GLP are going after Sarah Philmore and are going to lose

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.

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".

That’s a, quite frankly, marvellous summary of the current state of things.

deadpan · 29/08/2025 21:58

And here he is, proving my point for me. Chatting to women and taking pictures, being superficially "female" in the ladies is all he understands because he has no empathy or a shred of understanding for or about womanhood, especially when one has to rinse her knickers in the sink because she's flooded herself

I've just been trying to explain this to my husband, who is a courteous bloke so doesn't understand why they want to use women's facilities now they've been told they legally can't (and never should have either).

But I thought they just wanted to pee. Seems not.

A very interesting insight into GLPs money and legal antics, in case people have missed it...

Utterly gobsmacked that Maugham has chosen to team up with Molly. Its certainly bold!

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.

Blimey, it certainly looks like Jolly Old has crossed the line from fucking irritating to libellous. I hope Sarah gets a good few quid out of the moon howler.

JKR joined the chat 😁 The money is there...

He doesn't seem to have much else. And as SP says in her substack, GLP have raised all that money from the transes and now have to find a way to spend it, because there aren't any realistic "big wins" to be had.

ItsCoolForCats · 28/08/2025 14:00

And how can he be a journalist when he can barely string two coherent sentences together?

This is a very good question. I tried to watch the YouTube channel he runs with the aforementioned polycule member and I couldn’t manage more than a couple of minutes. There was maybe a point going to be made but I couldn’t face 15 minutes of waffle and inane giggling. I know TRAs are generally not the brightest but this was something else.

Things wot I have learnt already this evening:

What the teeth of crabeater seals look like. Extraordinary. Thank you,@lcakethereforeIam

That Jolyon Maugham really does need to calm down. @DrudgeJedd - he's missing half the rules of English grammar, as well as the "allegedly"s in those tweets. Although he might not have meant the reading of his claimant as "a trans woman so wicked". 🙂

That JKR is brilliant. A proxy war with the GLP via Mr Seal - @DrudgeJedd is right, there's not enough popcorn in the world.

I already knew "benthic" [preens].

Mollyollydolly · 29/08/2025 20:18

We could even enjoy the prospect of his polycule partners photo, dilating in a disabled toilet at the airport. There truly isn't enough popcorn.
And if Jolyon had even a single thought for this person's mental health they wouldn't be encouraging this they'd be helping them get mental health support. This can only end badly.

PronounssheRa · 29/08/2025 19:22

If i wanted to be seen as reputable, speaking truth to power blah blah blah. I would not have picked Sophie Molly as the transwomen to risk my organisations reputation on.

Maugham has lost all sense of reason and it's been bizarre to watch. From his contributing to the labour all womens shortlist JR from way back when to this.

SP’s response letter:

Outstanding.

Mollyollydolly · 29/08/2025 19:48

How anyone could look at Soph's X feed and think they were a suitable candidate for this is beyond my comprehension. I mean I worry about his mental health because he's obviously not well.
I think Jolyon must have a humiliation fetish.
I mean I've watched video of him shouting through a megaphone 'shit on JK Rowlings head.'
It's insane.

"Allegedly"s don't get you off the libel hook.

What on earth is he doing. This will be fun.

moto748e · 29/08/2025 19:23

It's got to the point with Jolyon where I'd be happy to see someone, Sarah or anyone, take him to the cleaners. What a nasty little man. He certainly seems stupid enough to provide people with opportunities.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 29/08/2025 19:22

Looks as if both Soph and Jollyon are a perfect match. Both apparently determined to undermine women's rights to boundaries from men and uncaring about safeguarding children.
What a pair.

DrudgeJedd · 29/08/2025 19:14

I really hope she takes this further and he has to publicly retract & pay up. It's a shame he's already sold the windmill but I hear his wine cellar is worth a few bob
