For Women Scotland's song works in victory or defeat. This isn't over yet.

"For Women’s Rights (to the tune of Auld Lang Syne)

We stand together side by side, we will defend our rights
We stand together side by side, we’ll not give up this fight

For women’s rights are human rights, we won’t let you forget
For women’s rights are human rights, this isn’t over yet.

Politicians and their friends may think we can be cowed
Our minds and bodies we’ll defend, our NO will ring out loud.

For women’s rights are human rights, we won’t let you forget
For women’s rights are human rights, this isn’t over yet.

So gie’s a hand in sisterhood, our sex won’t be denied
For dignity, reality, we are standing side by side

For women’s rights are human rights, we won’t let you forget
For women’s rights are human rights, this isn’t over yet."

AFAIK there has been no successful case brought under Section 111 that it's a breach of EA2010 to incite another party to breach EA2010 so perhaps it's unsurprising that Allison may need to go to the Supreme Court to get justice.

It's so important that Stonewall are nailed for the societal chaos for which they are responsible.

I feel sad and angry but not surprised. And angry in a positive, fewer shits to give every day, less inclined to stay quiet way.

I'm up for the crowdfunder if she takes this to the Supreme Court. I'm not going to understand the legal reasoning (until people here explain it in words of one syllable) but I know what a woman is and I know what a bully is and I know what decency looks like.

CriticalCondition · 18/12/2025 10:49

So disappointing, poor Allison. But I'm sure she won't stop there if there are grounds for appeal. If it has to go to the Supreme Court, she'll do it.

ItsCoolForCats · 18/12/2025 10:48

I thought this would be a hard won to win. What concerns me is Allison's comments about the judgement. Will be interesting to find out more.

0h how sad. It will be interesting to see the bits she finds concerning. I hope it's not another Kempish effort but sounds like it might be. Is the judiciary all captured?

I hope it is another Kempish effort. Bring in the sunlight!

I suspect it will be appealed to the Supreme Court.

I'm out today so can't read the judgment till I get home.

Solidarity!

Permission to appeal is far from a given.

Bollocks!

"Surprising and very concerning" being presumably wording agreed with Ben, I guess we're off to the Supreme Court again? Will be very interesting to read the judgement. Could do with a different kind of interesting, though. And yes, what everyone else says - what an ordeal for Allison, and how brave she is.

BettyBooper · 18/12/2025 10:44

'Surprising and very concerning '.

I'm no longer surprised by any of this, but it is indeed very concerning.

Poor Allison!

RhymesWithOrange · 18/12/2025 10:43

I'm so sorry Allison. Sending big love.

I’m just hoping she and her team are too hungover from celebrating to press the button

Edited as cross posted with announcement.

Can we hold hands and sing for a while?

This must be very stressful for Allison. I can certainly imagine her feeling discouraged by this.

But if you are reading Allison, thank you for all your work.

I am sorry to announce that I have lost my appeal against Stonewall in the Court of Appeal. Judgment was handed down this morning (18 December 2025). A link to the judgment will be posted shortly. Certain aspects of the judgment and its reasoning are surprising and very concerning. I will need to review it in detail with my legal team before saying more. I intend to share an update, including next steps, after the Christmas break. In the meantime, please don’t lose heart. I certainly haven’t. I remain profoundly grateful for the support, kindness, and encouragement so many of you have shown me over the past six years in my pursuit of justice.

I wonder how many of us hitting refresh on the website at the same time would take it down?

My inbox pinged at exactly 10:30 and I thought it would be an update but it was Christmas junk mail.

There are now two 18th Dec judgments published on here https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ but neither of them Allison's.
