You don’t know how much this means to. me and all the others who have been bullied at Cambridge University
Give them hell. God knows they deserve it.
As I saw in a comment on a previous post: “when you have run out of cheeks to turn it is time to kick ass”.
Finally someone who is exposing their “oops I did it again” routine – we all know they retaliate against whistleblowers deliberately. It is systematic over many years, and they do this nonsense over and over, again and again. No more – full stop.
Thanks to everyone was has come to Bury St Edmunds
Judge has confirmed that life tweeting & blogging is possible.

Justice must be seen to be done in open public.
Freedom with their exception – quite an astonishing request for matters to be otherwise. I will leave it there while proceedings are underway.
Godspeed and best of luck.
Did anyone else have difficulties joining via CVP? Joined at 10 but got a weird screen.
Me too – use Chrome, it is less glitchy. Be sure to have microphone off. Also there was a delay in starting so just hold the line. You should get a voice saying waiting to start or something like that.
Please contact Watford ET: [email protected]
Ask for the Clerk at Bury St Edmunds to be informed urgently if the problem is persisting
It is 10.42 has it restarted? I am waiting again too.
It has restarted, just join again.
Does anyone actually have the bundle? Can someone keep written notes so all referenced documents can be requested from ET?
Not sure implying that it could ever be appropriate to [REDACTED] is great look
Let’s respect the jurisdiction of the panel on that. And keep comments here as short and descriptive as possible.
Professor, I am a whistleblower myself at another institution and I am following you. You are helping many of us with your courage. Win or lose, you already won the respect of many of us. Good luck. We understand that your wife is supporting you – spouses have a difficult but essential role – we wish her courage too.
Cross Examination PM – In the morning RS said [REDACTED]. It has been agreed to finish at 3:30pm. At 3:25pm she agrees on a break so she can ask two more questions.
The Witness Statements and the Bundle (this time split into smaller files) will be restored at 10.00 am tomorrow
Access is only available during Tribunal hours
Wyn is a hero who stands for us all.
So is the rule now that we cannot post even factual snippets on here? If so can someone please open a thread on the r/Cambridge thread on reddit so we can transition the conversation over there while the case is running?
You may publish factual snippets
Ok. Well then: “it would be easier if you relinquish control” is the message HR has been telling victims for years
“it would be easier if you relinquish control” – victimisation for whistleblowing.
So they try to question the “public interest” of the disclosure. This was
Victimisation seems to be the common denominator of many cases that involve HE.
They always trust that people will go away.
