  1. Absolutely, @simon_brooke. The #UKSC inverted reality, and stripped rights that parliament had clearly intended to confer.

    That could have been done honestly by Parliament. It could have voted to clarify definitions either way, and it could still do so. A simple amendment could undo the #FWS judgment.

    But my meta point is that both with Andrew and with #trans people, UK law was simply pulled out of a conjurer's hat, then solemnised as if it was ancient. The "#BritishConstitution" is a farce.
