Flowers, applause etc for Allison...

[SelfPortraitWithFoxInSmokingJacket]

As she has now finished - and may not feel like trawling through the other tribunal threads, understandably - I wanted to put up a thread for her with no discussion etc, just saying how brilliantly she did. Allison*, if you're reading this, you are utterly impressive, courageous, gracious and fearsomely intelligent. Thank you and well done. 💐

*I am being a little presumptuous with your first name - forgive me, 'Ms Bailey' felt weird (and a bit too Hochhausery). 😉

Heartfelt thank you from me.
Thank you for doing this for us all.

I want some of her cool, calm superpower. She chaired one of the WPUK meetings I was at, she is so impressive. Total admiration for her composure this week.

Honestly Allison how you stayed so cool during the last few weeks is a super power. Well done and whatever takes your fancy to you.

Thank you Allison ❤

I've been watching quite a lot of your tribunal and evidence.

Allison you are magnificent - your grace under pressure, cool head, clever sharp mind, persistance, stamina - all so inspiring. I have no doubt this whole experience has been hugely stressful & challenging - thank you for taking this on. True shero.

💐🍸

Brava!

Amazing women Allison...💥

♥️ Allison

Thank you - you are one hell of a woman 🌺🌺

You are an absolute queen. I've never met you but the way you've conducted yourself over the last few days under immense pressure has been extraordinary. I cannot fathom how you managed to stay so calm.

I really hope you have a wonderful weekend surrounded by people who love you.

And if I ever need a barrister, I would like you please.

Just adding my squeaky little voice to this chorus of approval- thank you, Allison, you are amazing! I hope you can rest and recuperate a bit this weekend. 🌷

I'm in awe of you Alison. What a fantastic thing you've achieved I hope my DD will grow up with even a fraction of your grit, determination, and integrity.

Adding my thanks Allison, whatever the result this case has been worth bringing

Thank you Allison, for speaking out for all women. Even the ones who haven't yet realised they too need protection from the oppressive nature of GI ideology. Your tenacity in the face of so much institutional opposition is waking people up. I wish we could have all stood with you as you gave your testimony, you have a support army behind you! 💪💐

I hope you do read this Allison, I've been cheering you on through this. You are amazing, thank you for standing up to the Stonewall bullies from another adult female human concerned about the ideology they prosthelytize and the impact it is having on women and children. Your evidence has been so clearly and calmly given, both in your witness statement and in person. The tide does seem to be turning, I hope the tribunal goes in your favour. 👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟

Thank you for everything, Allison. Whatever the outcome, I consider my contribution to your crowdfunder to be money very well spent.

You have done an amazing thing. You are an inspiration 💐

Can I just add that this is one of the most uplifting threads I have read in a long time. I love seeing how much Allison has impacted us all. I've had a really shit day but everyone's messages have lifted my spirits. 👏😍💖

Thank you from me and my Daughters too. I wish I had a smidgeon of your courage and eloquence.

Have a restful weekend.

Allison thank you for everything you have done to help other women despite the huge personal cost to you

As you know the law and justice can be quite different. I hope that a judge will actually recognise how poorly you were treated and that you will get the outcome you deserve.

Thank you from my whole family

What is emerging at this tribunal is well overdue an airing in the harsh light of a searingly sunny day; and you delivered this.

I have no words to adequately describe my admiration of your composure and conduct through this case, but I know that history will remember you well

You are an absolute bloody marvel Alison. You should never have to buy a drink in a pub again - certainly if I ever find myself in a bar that you are in I will be buying your drinks and I suspect every over GC woman will be doing the same.

Thank you Allison for everything you have done.

Whatever the outcome of this tribunal, I am very grateful for your courage and determination to ensure the truth is uncovered.

Thinking about it - in addition to posting here I suspect we should all be sending our "Thank You" cards, flowers and gifts to:

Alison Bailey
c/o Garden Court Chambers
57-60 Lincoln's Inn Fields,
London
WC2A 3LJ

And, of course, if anyone knows any solicitors who sometimes instruct criminal defence lawyers do point out that Alison is a marvel and they should consider using her.
And if anyone knows anyone who is a criminal defence barrister maybe suggest that they talk to their set about offering Alison a tenancy so that she can get out of GCC!
