Oh wow, BBC. Not even trying to pretend they're impartial now.

This is some background on the presiding Judge. Times article is paywalled so I can't read most of it.

Oh that Judge! Beautiful reading, big thanks to all involved and the phenomenal tweeting.

Melioration · 21/11/2019 15:25

Are there any thread reader app links for the live tweets as I am struggling to follow all the tweets?

I was looking for one on twitter but you have to trawl through the whole thread so it would be just easier to read the tweets.

OvaHere · 21/11/2019 15:26

It looks as though the judge meant that if the complainant was calling women terfs, and having a go at them, unfortunately, being a woman isnt a protected characteristic. In terms of hate incidents, that is.

What the judge won't realise (due in part to having better things to do than being on twitter all day Grin) is that TERF is disproportionately aimed at lesbian women which is a protected characteristic.

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 21/11/2019 15:26

I really feel like running up and down my office with my shirt over my head

It feels like the judge totally got it

didn't it? Didn't it?

YourOpinionIsNoted · 21/11/2019 15:27

Well! That was quite a ride.

I think we should get the judge's comments about the term 'TERF' printed onto t shirts.

Melioration · 21/11/2019 15:27

(I am also in love with the judge Grin)

Ta, CaveMum

Kit19 · 21/11/2019 15:29

can we set up a fan site for the judge ? I mean WOW

my head is still spinning at how bad the police counsel was and how pretty much everything they said fell apart under questioning. I mean it wasnt even difficult to expose the ridiculousness

His Lordship.

From a working class family, and council estate in Manchester.

FloralBunting · 21/11/2019 15:29

Glad to be alive on a day when a bunch of feminists are fangirling wildly over a marvellously sardonic and sensible judge.

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 21/11/2019 15:30

I am also in love with the judge

HAVE YOU PEOPLE SEEN THE JUDGE?

I'm beginning to suspect you're all pansexual

BovaryX · 21/11/2019 15:30

Here’s the share token for Telegraph article

OvaHere · 21/11/2019 15:31

I note from the links I posted above that the judge has a solid working class background and comp education prior to higher ed. As we've discussed in other threads such as the Deptford one there is an element of class wars at play in gender ideology.

PurpleHoodie · 21/11/2019 15:31

Oh definitely Ova

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 21/11/2019 15:33

I really feel like I got my money's worth on that one

I really, really hope Harry gets awarded costs

this case was 100% in the public interest

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 21/11/2019 15:34

Can I love him in a sisterly kind of way? Council estate in Manchester to judge, that's impressive.

It's still behind a paywall for me, even using that latest link.

Indeed. I would love so much for the judge to read this thread.

PurpleHoodie · 21/11/2019 15:35

I now have REDACTED going round mind like a stubborn earworm.

Cookieflavoredbiscuit · 21/11/2019 15:35

please please please let Harry get awarded costs...

BovaryX · 21/11/2019 15:36

Really Only? How annoying! Sorry, I thought I had cracked it
