JR is DU's barrister she's the lady on the end of the long bench. Those opposite the camera are DU and his support team.

Can I have the recipe?

Drat! Forgot to add the link to my message ⤴️ or ⤵️

Biologically disingenuous 😂

Has anyone asked DU whether he has a uterus?

I’d imagined it quite differently! More of an auditorium with people arranged in tiers behind him. That’s rather pathetic.

Im not getting sound, just a hiss. Is that the same for everyone else u til it starts, or do I need to mess with my settings?

I feel positively virtuous compared to you lot. I've rage eaten left over Turkish lamb with giant couscous cous and a slice of sourdough toast.

No sound here @myplace

I tried to reply sooner, but pages and pages and pages of posts kept appearing!
Here's the link to the relevant 15 seconds of the Fr Ted episode.
I'm only providing the link because you asked me to, and it's childish and silly and crude innuendo and I don't approve of it, of course😇
And I've no idea why I thought of it today..

He didn't forbid the comparison, just said it may not be helpful

It's just white noise until they start.

I like the idea of a medical question, along the lines of:

If you were treating a TW medically, would you prescribe medication that could be harmful to men?

Nice use of “him” in the chat there

They form the "Wall of Sad" - you will see.

To recap:

The difference between Dr U and a man is Dr U's belief, which he says is sincere, that he's a woman, .

The difference between Dr U and a woman is Dr U's male body.

I wish i didn't have to work today, I'm raging at just the little I've caught up on.

Agree with this. I doubt it is needling, more an attempt to stop DU from hanging himself with all the rope NC has given him.

Hoping today's exchanges are picked up by journalists.

Following. Thanks all.

Is anyone able to share the link to register to join the live court case please?

It's in the OP.

It's in the OP

As long as they don’t say: “young NHS emergency doc slammed as torturer by trump supporter’s lawyer”

Agree with this. I doubt it is needling, more an attempt to stop DU from hanging himself with all the rope NC has given him.

I think this too.

I hope the biological woman line is picked up on
