A very odd response. Some legal actions succeed. Some fail. I will donate to whatever I like because #lawfare seems to be our only reliable option here.
I am well aware the challenge to the EHRC failed, alongside challenge to prison policy. But Maya Forstater won. @fairplaywomen won. Kate Scottow won. The Court of Appeal currently deciding on #FairCopAppeal.

IW continues: it was NOT an objective fact that my client had committed a 'hate incident'.

Now issue of proportionality. What is the correct approach on appeal? Will need to establish a significant error of principle. We say there were.

@HarryTheOwl101 in the Court of Appeal. Link to live streaming below.

Read the first judgment here.
