The filmmakers of 'Adult Human Female' are taking UCU to tribunal.

I'll try to find an archive copy.

And the opposite of decent is..?

And we’re back to the concept as “law as we think it should be rather than how it is”. I suspect they think they’re “going further” than the law rather than simply being wrong (as demonstrated by the witness’ not understanding the exemptions of the EA 2010 or indeed that GC views are also protected)..

Apparently decent academic base their views on evidence, so the publicity generated by the tribunal will have made them watch the film and form an opinion. And if people think the film makers are transphobic that is a considered, academic view, and entirely the film makers fault

She's not aware of ANYTHING or ANYONE
(except what it suits her to be aware of).

The classism is tangible

She is signed up to an elitist, colonialist and more than slightly paranoid alternative reality group, where mentioning or referring to unwanted facts or jarring said alternative reality (or resisting it's supremacy and the supremacy of people like here What Are Righteous) are evil and must be shut out.

Those outside of the alternative reality group are not entitled to equality or rights, or anything really, due to their sins and inferiority, and their failure to submit and obey their betters. It's about how American governments of the time viewed the Native Americans or slaves. Or how the English suppressed the Scots, including punishing and wiping out their language. Although in this alternative reality those doing it would performatively enact their progressive liberalism by decrying that specific historical colonialism and bore you to tears on the evils of it, while blinding themselves to their being actually, precisely the same kind of person doing the precise same thing.

Mantras like 'dogwhistle' merely translate as 'that's an illegal thought'. 'Far right' is another comfort bin in which to stuff uncomfortable facts and thoughts.

So many of these people are so depressingly stupid.

I've just remembered that I have some old Acme dog whistles from when we used to have dogs. I knew there was a reason to keep them - I think I'll start wearing them as necklaces.

Are they still going?

Back at 2

A “teaching fellow” is a lecturer on a teaching-only permanent contract. Same pay level as “lecturer” (contracted for teaching and research) and “research fellow” (research only, no teaching).

Next level is “senior lecturer, senior teaching fellow, senior research fellow”.

This is in Uk, there was some renaming a few years ago.

Anyone got the a sample application email to watch live?

I've written to Edinburgh Tribunal but then seen it's a Watford?? Who should I write to?

They are asking for a case reference number ... And court serve is not my friend today.

Thanks!

Who knew you could call your dog to heel simply by saying what a woman is?

I think the case number is 3309730/2023

Thanks. Do you know who I email?

Write to Watford

Yes. Alas, I can't find an email address - do you know who you wrote to?

[email protected]

I just heard back from Watford (been waiting 3 days) and they said they can't give out the link as they are at max capacity.

Shame as I really wanted to see GB this afternnoon - I recognised his name and then remembered he was a nasty piece of work on X during the protests against the film screening.

It won't let me join as it says my pin (which was working fine) is now invalid

That’s a shame, @GreenUp. I imagine that usually there aren’t many observers, so the system isn’t set up for very large numbers of participants.

I suppose it’s like wristbands at festivals, one person only, not removable, so you can’t share one and let a friend go in your place when you can’t.

I don’t know if being at capacity had anything to do with the slight technical issues there were this morning. Do we know where NC and TB are? I’m wondering if they have to go to another civil court, or if they can use their own premises.

Yes my pin is now invalid

Same here!

I think there's a belief at the ET that any technical problems they're having is because of "too many observers".

My PIN is also now invalid.

An email from the Listing Officer to everyone whose PIN they have invalidated might save them being inundated by requests for new ones.

Well that's annoying!

I only logged out over lunch because the Judge asked us to!

I got "invalid PIN" and tried on different browsers, several times, and eventually I got back in.
