Just to say Darlington Nurses still need quite a lot of gardening;

@SexRealistic, you can't trust anyone, can you!

I think you might need a new, um ... sack, to wear

At this point I wanted to draw my hand across my throat.

Come on Sean - you were kicking an own goal at this point.

Oh wow thanks !! ❤️
This is so much more complementary than the one I produced
See page 31 What was I thinking

SD: An investigation is a neutral act.

He later claimed that suspension is not a neutral act. Yet I'm sure I remember us being told in Sandie Peggie's case that suspension was also a neutral act. I'd hate to be an electrician on if positive/neutral/negative can all change around like this

SD: We had an unexpected appearance this week from Sarah Palin. She was John McCain's running mate in 2007. McCain and Obama did not agree on much, bu McCain still asked Obama to deliver the eulogy at his funeral.

If the law is on your side, pound the law. If the facts are on your side, pound the facts. If neither are on your side, pound the table. If the whole court is on best and most cordial behaviour because an opposing lawer has demonstrated she will ask for recusal of anyone who puts a toe over the line, tell stories full of irrelevant and confusing diversions - like my dad explaining he had a cheese sandwich for lunch today and somehow including an anecdote about a Bedford van not being able to get up a hill in 1957, one about the design of the M1 bridge at junction 12, and a complete recounting of the 3rd try in last week's All Blacks game.

Beautiful 😍

NW has, understandably, pasted in the almost full quote from the employment contract - which has been read out before, so he probably had it saved (there's a little more to the full thing about not going over the working time directive limits).

SD did not say this.

In his oral sumbission he abridged it as follows:

"You shall not without the express permission of management engage in any paid or unpaid activity which may directly conflict with the business interests of the employer or its members or which may interfere with your normal work."

Stopping half way through the sentence completely changes the meaning.

Do let us know how your new job is going, if you can.

@SexRealistic am I confused - or typos? SM or MD at BFF for 20+ years?

Weirdly enough I think that's quite a compliment to NC, and the tweet was quite funny (clearly responding to a tweet from NW). I haven't seen any other posts from the Equality Commission (coz I haven't looked).

Sara Morrison now has a job as lead for Genspect Ireland.

https://genspect.org/international/genspect-ireland/

Michele has been there from the start.

Sara joined in 2020 maybe? Not much longer than that.

OMG! That’s egregious. He used the same truncation in his XE of Sara. He’s rested one of the most important aspect of their defence on that and totally mislead the public if not the court. Presumably that’s why he did it. Snake.

That's great news for SM and for Genspect Ireland!

And I wasn't aware of Genspect Ireland being separate from the general Genspect that I know about. It's great to know about it, it's very very much needed in Ireland!

You don't get the teensiest hint of misogyny from the comment?

No i didn't. Because I think it's the response that anyone of us on here would give if NC asked us to do something in her direct way. And it is clearly someone who has been following the ET closely. At least they used recuse, rather than refuse.

He read it quite quickly so I didn't get it all down, but I don't think he did.

I think Nick took the full version from the bundle but as far as I remember SD omitted the 'you've caused us all so much stress' bit from the oral submission and only read out the deep regrets/warm regards parts.

Agreed. And it's following a tradition of all sorts of people following NC's crosses in previous cases saying that they'd instantly confess to murder if Naomi so much as asked what they had for breakfast. It's a joke about her formidable effectiveness, she's not the butt of it at all.

@ProfessorBinturong Fair enough - I just thought it was one of those things it depends who's saying it.

As an aside worth reading the attached article from @MyrtleLion link
Unforeseen consequences of allowing a GRC so easily and without full consultation in Ireland

I remember that story. It's going to be chaos, isn't it, after a few years of this? In Ireland, in Germany, all over the place.

But we are leading the way in the UK.

Other countries will follow our lead.

We are the vanguard.

Be proud.

[paints St George cross on front door] 😁

For all people mock the UK's 'soft power', I think other countries do take notice of us. Isn't that happening in Australia and NZ right now? Even in the US, a few sane Democrats are pointing to the UK as a cautionary tale to be followed. So yes, I think the UK does have something to be proud of there. With a special shout out to the women of Scotland, of course.

personally i think this is lost. I absolutely hope not. I’m for SM all the way, it may need appealed with less biased judge and panel. Judge is very biased i think. Obviously easily appealed. Given all that’s happened,……
