Pro-censorship campaigners Stop Funding Hate have teamed up the fox beaters at the Good Law Project for their latest swing-and-a-miss at GB News. It’s an embarrassing one…
The pair joined ranks and rallied their loony troops for a protest against Burberry – and what did the fashion brand do? Advertised on the People’s Channel…
Alas, only five loyal activists turned up. Two seemed to have dropped into the costume shop on the way and showed up at the store wearing plastic helmets. Tin foil one would have been more appropriate…
Maugham’s group, the Good Law Project, then took to X to ask its militant following to tag Burberry in the post’s comments in a last ditch bid to garner the clothing brand’s attention.Guido has taken a look for you, and at present of the hundred-plus comments, a grand total of four have heeded their groups’ call to bleat at Burberry. The others rallying in support of Burberry’s decision to join those backing the now fourth largest media outlet in the UK…
The four-legged-animal-beater-in-chief is still banging on over at less visited social platform Bluesky – the failing X copycat for lefties who couldn’t stand Musk’s reign. Jolyon’s Bluesky bio urges followers to “fight the power,” rather than uhh, fight the foxes…
In response to news that the Scottish Parliament – in line with the recent Supreme Court judgement – will designate male or female facilities by biological sex, Maugham posted: “Everyone’s getting sued. A huge bonus for lawyers – and a massive deadweight on the economy.” It’s also good news for the Good Law Project…
Jolyon’s crowdfunder to flap at the Supreme Court’s Equalities Act ruling has already racked up a cool £400,000 – despite precisely zero prospect of the challenge having any success. And this despite their last nine crowdfunded cases having lost…
Jolyon has himself implied defeat is on the way: “we must also point out that the Supreme Court has revealed a readiness on the part of our courts to disapply, in the case of trans people, normal legal and procedural safeguards.” The kimono-d KC rounded off his incensed rant over on X by declaring that “every anti-abortionist is also a transphobe.” The money keeps pouring in for this time-wasting lawfare…
In January Guido reported on Jolyon Maugham’s bizarre campaign backing a Judicial Review against the Charity Commission, which had refused to retract the conclusions of its report into the (now defunct) disgraced charity Kids Company. The judgment is out and it’s bad news for Jolyon as the High Court “dismisses” his challenge on all but two minor points…
Those two points relate to:
- A list of 25 special Kids Company clients who between them were given hundreds of thousands of pounds tax-free by Kids Company in 2014. The High Court has in effect concluded that this was acceptable. An odd decision given reporting at the time showed that some of these 25 supposedly vulnerable and needy Kids Company “clients” were simultaneously Kids Company employees…
- The second point concerns Kids Company’s cash reserves. The ruling finds “the implication [in the Charity Commission’s report] that if the trustees had not made a decision to operate with a low level of reserves they might have been able to save the charity from insolvency” to be irrational. The judgment concurrently points out that Kids Company failed to hold adequate reserves despite warnings from auditors…
The Charity Commission has put out a punchy statement this afternoon which confirms it is “clear that the overall findings of our report were not ‘irrational.’” It said the “High Court judgment has upheld our finding of mismanagement of the charity’s finances and has confirmed that it was based on “ample evidence.'” It adds “firmly rejected allegations we predetermined the outcome of the inquiry, stating the threshold for this was ‘not met in this case by a wide margin.’“ That won’t stop the fox-beater…
Despite the action being dismissed on all but these two points, Jolyon is still claiming his Good Law Project has “won” its case against the Charity Commission. Things work differently on Planet Jolyon…
Jolyon has not been able to contain himself since the Supreme Court ruled that biological sex trumps ‘gender identity’ under the auspices of the Equality Act. He is looking increasingly haggard…
The Good Law Project has finally fired up the grift engine and is today soliciting donations for a case against the ruling. Jolyon’s central bizarre argument is that because he failed to have the Supreme Court hear representations from his trans activists during the course of the case the judges are “oblivious” to the Gender Recognition Act. Open your wallets folks…
Jolyon’s outfit argues that “Labour’s policy” will treat trans people similarly to the Nazis and the UK is “now in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act and the European Convention of Human Rights.” Accompanied by an interesting claim:
“The Nazis forced the LGBT+ community to identify themselves as ‘degenerates’ by wearing pink triangles. Labour’s policy means that for trans people to move through the public sphere they will need, similarly, to identify themselves as trans in an increasingly violent and transphobic world.”
With a “legal team involving several KCs and at least one trans barrister” Jolyon will challenge equalities Bridget Phillipson via the High Court. Thank God he has an “unblemished professional record“…
Interestingly the crowdfunder admits the case is likely doomed before it has begun: “We believe the legal arguments are strong – but we must also point out that the Supreme Court has revealed a readiness on the part of our courts to disapply, in the case of trans people, normal legal and procedural safeguards.” Good to get that in early…
Jolyon is having a difficult time after the ruling of the Supreme Court that the meaning of woman in the Equality Act is a biological female. At 7 a.m. today the fox-killer told his dedicated Bluesky followers that the judgement would side with the Scottish government. He added that despite his optimism the Good Law Project had “backed an intervention so trans people were before the Supreme Court” which was rejected by the court. Another loss…
Since the judgement Jolyon has been struggling: “Having excluded all trans people from proceedings before it, the Supreme Court decides in favour of For Some Women Scotland… I’m genuinely stunned. I spoke to KCs at three leading sets of chambers with deep specialisations in equalities law. Each of them told me that For Women Scotland’s position was not even arguable.” Perhaps Jolyon should let consumers know who these expert KCs are…
The new line is that because the Good Law Project failed to secure “representation” for trans activists in the case, the judges ruled against them. Outfoxed again…
The arch fox-beater is at it again. Jolyon Maugham has launched yet another new legal action (he currently has six fundraisers open) – this time against a law firm called Morrison Foerster. Jolyon claims the firm “reversed” a decision to act for an individual “in a case about protecting trans people”. And whom does the chief Kimono-opener blame for this decision by a private law firm in the UK? President Trump of course…
Jolyon crows: “Trump’s actions ripple beyond the United States border. US companies are backtracking in the UK on their commitments to tackling the climate crisis. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority has abandoned plans to require banks and financial firms to set diversity targets for women and ethnic minorities. A number of UK law firms are, on instructions, expunging references to climate actions from their clients’ annual reports, putting UK legal reporting requirements in jeopardy. And US-based philanthropic foundations are withdrawing funding for UK projects supporting especially disadvantaged communities.” All of which sounds great to Guido…
You’d be forgiven for wondering if this latest case may meet the same fate as his previous lawfare attempts. President Trump is living rent free inside Jolyon’s head…
Speaking at his speech on how to achieve “progressive capitalism” Wes Streeting fired a dig and Andy Burnham:
“Bond markets are not bond villains and fiscal rules matter.”
