We really need that inquiry.
Just over a week ago, we launched our letter to @RishiSunak, demanding a Public Inquiry into the infiltration of gender ideology. Here’s the updated version of the letter and signatories. While we wait for a response, please keep the pressure on (including writing to your MP).
@SibylWrites @SVPhillimore @OpenUniversity I actually mentioned Kafka's Trial in the disciplinary investigation, when the investigator wouldn't tell me the accusation against which I was to defend myself. He had complaints from 6 @OU_Law managers, but wouldn't share them, nor tell me what they said, nor who complained.
Rachel Meade was bullied into agreeing she was 'bad', in line with every authoritarian oppressive regime in history. If she had not complied, she would have lost her job; she was her family's only breadwinner. Thanks to the ruling in Forstater and her own resilience, she was…
@Dave_J_Bryant @SVPhillimore @MForstater @_ShaziaKhan No, she's a Social Worker who's put on record that she LIED in an official statement, Social Work relies on the fact that the reports are accurate in order that the right decisions are made, you can no longer say that her reports can be trusted
If Social Work England was advised by any lawyer that it was in a strong position to defend Rachel Meade's claim, it really should be considering its choice of lawyer. The sheer incompetence and wrongheadedness such advice would display. And other employers should avoid going…
@HJoyceGender I agree. It's a colossal deal, and would have been apparent to any competent employment lawyer. In fairness though, it's entirely possible that all of their lawyers did advise them in those terms. We can't infer glaring incompetence from the fact that SWE contested Rachel's claim
Call for evidence: please spread the word 👇

"All that matters is reducing emissions". This is not caring about your country or the enviroment, it's just being a fanatic.
"Net Zero" critics have been dismissed as "culture warriors" by Chris Stark, the government's outgoing climate chief. The senior public servant, who has previously been accused of data obfuscation, said "all that matters" is reducing emissions. freespeechunion.org/government-cli…
This should not be happening. Particularly not now, when employers have no excuse.
