Judgement will be here on Monday, finally. It's been about 9 months since the appeal.

This was a good article by Sarah Phillimore if anyone needs a recap.

This is really important: not just because it removes one weapon in our opponent’s armoury to attack us but it confirms that our Polizei’s remit is to enforce the laws that our elected officials make, not to make laws and/or directions according to how they would like the law to be. Sound familiar at all?

@PronounssheRa

Great news, will this apply retrospectively and will the police now have to update all records where non crime hate incidents have been recorded
I don't think that's clear yet. Faircop twitter account and Sarah phillimore both said on twitter that they don't know yet, and the free speech union press release doesn't mention it. But i dont know how quickly the written judgement becomes available so it might all become clear when everyone has had a chance to digest that.

Fantastic news. Bit by bit sanity returns.

In my opinion it must lead to the erasure of all recorded non crime hate incidents from the database as to hold them would breach this ruling.

Very well done Harry. Presumably this will not be appealed because Priti Patel has already criticised the practice back in April.

Helleofabore · 20/12/2021 11:14

This is great!!! I look forward to reading it through. I am sure there is some very handy quotes contained within.

supercritter · 20/12/2021 11:07

Best news. Well done. Should never have been necessary

exLtEveDallas · 20/12/2021 11:05

Absolutely brilliant news! So pleased for Harry and FairCop Grin

VestofAbsurdity · 20/12/2021 10:59

Yes, yes yes!

Brilliant news.

littlbrowndog · 20/12/2021 10:59

Well done Harry 🙌🏽🙌🏽🎉🎉🎉

eurochick · 20/12/2021 10:58

That's great news!

OvaHere · 20/12/2021 10:58

Great news. None of this idiocy should ever have got this far.

Hoardasurass · 20/12/2021 10:57

🥳
I bet the TRAs will be kicking off over this as they have now lost 1 of their biggest weapons Grin

Mumsnut · 20/12/2021 10:55

Well Do e and THANK YOU to Harry and Co

@PenguindreamsofDraco

Very good news. Shame it's been rather co-opted by Laurence Fox, but a great and deserved win nonetheless.

Will we get to find out who Ms B is now?

Yes I was thinking the same. Is faircop still a separate entity from the reclaim party?

Anyway, I look forward to reading the judgement.

Datun · 20/12/2021 10:53

Good. Well done Harry.

Manderleyagain · 20/12/2021 10:51

Really good news. The recording of non crime hate incidents against people's names id unlawful. Because it interferes with article 10 rights and will have a chilling effect on public debate.

Well done FairCop and Harry Miller.

Harry won!

Court has ruled that the recording of non-crime hate incidents is an unlawful interference in freedom of expression.

Oh sorry its on Monday not Friday. Will hold my horses!

Manderleyagain · 17/12/2021 11:37

Thanks OP. Nothing in the faircop twitter as yet. Suppose that means they're in court listening.

Signalbox · 16/12/2021 20:10

To add, if Harry loses, then Sarah Phillimore and 'Miss B' will proceed with their own similar case, but this time focusing on Article 8

So does this mean Harry has already decided he won't appeal if he loses?

Signalbox · 16/12/2021 20:08

Oh brilliant. It's been such a long wait!

MrsOvertonsWindow · 16/12/2021 19:57

I wonder whether the top secret "trans training" that the judiciary received will have any impact on the outcome?
