Judicial review next. Very passive aggressive letter from Scot Govt

Well done to all at For Women Scotland.

Wow, that last sentence!! I'll be donating to the crowd funder.

I think legal cases are the only way we will make headway... I've sent them a £5 to their paypal. Fund Feminist Causes Early... goes off to plan major gold heist

Bring on the JR. All the very best, FWS.

Fingers, toes, eyes, all crossed. @fatblackcatspaw Where do we get details of how to help the funds?

I will do some gardening on pay day for this.

they haven't posted a crowdfunder as yet - I presume they need to get an estimate of costs. I was involved in a judical review of a planning application that cost £27000.... but their twitter profile has link to their paypal

That last sentence is so unprofessional.

Itching to donate as soon as they have the details up.

I know it’s not the most important thing but The last sentence of that letter is phenomenally unprofessional

That’s legal speak for “bring it on, then“, I suppose.

yeah just sending it to a civil servant I know .. and asking if this would be normal in a letter

They’re acknowledging that it is possible and that it is allowed but conspicuously not „looking forward to receiving your letter“ or similar ...

The tone is very different to the gushing enthusiasm Stonewall et al are treated to in their chummy emails!

indeed... no rushing out of the lanyards in suffragette colours...

That’s legal speak for “bring it on, then“, I suppose.

No - it's just weird. I would not have included it if I were writing that letter.

Look at the disrespectful and snarky last line.

No respect showed to a woman’s organisation

I read the last line as 'you'll hae had yer tea'.

If that letter was sent to a trans advocacy organisation it would be called transphobic. (mind you the bar is so low for that virtually everything is transphobic)

No, I think it is a bit of a “point” being made, the more I think about it. They’re digging their heels in, still. Cocky.
