“It cannot be supposed that the GLP now has carte blanche to bring any claim for judicial review no matter what the issues and no matter what the circumstances.

In other words, the Good Law Project is now the No Legal Standing Project. What a shame.

The farmers have recently dropped heavy hints.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/02/2022 11:45

Is there a JM thread on there?

TheAbbotOfUnreason · 17/02/2022 11:52

It’s very recent in the Harrop one (worth keeping up with for all sorts of reasons).

There are some very interesting recent updates 😀
TheAbbotOfUnreason · 17/02/2022 12:08

Oh yes indeed!

Just returned from a farm hole. As I suspected when I realised he was 50 and not well into his sixties as I had assumed from photos. Why do these men insist on inflicting their mid life crisis’ on everyone else, especially women?

donquixotedelamancha · 17/02/2022 13:42

I'm still waiting for someone to say out loud why JM is so obsessed with this issue. There have been so many hints and all these outlets must know, but nothing said outright.

I think we all bloody know but saying it on here would get you deleted and too much speculation will pull this thread.

"I think we all bloody know but saying it on here would get you deleted and too much speculation will pull this thread."

It can't be the obvious because if he was trans he would literally never shut up about it

nauticant · 17/02/2022 13:48

It most likely involves someone's child. Which is why speculation would be unhelpful.

@nauticant

And unfair, of course. For the record, I would never want a child subject to public attention, particularly one navigating tough issues

But JM is raking in thousands for a cause in which he clearly has a massive personal stake which has a bearing on his judgement, and I think that should be acknowledged somehow.

lifeturnsonadime · 17/02/2022 14:27

I thought that he had disclosed his 'interest' in trans rights.

Hasn't he spoken about it on twitter? Not from the point of view of it making him biased but talking about the 'unfairness' from his point of view?

It's odd that on that thread he warns against "listening to a significant woman in your life" if he actually thinks TWAW

Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/02/2022 14:35

Isn't it.

I'm blocked, what does the tweet say?
Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/02/2022 14:37

Thank you TheAbbotOfUnreason and PronounssheRa!

spacehardware · 17/02/2022 14:42

I'm blocked too but I logged out!

Oh my that's literally dripping with misogyny.

I hadn't thought of logging out to read it! D'oh.

Especially as he was all over wanting to 'slide into Shon Faye's DMs'—if that wasn't actively 'listening to a significant' etc. than I don't know what is.

I'm not sure his interest is in Shon's opinions.

Shon's one of the exciting new MK2 penisy women, though. I think Jolyon meant don't listen to the boring old MK1 cunty kind.

We're all old and middle class again I see.

Unlike Jolyon.

Crouton19 · 18/02/2022 09:22

I logged out to look at that too and feel v angry now. Of course, why listen to the women who know you best and care about you most, assuming there might be some mutual love and respect back. What a silly idea. Mums, wives and sisters are totally disposable. Daughters (sorry, sons) too I guess.
