Interesting read Guy, hope you get where you want to be.

Could I suggest, if possible, that you flag in your post the urgent need to sign the letter referred to in the video?

Thank you, I'll add that to my reading list.

I wish I knew more of economics and political economy to understand it. From reading "The Invisible Doctrine" (Monbiot, Hutchison), I'd guess the politicians are in the grip of an ideology making their policy choices seem unavoidable.

s.480 in the Guidance on Article 10 of the ECHR - Freedom of Expression (rm.coe.int/guide-on-art...) arguably says that Article 10(2) obligates the state to protect Judges from unfounded attacks - misleadingly undermining the authority of the judiciary should be an offence.

Funny thing about getting older is how I can't remember last week, but 50 years ago seems like yesterday.

The judgement applied only to the interpretation of "woman" in the Equality Act, not its meaning in other statutes and certainly not as a guide to its meaning in policy.

The EHCR (and journalists) should read the judgement, not leap to unwarranted conclusions.
