Maya Forstater Tribunal March 2022- Thread 2

Oooh, Ben just accused MP of being texted about the case, but it was actually the judge’s phone that went off!

Cringe!

They have requested and been granted anonymity.

TRA Twitter are claiming that Tribunal Tweets are biased and therefore not following them 🙄

I do like the effectiveness of the BC question, which he's using all the way through: Can you tell us any other example when a decision was taken to [do what was done in the case of MF]?

I guess it's a useful question in Employment Tribunals where a key issue is discrimination.

Does anyone know why some complainants aren’t to be named?

Wasn't she handing out leaflets re her political views which her colleagues found offensive?

No, she wasn't. Read the live tweets and the witness statements.

BIWI no need to try and argue reality. It's all listed in these threads and in the tweets and in the linked documents in the OP and on Maya's website.

This is all they have.

Was she, Margarita? I expect the tribunal judges will have all the evidence in front of them.

Oh yes - the evidence that she left a single leaflet on a single desk she had been using on a single occasion - an admitted one-time violation of the clean desk policy. Off with her head!

Marg, that's been covered.
I imagine you'll get kicked off if you keep writing untrue things about an ongoing courtcase on here.

I don't know why you'd want to, but that's on you.
You do believe a lot of untrue things, and you seem ok with that, but to use this forum to publish them isn't really in the spirit of decent debate.

From the submission I read (from Maya) she brought back one leaflet from a demonstration or meeting or protest (sorry can't remember which). ONE leaflet, which she offered to lend to people.

Similar to what a group of gender-criticals (including Marion Millar) did at an Edinburgh restaurant which the staff called the police on them to get them to leave?

You are obsessed with MM this is about Maya Forstater, please pay attention.

I was thinking BC is like Erin Brockovich - where she starts listing telephone numbers and stuff!

My impression is that you don't trust or agree with what people here tell you. Your best possible source of information, should you wish to be appropriately informed, would be to consult the document bundles that contains witness statements and timelines from all the parties.

Wasn't she handing out leaflets re her political views which her colleagues found offensive?

This is untrue.

And you would probably work out whether work in one area complemented or detracted from work in another. In most cases having an extra staff member who is self financed is beneficial providing their work is of good quality even though they might do stuff that is unrelated to other work you are doing

[quote drwitch]@PoshPyjamas no she had Anya Palmer (who was excellent, also made mincemeat of LE), the issue in the first one was that the judge had been benchbooked[/quote]
So hang on here just a moment. LE had ALREADY been examined and cross-examined in an earlier hearing, and he STILL came across as totally unprepared and unable to understand the issues? Sheeeeesh.

Ben Cooper's brain must be like the tardis. Looks from the outside average in size, but it's many magnitudes larger on the inside. He's about 3 steps ahead of MP and you can see he's anticipated MP claiming illicit tax flows weren't important - Ben listing several reports which says it was.

It's like he can see inside their souls 😬

They send you joining instructions as a pdf at the end of their reply. Open them, click on ‘To join by web browser use this link’ and add the pin no. on the same document. Then TURN YOUR MIC OFF AS SOON AS YOU GET IN!!!!

So now they are arguing that she was let go because her work did not fit in. This is really not how these things work. - As a think tank you might have a general strategy that you might want to move in a particular direction but in the short term you would go where the money is

Hang on, @drwitch - you say Anya Palmer made mincemeat of Luke Easley (LE, yes?) the first time round and here he is, still presenting himself to be made mincemeat of a second time?

Will Luke never learn?

BC: Papers from board meeting in 2017. Says CGD will focus on... (includes IFF).

MP: That's what it says.

BC: Is it true?

MP: I wasn't there and can't tell you.

BC: For a number of weeks you were.

MP: I wasn't closely involved with the strategy.

BC: Papers for a 2018 board meeting: CGD current research and policy work = illicit financial flows and tax. Was it important in 2018?

MP: It was an area in 2018.

[BC continuing in same vein here.]
