Fringe event taking place on Thursday was initially cancelled because some staff were uncomfortable with MP’s views
Heightened security measures will be in place at Joanna Cherry’s Edinburgh fringe event this week as a result of safety fears. The SNP MP is due to speak at the Stand on Thursday in a show that was initially cancelled because some members of staff at the venue felt uncomfortable with her “gender critical” views.
Cherry claimed there the event posed threats to her personal safety. Attendees will have bags searched and no alcohol will be served at the venue while the show is going on. Metal detectors will also be used.
