ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.

The biggest threat in history to United States National Security would be a negative decision on Tariffs by the U.S. Supreme Court. We would be financially defenseless. Now Europe is going to Tariffs against China, as they already do against others. We would not be allowed to do what others already do!

 So far as her other comments are concerned, they were impermissible manifestations of her belief and were in our view what amounted to an incident of harassment by the claimant of the second respondent related to the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, reasonably perceived by the second respondent to be so, and were a breach by the claimant of section 26 of the Act and of the Bullying and Harassment Policy. The second respondent was entitled to view the actions of the claimant in those particular regards as being such harassment, or as a โ€œhate incidentโ€ within the policy, and the first respondent was entitled in principle to act on the complaint made, but the detail of how it did so depends on all the circumstances as more fully addressed below. The second respondent was also entitled to regard the claimantโ€™s actions as a breach of the second respondentโ€™s Article 8 rights, so far as the claimantโ€™s expression of her beliefs was impermissible.

1034. We also considered that the claimant had acted deliberately to be able to challenge the second respondent whilst they were alone. What she did was to wait until other members of staff had left the changing room, and for the second respondent to leave the cubicle, before raising her own beliefs directly with the second respondent in the manner we have set out.  1035. Whilst the claimant had not been informed as promptly and in the detail we considered appropriate, and the first respondent did not consider whether to revoke permission at all, the claimant did not herself raise any formal grievance under the policy. She is an experienced member of staff who had access to union advice. She knew, or ought reasonably to have known, that the first respondent having granted permission to the second respondent she required to have raised her concerns with the first respondent as the decision-maker rather than with the colleague to whom it had been granted, and in any event ought not to have done so in the manner that she did.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.

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 โ€œresearch evidenceโ€. 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 (โ€œWalkerโ€), 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 โ€œSex is in general readily
perceptible and is salient to other people.โ€ 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 Tribunalโ€™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) โ€œwomen are in
general more fearful of men than men โ€ฆ

That is again an expression of opinion without cross reference to any
document in the Supplementary Bundle. Sub-paragraph (v) was โ€œunless
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.โ€ 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.

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! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

The judgement states outright that the evidence submitted by her & Sex Matters was โ€œnot skilled evidence.โ€
