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

I'll try to find an archive copy.

Oh, no! Tribunal Tweets say they are having trouble connecting.

Now it's working. I suspect that (unlike other tribunals) they only allow you to wait from a few minutes before it starts

I'm in! I just clicked on connect, even tho it said invalid pin, and it worked! Try again, everyone!

I’m back in, too. Same browser, etc.

Phew!😁

I'm in!

Mr Buttars does not seem someone who will be helpful or concise

Chaos ensuing!😂

Allowed back in

Am so envious of those of you who have access - I would so dearly love to see Buttars get his comeuppance.

Who is Grant Buttars?

I think they'd make nice earrings

He is a really awful beardy UCU officer - head archivist at UofE and head honcho at UCU Edinburgh during the worst years of trans madness. Spouter of slogans, revolutionary socialist whose children go to private school.

Isn't Dr Upton's father something to do with archives at Edinburgh?

He's a member of staff (librarian of sorts, I think) at Edinburgh University, Witchfinder General president of Edinburgh UCU.

Yes, Director of Library & University Collections. Buttars' boss, presumably.

Why are they saying they neither confirm or deny that the tweets were sent, when the evidence is that they were sent by the branch?

Also GB does not seem comfortable, lots of sighing

He seems to have a nice dog though - wonder if he uses a dog whistle?

He seems quite nervous, as he should from the sound of it

<fetches eyebrows out of hairline>

Well, well, well.

Blimey! Didn’t realise this.

Gosh, that's quite the coicidence . . .

Why are they all such bullshitters.

GB seems very evasive, not wanting to admit what he said about Anne Henderson (who was the rector and she was accused of transphobia for retweeting something from Women's Place)

Gosh it is uncomfortable to watch someone with such nervy body language. He is always so aggressive online it seems that he is a classic bully - not so brave in person
