Sandie Peggie: Employment Tribunal, associated legal claims, and related matters - thread #68

.

Just came to share that badge -

Women Won't Wheesht have played a blinder.

Indeed.

Will there be an official response? 🤔

Brilliant. Let's see their response.

Oh that’s excellent!

Wonder if people can contact the RCN and express an interest prior to it (presumably!) being stocked? To demonstrate a demand, as it were. I'd pre-buy for sure.

Cue the TRAs at RCN HQ having a hissy fit.

BTW - have any London people seen whether they are still flying the Progress flag? If they are reporting them to the LA for not having planning permission would be a good move too.

I wish I had a copy of that paper!

The proposed Rcn badge is a thing of beauty.
Love it

Just love the proposed RCN badge - wonder if we will see a response?

Badge is brilliant too 💪

Sorry, I know this is a derail, but it's a different kind of derail

It surprises me when Anglicans who dislike the ordination of women decide to become Roman Catholics instead - there have been some very high profile ones, including the late Anne Widdicombe RIP.

It's like the only difference between the CofE and the RC church was the ordination of women/'progressiveness'. What about papal infallibility? the virgin birth? transubstantiation not consubstantiation? the Immaculate Conception? [not the same as the virgin birth]? and indeed clerical celibacy.

Are we to believe that when they approached the RC church asking if they could join because they didn't want women priests, the RC church said 'well OK but you have to sign up to all our Terms and Conditions, not just the 'thou shalt not ordain women' one' but the Anglicans looked at the list of Ts&Cs and said
'Yeah yeah fine whatever where do I sign?'.

I don't get it. Why don't they apply for a transfer on the basis of any of the other significant differences?

We have a history of doing 'synchronised donating' as a gesture of support for SP, and of gratitude to NC and the legal team during the first tribunal.

We donated to Sex Matters for NC&co.

For Sandie, we donated to the Scottish Society for Rheumatology - the family requested donations to it when her father died. The SSR must have been surprised to receive this big uptick in donations all at once, so we let them know that they were in memory of Mr Peggie and in support of Sandie and the family.

A 'synchronised badge-pre-ordering' would be great, and we can let Sandie know it's a gesture of support for her.

Apologies for causing confusion re @NoWordForFluffy's birthday.
I grumble to myself when people don't read posts properly and now I've done it 🙄
Fluffy- just think of it as someone being early with the birthday card!
☺️

@MarieDeGournay : I think in the CofE, they enter the RC through the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. This is a piece by the married priest who was in Westerham, Kent. He is writing about his attendance at a ceremony, with 3 former CofE bishops in Westminster Cathedral to enter the RC Church, and is waxing lyrical about it all.

They get to bring some aspects of their Anglican background with them, I think liturgical traditions. However, I think they have to accept the dogma and Canon law bits. Somebody more up on this may be along soon.

That letter from ‘women won’t wheest’ is pitch perfect. If the RCN does reply, I would be surprised if it was anything other than ‘we’ll consider it’. And, that consideration will last a very, very, very, very ad nauseam long time.

They have truly had the curtains pulled across on their organisation. Naomi Cunningham poked at quite a lot of interesting things with her questioning.

You killed the mother by freezing her? Cruel!

Maybe bananas are a retriever-type snack. I barely get any once the hound has has what he wants. I'm way too soft on the poor boy!

I'm all for it. Who would we address our requests to? Do Women Won't Wheesht need a heads up beforehand?

Absolutely brilliant badge!

Just to add more confusion...it's FluffyDog's birthday tomorrow (and Vladimir Putin's, but there is absolutely no link between them! 🤣).

Dunno, Vlad (or Vova) just might like bananas. So, just to clarify, FluffyDog is no relation to Konni, the female black lab who was presented to Putin in 2000.

Just to add a very happy birthday to FluffyDog, and may he get as many bananas as he wants in his life. Subject to good health.

I shall plump for no on that one. 😁 Konni was very cute though (and it's not like she had any choice over her owner!).

That badge is beautiful and the letter is a masterclass, look forward the the response.

I’ll be watching the RCN website with bated breath 😆

I have been trying to find the Mumsnet TT entry about someone changing SP’s letter wording recounting events from ‘He to She’. It’s been bugging me that the impact to the receiver would be different as in ‘He said She said’ to ‘She said She said’ .The original would have been quite clear who said/did what as SP was quite clear that she thought DU was a man. Surely what should have changed was ‘He’ to ‘DU’ if necessary out of respect but DU for clarity or do I recall mention of a typo. Does anyone remember if a misconstrue of events due to this change was possible by the receiver of the letter?
