Munroe - Childline 's first LGBT+ campaigner.

I dunno if it’s actually sinister (James seems quite nice) or just a total clusterfuck caused by disorganised management and spectacularly shit vetting?

Either way, it’s bad for vulnerable kids.

And Owen Jones is just drawing attention to stuff that does Bergdorf no good at all.

What the actual??? Did NSPCC drop Munroe because there are staff that could be exposed?

I don't think it's quite this much of a conspiracy. As far as I can see, what Rubber Man is up to is entirely between consenting adults. However, there does seem to be an astonishing lack of safeguarding awareness if 150 staff have signed a letter berating their own employer (a children's charity) for dropping Bergdorf.

Saying that, having seen what is coming out about all these big charities in terms of sex abuse scandals, I really wouldnt be surprised at anything any more.

Is it wrong to feel entirely defeated?

This is erm very disturbing

Wtaf is going on with the nspcc.
What has happened to a charity that is meant to be supporting children and suddenly this all comes out

Hard to believe what I am reading

From DSM 5:

There are some interesting reviews by former employees of NSPCC.
Worth noticing comments by experienced Social Workers.

Just read that blog post of James Makings. It's actually quite sweet really, but then just seems so odd against the backdrop of a rubber fetish! Like, do we need to know about the rubber fetish bit?

I can’t believe what I’m reading here - except of course it’s all referenced with screen shots which would indicate it’s true

The link to the blog with the fetish men picture is on Mr Makings Linked in account:

Just click the text I have circled on the screenshot. It’s the second most recent post. I didn’t look any further back.

If it turns out to be the same James, of course. If it does...that's really bad.

I can't believe Owen Jones let that go to print. Either he's a secret agent, or HE doesn't understand or care about safeguarding of children either.

As for James from the NSPCC...I'm practically speechless

All of these charity workers are probably just parroting their preferred news outlets or being influenced by their Facebook and Twitter friends which tend to be a bit of an echo chamber. They’re not all lefty and actually consider myself left to a large extent but hate identity politics and the NGOs and charities do tend to be biased to a certain type of folk as do investment banks in the opposite manner

The question I would ask is this:

If the James Makings who is President of Rubbermen London is the same person as the James Makings who is the Celebrity & Talent Officer at the NSPCC charity, why did he choose to apply for a position at the NSPCC?

She said she saw nothing wrong with letting trans children message her “as a friend to turn to”

Well in that case Munroe shouldn't be anywhere near the NSPCC. And neither should anyone else who thinks there is 'nothing wrong' with that.

I remember someone posting about Munroe doing this months ago - I actually called them out on it as I didn't believe it, but they then posted the screenshots and I was like

argued that drag was a “cultural phenomenon” that had no age limit. “There is absolutely nothing wrong with kids playing dress-up if that’s what they want to do,” she said."

Yes, but we are not talking about kids playing fucking dress up are they? We are talking about an 11 year boy dancing for money in an adults only nightclub which the clientele describe as a place 'to party and to fuck' in the middle of the night.

Christ alive!!!

This is why you read a lot about hardcore Trump supporters railing against the ‘mainstream media’. You seriously can’t trust it.

Of course the right wing has many of its own propaganda arms like Fox News and Breibart. I now try to read a variety of news and when something seems amiss check if there is source attached as most just regurgitate another outlet.

It’s why I read the Daily Mail and Guardian online and have a healthy scepticism towards both

Wait. This guy works for the NSPCC??

And is he responsible for their alleged relationship with Monroe?

Seems so

kids playing dress up isn't drag

Yes Datun, it’s on his linked in page

(screen shot - text reads: Celebrity & Talent Officer
November 2018 – Present 8 months
London, United Kingdom
During my time in the celebrity team, I have had some great wins in a short amount of time. I have proven I can effectively identify talent that; resonates with our wider audience, is press worthy, and can fit the brief provided, whether it is for an event, a social media campaign or a large scale fundraising product. I have also recruited and stewarded new and interesting talent that has diversified the NSPCC’s stable of ambassadors. My proudest achievement in the role thus far is the creation of a ‘How To Be A Trans Ally’ video for Childline with Munroe Bergdorf due to launch in June. The social impact of a video like this can be huge, and will also create great PR and social sharing opportunities.’)

He was right, the social impact was indeed, huge.

‘The picture above isn’t just a picture of a group of guys at a fetish event. The group above shows my family. Now I know it might be a bit weird to perceive a bunch of perverts I met at various fetish events as family, but it’s what they’ve become‘

(Post goes on to talk about bereavement due to loss of a friend)

Bergdorf fought back, pointing out that she had “never shot porn in my life”...

Another one for the annals of carefully worded statements, alongside:
"I have no current convictions"
"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

Etc
