That would be speakers corner where some women met as a redirection point and got attacked.

I recognised her immediately at the time. I've known her for about 20 years, so yes, I'm as sure as I can be given the imperfect nature of the film.
She was the one apparently dragging someone away in a headlock or similar. If anyone can find the video on the original thread then maybe others who know her can have a look and see if they recognise her.

Time
She posted that she was there so it's hardly a secret that she attended.
Fuck off saying the feminists were the aggressors ffs. They organised a redirection point for a new meeting (previous one had been pressured into cancelling) and people turned up to have a pop at them.
This isn’t antifascism.

I watched it and most certainly did not recognise her trying to drag away her mate after the attack.

I'm not saying the feminists were the aggressors; I'm not saying HS was an aggressor.
I'm saying she was not only present but was physically involved in what went on. And if anyone can find the video that was posted (I can't remember the thread title ATM), I will happily point her out so that you and anyone else can make their own minds up.

Dragging her mate away is perhaps a better description, but that's who I'm talking about.
Surely it exists at the start of the original thread (and a million places all over twitter)

Like I said, I can't remember the name of the original thread which it appeared on. If anyone wants to remind me, then please do and I'll have another look.

What the fuck does it even have to do with anarchism?
A 84-85 style split is surely in the pipe.

Found it! It's from post 406 on page 14 of the original thread. I'm not tagging in the original poster because I don't think they're involved in the current thread.
HS is wearing dark jacket and trousers, blue shirt and green rucsac. She enters screen from the right at about 0.16 and drags someone else away. She's also visible in the background from about 0.34 onwards. It's easier to see if you watch at 1/4 speed.
I'm not saying anything about the rightness or wrongness of her actions on that occasion or on Saturday, but I'm as sure as I can be that it's her.
As butchers said above, there may have been unfinished business with her, although I have no idea what happened on Saturday other than what I've read here, and have no idea who any of the other people involved were.
ETA in fact, she's also visible in the still pic before you start the video

I though get the videos happened really early on - especially given that’s what the thread was about.
Women were attacked for wanting a meeting to discuss what it means to be women. Let that sink in.

Once again, I'm simply saying that she was present and involved on that occasion, not passing any judgement about what happened then or on Saturday

Are you sure? How are you sure? How well do you know her?
She and I have lived in the same part of Tottenham for 20 years and I have known her in various contexts, met and talked to her one-on-one and in various groups regularly and frequently in that time. I'm sure it's her.

Because a) i know her too and b) the person who it was has talked at length about it, and was identified by the enemy - all in that thread you went back and took it from.

Can you expand on this bit, I'm not sure if I read all the thread after the first 20 odd pages.

The person that you think is HS has been IDed as someone else - by all sides.

Where? If this is covered in that thread, maybe you can provide a link

No, i don't think that i can be bothered. Take it or leave it. Half of the fucking thread was about who that person was and why she was a terf ffs.
I'm from the estates nearby. That was a quiet party.
I'd read that as intervening to drag someone away from being whelped on by other people.
