Whoever it was who came away with the "Oh hear we go" comment, and it was definetley someone from the legal side/actual Tribunal Participants, did so as an aside, not realising that their mic was not muted.
That's why Allison, quite rightly, and very very smartly, first asked the EJ to confirm all the observers were muted, so she could quite rightly ask which of her learned colleagues said it, and demand they apologise. It was shocking EJ didn't ask or probe further, but I think that's because it could possibly be a contempt of court. They would never have dared mutter that, if they were sitting in the courtroom.
It was very telling that although the person was quite happy to make derogatory remarks, whilst hiding behind their muted mic, they weren't so brave to stand behind their convictions and admit it was them (fucker). I can only hope that when they realised they had outed themselves as intolerant to say the least, and that not only AB, but everyone heard it (which is why I think observers started confirming they had all heard it too, cos EJ/AH et al were trying to gloss over it, as no-one fessed up) that they had such a quivery bum moment/their stomach dropped through their boots, and they experienced that horror cold sweat moment in case they were able to be identified, that they'll never do it again.
I am 99.9% sure it was said by someone in IO's office. Also because throughout this entire tribunal, IO's office mic is not muted when she is not actively participating, or between breaks, or when MW is shuffling papers/typing etc etc. I appreciate she'd have to remember to unmute, every time she wants to interject interrupt/harangue AB/BC when they are speaking and we have heard IO & RMW having little barely audible comments to each other when others are either giving evidence, or EJ is speaking etc, so I think they forget they've not muted themselves and did not think for a minute anyone else could hear.
I did have to laugh earlier this afternoon, when a third person randomly appeared sitting down in IO's room, sitting off to the side behnd her, and thought oh it's open season for a cast of thousands/possible support people to just appear in the proceedings now, then just as suddenly, they were no longer on the screen.
I am so glad though, this is all able to be seen by members of the public, and to see all the tactics and nonsense they are pulling, as hearing with our very own ears, how utterly crazy this ideology is, how unreasonable it all sounds (is) when said out loud, how captured supposedly learned professionals are & how much influence SW has managed to exert on businesses and public bodies, and that despite previous cases, like Maya's and updates from the likes of EHRC, proving that SW have lied misinterpreted the law, they are still doing it, even now, even in yesterday's evidence from KM, they are still misquoting Gender Identity instead of Gender Reassignment, misquoting the EA2010 & the lawful exceptions etc etc, they cannot hide it any more!!!
