Linzi Smith has won a considerable victory against the wholesale abandonment by the Northumbrian police of their crucial duty of impartiality - so what now?
You are right to be immensely proud of your work with Harry, and now Fair Cop, along with Linzi, have dealt a real blow to this stupid and dangerous ideology. Thank you for all you've done!
Tremendous result. About Stock's comments, she stated: "the tenets of gender ideology as being that each person has a gender identity which may or may not match the biological sex which is assigned to them at birth."
My question: when discussing the invented gender claims, why use the trans language? That's a capitulation, such as the usage of 'cis' appearing everywhere. Stock could have put quotes around 'assigned to them at birth' in order to show that the term is not accepted language usage but invented to serve an ideological purpose.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 However, these Public Sector Employers (& many Private Sector Employers too) are continuing to be captured, bullied & pander to TRAs - and despite the crystal clear Supreme Court Ruling in April 2025. And with regard to Sandi Peggy's ET for example, the case should be thrown out immediately on that basis. What an appalling waste of taxpayers money. And she will have been suspended on full-pay too for 18 months to date, which is another shocking waste of taxpayers money! There are so many 'GC related test cases' now, but the nonsense trundles on. And, on another matter, and despite the abhorrent Stephen Ireland sentence, Surrey Council continue to fund & support Surrey Pride and the organisation which he ran as CEO! And we're supposed to believe that others had no idea what was going on 🤷♀️ All of this 'gender' nonsense needs to end now.
I hope so too. I watch & read so much stuff on this subject that I can't remember who said this, but have a feeling it was something I read a few days ago on Graham Linegans substack.... but I may well be wrong so please don't quote me!! If I find the article I read I'll share it.
I have a recollection of Harry Miller and Lawrence Fox answering the door to police wearing rainbow lanyards, I think following an accusation of “transphobia”. Somewhat vaguely I remember Harry most emphatic the police were showing bias and therefore unfit to carry out their duty, now compromised through bias or something.
I remember a decade or more ago, Anjem Choudary insisted a police officer remove his Help for Heroes wristband, which he duly did under the eagle eye of a higher ranking officer.
Thank you for the exhaustive summary of this very important case. It touches on the very important issue of whether or not police services are acting and seen to be acting impartially or not. The impression often is that they are not acting with impartiality when they embrace some but not all sectors of the community equally.
We have all seen many images now of the police at these events wearing garish rainbow face paint and carrying rainbow garlands and other such bright, inclusive yet exclusive decorations.
My thoughts are that wearing and displaying these gaudy embellishments are one lick of Dulux paint and one tightly-fitting cerise-coloured corset away from parading around in drag.
Yes. That must be right. But even attending events on their own time they must be mindful of not being seen to participate in overtly political events.
Great work Sarah, Linzi Smith and Harry Miller.
Not all heroes wear capes.
This madness has to stop, this is a great victory for common sense.
Another win for justice and common sense.
You are right to be immensely proud of your work with Harry, and now Fair Cop, along with Linzi, have dealt a real blow to this stupid and dangerous ideology. Thank you for all you've done!
Excellent summary. Thank you.
Thanks for such a swift and excellent summary, Sarah.
What a result!
Have cross posted

Amazing Sarah. To you and Harry, thankyou. Xx

I thought she was using their words, not agreeing with them. They believe in ‘assigning’ gender, GCs believe in ‘recording observed sex’.
I see what you mean. I still wish she had used single quotes. My skin prickles at the language.
Wonderful news brilliantly explained. Thank you to all concerned for the application of yet another nail in the gender ideology coffin. 🤞
Huge congratulations to you all - this is a hugely important win. Thank you. Now to push it out through other public bodies.

My daughter works for Surrey CC and told me today that they’ve stopped all funding. I hope she’s right.

'Linehan' I meant .....predictive text always gets it's wrong 🙄

Fantastic summary, thank you. So glad my fears were unrealised!
Do you think Northumbria Police will (try to) appeal the judgment, and if so, any idea what ground(s) they might try?
I do hope so. It would be delicious. They have no grounds. But that won’t stop Jolyon.
Nodoubt! Narcissism on steroids!

“Performative inclusivity” - spot on! That paragraph sums up the whole sorry state of affairs. Thank you
Pride Fatigue.

'Chief Constable'.
Thank you, once again. Fascinating...
"...the police should be allowed to attend such events as long as they weren’t identifying themselves as police officers..."
Of course they should attend if they wish, but surely the key point is that they do not attend as representatives of the force OR on police paid time.
Yes. That must be right. But even attending events on their own time they must be mindful of not being seen to participate in overtly political events.
Fair comment, I agree.
