I recommend buying a copy of the new issue (dated 14-27 June). Good to see Private Eye shining a light on this individual. I can't quite manage to screenshot the whole thing but the gist of it is here.

As I edge closer to cancelling the grauniad I might take out a sub to private eye, Will def buy it this week

I did that when I stopped buying The Guardian. It’s about £29 for a year if you take out a subscription and is published fortnightly. It reports a lot of stuff that isn’t covered elsewhere which is good. Horrid tiny print though!

Am off to buy myself a copy shortly

Just subscribed. Thanks

Yes, I bought a copy yesterday to peruse at the weekend. It’s a really good read, I just never have the time!

EmpressLesbianInChair · 13/06/2019 08:43

Just bought my copy.

Private Eye are very persistent, following stories for decades. They do proper investigative journalism and are unafraid of litigation.

They’re fucking funny too.

DD kindly buys me a subscription every year, I’ve been a regular reader since my teens (when WH Smug wouldn’t stock it). Very pleased to see this. Will write to say well done.

That was really excellent.

hoodathunkit · 12/06/2019 23:48

I love Private Eye

I may even get round to sending them some tips at some point - something I keep meaning to do but am so insanely busy with research and every day brings some new horror

:)

Great. Private eye is v widely read by policy makers.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 12/06/2019 12:20

Thank you Private Eye!
This is in the best tradition of the Eye's calling out hypocrisy and dishonesty. I will be buying that ASAP.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 12/06/2019 12:15

I'll pick that up later. Thanks Zeugma.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 12/06/2019 12:12

That looks like a good article. My dad reads it religiously so hopefully he will take notice. At the moment he thinks it's a niche issue which he's not very interested in.

butteryellow · 12/06/2019 12:11

You know, I think it's time I subscribed to private eye again - it's cheaper than my kids beano susbcription, and really deserves the support.

RuffleCrow · 12/06/2019 11:46

Great article.

As we've long suspected, the link between homophobia, sexism and 'woker than woke "trans" rights activism' is far from coincidental. It's instrinsic to the 'movement'.

Redshoeblueshoe · 12/06/2019 11:38

Adds Private Eye to my shopping list
Thanks OP

Yes, quite. I'm hoping the FOI requests regarding the consultation bear fruit, though I don't want to get too hopeful given things I've heard about how these can be wriggled out of.

Gosh, so Lord (self-appointed guardian of the queer) has no qualms about promoting countries whose human rights records on homosexuality are appalling.

And then labelling legitimate concerns raised by people like Peter Tatchell and Stonewall as "smears".

Such a brilliant ally, eh?

Avrosia · 12/06/2019 10:57

Thanks, sounds a good read.

Nothing surprises me about that rank hypocrite
