Free speech victory as woman wins legal fight after suspension for trans views | UK

The social worker was sanctioned by Social Work England and subsequently suspended by Westminster City Council for gross misconduct.

Council chiefs also launched a disciplinary investigation and warned she could be sacked for misconduct.

Meade received a final written warning after her suspension.

She claimed she was “bullied into silence” when trying to “speak up for women’s rights”.

The posts were mostly made during the Government’s consultation period on the reform to the Gender Recognition Act.

A 51-page judgment declared Meade’s Facebook posts fell “within her protected rights for freedom of thought and freedom to manifest her beliefs”.
