💥We’ve applied for permission to appeal in our Hampstead Ponds case. The High Court refused our claim on procedural grounds, and we think it got the law wrong.
We’re appealing because clarity on single-sex services matters.

@hughlaurie is a truly wonderful man! The abuse he is currently receiving from extremists on both sides is unforgivable. He is mourning a friend, and people are choosing to accuse of hatred because of that. To all those people: fuck off!
Dana Eden, who co-created and produced ‘Tehran’, died on Sunday, seemingly by her own hand. It’s a terrible thing. She was brilliant, and funny, and an exceptional leader. Love and condolences to all who knew her.
Actor Hugh Laurie is being accosted on Twitter because of this post, where he mourned the loss of his friend Dana Eden.
Why? Because Dana Eden was Israeli. And don’t you know—Israelis aren’t actually human beings and only deserve scorn and hate?
Yeah. This is what we mean when we say Israelis have been totally dehumanized. Showing empathy toward people from Israel is now treated as if it were a crime.
The backlash was so intense that Hugh felt compelled to post a follow-up tweet saying he’s not a Zionist, as if believing the Jewish people deserve to live safely in their homeland were some kind of unforgivable offense.
Mourning his friend should not be a political debate.
@ZackPolanski One of these people hit a police officer with a sledgehammer, fracturing her back, and you don't think they should be punished? What the fuck is wrong with you?! That's not protest, that's grievous bodily harm.
@Nigel_Farage Nigel, you're an elected MP, you should be in the UK representing the will of your constituency, not going over to America and supporting a fascist bastard like Donald Trump!
We’re trying to get as many followers as Nigel Farage so we can show those who want to privatise the NHS just how many people are prepared to fight against it.

@NorbertElikes @NoContextHumans Enrico Fermi is credited for leading the development of nuclear power. He was born an Italian and only later became an American citizen.
So the only things on that list that were actually invented by Americans are the aeroplane and air conditioning.;

@NorbertElikes @NoContextHumans The first internal combustion engine powered car was invented by Karl Friedrich Benz, a German.
Humphry Davy, a Brit, created the first lightbulb, not Edison.
