1. In an employment tribunal in 2012 between Claimant Mr R Fraser and Respondent, the University and College Union, Mr Fraser charged the Respondents with ‘institutional anti-Semitism’ which, he said, constituted harassment of him as a Jew.#RFraser #Antisemitism
2. The Judge was AM Snelson, R Fraser was represented by Mr Anthony Julius of Mishcon de Reya, solicitors and Antony White QC represented the defendants. It can be viewed here HT @dascott66 judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl… #AMSnelson #RFraser #AntonyWhite #AnthonyJulius #MishconDeReya
@dascott66 3. The Judge was clear that John Mann was hostile and came up with little to no evidence of anti- semitic actions. #JohnMann #AntisemiticSlurs #AntiSemitismCzar 
@dascott66 4. The Judge described John Mann's evidence as "glib", that Mann gave his opinions without any evidence or suggestion as to what could be done differently. #JohnMann #AntisemitismCsar #Boris
@dascott66 5. In a blistering assessment the Judge commented that Mann clearly "enjoyed making speeches" and ventilating his opinions rather than telling the tribunal about facts. #JohnMann #AntiSemitismTsar judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…
@dascott66 6. The Judge also mentioned that despite these being opinions, the Claimants lawyer Anthony Julius of Mischon de Reya, "took the opportunity to explore their opinions nonetheless" #JohnMann #AnthonyJulius #MischonDeReya
@dascott66 7. The proceedings were dismissed and described them as "an impermissible attempt to achieve a political end by litigious means". He sensed a worrying disregard for pluralism, tolerance and freedom of expression. #JohnMann #FakeAntisemitism #AntiSemiticSlur
@dascott66 8. John Mann appears to be intolerant, opinionated without evidence, hostile, and wishes to achieve political ends by disregarding tolerance and free speech. #JohnMann #AntiSemitismTsar #Boris #Antisemitism #Racism
