This man reminds me of Kate Searle in SP’s ET. Whatever can the dynamic here be? Why is he so stubbornly captured? Surely it’s not just appeasing the unions.

I'm going to hazard a guess that he doesn't believe that TWAW, and in fact he doesn't much care. He has been caught in the middle between the unions/Stonewall/whoever was advising Leonardo, who were all pushing the case for TWAW, and the women, who were mostly not complaining, or at least not to him. He went with the empty vessels making the most noise, and now he is trying to justify that.

I’d want to stretch my legs, if i were AL.

Judge back

ETA I have no idea why this is attached to your post!!

Octoberaddsagale · 03/10/2025 15:29

Nobody called me professor when I was a part-time university lecturer, sob, sob, sniff.

Perhaps I should now refer to myself as a Professor Emeritus.

Boiledbeetle · 03/10/2025 15:30

Had a break came back then excused him!!!

ickky · 03/10/2025 15:30

NOOOOOOO 22nd October, it will clash with Darlington Nurses.

No re-examination!

I don't think that's a good sign for Leonardo.

Octoberaddsagale · 03/10/2025 15:30

Oh, no! The dates will overlap with Darlington.

Edit - ickky is always ahead of me. ♥

J That is your evidence finished.
J - in terms of procedure, need to find date for further hearing. Date 21 or 22 Oct and a date in Nov.
There is discussion about dates for submissions and clarifying what the Oct dates are

CriticalCondition · 03/10/2025 15:31

Noooo! Dates same as Darlington!

Boiledbeetle · 03/10/2025 15:32

NOOOOOOO 22nd October, it will clash with Darlington Nurses.

I wonder if I can have them running in separate rooms and wander between the two?

ickky · 03/10/2025 15:32

Also poor TT they will be very busy.

There's a joke in there somewhere about two buses coming along at once.

Further discussion about best next dates.

It had to happen eventually!

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 03/10/2025 15:33

The Judge is lovely.

FortheloveofPetethePlumber · 03/10/2025 15:33

NC: need to obey the law
AL: that's your view

I wonder about the wisdom of saying before a judge that you have no respect for the law and obeying it is a matter of opinion and choice.

I also note this adding to increasing evidence that political capture by the genderists is now openly moving onto the ground of the law is just an opinion and good people don't follow or respect the law.

This is bloody dangerous territory. If we had a PM/government with balls and a grip, or any option of a political party with a grip you would think they'd be forseeing the issues here and moving to do something about it bloody quick.

But they won't of course. I'll make a list of the laws I don't agree with and plan to regard as optional.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 03/10/2025 15:34

All done.

CriticalCondition · 03/10/2025 15:34

Yes, I like this judge. I wish we could see her. She has a lovely voice and manner.

We will

ickky · 03/10/2025 15:34

Although we know the the first few days of these Tribunals are all to cock, so maybe we can watch both?
