Hang on, so both Scottow and FairCop are finding out on the 14th. Is this just a coincidence, or do the results depend on each other?

PenguindreamsofDraco · 07/02/2020 16:56

I rather love how the Mail has included a photo of SH today and the rather more flattering one SH uses on twitter. Say nothing, just lay it out there.

Sorry posted when internet down.

Angryresister · 07/02/2020 16:49

What happened?

Sexnotgender · 07/02/2020 16:46

Unbelievable.

RoyalCorgi · 07/02/2020 16:45

Sexnotgender: I'm pretty sure that Caro has reported the abuse and harassment she's been subjected to multiple times to the police, but they haven't taken action.

Sexnotgender · 07/02/2020 16:42

Why is the absolutely disgusting abuse and harassment that Caro was subjected to not a criminal act but this guff is? Is it simply that Caro hasn’t taken it to court?

It will be an interesting day for freedom of speech one way or another

I can't imagine the stress that both Harry and Kate are going through. I really hope that the verdicts are positive for both of them. This is an incredible threat to freedom of speech. But one positive thing is that many of us are watching and the somnabulant media, or at least parts of it, has woken up.

Michelleoftheresistance · 07/02/2020 16:36

Very odd. My tin foil hat is looking tempting.

Lordfrontpaw · 07/02/2020 16:35

Maybe it’s good news and the judges are donning their flameproof clothes and digging moats around their houses?

RoyalCorgi · 07/02/2020 16:35

Feb 14? How odd. The judge obviously needs some time to think about it.

It will be an interesting day for freedom of speech one way or another.

Melroses · 07/02/2020 16:33

Who knows. Harry's was going to be out early Jan.

scotsheather · 07/02/2020 16:28

Why such a delay it's only a days case.

Melroses · 07/02/2020 16:18

That's a long wait.

Michelleoftheresistance · 07/02/2020 16:17

Same day as Harry.

Ooh what a coincidence. Hmm

ArranUpsideDown · 07/02/2020 16:06

According to Maya on Twitter: Verdict to come Feb 14

RoyalCorgi · 07/02/2020 15:58

I feel so sorry for Kate. Even if she's found not guilty - as I hope she is - she has been put through the mill by someone who has a string of criminal convictions and has a history of referring to people on Twitter as "freaks" and "nutters". The police and the CPS should be utterly ashamed of themselves. They look like complete fools and misogynists.

andyoldlabour · 07/02/2020 15:00

Best of luck to Kate. The comments after the Mail article were pretty unanimous - a complete waste of police and judicial time and resources.

Michelleoftheresistance · 07/02/2020 13:45

The judicial system, the police and Twitter to this point have demonstrated repeatedly that what is sauce for the goose is definitely not sauce for the gander.

Demonstrating too that however the gander wishes to frame their sense of identity, it will involve selective and beneficial aspects only. The geese remain stuck with the unwanted aspects that cannot be identified out of. And all of the sauce.

Melroses · 07/02/2020 13:03

Whilst this trial is going on, the 'friends' keeping ramping up the abuse against other women. And the police do nothing Sad

AmIInvisible · 07/02/2020 13:01

SH is bringing the charge of using a public communications network to cause annoyance, inconvenience and anxiety......we could all claim XY individuals using twitter claiming to be women causes us annoyance and anxiety.

I'm not sure this is a very wise move for SH though considering the tweets she and the good Dr have aimed at Caro and if the judge sides with the prosecution on this point, could be the end of twitter as we all know and love it.

goldfinchfan · 07/02/2020 12:23

You have my support too.

MsMcWibble · 07/02/2020 11:53

Seems to be the case though,happy.
I am sincerely scared by what is happening to women.

happydappy2 · 07/02/2020 11:50

McWibble it appears that women just have to accept banter & intimidation (sometimes on a daily basis just walking down the street) whereas transwomen can pull out the old 'hate crime' card.
It is beyond belief that a fully grown XY individual has more protection under the law, than a woman.
