Gardening

[ChristinaXYZ]

Paul Embury is gardening to sue Dr Jo Grady of the UCU for libel.

This is sort of GC adjactent in that Dr Grady has done little for women in HE who have been attacked for their GC views and a number of women are on record with their disappointment about her lack of support and the union under her leadship. Embury is promising the damages, if won, to women's GC groups.

"Every penny of damages will be donated to groups campaigning to defend women's sex-based rights and the integrity of women's sports."

It is a very clearly laid our funder in terms of what will happen to the funds raised and any damages at specific points in the process. One of the clearest statements of clarity on funding I've seen.

Jo Grady's behaviour and attitudes to women hace been so appalling that I'd chuck money into any 'I'm suing Jo Grady' fund.

I've often wished Paul Embury would stand for Parliament.

Glinner could do with a little gardening right now for his defence against an alleged actor.

Trowels out!

Bumping for Glinner. He's only got 11 days left, I think.

I can't chuck into this one but I agree that he's commendably clear about where the money is going and I wish him all the best.

I would like to bump this for Glinner as well. I tried to post a thread, but Mumsnet wouldn’t let me. He’s a courageous man who has not swerved.

He won.

In a statement read in the High Court today before His Honour Judge Lewis, Mr Embery's solicitor Tom Double explained that Dr Grady had libelled Mr Embery after he had posted a tweet criticising the anti-social conduct of a group of fellow passengers on a train. This tweet went viral.
Dr Grady attacked Mr Embery over the next two days, publishing the following tweets: “Grow up Paul and take a day off bullying women and pretending to be outraged for clicks. It’s pathetic at any age, but especially yours” and “It’s creepy to record young women on the train, share that video, and lie about them on social media for clout.”
Mr Embery complained that the tweets falsely portrayed him as a misogynist, a pervert, and a liar, when all he was seeking to do was defend himself, his children and fellow passengers from rowdy and threatening behaviour on public transport.
The matter was settled in April 2023 with Dr Grady agreeing to pay Mr Embery substantial damages and legal costs, and providing an undertaking not to repeat the allegations.
Mr Embery intends to donate the damages to charity.

Good to see. The number of senior people in politics, unions, the media etc who think it's OK to hurl slurs at people who they disapprove of / don't like is a depressing feature of social media. Maybe Grady will take a bit more care before attributing baseless slurs at those who Grady disagrees with.

That is bloody brilliant. Well done to Mr Embery for sticking to his guns.
