Then ask for the pin for the online access.

You will be contacted with instructions on how to observe the hearing.

I have sent a request but haven't had anything back yet. Hopefully nearer the time.

I'm itching to post an 'irony' gif in the chat. I wouldn't of course.

It's not an open sesame. :)

Loving AH saying orally, sounds like the builders from Fawlty Towers. 😄

Has anyone tried to open the link to the docs in chat? I daren't...

I'm sure there are people with photographic 'memories', in any case. People could share their 'memorising' workload.

Colour me surprised that Stonewall don't want their m.o. to be laid out bare.

I want to add 'au contraire, Mr Hochauser!'

I'll keep my powder dry too, Pyjama.

Mr Hochhauser seems a bit rattled.

EJ: Should press be allowed to have a downloadable version and not press?

An interesting question.

I thought the same, ickky! 😂

'Oreilly Men'

I have, it took around 5 minutes to load. Then you try to go to a different page and it also takes a while to load. I have a really good laptop and lots of ram, so not a hardware issue.

It is. Looking forward to what happens here.

AH for GCC wants no one, whoever they are, to have downloadable versions of the witness statements, ie documents that will be available after the trial is over.

I have accessed the pdf, yes. It takes a long time to open as it's so large.

Judge seems fairly sensible so far.

One gets the sense that she's not going to be swayed by hyperbole.

Hyperbole? Brace yourselves ...

The other side talk of the dangers of letting the genie out of the bottle. Well, if that hadn't happened with the GRA 2004 and the proposed self ID amendment we would be here, would we?

As expected, a timely comeback from BC.

I wonder if Stonewall Barristers are instructed to have a tantrum if the judge doesn't do what they say :D

AH: Tribunal Tweets has13000 followers who could download the bundle! Panic! 13000 individuals who could then pass the information on to others.

Ben saying that once a document has been referred to it's in the public domain and can be referred to and shared.

Bundle just opened for me and it is a MONSTER.

BC is right that it's almost impossible to follow the proceedings with that bundle. Disgraceful.

BC offering a very sensible compromise.

I get the feeling EJ is itching to allow the bundles to be downloaded and just needs someone to put forward a sensible way of handling it which BC has done.

Remember Denton's playbook. Work in the shadows, work through proxies and friends, work covertly because Trans ideology won't be popular with the public. Keep things quiet, conceal, hide, never let anyone know what the real intention is.

BC is very sensible.
