The WI washes its hands of Threaty McThreatface.

So he never was a member? He was a supporter, not a member? Did they ask him how he identifies?

    Had those death threats regarding mass murder been made by someone who was upset that TW were allowed in the WI there is no way such vague, uninformative “breached our supporters T’s & Cs” language woul have been used. Instead there would have been very specific charges and I don’t know how much attention & support given to TW. Maybe a preemptive candlelight vigil.

    From the current WI Join us page:

    Become a member

    Looking to join a WI that has regular in-person or online meetings, or interested in becoming an Associate member? Become a member of the WI.

    Become a Supporter

    Interested in our campaigns and the WI movement but unable to attend regular meetings or living overseas? Become a Supporter and get involved.

    So in WI terms, Varma joined, but not as a Member (at £46/year), but as a Supporter Plus (at £18/year). I poked around on The Wayback Machine, and I found that WI Supporter options “went live” this month, about April 4. So at least the WI has been consistent about joining as a Member versus a Supporter.
