Yeah pygmy. Gin needed for you after

I'm actually wondering how noisy we should be about the employers' counsel's mistakes. If this thread is being read etc

This poor fella is finding his woke training to be a bit useless in a tribunal.

In his own reality it's going really well.

OvaHere · 18/11/2019 12:25

I’m at the tribunal. Person sitting a few down from me who I think is for the employer was on this thread on her phone. That might explain some of the reporting.

Waves at monitors. Chin up, you're probably going to need some Gin and Wine after all this. Grin

Does anyone know what happens to thread unrolls if the tweets are deleted/reported?

Not sure what planet this witness is from.

Planet man, is where he lives. He hasn't noticed women, well not until they said something men didn't like.

BovaryX · 18/11/2019 12:21

^CC - would CGD hire a secretary who couldn’t type but identified as a typist?

RW - [swerves question]^

perhaps these misogynists think that identifying as a woman is so demeaning that even a paedophile or rapist wouldn't defile themselves to that extent.

And yet..

The twitter thread is chunk after chunk of solid gold. Please please can someone save it in case it goes pouff. I have no idea how.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 18/11/2019 12:19

How fucking stupid do you have to be to not realise that some men will abuse this?

These people are not stupid, this is the real end goal.

OvaHere · 18/11/2019 12:19

Witness now doesn't understand what 'consideration for women' is.

Imagine admitting that in court.

definitelygc · 18/11/2019 12:18

How fucking stupid do you have to be to not realise that some men will abuse this? Look at the lengths Jimmy Saville went to to abuse children! Or perhaps these misogynists think that identifying as a woman is so demeaning that even a paedophile or rapist wouldn't defile themselves to that extent.

mateysmum · 18/11/2019 12:18

He's now essentiially pretending he doesn't understand the question about what consideration was given to women's views. He simply cannot frame an answer.

Not sure what planet this witness is from.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 18/11/2019 12:16

Sorry wrong thread.

BovaryX · 18/11/2019 12:16

CGD HR director has just said that at CGD Rachel Dolezal would be to all intents and purposes black. If wildwomanwritingclub has recorded events faithfully, Maya's counsel said 'isn't the reality that she's not black', and he has replied the reality is she's black

Good. Grief. This is barking mad

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 18/11/2019 12:16

No doubt some new poster will be along in a moment to liven up the thread and try to have it deleted that way.

OvaHere · 18/11/2019 12:15

Yeah cos men have never gone to ridiculous lengths to find victims have they?

Callmejudith · 18/11/2019 12:14

The RW is just digging that hole.

Now saying he finds it "outrageous" to think that men would pretend to be women to rape a women on a sleeper train.

Wow

Callmejudith · 18/11/2019 12:11

I think the judge is on side

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/11/2019 12:11

I have to say that I think Maya's well out of that place. It sounds like an absolute hive of wokeness. I'd be driven insane.

CaveMum · 18/11/2019 12:10

@OvaHere there are some suggesting on Twitter that the thread is being mass reported (who would do a thing like that 🤔) hence why it seems to disappear and reappear.

Is anyone saving it periodically?

OvaHere · 18/11/2019 12:07

What's interesting is that I'm finding it harder to follow today's tweets. It's clearly not WWWC as she is an excellent live tweeter. I think it's indicative of what an incredible clear and concise witness Maya was on Friday.

This witness is just garbled nonsense.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/11/2019 12:05

How far can this go?

A long time ago I was a school governor. At a training event another governor regaled us with a story of how a new headteacher had been appointed at their school. There were some concerns about the head's performance and a request was made for the Head to produce degree certificates to back up what had been said in the application. There was an unaccountable delay and one day the Chair insisted on going into the Head's office to talk matters over. The Head was discovered in her office in the process of forging a set of certificates. Sacked on the spot for gross misconduct.

She missed her time. Nowadays she would just have to explain that she identified as having all the qualifications she claimed. Asking for material evidence would be a hate crime.
