This is really troubling. It shows just how the rule of law is being attacked by those who wish to prop up an ideology which finds no support in law or fact.

This is a clear allegation of judicial corruption.
We are not entirely sure WHY Mermaids and Stonewall’s efforts to intervene were rejected. One possibility is that they simply left it too late and missed the deadline. Which is interesting if true.
Because it raises the suspicion that this was done deliberately - knowing their arguments could not sustain even a few moments scrutiny, they can now push a narrative that they have been unfairly shut out.
But now we have the truly astonishing situation where a QC - who fought so hard for the independent judiciary to scrutinise every process of Brexit - damn that same judiciary as corrupt when he thinks they might rule against him.
We would expect this from some colourful anonymous anime account. But an actual QC? It shows how deep this madness goes.

We hope judgment in this case is delivered quickly and clearly.

We have been asked to clarify what the process of judicial review is and what the consequences are.

First - there is a basic distinction between civil and criminal law. A ‘trial’ usually means a criminal case. If it’s civil we say ‘hearing’. Image
Criminal cases are almost always bought by the State against an individual. Private prosecutions are very, very rare. The standard of proof is very high as conviction can lead to loss of liberty.

Judicial review is a civil remedy.
It’s a mechanism to get the courts to decide if a ‘public body’ has acted lawfully. It doesn’t look at the merits of the decision or failure to act but it questions the decision making process. Was it rational? Was it reasonable?

This is what you helped do @Humberbeat You turned ‘Jenni Murray’ from a Dame into a pejorative. Great job @CCLeeFreeman and see you in court @CollegeofPolice
The mere mention of the name Jenni Murray is classed by @Humberbeat as ‘hate designed to cause distress to the trans community...’ and may result in a Hate Incident.
When we asked @HumbersidePCC (Keith Hunter) to intervene, he laughed, mocked and blocked, describing the upset as fun.

What other legislation do we intend to "exceed"?

Laws are worded (usually very explicitly) for a very good reason.
It is unacceptable to shoehorn in an extra term to the *guidance* of a law when the legislation itself doesn't say that thing.

Why are organisations proudly breaking the law?

Labour said they were "ahead of the law".
Police cannot *exceed* speeding or drink driving laws, to below the limits.

We cannot pretend their is a tenth protected characteristics of, say, Ginger.

Imagine if we could just change the law to suit our own goals.

Ridiculous.

Law Commission now recommend ‘hate crimes’ extend to protect women.

First, we must see your definition of ‘woman’.

bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-po… Image
Because if you won’t define ‘woman’ or repeat the mantra ‘TWAW’ then what we are going to see is more women reported to the police for ‘hate’ for stating that their sex is real.
The laws dealing with harassment and abuse need urgent reform - they all predate the rise of the internet. We need creative thinking about how to investigate these offences - why not more use of civilian investigation teams?

A 13 year old GIRL has gone missing. Your report states you are looking for a boy. You cannot and must not recklessly pander to gender identity when a young life is at stake.
This is what happens when you believe @stonewalluk nonsense. Get out there and LOOK FOR A GIRL. Someone who, when they are not posing, looks like a girl. Telling people to look for a boy is idiotic, you damned fools.
We know this because someone trusts us to do the job more than they trust you and they have contacted us to warn of your ideological idiocy. Good grief. We’re speechless.

When will it be time for a Public Inquiry? As to why all this was allowed to happen? Why the @EHRC did not know the law? Why individuals had to stand up to the state and spend thousands on legal action?

And remember - the Government hasn't just stood by and watched this happen. It's allowed public money to be funnelled to organisations that have caused harm to children and threatened our fundamental human rights.
At some point, when the dust has cleared and hopefully the courts have restored some sanity to our public bodies, we will have to live and work together. We need to understand how this was allowed to happen. The hollow cry of 'lessons must be learned' HAS to mean something.
