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

[NeurotrashWarrior]

Yes Spartacus!

[R0wantrees]

thanks for sharing SpartacusLangClegicus

I think the postscript in Filia article deserves a special mention here:

Postscript

"In sentencing, the District Judge commented to Kate that “We teach our children to be kind.” Kindness is not legally mandated - even by s.127 Communications Act 2003. It is permissible to be forthright and even unkind, as long as there is no intention to target another person.

The Equal Treatment Bench Book warns judges that “Using acceptable terminology avoids offending parties and witnesses and gives them confidence they will receive a fair hearing. For example: Adult women should not be referred to as ‘girls’.” Nor, I would suggest, should they be condescendingly be told to be “kind,” a heavily gendered term. It is only likely to irritate us."

[ScrimshawTheSecond]

It'd be interesting to look at the gendering of the word 'kind'.

Just complained about bias from davis

I started reading that half-digested gibberish SpartacusLangClegicus, gave up, and then saw your post. Doh! Of course it is.

[74NewStreet]

I’d Imagine most people respond to you as though they’re conversing with a 5 year old, Dad

[FTFOTFVille]

Dad sounds angry and incoherent. Been on the like me I guess only I don't get angry.

Thank you Harry, for what you have done. Thank You.

I will dig again if needed

[SonicVersusGynaephobia]

Oh hi Dad, I remember you. Missed your weird posts.

Didn't you threaten to stop allegedly donating to women's refuges because women here wouldn't do what they were told?

[Barracker]

That reminds me, I must look out my Finding Nemo DVD ...

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

That dad list starts out relatively reasonably (as in the simmering machismo) is more or less in check, but he can't keep a lid on it very long at all and then the mansplaining, condescending nastiness spews out.

Nice attempt to divide and conquer but you really just look somewhat unhinged.

[LizzieSiddal]

I am Harry.

[FTFOTFVille]

I wish I was like Harry. He has some balls, so to speak

[FloralBunting]

Always a weird irony vortex when a man comes along to tell women they should only be spending their money on feminist causes he deems appropriate.

I think I'll be treating that kind of masculine contribution with the contempt it deserves and encourage all women here to do the same.

[FleetsumNJetsum]

I am Harry

[Joisanofthedales]

Gosh dads back. I await with breathless interest the latest exploits of the most perfect offspring on the planet.

[RedToothBrush]

I'm not Harry.

Or am I?

Not even sure anymore.

Maybe I can self identify if I find out I'm not.

Seriously though. Hate crime isn't pointing out that sex isn't observed its material reality. So all the bollocks above is irrelevant. Sex is a protected characteristic under the equality act, yet not under hate crime law. That tells you all you need to know about how this hate crime stuff along biological lines affects women.

[LynnSchmob]

I am Harry

[GCAcademic]

I am Harry and so's my wife.

[PronounssheRa]

I suspect Harry is pissed by now (I would be)

ARE YOU GOING TO RETURN THE 50/100% OR EVEN GIVE IT TO WOMENS AID OR SIMILAR?

We are faircop have been very clear on what they plan to do with any money left over. I plan to add to the dig. Onwards and upwards.
