Not sure what two-bit joint this is, but that fork is definitely on the wrong side.

If only you took your inspiration from my favourite Kaiser Chiefs song

I’m already reducing my international aid as a result. No more free advice on cross-border transfers.

You’ve certainly interfered with my enjoyment through your “joke”. You epitomise nuisance by your deeds.

I’m resigned to such comments from you.

I once lost a case in the EAT on a not too dissimilar point.

It’s getting better at this, isn’t it? Though it’s interesting that it didn’t seek to analyse how Underhill sought to explain Page or the s13 v s.19 debate. Perhaps that requires wider knowledge to be fed into it.

If anyone has, it'll be @daznewman.bsky.social (though he's been eerily quiet on here recently).

It’s like when Matrix did that case about my mate Rick’s May tricks.

I think I can pretty much guarantee I'd delight you then! This sounds like a great podcast series.

Not sure you can claim the repeat brief fee on this one.

5/ Anyway, those are my inelegant musings. Alas I lack the time at present to be more elegant, but look forward to reading more considered analysis of the judgment from wiser minds.

4/ Maybe that's as it should be. But it feels to me that the Higgs test leads to such contortions & places individuals at greater risk of liability for discrimination for manifestations of belief than any other area of direct discrimination. I struggle to understand why that should be the case.

3/ It's difficult, following the messaging in Higgs, to see in what circumstances an employer can confidently dismiss someone for objectionable manifestation outside of proselytisation. It'll take a heck of a lot now to persuade an ET dismissal was proportionate.

2/ ...given Laing LJ's refusal of permission for the cross-appeal from the EAT decision.
Even after being bound by Page, I was surprised that the CA allowed the appeal & substituted judgment that the dismissal was discrim rather than remitting to the ET. There was surely enough to send it back.

Create a list of those you really want to follow (I have an employment lawyer list) as against those who regularly retweet hot takes, and set your feed to that feed. Or just unfollow those who endlessly retweet.

How about Human Rights at Work: Reimagining Employment Law by @thebigbogg.bsky.social @vmantouvalou.bsky.social, Hugh Collins and ACL Davies?

Absolutely. And that these things do so often pass without challenge.

I've somehow managed to get through like so far without being a direct victim of antisemitism (if you exclude indirect events like false bomb threats at my primary school), but it does make you wonder just how much anti-Jewish racism goes on outside of our earshot.

Ish would prefer the 10 duck-sized horses. He’ll choose the meekest one, hop on and ride it off into the sunset.

19/ As a final observation it's noteworthy that this case was heard by the English ET President, Judge Barry Clarke, sitting in the EAT in Edinburgh, handing down judgment days before the 1st Scottish EAT President took over. Can we pretend to extrapolate something from this?

18/ It was perverse to award G injury to feelings in the middle band. On invitation by the parties to substitute its own assessment, the EAT substituted an award of £2,000 plus interest.
