I've had Internet issues all day and haven't been able to connect much

20 minutes in with Mr Lue and barely got going.

Thanks

Thank you. Just catching up. Cripes at the bundlezilla and subsequent doh si doh dance around. That is all.

Can someone show Mr Lue where his backside is, he doesn't appear to be able to find it with both hands.

Following thank you.

Yay! We can see and hear Kate Barker.

To be fair, neither have various members of the proceedings, if the last bit of the previous thread was anything to go by.

Mr Lue is awfully confident, isn't he?? 🤨

I wasn't even watching the stream and just seeing the tweets alone made me want to start drinking. What a mess.

I don't think he is. He's very careful and I think trying not to say anything incriminating. Although why this is contentious I'm not sure.

So to sum up Mr Lue is a bit of a CF and avoiding answers.

I've finished work for the day just in time for the hearing to be running out of time (again). I hope the tribunal let it run over 4pm.

Thanks to everyone for keeping me updated. What a fucking omnishambles. If the judge is teetotal, I suspect that might change after this complete fuck-up.

I think they said they could run until 5 today

Is Mr Lue is trying to say that he didn't see Stonewall as an organisation campaigning for "trans rights"?

Don't worry, it has only just started.

Thanks. A whole 70 minutes of actual evidence. Spoilt, I am.

More likely 5 mins of evidence, and an hour plus of faffing, avoidance and IT issues.

So glad I'm on mute. My cockerels are going mad outside. They're excited to be let out again after several months in flockdown.

He seems to be saying that he didn't focus on that aspect.

I think Ben may be trying to find somewhere where he can refute that.

Dipping in and out - it's been painful today! Thanks so much for peoples input - it's so useful for my understanding.

It sounds from posters descriptions that Mr Lue is a rather slippery customer.

I think it is a shame that you are on mute as cock a doddle doing would be the icing on the cake for this tribunal today and par for the course. 😂
