The nurse is the complainant. Dr Upton and NHS Fife are the Respondents (β‰ˆ defendants). The question is whether they broke employment law and the nurse is due compensation.

USAID Kept My Troops Safe in Afghanistan If not for American aid, we would have faced more enemies and won fewer friends.

"People who like to sound tough reflexively back the guys with guns over the guys in jeans with sacks of grain or the guys in suits with papers. But take it from someone who spent nearly 1,500 days downrange over the course of 20 years: USAID is worth every penny." www.thebulwark.com/p/usaid-kept...

It’s a very specific form of civil action, known as an β€˜employment tribunal’, not β€˜trial’ Upton & NHS Fife may have to pay compensation to the complainant, Sandie Peggie.

Not exactly. Dr Upton is one of two Respondents (the other is NHS Fife) in an employment tribunal. It’s a civil case, not a criminal case.

Dr Upton IS a respondent in the tribunal. It’s not a trial, though.

Sustainability requires that unspeakable (by governments & political parties) phenomenon β€˜redistribution of wealth’. So far, the LP is speaking in code: β€˜working people’. I’m waiting to see what they mean by β€˜growth’.

We bat eyes or eyelashes in England. Or rather we *don’t* bat an eye (it’s always negative) and we do bat our eyelashes (when flirting)

Almost every human (and, apparently, ape and monkey) have a sense of Justice and struggles against injustice. I think feminism emerges naturally from that instinct and our powers of observation.

Working on different groups but only on the things you agree with is what ultimately creates social movements. And your prior positive contact makes them more able to switch to your position when light dawns.

Because Trade Unions prioritise IDPol over working conditions, etc too. And the number of women in TUs is in sharp decline.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.
