Get the popcorn folks. GLP is getting ready to lose again.

They are going after barrister Sarah Phillimore for referring to a man as a man. They think they are going to lawfare her into silence.

Her blog:

Here we are now: Entertain us
I have had now 7 years and counting of the various tactics used to 'silence' those who won't comply with prevailing orthodoxy. How are those tactics holding up?
https://sarahphillimore.substack.com/p/here-we-are-now-entertain-us?

The only thing is other TAs have already tried this on Phillimore multiple times. They went to the Bar Council their claims were dismissed. They all failed. More to the point this ‘Kate’ is the same guy complaining again who already failed. Sarah Phillimore knows the law and likes explaining it to TAs and making them lose. So she doesn't even resent the attempt.

As Sarah has stated "They pick on someone who not only enjoys this but has now a vast repository of knowledge about the law in this area."

Sarah Phillimore

Because I don’t tweet as a public body, an employer or provider of goods or services. I am not subject to the Equality Act. I tweet as a private individual and I will say again. You can’t change sex. A man cannot be a woman. I cannot be compelled to call a man a woman.

A trans identifying man such as ‘Kate’ who frequently takes to the public stage to urge violence against women and declare his intent to enter women’s spaces, is a dangerous man and one who will attract public comment.

The tide continues to turn, bit by bit.

NotAtMyAge · 27/03/2026 14:24

That's wonderful news. So pleased for Sarah.

AccordingToWhom · 27/03/2026 14:18

Excellent news

CassOle · 17/02/2026 11:05

Yep, creeps gotta be creepy towards someone, otherwise they wouldn't be creepy in the first place.

ArabellaScott · 17/02/2026 10:58

The answer to my question is probably in the question, tbh.

CassOle · 17/02/2026 10:57

Creepy is the right word.

ArabellaScott · 17/02/2026 10:56

This is a group of four men, all sexually involved. Why can't these creepy men just entertain each other? Why the need to threaten, abuse, and terrorise women?

The photo of Sparkles with the gun backdrop has not aged well, given the recent mass murders/shootings.

Yes. What's not shown on the image above (unless you click on the link) is the threatening caption that "this one's for glinner and Helen Joyce"

Looks like a direct threat to me and hopefully has been reported to the police.

Sarah's latest post is fire. More details on how bad the case against her is:

First I was afraid, I was petrified...
And now I am livid. Gender identity ideology corrupts everything it touches.

I am happily now numbed to fear given the repetitive and ridiculous nature of the complaints against me. But I am somewhat relieved to learn I can still feel; what I feel now is rising anger and contempt.

I set out below my publications which the Good Law Project deemed so serious and inflammatory that I have brought my profession into disrepute. I assume the complaint invites serious consequences such as suspension or disbarment.

My view is that it is grotesque and risible to suggest that any of those publications can reasonably be seen as anything other than legitimate, proportionate and protected political speech. I do not ‘tag’ Mr Weddell. I do not threaten him with violence. I do not use profane or disgusting language. I do not encourage anyone else to do any of that. He chooses to read whatever I post.

Of the 54 impugned publications, six are deemed ‘harassment’ i.e. 11%. No definition is given of what ‘harassment’ means here. I reject any suggestion that these 6 publications can be deemed ‘harassment’ on any definition. For example, to suggest that Euan Weddell resembles Eddie Izzard is not ‘harassment’ unless I stood outside his home screaming it at 4am. The other examples are as bafflingly trivial. If I wasn’t so angry I am sure I would find this darkly amusing. This is after all the same Good Law Project busily dishonestly misrepresenting a High Court judgment to milk its gullible followers for yet more money in yet another doomed appeal.

Maugham's Peculiar Outfit is a great name for a band.

It sounds like a missing Kinks album.

On leases, if they're not specifying purpose, worth remembering that it's tax-efficient to lease one's high-end vehicles.

They’re described as ‘non cancellable operating leases’ so I guess that could cover a multitude of things then.

HildegardP · 16/02/2026 21:32

SabrinaThwaite · 16/02/2026 14:03

I looked at that too - lease liabilities of £395k in 2024 and £245k in 2025, so I wondered if lease costs were around £150k per year with about 20 months of lease left to run.

His attempt to raise funds based on a dishonest interpretation of the high court judgement is certainly reminiscent of the kind of dodgy tax avoidance vehicles that Dan Neidle tries to expose.

The GLP provided assistance to Dan Niedle over some recent libel threats. It's an unfortunate association & a perplexing one, DN can afford to use a normal law firm/ Chambers but he went with Maugham's peculiar outfit.

I'm sure this is it, annual rent about £140k. There was definitely a bit on a trade website about the lease being agreed but it's disappeared now
No sure why they're being so coy about it, no-one is getting masked up to protest outside during school holidays from our side.

The GLP’s registered address is the Sevenoaks one in the footer of that letter.

The Great Portland St address hosts hundreds of companies, lots of meeting rooms for hire, serviced office space, answering services etc.

Perhaps they all work form home and only use that address for meetings and they pay them to forward post - but didn't somebody say the rent was £300,000 a year?

ETA - I see this has already been discussed.

But then I was just wondering what Sex Matters do about this and a according to the Charities Commission their address is:

5th Floor
167-169 Great Portland St
London
W1W 5PF

I can only conclude that this is a virtual business address that is rarely used by the companies who use it as their address, otherwise the lifts must be interesting.

If, purely hypothetically, I had donated to a legal crowdfunder to support a cause close to my gender-identified heart. And later found that the money had mainly been diverted via some byzantine tax-efficient procedures, into a retired tax-lawyer's back bin... and had produced less forward progress than an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping (C) Captain Blackadder

Well I'd be quite curious and then furious about that.

Yeah but then your brain hasn’t been stewed in an artificial cocktail of synthetic hormones thought to induce dementia at high dose….

£50k for comms manager?! Thats a lot for sending out a few begging emails and making the odd ranty fox-basher tiktok reel.

Perhaps they feel they have to offer that for someone of the necessary calibre, one who can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear or spin gold from straw.

It's giving "over enthusiastic youtube content creator takes on many staff based on lucky first year of google adsense revenue"

Or is it "after receiving huge over funding for initial kickstarter campaign, spends all the money on expanding a new business unrelated to fulfilling original kickstarter pledges"

"we've raised lots of money for our countercultural arts exhibition"

"hey, let's set up a cat cafe in shoreditch"
