Fair Cop dropping hints on Twitter

[teawamutu]

About something big about to happen to a red organisation beginning with 'S' that they won't like.

V unfair to vaguetweet IMO - anyone else seen it?

Ah just seen their twitter feed - it is!

Looks like it, Ewe.

FFS. Is there nothing they don’t have their tentacles in?

”transgender activist group Mermaids“

Wow.

I don't have a clue what is going on. Can someone explain what the big deal about this is :s

' transgender activist group' - that's an interesting description.

@StandUpStraight Thank you

Not quite as earth-shaking as I’d hoped, but very disturbing

So are mermaids now allowed to rewrite legal rulings that are being taught in law classes 🤔

It's the appetizer, peeps. Cool yer jets.

That the actual law is thought to be so offensive, it has to be shone through Mermaids prism before it can be reported.

Yeah, I found the article a wee bit confusing.

A magazine for A level law students wanted to publish an article on Harry 'fair cop' Miller's law case and freedom of expression.

The article was written, extensively quoting from the court case.

The publisher then sent the article to Mermaids asking for their opinion.

The publisher then asked the author of the article to make substantial changes.

Author resigned in fury.

The big deal is the subservience shown to Mermaids over what should be straight forward law report. Mermaids were offered editorial control over how a factual case could be spun for a level students.

Yes, they’re calling it what it is. It doesn’t get much more activist than trying to obfuscate the law, as taught to law students. This is disgusting. It don’t buy for a minute that the teachers or students would find it triggering - although of course if they do they should not be teaching or studying the law - this is a political move to manipulate the narrative back on track. I also don’t believe that it is normal practice to “go to an external body for a second opinion” on an A level case summary.

Appetiser?! How long do we have to stay up?

Right, so how is this something to get excited about? Surely just shows how much power they have.
Not a good thing

So it would seem.

Because people are now being told how much power they have.

For crying out loud, wims, get some kip. Eat regular meals, wash, go to work etc. The cork will pop when it pops and you won't miss it. Promise x

Law students? I was trying to work out why A level students were having articles written for them. I assumed some sort of comprehension exercise.
Is that a thing now? Magazines for A level students?

Floral good advice

You're not my Mum!

I hope so, Floral.

I don't understand Hachette's motivation for this?

Tinsel, no, but I do run a shadowy feminist syndicate dedicated to making sure the women of FWR stay in peak condition. Eat yer greens.

I think you really have to reflect on the implications of this.

A report about a British Court ruling is being edited/diluted by Mermaids input, for the actual curriculum that will be taught to A-Level Law Students.

Whoa!

That is wrong on so many levels.
