I have sent a request so we will see.

I don't think we can share the witness statement.

JM basically calling JP a liar and a incident didn't happen, she is trying to rattle her.

Are we allowed to share the witness statement? I know Allison's was widely available because she published it herself.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 05/10/2023 11:03

She's doing so well, incredibly measured and calm.

MavisMcMinty · 05/10/2023 11:00

Do you have a link to her statement, please?

Yes you can see why her areas of interest in academia are what they are, very strong woman.

I have been reading it too. What a woman. Like Allison Bailey, forged by fire.

I'm starting to honestly think it's some sort of performance art. An exercise in how long before someone says For Fucks Sake and takes a swig of something strongly alcoholic.

I've been reading Prof Jo's witness statement. I've only got to page 8, but bloody hell she had a tough start in life.

Chrysanthemum5 · 05/10/2023 10:47

It is so hard to hear everyone except Jo is she the only one with a microphone or is she just able to speak clearly more than the others?!

LipbalmOrKnickers · 05/10/2023 10:45

Dr Downes is definitely now a they/them.

Yes I think Dr Downes are they/them.

God, Jo having to being careful to use correct pronouns for Dr Downes is jarring.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 05/10/2023 10:39

OU counsel restating her characterisation of JP's email as 'brusque'.

katmarie · 05/10/2023 10:38

ok I'm in now...

LipbalmOrKnickers · 05/10/2023 10:37

I can see there are still four people waiting in the lobby - what is going on?

katmarie · 05/10/2023 10:36

Still waiting here

MyLadyDisdainlsYetLiving · 05/10/2023 10:36

I miss EJ Goodman and her extremely precise timing of breaks, no rounding to the nearest 15 minutes.

LipbalmOrKnickers · 05/10/2023 10:35

Back in.

CriticalCondition · 05/10/2023 10:34

They really, really need to get their act together on turning off the sound in a break. I did not want to hear the personal thing.

Melissamelisante · 05/10/2023 10:34

14 waiting in the gallery

Discussion with security around coming in to remove anyone using a device without permission. Then unfortunately something that seemed extremely personal so I won't repeat.

They were discussing the gallery people using devices/laptops to type. The press are allowed to use them, but no one else. Nothing bad was said.

What did you hear said?
