I don't think the NI health and safety regulations are relevant if this case isn't about toilets but more free speech / constructive dismissal / belief discrimination

(actually how is belief discrimination currently defined in NI, does it include GC beliefs like the EQA does? May have missed the point a bit but Sara's case could obviously clarify that)

Thanks for all the X love. I'm mainly a lurker and private on there as don't want to out myself as GC publicly although I do call myself a weegie lass on there too.

There is a mad load of grifting goes on in NI. This is a supreme example. She definitely needs called out. Not sure how this fits in within the context of this tribunal. I would definitely love all the shit hitting the fan! I am guessing that all these people are on the catholic side of the divide. Although sturgeon is an unusual catholic name. It is so unfortunate that being associated with ‘definitely not wanting men in women’s changing rooms and being averse to voyerism etc’ means you are aligned with homophobia, racism, fascism. And that it means you’re ‘not kind’ and you are for ‘hate’. Who positioned it all that way? That’s a rhetorical question.

Not sure that everyone is Catholic.

But its a circular economy. We pay Council tax. Lets assume it pays money to Screen NI, and also funds the Belfast Film Festival. And Screen NI also funds the Belfast Film Festival. And then the BFF also apply for grants.

So all this public money goes to pay a Director salary and a few other staff.

It also buys a BIGLY SCREEN. It is a depreciating asset with ongoing costs to store, manage and ERECT.

I'm not sure how the Directors of the company took the view that this was acting in the best interest of their shareholders....And why public money is flowing to a private company who survives on charity.

But there's a difference between a union's interpretation of the law and the actual law.

Indeed

If she was the idiot providing the bloody pellets for the ashes to cash scandal that she’s up to her neck in it all.

She can call herself whatever she likes and sit on whatever tribunal she wants and government wont say a word.

"Contempt of court".

Making public comments, especially on social media, that could unfairly sway public opinion about a case.

You can bet your bottom dollar that many of the posts made on here will be under consideration @ Killymeal House tomorrow morning.

Public confidence in the justice system is undermined by

(A) lay people calling themselves and Judges and when challenged feigning illness and being allowed to slink off
(B) people sick of the absolute prejudice shown about sex realist beliefs being scrupulously accurate about facts

I do fundamentally believe that any bias can be dealt with and the case can get back on track. But unlike Michele turning up with her 37 page ERECTION manual - we need to see hard evidence.

There's another possible hitch too: the SC judgment doesn't automatically apply to Northern Ireland, because the 2010 Equality Act doesn't apply: So it's not (yet) clear that women in NI are entitled to single sex spaces: It's one of the reasons this tribunal is important (as I understand it anyway- not a lawyer!)

The SC Judgement does apply in Northern Ireland. I know that the Equalities legislation is different but in principle it needs to be applied in line with the SC judgement in mind.

I'm very sceptical indeed about this autoclave on a massive scale. From the few minutes I listened to of the Riser interview, DB was very vague about the actual process. I think she said it produced no pollution; chlorine was mentioned but nothing about where it went. So is the pollution just put off until the pellets are burned, say in place of coal in a power station? Rubbish into the huge autoclave, gets steamed (killing off bacteria), out come pellets (not just hydrocarbons, but including all the other elements from the rubbish) and then we burn them, releasing who knows what into the atmosphere?

Is anyone using these wonderful ginormous autoclaves, or did Re3 go out of business because there was actually no real world value in environmental terms?

I'm well aware that I may have got the wrong end of the stick somewhere, but from what I heard it just didn't sound plausible. Too much like cold fusion in my cynical opinion. The (impossible) perpetual motion machine. "Every engine must have an exhaust pipe" as my thermodynamics tutor used to say, and a pollutionless process is awfully adjacent to a miracle.

Edited

Haven't watched the interview but why do the bacteria need to be autoclaved if everything gets burned anyway?

SexRealistic · 16/11/2025 21:47

BettyBooper · 16/11/2025 21:07

DB may be a lovely person, but so far, she's called herself a Dr, a Prof and a Judge - none of which is true.

Words matter and she is judging people in an official capacity.

If she really thinks that being a Visiting Professor years back means that she is actually a Professor, she genuinely does not have the capacity to be judging others.

This is really concerning.

Betty you always speak the truth very kindly.

Do you think they are going to trawl through every single post on this thread and previous ones and check out all the musings, sources and sharing? What would be the benefit of that for anyone?

When they didn't check that the panel member was who she said she was for several years or even decades?

Seems a weird set of priorities to me.

I love this.

The Tribunal does need to get its own house in order.

We have receipts.

I've said before, if anyone wants to read up on NI institutions, Burned by Sam McBride is the definitive account of the cash for ash scandal. It's rare for a book about shoddy governance to be so gripping and funny.

Norn Iron today can be summed up with the twin images of a toasty barn with a dozen woodchip boilers blazing away, and a BIGLY SCREEN.

Namechanged999999 · 16/11/2025 21:51

I think that the ashes for cashes needs a film. It’s obviously separate from the biological men in our changing rooms but there is now a link. Prof Deborah’s input to the ashes for cashes scandal has made that link. Major film in making!

No idea, though I didn't listen very carefully to Riser flattering the Professor, I did check the purpose of an autoclave, which as I thought is an instrument used for sterilising medical equipment. If, as I suspect, Re3 was a con, "autoclave" was probably used to baffle everyone (potential investors, public servants, local politicians) with "science".

I have several autoclaves, largest can take a 20 liter fermenter with all the attachments and they use a lot of energy. I wonder how much power you'd need to run them at that sort of scale. Also, you need to pressurize to at least 15 psi. I might have to listen to the interview tomorrow.

Namechanged999999 · 16/11/2025 22:03

I was a scientist in a micro lab and used an autoclave daily to kill off microbes. I cannot imagine a scenario where loads of general waste would be sent to a very large autoclave and end up as pellets for energy use. I just don’t imagine it. Autoclaves are steam equipment and they denature bacteria. (For complete disclosure i do have a microbiology degree) my other degrees are in other areas. I would never pretend to be something i am not.
