14.02.20 Live updates on Harry and Kate’s cases HERE

[MrsSnippyPants]

I shall be glued to social media this morning and thought it might be useful to have a place where we can post updates as they come in so people need to follow just one thread.
Please post Twitter handles of anyone providing live updates as you find them.
@WeAreFairCop are saying it is likely the judgement will NOT be read out so they hope to get a copy and summarise and tweet after 10.30am

Harry taking issue with the introduction...

Evan being defensive.

I guess Evan Davis likes to sit comfortably in the BBC progressive camp.

Yes there's history.

Evan Davis being very very weasel-y over his use of "anti-trans" to discredit Harry Miller.

This is just a series of gotchas from Evan Davis. This is a disgrace.

My jaw is like this at radio 4 just now!
"The listener would benefit to know that is reasonable to call them anti-trans"
Presenter commenting on Harry's tweets

I rather wish Evan would let him answer.

Eeek

Pretty fierce!

Evan keeps talking over him...

After the Langcleg debacle I’m a bit concerned that RO has now been
targeted.

Mumsnet have stated that they only delete following reports haven’t they?

Evan Davis is being appalling on this! (I can't believe I'm shocked...)

Evan Davis is calling Harry Miller weird and obsessive. I'm gobsmacked.

Harry's giving as good as he's getting

This guy Is unbelievable.
He won't let Harry speak and I'm impressed with how unflappable he is

Evan Davis is not acting like an interviewer/presenter he is completely one sided

Evan Davies behaving in a shockingly unprofessional manner. The BBC can’t keep identifying as impartial as it really isn’t.

Now DC Tiffany Lane (I think), having been interviewed earlier. Re police view.

"Is it up to the victim to self declare the hate..."

Good question.

How do we complain about Evan Davis on this? I'm honestly appalled.

After the Langcleg debacle I’m a bit concerned that RO has now been

Mumsnet have stated that they only delete following reports haven’t they?

Thats inevitable sadly.

I had a post reported (successfully) on the first day back. It was clarifying what 'the grey rock technique' was for people referring to it who seemed to be unaware.

Just reflecting on how both Glinner and Harry have been treated over this actually, similarities.

Evans opinion was that it was hate. Harry pointed out it wasn't as confirmed by law.

I hope that's not the case 9years.

I would have a completely different view of the case if I'd just heard that "interview"
Have turned radio 4 off now (and for the foreseeable)

How do we complain about Evan Davis on this? I'm honestly appalled.

Just heard the interview too. I think Harry was unflappable - despite the way he was interviewed. It might make listeners decide they will check for themselves. To be fair, Evan Davies has now asked a police officer about prioritising hate speech over investigating violent crime but he certainly did not come across as a neutral interviewer.

For some brief guidance FreezerBird try this:

After the Langcleg debacle I’m a bit concerned that RO has now been targeted.

It's blatantly obvious. R0wan didn't speculate, previous posters did but they haven't been deleted.

"The Patriarchy
Sweet ReasonSeries 1

For some, the word "patriarchy" usefully describes our social and economic system with its manifest gender imbalances in wealth and power. For others, it is trendy, pretentious nonsense. In this programme we ask whether patriarchy helps or hinders our understanding of relations between men and women in the modern world."

(You can skip forward to 24:00 for Davies' opinions about the patriarchy)

In some ways we probably didn't help with all our cheering R0 - it must have drawn attention to you, but it was so lovely to see you again! Go carefully.
