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?

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."

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.

JM named SP and her profession and made a very specific claim about her and knows that she has funding for a legal case.

No idea on the ins and outs of GLP funding, but it’s almost as though he is trying to create a court case.

Or is that too much of a conspiracy theory?

I suspect Jolyon has fantasies about being in court cross examining JKR 🤢

At the very least it seems as though this will be an interesting teaching aid to demonstrate the difference between speech protected by article 10 rights and defamation.

Sarah is never going to break. We know GLP will lose because they do it all the time. They just lie about losing, and pretend it never happened.

Good morning! Your daily reminder from a rich and powerful person.

You cannot change sex.
Transwomen are men.
Women have a right to single sex female spaces.
Medical transition of children is abuse.
A surgical cavity lined with the skin of your inverted penis or colon is a wound that requires constant dilation to keep from closing.
I am not afraid to exercise my article 10 rights but I am very afraid of what will happen if we allow threats and manipulation to stop us.
If you find what I say distressing or offensive, accept this is your problem to deal with by way of professional intervention/support or by ignoring me.

Then. Get. On. With. It.

People marvel that I have no fear and no compassion. This is why. Because I have had 100s of these ineffectual and increasingly risible threats over the years.

If you think my behaviour merits prosecution, then set one in motion. You do not however, because you know you would fail. You instead make continually malicious complaints to my regulator in the vain hope that the mere existence of a complaint will damage my professional reputation or mental health.

I am getting bored now. Send me a worthy opponent or fuck off.

You can however be prosecuted for harassment.

The whole thing gets ever more crazy. I think this could be GLP's biggest own goal yet.

GLP's accounts continuing to be interesting. It is so obviously a scam.

Girls To The Front
https://x.com/obsolete_units/status/1961361321095827640

These accounts show that for the year ended January 2025, Good Law Practice spent £1.7 million on salaries (£594k related to litigation work, and £1.1M related to campaigning and fundraising). With absolutely nothing to show for any of it. This org exists to serve itself.

With an income of £4.4M that financial year, only £692k of that (16%) was spent on legal advice and litigation costs. The rest seems to go on GLP’s operational costs. Seems kind of lopsided?

The only positive is that GLP are running Trans activism in the UK into the ground and wasting their money. They could be targeting other women who are less able to handle the stress.

Going to be interesting if the press get hold of this too.

Joint enterprise?🦧
He his claimant adds to the fundraiser terms?

Would any officers insurance cover provider be forced to cover it?
If he claims it is the course of business?

Presumably Maugham wouldn’t be able to use GLP funds to fight an action against himself for defamation?

Good question.

Ah Sophie- the fragrant lady who very helpfully decided to help us other ladiesz by testing some washing pegs for us. She kindly tested durability and clip strength by clipping them to her own nipples and posted the pictures for us. I certainly feel happy that those pegs would be useful keeping a duvet on my washing line during a slight storm and fine rain. I'm grateful for her product testing and will be sure to take her recommendations on other household products.

I'm just imagining the Mail Online article. You know the ones that last forever and are almost entirely made up of twitter grabs and images. A one man peaking machine.

Owen! Owen! Pls someone let him know he is needed to swoop in and help out. This is right up his street.

That was them leafleting Kincorth.

Surely it's something the Guardian will relish sharing. Photoshoot with the polycule, perhaps?

Basically they're the kind of men who don't respect boundaries, when it's them who are being told what the boundaries are, and have no respect for the sex to which they aspire.
They say they feel like they're women, because they don't have any typical male traits, while showing us they have the worst of male traits.
There also the possibility that they're egging us on to report them, so they can cry "I'm a victim, look at the nasty women".

I was being tongue in cheek 😜, but I did like your explanation so thank you for it! 🥰

Match made in heaven.

Molly is a peaking machine, combined with Maugham they can't go wrong the second this gets more than twitter publicity.

Do they need help with publicity? Can we pull any favours in?
