Jolyon is once again spinning victory from defeat. Here’s what the loser lawyer had to say after his appeal was comprehensively dismissed:

“We are pleased both members of the Panel agreed that LGB Alliance had “gone beyond the boundaries of civilised debate” and that one would not have registered LGB Alliance as a charity if Mermaids did have standing. We are also pleased it has recognised that the Charity Commission must do more to monitor LGB Alliance’s activities.”
