Around 50 police officers have been drafted in to keep two crowds of protesters separate at a Kellie-Jay Keen rally in Belfast today – just weeks after the women’s rights campaigner was pelted with tomato sauce in New Zealand.
Hundreds of people gathered in the Donegall Quay area of the city centre on Sunday afternoon to hear Keen, also known as Posie Parker, calling counter-protesters ‘f***ing deranged’.
Parker, who has repeatedly said she is ‘not a feminist’, addressed the ‘Let Women Speak’ demonstration beside the city’s ‘Big Fish’ landmark.
It comes after Keen fled New Zealand last month after being pelted with eggs and doused in tomato sauce by activists against her gender critical views.
