1/ Zack and pals are peddling the attack line “no jury convicted them of terrorism” to try to undermine the sentences in this case. Let me explain why this is fundamentally wrong. In a criminal trial the jury is the judge of the facts and the judge is the judge of the law. 2/ What that means for practical purposes is the jury decides whether they are sure beyond a reasonable doubt that the prosecution has proved its case and the Judge decides issues of law like what evidence is fair to go before them. Law also includes sentence.

1/ I went to Parliament to watch the Women and Equalities Committee. The chair of the EHRC Mary-Ann Stephenson (MAS) and CEO John Kirkpatrick were giving evidence, the other adults in the room were Rosie Duffield and Rebecca Paul MP. Other than that it was the slow kid's table. Image 2/ This is the committee chair Sarah Owen MP, she is EXTREMELY fair unless you're Rosie or Sarah when she'll look at Nadia Whittome and mutter. She also thinks intersex means people are neither male or female and didn't like it much when the chair of the EHRC corrected that. Image

1/ When trans activists aren't harassing lesbians, one of their preferred tactics is to silence gay men

One such gay man, Associate Professor Dr. Foran of Keble College, Oxford has just had to cancel a lecture series because some people go to university to shout and not to learn 2/ Associate Professor Foran is one of our foremost legal minds on the subject of sex and gender as it relates to equality law. He has a nationally significant mind and his work has been referenced in the UK Supreme Court by the Law Lords.

1/ Yet again, the BBC frame this issue as an emotive plea for personal liberty and understanding. This is legally illiterate and glosses over the fact that trans activists seek the complete destruction of the category of sex in law with all the implications that has. Such as... 2/ Women's prisons. Women's sports. Women's private spaces for the purposes of dignity, safety and security.

This has a knock on effect on gay and lesbian rights. If there's no coherent sex category in law, you can't have the same sex orientation protected characteristic.

1/ Transvestites have finally been told "no" today, and it's at least 10 year overdue. It's no surprise to any of us that the middle class sensibilities of the media want to focus on sad transvestites rather than raped women in shelters or autistic kids given puberty blockers. 2/ This extraordinary movement of men in dresses literally went to the supreme court and tried to render the gay/lesbian protected characteristic "meaningless" in the words of the law lords and ladies. They literally tried to get their rights by taking ours. Image

1/ Well, I've skimmed Giggle v Tickle and my conclusion is that the judgment is firmly in the category of being "a bit bloody silly". It is not normal to have Judges using activist language, but this judgment talks about cisgender and sex assigned at birth and the rest of it.... Image
Image 2/ What this case shows is that once you put "gender identity" into legislation you make it unlawful for people not to believe everyone has magic gender souls. That is a pretty extreme outcome and it's clear the case Forstater would have failed in Australia. Image

1/ Up until today it was unlawful for lesbians to have a lesbian only meeting in a publicly funded "pride centre" in Oz. That hasn't technically changed today as a matter of law, but the Federal Court has basically just said it bloody better change soon. By way of explainer... 2/ The LAG are up against Australia's EHRC, the Australian Human Rights Commission. What you need to know about the AHRC is that they are gender loons who always prefer the interests of transvestites over the rights of lesbians. All you need to know about LAG is they're tough.

1/ I'm getting a bit sick of "anonymous government sources" (ie Bridget Phillipson's SPADs) writing off For Women Scotland as "culture wars". Let us remember the Scottish Government in FWS literally tried to abolish the legal category of sex and sexual orientation. 2/ Had they prevailed, gays and lesbians would have lost the right to single sex associations under the Equality Act, furthermore, gay and lesbian as categories would effectively be rendered "meaningless" in law (to quote the law lords).

1/ Sen. Wiener cuts a haunted, panicked figure, like a man who's seen the ghost of Gender Future, but unlike Scrooge, there's no hope of some act of redemption or contrition. This is a man who prefers his collateral human damage to have no tongue, so he moves like a malfunction. 2/ The bitter harvest of gender, a crop Senator Scott did so much to bring about, was never going to be an easy or pretty affair for him. The shape of things to come was always going to be the innocent complaining of their own shapelessness. Cut to fit in to the point they do not

1/ Whether we like it or not, there is a shadow falling over Western discourse, the harbingers of this new "body as commodity" cult speak in honeyed words of "choice" and "autonomy" and "kindness", but lurking behind those terms is something unmistakably and viscerally dark. 2/ We are entering a phase of history where some people are deemed too broken, too troublesome, too old, too damaged and most importantly too inconvenient to possibly save. The days of enlightened and compassionate superintending of people in extremis are over in Span at least.

1/ Expect some fun and games on this one. “Gender identity” up to now in criminal law has only featured in sentencing when the messy business of proving a case beyond reasonable doubt is over. The Crown now have the burden of proving one exists and defining this theological term 2/ This was always a bad idea and arguably, even the elastic protected characteristic definition from the EA would have been a bit easier to use. The problem here is going to be precision, and the criminal standard of “beyond reasonable doubt” only makes this harder.

1/ It is rather galling to hear Lord Falconer and pals complain about the Lords scrutinising his dreadful bill and imply some sort of skullduggery is going on. This is a de facto government bill masquerading as a PMB in order to dampen down Labour opposition in the commons. 2/ A PMB was dishonestly selected as a vehicle because Starmer knew that would exclude MPs including some cabinet members debating the point and further it would exclude concerned unions had it been in the Labour manifesto. This is student politics on life and death.

1/ The Civil Service are to recruit a person with the all but explicit aim of subverting the judgment of the Supreme Court in FWS. No one who thinks the case was correctly decided need apply, no minister wants to hear someone prepared to say "no" to this over indulged ideology 2/ This is a soft form of corruption, the appointee will no doubt have a long history of subverting the law in the third sector. This is revolving door fraud, women and gays are screwed over by an unspoken elite consensus that judgments are there to be managed, not obeyed.

1/ The Gender war is a class war. Trans activism was confabulated in universities where they'd run out of things to say, it was embraced by the bourgeois management types in HR and it corrupts the same in everything from unions to blue chips. This didn't come from the streets. 2/ Trans activism is indulged and has no central heroic historical point of defiance, so it steals the gay rights claim to Stonewall because at its heart, it's dreadfully aware of just how powerful and privileged it is. It's still really the only cult that can get you sacked

1/ The Streeting experiment steadfastly ignores evidence from the Tavistock that 80-90% of the teens there were same sex attracted and around 30% autistic. The strength of feeling against this live experiment on vulnerable young people is expressed in sheer weight of numbers here 2/ There was a dark joke at the Tavistock "soon there will be no gay people left". It was obvious to staff that what was happening was wrong and obvious to them that around 90% who take PBs go on to cross sex hormones and sterility.

1/ This is what I mean by moral vanity. The very structure of the final sentence, that trans women are women, mitigates against the truth of that statement, being a public provocation and declaration of moral standing undermined by the fact of the two categories. 2/ What we see here is a public repudiation of evidence and the scientific method as applied to basic foundational truths necessary for the rational ordering of society. This is a declaration of luxurious bourgeois contempt for reason and a battle cry of the most hollow nature.

1/ The NCHI, much like the malicious comms offence, is an example of a piece of criminal justice architecture created in a pre digital world and exploited by ideologues in a digital one. Its continuance in the digital age is a story of inertia, quangos and lack of leadership. 2/ In the pre digital world, police forces were reeling from the McPhearson report into the murder of Stephen Lawrence. The met was found to be institutionally racist and the report recommended police monitor incidents short of criminal behaviour that might escalate.

1/ A finding that there is “no case to answer” is significant. This is a remedy that originates in the criminal division and it is tightly confined to cases where no properly directed jury could convict on the evidence. For a prosecution to fall at this stage is damning. 2/ This area is governed by the case of R v Galbraith, and the doctrine splits into two so called “limbs”. The first is where something essential is missing, like for example evidence of serious bodily harm which would be essential in a GBH.

1/ To the doomsayers warning "don't attack the BBC, you will miss it when it is gone", I say this. It has been gone for me for years. It deplatformed my friends, it called me a bigot, it produced a gay male dating show featuring a woman. I will miss nothing of that when it goes. 2/ In LGBTWTFLOL politics we have this term, "forced teaming", it means conflating the political cases of homosexuals with transvestites. I will not be "forced teamed" again and be told I must shut up for the sake of my national broadcaster for some nostalgic love.

1/ I find this very difficult to accept as a justification for demonstrable BBC bias over gender and I think it underplays the role of fear of cancellation in favour of good faith. What I would say is this, in the first place, journalists accepting orthodoxy is terrifying. 2/ Second, I would say that accepting orthodoxy at a time when the Times newspaper was reporting that staff at the Tavistock had a dark joke that "soon there will be no gay people left" is particularly alarming because accepting orthodoxy here means ignoring or supressing critics

1/ In 2016 the Supreme Court ruled in a criminal case called R v Jogee. The law lords ruled that the law of murder had “taken a wrong turn” and too many had been wrongly convicted on the “joint enterprise” doctrine. Practice in the Crown Court changed the very next day. 2/ There was no guidance on the matter before it was expected to be applied (guidance did follow, but on the basis this had been the law since the time of the judgment) and there was certainly no impact assessment or that sort of thing. The law was the law.
