Bash Back Publishes Guide Targeting MP Offices and Advocacy Groups

GB News reported that Bash Back published a guide encouraging activists to target the constituency offices of MPs, advocacy organizations, and public figures it considers transphobic. The guide lists the east London office of Health Secretary Wes Streeting as a suitable example.

" It advises methods to avoid identification, including changing clothes after actions, wiping equipment with alcohol to remove DNA traces, and using cash-purchased prepaid SIM cards.

Bash Back describes its campaign as non-violent. The group was founded after the UK Supreme Court's ruling that the definition of a woman under the Equality Act is based on biological sex. Its guide also lists Sex Matters, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and the Free Speech Union as organizations to consider protesting.

Earlier this year Bash Back claimed responsibility for accessing the Free Speech Union's online systems and publishing the names of donors who contributed more than £50 over the previous two years. The Free Speech Union obtained an emergency High Court injunction requiring the information to be removed.

Lord Young of Acton, general secretary of the Free Speech Union, stated that the group's actions, including vandalism, disruption of events, and cyber attacks, were intended to "bully, harass and intimidate" those with whom it disagreed.

He added that while Bash Back was entitled to express its views, its tactics sought to prevent others from exercising the same freedoms.
