Is that it then? No summing up etc tomorrow?
AlisonDonut · 26/05/2022 17:02
It does make you wonder what other 'protected' characteristics have fallen by the wayside by signing up to Stonewall 'Diversity Champions', doesn't it?
It is so frustating that we've gone back 30 years in terms of diversity. And these legal people thought they were so right, the couldn't see it from anyone else's point of view. Social Justice Warriors who are only interested in one groups' Social Justice.

Actually, I would like to know the answer to this as well - I don’t have Twitter either.
😀
BenCooperisaGod · 26/05/2022 16:33
Noooooo. No more Twittersplaining. Just pop Hockhouse an email, he should have it down pat by now
Iknowitisheresomewhere · 26/05/2022 16:30
I don't do twitter - can someone explain what an 'impression' is?
Does it mean that a particular tweet has been viewed that number of times?
Presumably that could be multiple times by one person so not necessarily 31 million people?
Or are they adding up impressions of each tweet - so say they wrote 30 tweets, each one viewed 1 million times - is that their 31 million?
yourhairiswinterfire · 26/05/2022 16:30
I think they're saying that Mumsnet were 'celebrating' the fact that a gender critical barrister from GCC was attending a WPUK meeting, and GCC didn't like it, because they didn't want to be associated with anything gender critical and wanted to distance themselves from it.
WallaceinAnderland · 26/05/2022 16:25
What is the relevance of the Mumsnet link to WPUK meeting chaired by AB?
Bundlephobia · 26/05/2022 17:12
Thanks everyone and especially Allison

Not fully caught up yet but my main takeaway from today was that some of the top legal minds in the country believe everything they read on the internet.
Jesus wept.
