This was the best "this you?" moment I read in a while.

On a side note, can anybody fill me in on the LGB alliance? I have been out of the loop for a while, what's going on, are they finally having the trial about the charitable status?

I believe this is about Allison Bailey's lawsuit against Stonewall. From what I know she was fired from her job a few years ago due to Stonewall's meddling.

Technically not fired-- she is self-employed, and belongs to this association of other self-employed legal professionals. But yes, some TRAs were trying to get her kicked out of it.

Where Stonewall comes in is, Stonewall has/had a close relationship with people in Allison's legal association (Garden Court Chambers), and people close to Stonewall were the ones pressuring her workplace to take action against her.

Disclaimer: IANAL, someone correct me if I've made a mistake, I've just been following the court case at Tribunal Tweets.
