This case seems to have slipped under the radar somewhat, as it isn't a GC beliefs case, but there are parallels. There will be 13 witnesses from the Tavistock. It may well expose the way 'critical theory' in general has captured the NHS and how those who refuse to bow down are bullied, ostracised, and forced out of their jobs.

The claimant states:

"From the disclosure, we found that senior staff at the Tavistock were calling me names in their correspondence with each other. This included calling me a “fascist” and a “racist.” They also referred to me as a “poisonous creature” and a “snake.”
Alongside this, Senior staff openly stated that my beliefs were not likely to be compatible with ethical practice. It was shocking to see, laid bare, the way in which a whole group of NHS professionals could abuse their positions of power to openly bully a trainee. I believe they thought it unlikely that I would be able to defend myself."

"My trial is listed at the Royal Courts of Justice from 2–27 November, with almost the entire month set aside for the Court to hear the evidence and determine my claims.
The Tavistock NHS are calling 13 witnesses. I will be the only witness on my side. I will likely be cross-examined for 3 days.

For those who have followed my case from the beginning, you will know what is at stake for me. My case concerns my allegations that I suffered anti-white racial harassment and discrimination. I am further claiming that I was discriminated against for expressing a colour-blind approach to race. This was expressed in opposition to Critical Race Theory. This is the first lawsuit to bring these claims against the NHS to trial in this way.

I have pursued this case because I believe that equality must mean equality for everyone.

Getting to this point has taken years of determination. Litigation of this scale is demanding and extremely expensive, and the forthcoming trial will involve a substantial amount of preparation and legal work. I have already written and submitted a very lengthy witness statement which took many weeks to write."

I don't know if there will be remote access or if anyone will be covering it on X. I'll add to the thread if I find out.

Some further detail on the anti-white racial harassment and discrimination that Amy suffered.

Lecturers at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust told her 'whites don't understand the world' and 'Christianity is responsible for racism because it's European' in a series of 'politically biased' talks.

One of the Tavistock's seminars was even called 'Whiteness — a problem for our time' and included a description on the Trust's website that 'the problem of racism is a problem of whiteness'.

When Amy challenged these controversial views she was 'bullied' by staff and suspended from the course, pending an investigation into whether she is safe to work with patients.

Almost a year later, no investigation has taken place.

It means her dream of becoming a psychotherapist is hanging by a thread.
As if that wasn't enough, a course lecturer also tried to get her banned from her day job as a practising mental health nurse.

With the standard caveat of not all Christians etc., I don't think it's wrong to discuss Christian white supremacy, which is currently destroying the US among other things. And in my experience when people discuss whiteness, they mean the arbitrary and artificial concept of whiteness and not so much people who are white.

That looks like overt anti-white racial harassment and discrimination right there.

We are in the UK not the US which has a very different experience of racial politics. The ancestors of the vast majority of coloured people in the US were slaves a few generations back. The ancestors of many white people in the US were slave owners a few generations back.

ImNotAsCooperativeAsYouMightWantAWomanToBe · 22/10/2026 11:41

Yes it's just another example of critical theory from the USA infecting our systems.

Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea about the background. I'm so glad I have a boring technical job with zero room for feelings.

"Many have now woken up to how evil and dangerous ‘anti-racism’ truly is. The recent inquiry into the 2023 Nottingham attacks, leading to the murder of two students and a caretaker, has revealed that the killer was not sectioned under the mental health act because of his skin colour. Concerns about the over-representation of young black men in psychiatric detention were put before concerns about the risk he posed to others. Furthermore, the inquiry found that, several months prior to the 2023 killings, psychiatric staff reportedly avoided enforcing restrictive practices such as forced injections, partly because of the patient’s race. Alongside this, the horrific video footage of the police’s treatment of Henry Nowak as he died after being stabbed by a young Sikh man who falsely accused Novak of racism led to international outrage. Many argued that Novak was not believed nor given assistance because he was white and his murderer was not. This led to renewed criticism of the police’s ‘anti-racist’ initiatives. The Police Race Action Plan states that in order to produce racial equality in policing outcomes certain racial groups should be treated differently from others. The guidance expressly rejects “treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour-blind'”."

I Was Forced Out of an NHS Training Course for My Belief in Colour-Blind Meritocracy. It's Time for the Courts to Intervene – The Daily Sceptic

Nurse Amy Gallagher was forced out of an NHS training course for refusing to relinquish her belief in colour-blind meritocracy. It's time, she says, for the courts to intervene and end this woke campaign of victimisation.

Colour Blind and Meritocracy is enough to have the Omnicause baying for your blood, it should be an interesting tribunal.

The Trust is rolling out 13 witnesses against her, I already think 'they protest too much'.

It's time the other heads of the hydra got challenged, CRT is nothing but race-baiting, divisive and violent stupidity, despite the fact that we don't have the same history in this country as the USA, it's still managed to produce a fair bit of crap.
The Welsh Government gave that bunch of grifters, The Arts Council, £10,000 to decolonise Welsh Cakes ffs, and Plaid Cyrmu have sworn on the lives of the first born they're going to make Wales an anti-racist Sanctuary Nation by 2030.

Having been around for a fair few decades, I always assumed the liberal Enlightenment was robust enough to take on all comers. I was wrong, it has a soft underbelly, and the motivated poisoners of the well have made way too many inroads.
This organisation feels it's proportionate to provide 13 witnesses against a single angle plaintiff, a mental health nurse.
Bullying her while feeling virtuous about it.

Mmmnotsure · 22/10/2026 15:19

Thirteen witnesses for her barrister to deal with. They are making sure it will really cost her.

MarcTheGenderSkeptic · 22/10/2026 19:23

Is this the Amy Gallagher whom I've seen on multiple podcasts including Triggernometry, and was associated with the SDP?
If it is, she came across extremely well. Hoping that holds her in good stead in what I'm sure will be a taxing experience.
Thirteen witnesses? They're treating her as if she's a major criminal.
Preposterous.

This has started today (after two reading days).

TT have been given permission to tweet from the court but there will be no remote access so it is going to be difficult for them to cover what is planned to be a 3 week hearing in London. They will update when they know more.

It is their second account that is currently tweeting:

Core of claim
FH It is in my submission clear that it is a belief, that C holds the belief that "all white people are racist" is itself racist. The belief that she does not share is in respect to her beliefs. She does not share the belief in some of the key statements of what might be called critical race theory.

Evidence from discovery
FH Incendiary comments made by some members of staff re C. Email 29 July from [name] to Dr Yately [?] suggesting there were discussions at Maudesley about removal of C from course and re employment matters.
FH Other matter re reports to regulator and language among professionals in reference to C, subject to regulation; such as 'snake', 'resident racist', 'frothing' 'facist', 'wolf in sheep's clothing' suggest behaviour that professional regulatory attention may be appropriate.
They were aware that in dx procedure this was referred to by C but consideration not referred to in any way by panel. Panel included biased panellist who had prejudged this case, calling her a facist and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Christian white supremacy" - really? Christ came to the sinners, the people who were outcasts in his time. There is nothing in the teachings of Christ that justifies white supremacy. "love thy neighbour as thyself" and the parable of the Good Samaritan speak against that type of behaviour.

Various churches may have quite a lot to answer for but that is not the Christian faith.

If you think there is a "concept of whiteness" then you are as bad as any racist bigot since you are treating people differently because of their skin colour. You are legitimising racism because you are saying discriminating on the basis of skin colour is valid.
