And in Wales:

Women’s rights charity FiLiA had booked a stand at Plaid Cymru Conference, hoping to use the opportunity to talk to delegates and Plaid Cymru politicians about a range of grass roots campaigns they support.

With less than 48 hours to go, the charity was told that they would not be welcome, and their stall booking was revoked.

The Plaid Cymru message:

“While there are many issues and campaigns on which I expect we would agree, it has come to my attention that some of FiLiA’s positions are potentially contrary to the party’s values – for instance on trans rights. We welcome robust debate, but must balance this with the need for our delegates from all backgrounds to feel as though the party conference is a safe space for them to express their identity comfortably.

I regret therefore that we will be unable to welcome you to Caernarfon this week. I’m sorry for the late notice.”

No terfs, in other words. No debate. Sensitive trans identities must be respected.

Honestly, what's going on with these Celts?
