Trevor gives a rundown on what happened in court.
In this episode of 'The Iron Fist and the Velvet Glove' podcast, the host reflects on a significant day involving a court case concerning their application for religious instruction lessons. Despite feeling mentally drained from a long day of court proceedings and media interviews, the host shares insights into the trial's events and their personal challenges navigating the legal system with limited experience. The case centers on the government's rejection of their application, which they argue lacks valid reasons, and their quest for a declaration affirming their status as a religious denominational society. Through detailed accounts of the cross-examination, submissions, and verbal arguments, the host expresses a mix of disappointment and hope regarding the outcome. They also touch upon the broader implications of their struggle, including potential government reactions to a win or loss, and the ongoing fight for secular state schools. The episode culminates in a candid discussion about future steps and the support from the secular community throughout this journey.
