Whatever happened to...loose ends, not forgotten

The Jameela Jamil thread being bumped reminded me there are several issues that have dropped off the radar that I’m sure certain people are hoping will just be forgotten. So does anyone have an update on (apologies if missed):

• Jess Bradley getting penis out in public
• NSPCC wanking at work guy
• NSPCC follow up on safeguarding, relationship with Bergdorf etc
• anything further from the National Theatre regarding homophobia

I emailed Cricket Australia, that was only last week, but I don’t expect a reply. Do we just accept that on some issues we will never see resolution? One thing I really don’t want to get lost, personally, is the investigation into the Tavistock.

Another loose end for me is the Leicester Square Tube station attacks carried out by four "women". Not heard a dicky bird about sentencing yet. It was so serious that the magistrate referred the case for sentencing at crown court but that was back in November 2018.

If we don’t talk about it, it’s not happening is my take away from the organizations who carefully brush these issues under the carpet. Nothing to see here is writ loud and clear. But we have the receipts, we saw and heard what you did and said, you can’t unring that bell and there is no cloak of invisibility you can hide under. I appreciate the efforts of everyone who keeps fighting to expose these people and the people who supported them.

WHY DOES MY PHONE HATE PARAGRAPHS #samsunggrammar nightmares

Its from the IOC charter.

The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.

I would point out the 'without discrimination' and 'fair play'. So female participants should not be discriminated against just because they have physical disadvantages which are unavoidably relevant in sport.

'... the following Bill of Rights for Young Athletes was suggested by the Institute for the Study of Youth Sports at Michigan State University. They say a young person has these rights:

Right to participate in sports

Right to participate at a level commensurate with each child's maturity and ability

Right to have qualified adult leadership

Right to play as a child and not as an adult

Right of children to share in the leadership and decision-making of their sport participation

Right to participate in safe and healthy environments

Right to proper preparation for participation in sports

Right to an equal opportunity to strive for success

Right to be treated with dignity

Right to have fun in sports

I would point out 'safe and healthy' and 'equal opportunity to strive for success'.

Girls' sport matters. Women's sport matters.

Participation in sport is indeed a human right (will look for the exact ref shortly).

Competing in one specific category as opposed to another is not.

Was quietly sacked
Yes, this is a recurring theme where an extremely low profile is played out in the hope that people will forget.

James Makings, the NSPCC employee filming himself at work at NSPCC in fetish gear and masturbating in the toilets, was quietly sacked in August.

What's happening to the guardian journalist who was trying to get mother taken off their child's birth certificate. Is that still going through the motions in court?

ChattyLion · 17/08/2019 19:16

Thank you Jam - and blimey, amazing stats! Glitterball

Ereshkigal · 17/08/2019 17:57

Great thread. Let's keep these alive.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/08/2019 17:49

Hasn't a certain 'lawyer' got dozens of court cases ongoing?

TinselAngel · 17/08/2019 17:27

What happened to a certain Doctor being investigated by the GMC?

39% increase in traffic to FWR.

Now 246,000 visitors per month v 177,000 last year (I recall someone saying this is unique visitors but not sure).

Sorry don't know how to link it better!

I think the FWR figures did get released and were huge. I'll see if I can find the thread.

popehilarious · 17/08/2019 16:12

also
- Mermaids 'data breach' ie them accidentally storing their emails to trustees detailing confidential details with names etc in a public online store where anyone could read them

ChattyLion · 17/08/2019 14:13

Great thread idea OP. What happened to MN releasing figures on traffic to FWR?

NotBadConsidering · 15/08/2019 22:55

Good point Snippy the McConnell high court ruling will be huge. I suspect if it goes in McConnell’s favour we will be able to read about it in The Guardian. If it goes against McConnell they won’t mention a thing Wink

Answering my own questions, this article says a decision on the O'Donnell case is due in August.www.heraldscotland.com/news/17767952.former-night-editor-accuses-times-newspaper-39-anti-trans-agenda-39/

MrsSnippyPants · 15/08/2019 15:31

More loose ends, or rather waiting for results.
Does anybody know if the case against The Times brought by Katherine O' Donnell came to a conclusion?
And when are we supposed to hear about the birth certificate case? (Woman who identifies as a man gave birth and wants to be registered as the father, Guardian journalist I think).

OhHolyJesus · 13/08/2019 11:30

NSPCC were reported and reported themselves to the charity commission and Rubberman was on 'leave' from work but didn't actually see anything on whether he was under a disciplinary.

A good reminder OP, good thread.

TheInebriati · 13/08/2019 11:27

The only people trying to exclude anyone from sport are the ones making women's events mixed sex.

Everyone can compete or play, in their own class. Making sports mixed sex is like making boxing mixed weight to be 'inclusive'. It's dangerous.

TerfTalk · 13/08/2019 10:57

After the NSPCC failed to turn up at the Mumsnet webchat, they said they would respond, which I believe they never did?

Datun · 13/08/2019 10:46

Participation in sport is a fundamental human right

Says who?

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 13/08/2019 10:40

Participation in sport is a fundamental human right

So tell that to all the women who are now 100% excluded for personal, cultural or religious reasons; when there was an an alternative for this poor hard done by trans person all along, which wouldn't exclude more than it includes
