GB News host Patrick Christys has highlighted a pattern of male-perpetrated abuse against women's rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, following an attack at a Sheffield rally yesterday.
The incident occurred as Keen-Minshull, also known as Posie Parker, was preparing to speak at the "Let Women Speak Sheffield" event. Video footage shows a bearded man in dark clothing pouring soup over Keen-Minshull's head before fleeing the scene. He was quickly apprehended by police officers.

Speaking about the incident, Patrick said: "Shocking stuff that really, you know, Kellie-Jay Keen goes out and campaigns for women. A lot of regular viewers and listeners to this show will know who she is.
"And wherever she goes, she kind of runs a gauntlet of abuse almost entirely committed by men. And that was apparently no different."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
A large group of counter-protesters, including students from local universities' LGBTQ+ societies, attempted to drown out Keen-Minshull's speech.
They played loud music and chanted slogans like "Fascist scum off our streets" and "there are many, many more of us than you."
Keen-Minshull responded by directing insults at the counter-protesters, calling them "arseholes," "degenerates," and "pathetic".
She also made disparaging comments about their appearances and singled out specific individuals for criticism.

This is not the first time that the activist has been targeting with soup.
Keen was forced to leave Australia during her "Let Women Speak" last year where she was mobbed by counter protestors and covered in tomato soup before being taken away under police protection.
Posting on X at the time she said: "A long campaign to assassinate my character, started by a group of jealous spiteful women in the UK, that I had ambitions besides stopping the mutilation of children and the erasure of women's rights. The end result was that I spent most of my day with the protection of police who genuinely believed I was lucky to be alive.
'The advice was that I should go home. I was never the things that I have been accused of. I don't even believe they believe it, they just say it because they cannot accept a woman walking her own path and wants other women to find their feet and walk theirs.'

She added: "The powerful are seeking to silence us, we must continue to speak They are afraid of us. So much love to the women of New Zealand, we see you. The world is talking about you.
The 48-year-old said she feared for her life during the event in 2023.
"I genuinely thought if I fell to the floor I would never get up again, my children would lose their mother and my husband would lose his wife," she wrote.
"My security saved my life today, no words can express my gratitude."
