Its live today on the scottish tribunals website and lasting for three days. Easy to join and good audio quality. I think that's marion on screen in the background. She seemed rather amused at the judge trying to understand the definitions.

I want to know which Shakespeare quote he used now!

'Tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury'

This I think, from Arabella upthread

It's Macbeth, his feelings after he hears of his wife's death.

I feel AO'N really had in mind the subsequent lines: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.

Judge not happy with quotations. Stick to the law, she says.

Indeed.

Very confident to say that he doesn't think the SC judgement is relevant...

I gather I have missed the halcyon days of reacting with a laugh emoji.
Which is a shame 😂

'Its magisterial and a relay race' 'what are the ministers to do, they act unlawfully whatever they do- if they contravene FWs or if they act incompatibly with rights of tg people' 'they accept sc without reservation but .. the practical realities'

It only works if you invoke imaginary scenarios. So dont look at reality.
