What exactly IS happening with that inquiry into the rise in girls accessing GIDs? It's a secret, apparently.

Good article this morning from Caroline ffiske

"Well, it seems that there is a government inquiry. But what its terms are, we are not to be told. Is there a Conservative MP out there who is feeling a little bit uncomfortable about all this? This is your watch."

Siameasy - that's one very senior person in the Department for Education. Gets a Stonewall award for openly forcing women in the DfE to share toilets with their male colleagues. And this senior person oversees schools? Shock

He is the first Permanent Secretary to attend the Stonewall face-to-face feedback meeting to hear first-hand about how the department might build on the positive work that has already been started, learn about best practice and lead change Stonewall are a political lobby group - how does this not breach the Nolan principles?

When I worked in retail everyone was scrambling for IIP. Now it’s Stonewall inclusion awards for bringing in gender neutral Toilets

It's also worth questioning whether civil servants / politicians pushing the Stonewall / GIRES / Mermaids line (both in this enquiry but also generally) are in breach of the Nolan principles of public life - see Integrity:
Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.
Surely those accepting awards, hospitality and funding from the likes of Stonewall etc should be declaring a conflict of interest as they are being influenced by them in their work?

This is very worrying

I hope Caroline is asking for an internal review of that decision not to answer her FOI. She has 40 days to put in a request

What is going on there? Why are medics and HCPs not allowed to apply critical thinking?

It's really worrying

Sweepstake on who it is? Grin

I’ll go for that creepy woke lawyer from Bristol who is doing the Scottish consultation.

That is interesting. It does the suggest that the certain civil servants with vested interests have got hold of this from the outset. I have no doubt that they have ensured that those civil servants in receipt of all the Stonewall bribes awards and hospitality will be all over this enquiry at every stage.

NotBadConsidering · 10/01/2020 10:20

I’ll wager the inquiry is being done by someone or a group of people who have an vested interest.
