Allison's case is due to be heard later this month and given the delays and attempts to have the case struck out, as well as the addition of direct discrimination based on GC beliefs to the case, costs have mounted.

The case is scheduled to run for 20 days (5 to 10 days being the norm).

Ben Cooper QC is representing Allison.

I'm off to plant some more flowers to really catch the sunlight that no doubt will be shining during the 20 days of her case. I thought I had enough, but more are needed because of the extension, unfortunately, which has left a bit of a bare patch!

I've added a few spring bulbs today. Very glad to see Allison has raised over £230k already. This is such an important case. Hopefully it will fatally damage Stonewall's credibility as it currently operates.

I have been in the garden again today, in spite of the cold. And i will do again

Wow

There are some men on twitter very unhappy that Allison wants a court to test whether stonewall colluded to restrict Allison's career/earnings.

Right side of history right there Hmm

I can't get on to her website, both my computer and phone block it as "unsupported protocol" . Has anyone else found this?

Simonedinovoir · 02/04/2022 16:15

I’ve planted some summer-flowering bulbs, for a profusion of colour on a low budget.

Xiaoxiong · 02/04/2022 16:04

More Ben!! I would pay good money to watch him argue case law every day of the week!

Just found some bulbs down the back of the sofa and have planted them.

ickky · 02/04/2022 15:31

Does anyone know if it will be available to watch, like Maya's?

@chilling19

DrDetriment - MNHQ don't like us posting crowdfunder directly, so we use gardening refs, particularly digging deep instead. 😂
Thank you! Great idea.
DisappearingGirl · 02/04/2022 13:21

Thanks for the reminder - have contributed again to Allison's case. Very important

BettyFilous That was outrageous, wasn't it? And a stupid move by them - just think of all the revenue they have passed up because of that decision (I always uncheck the box to donate to crowdjustice when I donate to other causes)

I had an email update, but for those new to this, if you search her name, the website is among the first few hits

Just donated again. Im convinced I'm going to win the lottery one day and when I do, I'll top up these cases to the target amounts.
Wish it would hurry up though.

Datun · 02/04/2022 12:37

@BettyFilous

Allison doesn't use a commercial crowd funding platform as the TRAs mobbed CrowdJustice and got her funder cancelled. Hmm She had to create her own website to fundraise. Angry I would follow links from her Twitter account which is something like Blue Sky Allison. Someone else will have her proper Twitter handle.
They're, quite understandably, shitting it.

As determined as they are to stop her talking, i'm more determined to help finance her voice.

Digginggggg

MN doesn't permit links to fundraising activities by others DrDetriment. Therefore, mentioning that a fundraising activity is going on is referred to in coded terms as though what they're doing is raising crops on their allotment. Then posters here might decide to help them with their horticultural work.

Have dug again - good luck Allison

DrDetriment · 02/04/2022 12:24

I've been following the feminist boards for a while and am GC but I don't understand all the gardening references that often come up. Is anyone able to fill me in please? Thank you.

DERFDogmaExlusionary · 02/04/2022 12:20

This case is huge and will reverberate around the world including Canada (where one of the harassers came from)

CoraggioCara · 02/04/2022 12:14

Thanks for the reminder.
