According to swinney the Scottish government has nothing to fear as they've always obeyed the law 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

They didn’t understand the law!

Not sure if this bluesky post from JM has been discussed. Is this not considered as bringing his legal profession into disrepute? Why was Lucy Connolly punished so severely for her tweet but this scroat is untouched? He's goading the public to commit crimes.

And wasn't Bluesky set up to be the alternative nice version of X? I'm not on it and don't intend to either.

He's an absolute loon if he thinks that anyone outside of the blue hair, BlueSky, punch a terf faction of society will do anything at all.

But it will be fun to watch him riding to arms, then realising that there's only about twenty fuckwits behind him...

I think a dignified silence on the part of JKR would have more effect now - going forward.

It won't end well if it continues on X etc. although I can understand completely that JKR responds as she sees fit, and maybe opens the eyes of others in the process.

Do you think that "dignified silence" would have got women to this point?

Don't you think that "silence" is what they want of us? In fact used to demand, in the days of #nodebate?

FFS. Is Swinney getting his legal advice from Jolyon? These people are halfwits.

I have thought of reporting a concern to The Bar Standards Board. He is posting this drivel using his position as a KC and the GLP name. He really believes he is above the law.

I believe he’s been reported numerous times but nothing has happened 🤷🏻‍♀️

murasaki · 26/05/2025 18:16

I think he's not practicing these days, seeing as how that's too much like hard work and not as well paid as grifting, so I suspect they'd say it wasn't any of their business.

JustBitetheKnotsOff · 26/05/2025 18:15

"Precipitous toilet policies"?

That's a bit... steep.

Brings me back to the rest of the 'clever' people, like James O'Brien. Do you feel comfortable being on the same side as this guy, James?

I suspect he is delighted about how much money he's raised on the back of promising his fans that he will overturn the Supreme Court ruling.

No doubt he thinks this will run and run.

He was, after all, very explicit, telling them it will take a long time and it will be very expensive

Show quote history

It’s still a tiny drop in the ocean compared to JKR’s resources, his total crowdfunding is probably equivalent to the loose change she finds down the back of the sofa.

He’s such an embarrassment, the language he uses is SO juvenile, but then the ideology he’s pushing is exactly that.

Well we can't say he lacks confidence in the way he's blatantly rinsing a community that's always complaining about being broke.

True, it could be perceived as love bombing, financial abuse and future faking....

I know being a martyr might feed Jolyon's ego, but if he keeps carrying on like this he might get himself disbarred. Surely, if his ego comes into conflict with his need to sustain his lifestyle, something has to give.

A KC is recommending the general public break discrimination law?

I know I keep saying it, but this ideology absolutely addles the bloody brain.

ThatCyanCat · 26/05/2025 16:52

Jolyon is a narcissist so he'll never think he's lost or in the wrong. He'll always, in his own head, be the hero. Whether he wins or loses, either will prove it for him. He'll either win because he's right or he'll lose because he's a persecuted hero championing for the persecuted underclass.

JKR should do whatever will give her satisfaction. It won't make a difference to him either way. He's not capable of seeing anything beyond his colossal ego.

“Cis allies too are going to have to start using the “wrong” toilets” (from the image)

Hang on, so is Joly saying that men-men (as opposed to the men-who-call-themselves-women type of men) should also be invading the Ladies?

That seems to be exactly what he's saying.

I don't know if he doesn't realise the takers he'll get for that idea, or if he does realise and doesn't care.

Translation: organisations belatedly complying with the clear law, misogynistic activists will try to bully you into continuing to break it.

hm, now if you’re an organisation liable to be sued by one side for breaking the law, and by the other side if you have the temerity to stop breaking it, where’s the smart money going?
