Oh thanks OP, I had Glinner in my head but not the others.

Will keep the thread on watch.

Could be - or a day of weeping, wailing, gnashing of teeth and a call for stoicism.

I'm already committed to overlapping meetings tomorrow or I'd want a big panel of screens to follow along with all of this. As it is, I'll be taking sneak peeks at this thread.

Iamhangingin · 08/03/2021 18:04

Thank you! Will be watching updates with interest x

TheRabbitOfCaerbannog · 08/03/2021 18:20

Thanks OP

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 08/03/2021 18:23

Grief I sounded like a killjoy - I'm managing my expectations because so much has been unaccountable lately.

I hope March 9 becomes a day that is celebrated in years to come.

Xanthangum · 08/03/2021 18:47

No I get it @EmbarrassingAdmissions, and you're right. It may not all go the way we all hope.

But - sunlight. In every case, here are the voices of ordinary people saying - an unexpected orthodoxy has arrived, sat in the nest as the other birds were too polite to question it, and it now rules over all of us. If you think that's fine, then that is the view of the Judiciary and the Legislative.

But from here on in it will be conscious, not Stonewall stealth. The HoL discussion showed that.

Place marking! Busy day work wise tomorrow so I'll have to keep checking in.

If you could all summarise every 50 posts or so.. Grin

PurpleWh1teGreen · 08/03/2021 19:02

Good luck to all three cases btw.

Xanthangum · 08/03/2021 19:04

The Commons Committee isn't really a case as such, but still important. I'll do my best to update everything I glean here throughout the day, school runs permitting.

FYI it's a House of Lords Committee, I initially assumed Commons also!

Placemarking because this stuff matters to me enormously.

ArabellaScott · 08/03/2021 19:18

And Wednesday Scottish govt debates stage 3 of the hate crime bill.

Redshoeblueshoe · 08/03/2021 19:20

I'll see you all here tomorrow Wine

McDuffy · 08/03/2021 20:09

I have badly-timed busy work day, too. So inconvenient Grin

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 08/03/2021 20:19

Tuesday and Wednesday are solidly back-to-back with overlapping events but I'll be F5ing this thread like a lab expt. desperately craving her next update and fix of news from the front.

turnedthewatersintoblood · 08/03/2021 22:52

So much happening! Do you remember when one thing would happen in a whole month!?

Sickoffamilydrama · 08/03/2021 23:23

Oh I might have to turn my camera off on teams to check this thread save on bandwidth.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/03/2021 00:47

Quiet day tomorrow so will be following here and on Twitter

spongedog · 09/03/2021 01:15

thanks for update. I do try but it is very hard to keep on top of all of this. I am now starting to reference this in any feedback I give that it cannot be legally or morally sound for women to have to keep stating the same truth repeatedly. It is really vexatious.
