@goodmorningbritain.bsky.social why use forstater: In SC Case Lady Haldane ruled that forsthater evidence was inadmissible as expert testimony. she did not possess the necessary impartiality or specific academic/professional credentials required of an expert witness in court.

Anna was hilarious, I'll have what she's on 😂 Trump is dangerous with his constant legal bullying, and the BBC should stand up to him and frankly all journalists should be behind the BBC @lbc.co.uk @iaindale.bsky.social

So @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social why should we listen to a failed government minister abt anything, especially when her car boot sale government slashed EVERY public service and decimated our society! #Hypocritical #McVey #failed #tories

Why are you @bbcnewsi.bsky.social "sanewashing" Trump’s Davos speech? We saw years of scrutiny on Biden’s age, but a rambling, inaccurate tirade from an adjudicated rapist is covered with a straight face. The public deserves better than this false equivalence.

Mr Kwartang, SM is not the same as smoking. SM has positives not just negatives, what should happen imo, is hold the likes of musk to account for the vile content they pump out. @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social

Why the hell are you @bbcnewsi.bsky.social saying "death duty" when referring to inheritance tax. It's extremely loaded (& incorrect) terminology. We could as easily say tax on windfall... but we dont. Try to be impartial, it's Inheritance Tax! #bbcrightwingbias

Ban it! @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social I was unfortunate enough to be camping when these blood thirsty killers rampaged across the countryside. Their dogs were worrying everything with a pulse, I feared for my own safety #evil

Forcedhater and Joyce are merely grifters pumping an ideology founded in hate. There is nothing feminist about them.
mimmymum.bsky.social Helen 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏻💕 @mimmymum.bsky.social · Dec 9
Remember when Helen Joyce was called out as "not an expert" by Australian courts - Now Maya Forstater has been told the same in the Peggie judgment! 👏👏👏

The judgement states outright that the evidence submitted by her & Sex Matters was “not skilled evidence.”

This is the Tribunal’s exact wording!
Highlighted paragraph: Evidence from Ms Forstater and Mx Valentine 1038. We turn to address the evidence from Ms Forstater and Mx Valentine, which the parties had described as “research evidence”. That is not, so far as we are aware, a term of law. Nothing was cited to support the use of that term. It is not skilled evidence as explained below, and the parties did not suggest that either witness was skilled or expert in that sense. It was not necessarily inadmissible, given the terms of Rule 41, and until read and considered the extent to which it might be relevant could not be assessed, but the weight to attach to it was a different consideration Highlighted sections: 1040. In many respects the evidence in the statements was more in the nature of material for the public debate on wider issues as to what the law should be, and on occasion it appeared to us to be polemic, rather than evidence relevant to the issues at an Employment Tribunal. 1041. Opinion evidence was addressed in Walker and Walker on Evidence, Fifth Edition (“Walker”), which explained the distinction between evidence of fact, and of belief or opinion. Opinion evidence may be led from what Walker describes as an ordinary witness (the classification of witnesses is between ordinary and skilled), and examples of that are given. Ms Forstater 1042. The statement from Ms Forstater was not presented as impartial evidence, but specifically as one given in support of the claimant. It had at paragraph 10 an argument as to facts, of which Ms Forstater said that she was certain. They are however we consider not facts, but expressions of her opinion. The assertion at 10 (b) for example was “Sex is in general readily perceptible and is salient to other people.” That we consider cannot be other than her opinion, for which no support from any document in the Supplementary Bundle appeared to be referred to in her written witness statement. It was contradicted by other evidence, and the terms of a Note issued by EJ Tinnion on 5 January 2025 in relation to the second respondent. It did not appear to be an assertion related to the second respondent in particular, but as a more general proposition. 1043. The assertion at (d) had a further series of propositions which were opinions although presented as facts. If the 1992 Regulations, then as discussed they are not within this Tribunal’s jurisdiction, and the comment appears to be an argument over the policy of the law, or how the law should be interpreted, neither of which are relevant evidence before us. 1044. The sub-paragraphs include, by way of example, (ii) “women are in general more fearful of men than men … Highlighted sections: That is again an expression of opinion without cross reference to any document in the Supplementary Bundle. Sub-paragraph (v) was “unless rules about single-sex spaces are clearly stated and enforced it leaves women open to risk of sexual harassment and assault, and makes these spaces feel unsafe.” That again is an expression of opinion. The witness statement purports to expand on the comments at paragraph 10 stating that the facts stated are true. In our view they are not reliable as evidence from a person not a skilled witness on the propositions that are advanced. 1045. Where there was reference to documentation it is in our view both partial and incomplete. Part of it is based on research undertaken by Sex Matters, an organisation of which she is the Chief Executive Officer. It is a campaigning organisation, as set out in paragraph 4. There is an obvious risk that that research is impacted by the nature of it, which is not suggested to be an independent academic study .... In our view it would not be dealing with a case fairly or justly to rely on expressions of opinion from a person campaigning on one side of the argument on such an issue. We did not consider that the case of Connor on which the claimant founded, cited above and which indicated that in some situations evidence which was not expert in nature could be sufficient, was applicable to such a matter. 1047. Our review of the literature referred to by Ms Forstater reveals that the broad generalisations she seeks to take from it are not sufficiently supported by the document or document founded on, both from the terms of the document and the other documents in relation to the same broad issue, to be treated as reliable evidence.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.

What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

It says a lot when Russia, US Red States and other authoritarian regimes agree with a policy. My country will stand with the above if they adopt this exclusionary anti woman ehrc guidance.

Well @lbc.co.uk #nickferrari I'm an atheist, yet in my job I'd engage with Jennifer, despite me seeing the damage her belief in an imaginary goblin in the sky does to society. it's called empathy and professionalism. I'd also have issued proceedings against the patient for racism both #bigots

#lbc @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social response is plain silly by going circular argument; because the dictionary also says " a person who identifies as a woman" and has done so for centuries. The phrase
"AHF" as a response is a political slogan and is used with insidious intent.
