lurv dressing up.
What you mean "trans liberation"? You have a handful of laws and protectio just by demand. What don't you have that you need to keep parasiting gay and lesbian struggles?
Nothing to do with trans. They weren't even helping.
Well done 2 yhem
1989 hence the 20th anniversary of the Stonewall riots
I remember this happening and was just two weeks shy of my eighteenth birthday. It made headline news!
RIP Carol Barnes 1944-2008
I well remember Carol Barnes reading the news and was thirty-eight when she died!
Day before my brother was born
night before my brother was born
Lesbians lesbians a woman takes another for her lover
Proud of them
Awesome. Legends.
Mark Steyn is talking about this incident today.
Heroes.
LEGENDSS
Section 28 was finally repealed in 2003. I still remember that, and the equalization of the age of consent, both felt like huge advances.
English freaks who cannot pwonounce the letter R 😂 Can't bear Sue Lawley (see 'Wogan Vivienne Westwood' interview)
You mean people all the round the world who happen to have a lisp? Bloody hell, you sound stupid
“So, let us not be blind to our differences--but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” JFK, 1963
01:49 Once upon a time there were only lesbian women and gay men. No transgender, genderfluid, cis, nonbinary, pansexual... A simpler world.
And now the trans fascists are trying to oppress lesbians and gay men by saying homosexuality is transphobic.
frodoopark no, they have not. They have their own movement.
What is vital right now, in a world which is changing so rapidly, there are certain inalienable human rights. The right to food and water, which many are devoid of. The right to fair employment, which those in sweatshops are denied. The right to protest for basic human rights, which we see is now being eroded in HK. Every human being who stands for freedom must be united...straight, bi, gay, trans, black, white, native, rich, poor, boomer, millenial...whatever term is used remember our basic biinding ties...we are all human. Peace and love.x
@@DeepScreenAnalysis yes they have. Marsha p johnson threw the first brick, a black trans woman
@@thekalenichannel1812 No, she didn't. Marsha didn't turn up to the riots for two hours. Google it.
Sue Lawley just carries on calm and collected with the 'I'm sorry for the noise but we have rather been invaded but I'll just ignore it and carry on' attitude.
madabbafan Sue did a good job staying calm. I, on the other hand, wouldn’t have been so lucky. I would still read the headlines, but say it louder and apologise and call the protestors fools who should not be here.
@@danielsrandomchannel1472 "Fools" lmao they were rightfully protesting a shitty bigoted law and they accomplished exactly what they set out to do.
Nobody pronounces the word 'intolerable' quite like a posh English person.
