I can't help thinking of 'xe' as a neo-pronoun.

It was agreed they won't read out their respective written submissions, but just respond to each other's and give a brief oral summary.

If I were her, my fibro would be playing up for a while.

I wonder if they are waiting until this one has cleared the books so to speak so as to not further taint this ET?

Yes, this sounds right. He does give the impression of being the kind of man who regards all young women as neophytes to the cult of Him, and all older women as 'difficult' (in the sense of not being immediately and demonstrably impressed by him)

Will NW have access to the written submissions? Either physically in the courtroom or because counsel are happy to release them?

Not sure. I think they will be in the bundle, but don't know if they're available there from 9am when the judge gets them - which would give NW plenty of time to copy the juicy bits - or only from the hearing start time of 11.30.

Well apparently if wasn’t a manicure. It was Barry M nail polish done badly.

I think I can understand and eugh at that offer!

Was it a many call or a 2 is 2 call?

I think that too - if DB is spoofing about her professorship, it doesn't say much for the due diligence done by whoever sets up the panels.

And if DB's fibromyalgia either doesn't exist [and lucky her if it doesn't - I wouldn't wish it on anybody!] or was falsely used as a cover for her departure from the panel, that makes the judge implicit in misleading the tribunal.

They are trying to bring this ET in to land on a wing and a prayer, without any more turbulence...

One thing from today that I don't think I spotted in NWs Tweets was that after the break between the 1st two witnesses the judge gave a Very Stern Warning about recording proceedings or taking photos, and that anyone who had done so must delete them immediately on pain of further action.

She's mentioned every day that it's not allowed, but this was much much stronger and clearly as response to Events.

It seems that a BFF member had been reported for covertly taking pics of the audience in the hearing room.

This all day 💥

Any ‘compliant’ was recieved from Outburst. Little sock puppets.

Oh lots of complaints - many complaints - all from Outburst - their CEO, their two employees and a director.

And why, were they a treasured partner organisation? Oh no - BFF CEO - Michele got off with Ruth’s partner and they haven’t worked together again.

Apparently Sarah has trained in beauty for 4 years....

I am a bit puzzled by the sick note/SSP timing but I am sure it must have been important for CE to ask

3rd July- the "send to all" without bcc email went out and then people went on hols
26 July was to be the investigation meeting
On or before 25 July MD instructed ML verbally to put SM on SSP
3 August sick note is sent in (so 8 days later).

When did SM actually go off on sick leave? Apols, I missed a lot of the early stuff.

I think she was put on sick leave before she declared herself off sick/had a sick note

I enjoyed that one too.
One to store away to await its moment.

No - 2 is 2.

Three is many.

Michele Devlin forwarded two emails to the co-chairs that formed the basis of their investigation.

Sick pay
The dates may relate to a self-certified period and/or a 3 day no payment period.
https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/sick-pay-rights#toc-2
Interesting to note:
Company sick pay: Details of your company sick pay entitlement should be included in your written statement of employment particulars, which you should be given within two months of starting work. If your company doesn't offer a scheme, the written statement should say so.
Proof of sickness: "Usually you will be able to self-certify for seven days of illness, beyond that a fit note (statement of fitness for work) is normally required."
"Employer discretion: If your employer has chosen to pay discretionary sick pay in the past this does not automatically mean they have to in the future. However, it is sometimes possible for a discretionary arrangement to become a part of your contract through 'custom and practice'.
"Statutory Sick Pay: You get SSP for the days you would normally have worked. It's not paid for the first three days you're off, unless you've been paid SSP within the last eight weeks and are eligible for it again.

So the trans identifying woman wrote a complaint sent in by a mental health agency.

Except the vulnerable person was in fact one of three employees at Outburst. The other ‘complaints were from Sarah Williams at Outburst & CEO Ruth McCartthy at Outburst. And this was all sent at the same time.

It was orchestrated with different accounts to hide the connect.

This organization Outburst was the one that Michele used to be in the board of until she stole Ruth’s girl friend and then stepped off board. Other complaints in bundle all connected to Outburst.

How cosy. https://outburstarts.com/about-contact/

She fixed a fix to fix her!

So Outburst is named as executive producer of the most recent film made by the 'hope this helps' director. Their relationship continues to flourish it would seem.

(It actually looks quite interesting.)

Many (at least two) thanks to all the pasting pastors and other posters. Rivetting stuff.

I fear I'm too late for a self-professorship but, in recognition of my preference for Vegemite over Marmaite, I propose and second myself as the next Governor-General of Australia

But it's all above board and they all independently decided, at exactly the same time, and off the back of one email sent from BFF about a bigly screen event (was the film maker who shall not be named a recipient of the email? If not that makes the timing of their email even weirder) that would be exactly the right time to complain about the nasty mean terf.

From the same text message (back on page 5 of this thread but long enough I didn't want to quote) as the clear destination quote we also have this "Michele has gathered further formal complaints relating to Sara."

Apart from making me think of gathering lilac in Spring, it would surely be more natural to say someone had received further formal complaints? To gather is an active verb whereas to receive is passive. It implies a degree of searching, seeking out.

That might just be me using too narrow a definition though
