Zack Polanski and the code

[WallaceinAnderland]

Has anyone seen any comment from Polanski regarding the EHRC code?

As far as I can tell, he's conspicuously silent.

He can say whatever he likes about the code, his time is already passed. He achieved peak popularity on about day three of his reign. Before anyone had heard him say anything. He's pretty much a spent force now.

'Scared and exhausted' - more hyperbole. It feels manipulative and cynical.

They have to keep the panic levels high, with the false threats of oppression, marginalisation, violence, days of remembrance when no-ne has died, annihilation, literal genocide.
That way they keep the trans community in a constant state of hypervigilance about things that never happen.

A community under threat of oppression and violence has the right to defend itself by any means necessary, right? So that's how to 'justify' shouting down opponents and smashing windows and hitting women - it's self defence, isn't it?
Because we're scared and exhausted and threatened with genocide.

I'm sure lots of transpeople see through that hyperbole and know it doesn't have a basis in reality. But obviously many buy into it, possibly the younger and more vulnerable ones? and lots of them will be out tomorrow in Parliament Square.

What is this High Court decision of which he speaks?

Does he mean the Supreme Court judgment?

Imbeciles the lot of them.

"support the Good Law project in their appeal against the high court decision."

The funniest bit in this line is not the Supreme Court mixup with the High Court.

It is the idea that the GLP are going to help the Trans activist cause.

As we all know GLP are huge assets for the pro-women side as they keep losing cases and making case law for our position stronger see the recent victory against the NHS for one example of this. Moreover it is pretty clear the GLP attempt to challenge the SC decision has more or less fallen apart as was obviously going to happen.

GLP just got paid huge amounts to shuffle papers and post more fundraisers.

Keep paying them money Zack though remember to get the Council Tax sorted first.

Also it is put up or shut up time. Are the Greens going to try an attempt to stop the code in the Commons or the Lords? Is this just words or will they do something?

"5.10 If there is no resolution within 40 days by either House moving a fatal prayer motion against the draft Code, the EHRC may “issue” the Code under section 14(8)"

The code is so bad then try to stop it. Explain why women's rights don't matter on record.

Green legislators have done this before. Natalie Bennett did a Fatal Motion against the Public Order Act SI earlier this year in the Lords. See here:

Any Fatal Motion will fail obviously. However more open debate is great for our side. Lets see who actually believes in human biology.

😭

I think he means the high court judgement on the interim guidance.
That's why he references GLP.

Zach P reminds of some student drama teacher who thought he would be a hit with kids but in reality they all thought he was a bit of prat. There was some article in the Economist (I think) about how many thousands of posts he’d made or liked. A massive percentage of the ones he liked were those praising himself. As for the trans stuff I always get the impression that as soon as something becomes less fashionable they just move on to the next. Climate change, BLM, trans and more recently Israel Palestine - next year it will be something different again.

💯 I agree.

He writes a very short post backing trans rights in a way that shows that he hasn't got a clue about the issue and can't be arsed to learn. He can't pass up a chance to show he's on the right side of history, especially when it costs him nothing (not even time to understand the issue or issue a proper statement) and can pass all the consequences onto women.

But he makes sure to support The Good Law Project, run by another glib, brogressive grifter. I assume he's hoping for mutual back-scratching from Jolyon.

His new nickname is Walter Titty

I do like that, it's very witty but I'm wedded to HypnoTit's or (HypnoBoobs for mixed company). 😂

I’m sure lots of transpeople see through that hyperbole and know it doesn't have a basis in reality. But obviously many buy into it, possibly the younger and more vulnerable ones? and lots of them will be out tomorrow in Parliament Square.

Going by this poster, I can guess what’s going to be out & I’m glad I’m not going.

I helped to organise an event in Parliament Square once, & getting permission / liaising with the police was complicated & involved. I bet the TRAs simply get on with it on the assumption that nobody’s going to stop them.

This.

What does this prayer motion thing require and what happens? Completely ignorant! 😂

Basically it forces a vote and debate on changes to Statutory instruments.

A prayer motion can be used by members of either House to object to a negative statutory instrument. In the Commons, a prayer motion is usually a particular type of early day motion tabled against a negative instrument. Prayers can be ‘fatal’ or ‘non-fatal’.
https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02569/

These motions virtually never win. The last one that succeeded in the Commons was in 1979.

Note non-fatal motions basically just register a objection without actually trying to stop legislation.

It will be very telling if no-one in Parliament actually tries something to stop the code no matter how pointless it is and we can also see who bothers to vote on either side.

Look at this poster! Toilets toilets toilets. No other aspect of life where the Equality Act applies. Just toilets toilets toilets.
They are obsessed with toilets.

Does the 'T' in LGBT actually stand for toilets??🙄

How blokey is the language on that poster 😂

And bottles of urine coming by the looks of things, do they have any other ideas?

Yes, I wonder what will be the next big thing? Any guesses?

Doesn't he just? He thinks he's going for the easy wins, like Gaza. He thought the restraining of the Golders Green suspect was a George Floyd moment, so he jumped in there. It wasn't.
He just doesn't have the understanding and intellect, and is relying on sectarianism to bolster his popularity.

Sit on our shitters and let us take photographs?

Yeah that'll do it

😂T is for toilets!!

🤢🤮. Showing their vulnerability and womanliness I don't think. Hopefully publicity and images from this planned protest will jolt more women into seeing why we need single sex spaces.
