Congrats to British transphobia on successfully getting far-right beliefs protected by the legal system by making the bar for "worthy of respect" so low the devil could dance over it
A District Judge has cleared Tommy Robinson on a terror charge because he found Robinson had a protected belief. How does that pass the 5th limb of the Grainger test?
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...
www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...
![Grainger criteria
To qualify as a 'philosophical belief' under the Equality Act, the belief must satisfy the five criteria set out at para 24 in Grainger plc v Nicholson [2010] and mirrored in the Equality and Human Rights Commission Code of Practice 2011. These are that:
The belief must be genuinely held
The belief must not simply be an opinion or viewpoint based on the present state of information available
The belief must concern a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour
The belief must attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance
The belief must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, not be incompatible with human dignity and not be in conflict with the fundamental rights of others.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:noqaydlcbia5upq6va2p2znw/bafkreidbknxirxpcidqg6kgd7ejugwdwzncsxcm7foh6wxc5rf5qbs6pny@jpeg)

Again, for those at the back: parties advocating the mass deportation of millions of people legally resident in the UK, as well as the abolition of human rights for all UK residents, are at a combined 50%+ in the opinion polls. The electorate of no other European democracy is as extreme as this.
James is correct.
The Tories have simply copied Reform's deportation policy for *legal* permanent residents (of the wrong colour..)
(NB the numbers would not be remotely as large as James says because most of those with ILR do get citizenship).

The only difference is they’re proposing £38,700 as the threshold not £60,000. So basically they’re proposing to deport 2 million legal immigrants not 3 million (I haven’t checked the exact earnings breakdown so these are estimates). Still a really extremist far right position.
