Great news! Well done FPFW!

Well done to all concerned.
Hopefully there are some more 'corrections' and settlements in the pipeline - especially on a day when finally the Guardian and BBC have been shamed into admitting that women do have legitimate concerns.

That is really good news and a blinding letter too

Excellent news!

Wow - great stuff.

Fantastic news. It seems to be a pretty good week so far...not that most of the coverage from certain parts of the media isn't balanced but at least it's being covered.

Excellent! Apparently it was an article written by Owl ( of Fox and Owl). Interestingly, they write for the Guardian too...

Silly old owl. Not so very wise eh?

Excellent!

Maybe The Guardian got wind of this and that’s why they’ve allowed some GC this week...

Outstanding work.
Stupid Owl.

Ah, of course!

“Maybe The Guardian got wind of this and that’s why they’ve allowed some GC this week...”

I hope this is the first of many legal challenges. The coverage might become less biased once a few papers have been forced to pay up for publishing defamatory lies.

Oh please do Dr. ...head next. The stuff he has said, must be a million times worse than a newspaper.

Excellent news!

About time too. The Independent should have just apologised when the MOD confirmed FPFW estimates.

Fuck you, Owl, by the way.

Well done FPFW! Glad you won - as you should have done, because your stats were accurate, as the MoJ subsequently confirmed.

Yay!!!!

This week just gets better and better.

Well done FPFW - awesome women.

That’s Owl and Little OJ, peeved in one day. Bet they’re both fuming😂

The whole article is still up with a small paragraph at the end explaining why the whole article is rubbish but anyone who doesn't read to the end wouldn't find that out. Am I wrong in thinking the disclaimer should be at the top?

MOJ above, sorry!

I see Joss Prior has produced a video trying to 'debunk' FPFW's work. It's quite dull and repetitive, but the main point seems to be that trans people are mainly in prison for 'poverty-related petty crimes'. If they're committing crime at the same rate as other men as suggested by the Swedish survey, it's not the same kind of crime. This seems to be a lot of evidence-free wishful thinking on JP's part.

Next up The Guardian?
