Really interesting long read on sex and gender, law and advocacy

[Forresty]

This is a fantastic, eye-opening piece on - well, loads of things. The GLP, trans funding, Sarah Phillimore, the legal system, etc etc etc.

It's a long read, but really worth it!

Good Law Project Labelled Busybodies As High Court Rejects Challenge To Single Sex Guidance - Heartlands

The Mumsent AI title generator came up with that title, but the hook for us is obvs the GLP. But the article goes into so much else. Please read it and share it widely!

It really is a good read, thank you! In fact, it's a bit like a Readers Digest version of things we say on this thread😄

I know the Labour Party isn't popular here [I'm not in the UK so I don't have informed opinions on this] but this is the 2nd or 3rd really good article I've seen from this website, so had a look, and it's not affiliated to any party -
the 'Labour' in the name is a bit confusing in that case but I guess they are laying claim to the word and fair play to them, they wear it well

That is a very good article, thank you.

I love that article gave me strength.

Superb article! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the link, I'll read it later when I have more time (not in work) but out of interest who labelled GLP busybodies, apart from everyone who post's on here of course. 😂

Mr Justice Swift found they did not have standing, and refused them leave to appeal on this, and every other, ground. The word 'busybodies' doesn't appear anywhere, but that's pretty well what it means.

Thanks for answering, it's a shame the Mr Justice Swift didn't use the word, it would be hilarious if the GLP was legally deem as such. 😂

There is such a thing as a vexatious litigant, which I imagine could apply to claimants who keep on bringing cases where they have no standing. But GLP are careful to have co-claimants who do have standing, so will continue to get away with it, I suppose. PR wise, they present as White Knights.

Michael Foran's latest excellent piece on the Hampstead Ponds, the judicial review process and 'standing' uses the term 'busy-bodies', but it is implicitly rather than explicitly aimed at GLP.

(IMO, the cap certainly fits ...)

'Importantly, the judicial review procedure is protective of the government. There are stricter time limits to bring claims and there is a more onerous requirement that the claimant has standing to sue. These are designed to ensure that public bodies can get on with the business of government without being concerned that decisions made years prior will be challenged or that public money and time will be spent responding in court to every busy-bodies [sic] who comes along, regardless of whether they are affected by the decision. These restrictions are necessary to ensure that public bodies can act effectively in the public interest, even as they are balanced against the need to ensure that administrative decision-making operates in accordance with law.'

who labelled GLP busybodies

A judge! It's a legal term apparently! For someone/thing that has no concern in a case.

“No standing” is the legal term for busy body

Excellent summary of the GLP's breathtakingly cynical business model. As @MarieDeGournay pointed out upthread, there is nothing in the piece that you haven't read on here a hundred times before, but it's a well written piece, and we all know it isn't proper logic until a bloke puts his name to it..

Also, it will break out. As you say, it's written by a man, and it states things that yes, we know, but those out there don't.

Although, I did not know the stuff about the trans movement's funders!

Excellent article, thank you.

I've had a chance to read it now, it was a good read, so much so I might make a small donation at the end of the month, to help keep the lights on.

"They won at the Supreme Court. They won at the High Court. They will win again."

Yes they did, and yes they will, and no they shouldn't have to keep doing again and again.

Perhaps someone could copy and paste the info about the finances of the GLP on to Reddit, it's time the useful idiots knew how much they're being played for mugs.
