PODCAST – FOI & Find Out

On this, rather delayed episode (sorry about that), Alyx and Ashleigh go through the details of: 

• Graham Linehan’s legal tussles and the mainstream press’s reaction to them. Spoiler alert: there was a lot of stuff they left out of their coverage…
• Physical copies of EHRC consultation responses delivered to equalities minister, which took up ten folders.
• More fun & games from the Sandie Peggie tribunal.
• Regular segments Loser’s Corner and Pond Hoppin’.
• An interview with Brittany, a member of TACC, about the work they do and how YOU can pitch in to help them.
