''It was the fuckaroundest of times, it was the findeoutest of times.''

From that TwitterX thread. Properly lolled.

Asking for an indiscretion here, do we have a ballpark fig for how many £££s are to be paid?

My thoughts too 🫣

Lost my post, but does that order actually cover ALL costs? I'm not sure eg solicitor fees. It would be a shame if the crowdfunder monies actually couldn't be fully reused elsewhere if needed.

Just so everyone is aware.......

Whenever a image is posted you need to click on it to see all of it.

Will the fact there was a crowd funded make a difference to the £££.

I hope not. If they can I hope FWS can use the money raised to help others. Rachel Meade comes to mind as she was left with quite a bill despite winning.

Good ✊ (though apologies to all of the fine GC taxpayers in Scotland).

Well I don't know. I paid once through the crowdfunder and now I'm paying again through my taxes! As others have said, it would be nice if those in the Scottish Government who have been promoting GI were personally liable. Still, it's all going to a good cause.

Probably over 700, 000

Cripes.

FWS raised £ 232 K for their case, and then you have the Scottish government/SNP lawyers to be paid, unsure of their costs in total, but I do think it will be a very expensive fuck up by SG

Next steps for FWS… looks like the establishment are going to make women fight for our rights every step of the way. Buckle up wims!
