I see the inside of my eyelids
I used to criticise the judiciary in countries with very poor civil liberties and human rights records, saying that judicial independence requires not only the separation of powers but also independence among judges themselves. I never imagined I would have to write this here.
I think it really would be helpful if there was a public explanation for this unusual decision, in this highly charged and important case. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"frank and honest" involves calling a 17 year old child a paedo and a "sissy porn addicted gooner" in court apparently
Briony Clarke now identify as a bent judge.
“she found Graham Linehan was a ‘generally credible witness’ and appeared to be ‘genuinely frank and honest’.”
“she found Graham Linehan was a ‘generally credible witness’ and appeared to be ‘genuinely frank and honest’.”
They keep fucking editing the article, but it's not any better. And this addition about why the judge referred to her as "them" is like a parody of impartiality

![An excerpt from the linked article that reads:
[The judge] explained that the prosecution used female pronouns to refer to the complainant during the trial, while Linehan's defence used male pronouns. The judge said she had chosen to refer to Brooks using "gender neutral pronouns and as 'the complainant'" in her ruling.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:umokacyt44veykd6qw5zokyi/bafkreifcuteahuy7btte3q77evxfatrh7ddbi676sw4squ6hrpshakcszm@jpeg)

What gets me about both the reporting and the judge's language is that even supposing "gender ideology" is some sort of religious belief, you would be more respectful of someone's religious belief than this. "..born Robert Prevost but now identifying as 'Pope Leo'".

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I remember the last cross-examination question was about whether Sophia had been arrested. It wasn’t revealed at the time it was literally the convicted bigot who SWATTED her.
Here's a thread from Twitter shared with Sophia's permission in which she finally is able to talk about Graham using the police as HIS personal goon squad and getting Sophia arrested at home by EIGHT armed police officers, somewhat putting the standard Heathrow armed cops in perspective.

I got a new bathroom scale because mine had been packed away during a house move. I couldn’t check my weight for six months. I’d noticed I looked noticeably chubbier than last year. So, I finally stepped on the new scale, and surprise, my weight hadn’t changed at all. Same old BMI 28.

Even in Corbett v Corbett, Ormrod LJ used 'she' for post-transition. Somehow, the judiciary was able to use our pronouns for decades without it creating any supposed appearance of bias, but now it routinely degenders and misgenders us. It's such transparent bigotry and/or cowardice.

Oh wow that’s fucked up.
Not just the press. The quote is from the judgment; the judge chose to refer to Sophia as "themself".

The prime minister and former director of public prosecution suggested that the vile bigot should not face criminal prosecution. If that is his view, then who are we to judge?
After all, the executive does have the prerogative to choose to withhold justice, doesn’t it?

I want to make a note on how none of this is biological or inescapable.
Most men are taught to be men by hearing "don't be a girl" yelled at them, by being praised for repressing their pain, for acting dominating. But anyone can choose to reject that, it's just most cis men find it too convenient.

I just had a Nat MP's post suggested on my fb feed and a real easy action you can take is asking how they feel comfortable letting their health minister breach BoRA and when they'll take a stand about it. You probably won't get a reply but they should be hounded.

![A framed, square artwork with a complex, symmetrical design resembling a high-end silk scarf, displayed against a dark blue wall. The artwork features a light turquoise background with a central square illustration of a sailing ship, a world map, and a crown. Radiating outward from the center are four figures: two depictions of Queen Victoria holding a scepter and two men in red military uniforms. The outer border is lined with detailed rectangular vignettes depicting scenes from the British Empire, including maps of India and Africa, the Taj Mahal, and illustrations of colonial labor and plantations. Above the artwork, faint text printed on the wall reads, "Fortunes have been made out of tea and rubber plantations, yet the villagers are left on the borderline of starvation [...] under British rule food crops are of secondary importance."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5kydynj3pme74rk5ynru3m6d/bafkreic4xq3sotnlxfulxgxbyc4yl7wlm2mq4yxegwf66j76n5hfpahdxu@jpeg)
