[IDareSay]

First thread here

Started thread 2 as this seems destined to run for some time...

P the D does not accept the damage to the phone was by him. Nor that it was reckless.
P I call the first witness - SB [someone goes to get SB who is sitting o/s court]

2. The definition
Extremism is the promotion or advancement of an ideology[footnote 3] based on violence, hatred or intolerance[footnote 4], that aims to:

negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms[footnote 5] of others; or
undermine, overturn or replace the UK’s system of liberal parliamentary democracy[footnote 6] and democratic rights[footnote 7]; or
intentionally create a permissive environment for others to achieve the results in (1) or (2).
The types of behaviour below are indicative of the kind of promotion or advancement which may be relevant to the definition, and are an important guide to its application. The further context below is also an essential part of the definition.

3. Behaviour that could constitute extremism
Aim 1 (negate or destroy fundamental rights and freedoms): Behaviour against a group, or members of it, that seeks to negate or destroy their rights to live equally under the law and free of fear, threat, violence, and discrimination. Including:

Using, threatening, inciting, justifying, glorifying or excusing violence towards a group in order to dissuade them from using their legally defined rights and freedoms.
Aim 2 (undermine, overturn or replace liberal democracy): Attempts to undermine, overturn, or replace the UK’s system of liberal parliamentary democracy and democratic rights. Including:

Advocating that the UK’s parliamentary democracy and democratic values and rights are not compatible with their ideology, and seeking to challenge, overthrow, or change our political system outside of lawful means.
Using, threatening, inciting, justifying, glorifying or excusing violence towards citizens, in order to dissuade them from participating freely in the democratic process.
Subverting the way public or state institutions exercise their powers, in order to further ideological goals, for example through entryism, or by misusing powers or encouraging others to do so.
Using, threatening, inciting, justifying, glorifying or excusing violence towards public officials including our armed forces, police forces and members of local, devolved or national legislatures, in order to dissuade them from conducting their obligations freely and fearlessly, without external interference.
Establishing parallel governance structures which, whether or not they have formal legal underpinning, seek to supersede the lawful powers of existing institutions of state.
Aim 3 (enabling the spread of extremism): Intentionally creating a permissive environment for behaviour in aim 1 or aim 2. Including:

Providing an uncritical platform for individuals or representatives of groups or organisations that have demonstrated behaviour in either aim 1 or aim 2.
Facilitating activity of individuals or representatives of groups or organisations that have demonstrated behaviour in either aim 1 or aim 2, including through provision of endorsement, funding, or other forms of support.
The dissemination of extremist propaganda and narratives that call for behaviour in either aim 1 or aim 2.
Attempts to radicalise, indoctrinate and recruit others to an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance, including young people.
Consistent association with individuals or representatives of groups or organisations that have demonstrated behaviour in either aim 1 or aim 2 without providing critical challenge to their ideology or behaviour.
If any behaviour listed in aim 1 or aim 2 has occurred previously, a refusal by the individual, group or organisation that conducted the behaviour to rescind, repudiate or distance themselves from the behaviour.

Just y'know. Saying.

[SB enters court and goes to witness box. Wearing black trousers, blue work shirt. Has long dark hair and is wearing glasses. SB is affirmed. Asks to sit down. J says yes. He is quite posh.]

Brilliant.
Using, threatening, inciting, justifying, glorifying or excusing violence towards a group in order to dissuade them from using their legally defined rights and freedoms.
Supreme Court judgment is the gift that keeps on giving.

P - asks name "Sophia [Anne/Anthea?] Brooks" P- when did you start using that name?
SB - about 2022 [I think]
P - want to ask you about Oct 2024 in QEII centre in London - were you aware of an LBG Alliance event taking place that day
SB I was yes

P - broadly speaking do you agree or disagree with their ideas
SB - disagree, broadly speaking
P - can you briefly explain what your and what LGB's stance is an were you disagree
SB - I believe the LGB alliance opposes my rights as a TG person
P - in particular?

A thread on the capture of the Met. I can't C&P all of it because of images, but will paste most messages here, full thread on the link:

'Officers are acting in accordance with the training you’ve given them, Commissioner.

They’ve been told “GC people have warped twisted views and are motivated by hate". This was at New Scotland Yard, was applauded by your officers, and defended in court.
(Newman v Met)'

'In Newman v Metropolitan police, we heard about a Trans Day of Visibility in 2023, held on Met premises, attended by their staff and officers.

Speakers included activists Saba Ali and Eva Echo. They defended the contribution of these activists in the tribunal.'
...

'We even learnt during the tribunal, that there had been a counter terrorism assessment of GC women’s groups.

Pressed for by their Trans and Non Binary network and duly reported to them.'

'Newman v Met is the tip of the Metropolitan Police iceberg.

There is a rot in policing, whose leaders are unwilling to accept responsibility or commit to wholescale change.

They are infiltrated by activists, act for activists, and are afraid to say no to activists. '

'The Met police found the time to write a letter, apologising for not discovering who ‘leaked’ the TDOV comments.

The fact they are now facing a storm of exposure for unwisely jumping to the demands of activists is their fault alone. They took a side and lost impartiality.'

The Commissioner’s statement 👇claims officers had no alternative to arresting Graham Linehan. That’s just not true though.

Women have faced horrendous threats, abuse and harassment from activists and are mainly brushed off with no action taken.
A side was taken.

It should be a surprise to no one, least of all Sir Mark Rowley, that his officers leap to the demands of extremists. After all, they are welcoming, paying and applauding extremists themselves.

@WomensRightsNet wrote 👇 to the Met to warn them of this danger.


DC Melanie Newman also courageously challenged the Met at a Tribunal. Because without brave people, nothing changes.

She lost, but is appealing. Details of how to support her are here 👇'

SB - nothing in particular
P - did you go to Westminster on 11 Oct 2024 SB - yes P - what time did you get to QEII vicinity

So the Cricket incident will also get sunshine and maybe LGB Alliance some publicity. All good stuff.

SB At Glinner - belonging to Graham Linehan
P where did that image come from
SB to the best of my knowledge Feb 2023
P how many followers has Glinner

P do you know FW
SB an acqaintance
P see the tweet views

SB battle of ideas fest and one other occasion
P so who were the two homophobes referring to
SB me
P are you homophobic?
SB er no I'm a bisexual person

[P takes him to a long post from L]
P not going to read it all out - but it says listen met police, but bringing these three men in could save a lot of time for your officers - they've been harassing a lot of people
[P skips a bit]
P - L says you have tried to infiltrate...

... LWS events in disguise.
P have you done that
SB yes
P - L says will the met police take action on this "domestic terrorism" - some silly children "doing the bidding of very dangerous men"

SB three unknowns

P - see L here asks how long before a woman is killed by one of these trans activists
SB yes
P - see post from L saysing "here is a recording of the man behind countless episodes of harassment... he is a deeply disturbed sociopath"
SB yes
P posted alongside an image of you
SB

Opposes his rights as a TG person
What in particular?
Nothing in particular

Lol. This is like turning up for a job interview without an answer to the question 'why do you want this job?'

There is no particular way in which GL opposes his rights as a TG person? But he's been showing up at GC events to harass everyone anyway?

(as an aside: Ursula Doyle has donated her surplus funds raised to Melanie Newman's fund. And is encouraging people to donate if they can)

P who is domestic terrorist here
SB me

Glad he admits it. 😉

Yeah I wondered that 🤔

... yes
P who did you understand the deeply disturbed sociopath to be
SB me
P how did you feel about that
SB alarmed and distressed
P expand
SB I was being called a DDS by a famous person with a lot of followers any of whom could have caused great harm to me

[P taking him to a q asked of L about being a bit softer on scumbag grooming homophobic sociopathic sadists?] - see it
SB yes
P who is SGHSS?
SB me
P have you ever gone by the name of Tarquin
SB no
P is it your birth name
SB no
P how did you get it
SB it is apparently to do...

P who have you this name
SB Graham Linehan
P did you go to the battle of ideas
SB yes I bought a ticket
P who did you go with
SB freda wallace
P did you encounter Kate harris there?
SB yes
P who is she

SB something to do with LGB Alliance
P who were hosting the confy
SB yes
P was there an encounter
SB yes she stormed up to me in an aggressive manner
P what were you doing
SB taking pictures of the panellists from some distance away

Superb

NB: if that's the video of Tarquin aggressively sticking a camera or phone into peoples faces, I hope it gets shown to the judge.

I don't think anyone has fully grasped the implications of Forstater and the SC ruling just yet.

We are getting there.

I suspect the ultimate conclusion is that Transcels will be recognised as extremists just like Incels are some point because of spiralling patterns of behaviour.

And Transcels will make life very difficult for much more moderate trans identifying people.

This isn't the fault of women defending their own rights.

Graham temporarily borrowed that sandwich board from Billy Moore (Edge of the Matrix) who attends TRA rallies & posts the interactions on YouTube. BM has an interesting back story.

It sounds like it.

Some of the admissions today about potential extremism are also noticeable.
