A reader’s letter in response to the book review of Zoë Playdon’s “The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes”, has now been published by @TheTLS, & it is devastating criticism both of the book, but also of @christineburns the reviewer, and, implicitly, The Times Literary Supplement too. 1. The letter from W.H. Amos accurately describes Zoë Playdon’s book as a “tendentious melange, consisting of misrepresentation[s]..for political & ideological ends..” & that @christineburns failed “to challenge Playdon’s narrative when the facts are on public record is bizarre”. 2.

Not a good day for @lawsocgazette to publish Luke Williams’ credulous review of Zoë Playdon’s propaganda book “The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes”.

“I would previously have said I have a good working knowledge of our history & the main legal authorities.” 1.

lawgazette.co.uk/reviews/ground… Mr Williams appears to be unaware of the voluminous twitter threads questioning the veracity of claims made in the book. And he’s been most unlucky with timing. 2.

There’s a problem with Adam’s podcast conversation with Christine Burns. Why? Christine Burns MBE is a prominent trans rights activist, Adam is a barrister specialising in human rights. That sounds like a good match. And it’s his podcast. So, what’s the problem? 1. Here is a transcript of a short section [3 minutes 46 seconds] of this long conversation of some 86 minutes duration. Note the sentence in bold. From the context, Ms Burns is referring not to all “people”, but to “trans people”. 2.

If the BBC “aim[s] for coverage to be accurate and informative”, it’s journalists must be sceptical, authoritative & properly prepared for their assignments. It’s unlikely that Naomi Wolf’s “Outrages” would have been exposed had Mr Rajan interviewed Wolf & not @DrMatthewSweet. 1. Image “The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes”, is a more complex challenge. Not only is it bad scholarship being “used as fodder for a conspiracy theory”, it’s motivated by activism, with propagandist & mythologising intent. The evidence for that is found in the following tweet...2.

It’s now beyond doubt that substantial claims made by @zoeplaydon in “The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes” in history, law, medicine & biology are false - fabricated claims about sex, birth certificate “correction”, the hiding of precedent & an establishment cover up. @OliverKamm 1. Image This is a book endorsed by Helena Kennedy QC as: “A landmark work of history, law and social change”. We can be confident she has not scrutinised it’s contents. And we can go further: It’s highly doubtful she’s even read the book. Her endorsement is damaging to her reputation. 2. Image

This thread is about @zoeplaydon’s “The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes” [Bloomsbury Publishing PLC ISBN-13: 9781526619136 HB & in other formats] & argues that it should be withdrawn from sale by @BloomsburyBooks pending a review by appropriately qualified legal & science experts. 1. In the alternative, the same review, I contend, should be instigated by Bloomsbury while allowing the book to remain on sale, and a decision whether or not to withdraw it made following the review. 2.

This long thread is a commentary on the Mail’s commentary on the case. It doesn’t address the evidential basis of Mrs Jackson’s claim that she was coercively controlled by her husband. What evidence did the jury hear? What evidence is available that the jury didn’t hear? 1. We do know that numerous witnesses drawn from a pool of family & friends with intimate knowledge of the couple over many years offered testimony with no support whatsoever for Mrs Jackson’s claims. They say she was “gregarious”, “sociable” & active, not isolated & withdrawn. 2.

May I gently suggest that well intentioned domestic violence campaigners who have provided swift hot takes from the David Jackson murder case that the judge, jury & justice system itself have let down Penelope Jackson, take some time to reflect on the matter more carefully? 1. That Mrs Jackson (convicted of her fourth husband’s murder & sentenced to a minimum term of 18 years in prison) has a story even somewhat equivalent to Sally Challen (who was defended by the same QC in her appeal) appears unsupported by the evidence we are aware of. 2.

The leader of the opposition is supporting the rule of law, you haven’t been arrested & Starmer hasn’t called for you to be.

It’s an investigation of a possible breach of Sec 22 Public Order Act 1986, passed by a conservative government, scrutinised by a sovereign Parliament. 1. Here is the relevant legislation. You are caught by it because you are identified by (2) (a) and (b). 2.
