14th October 'Nolan Investigates' podcast - Stonewall?

Listening to Ep 5 this morning. I'm glad Dr Bell is challenging the concept of 'trans children'. Labelling children, some as young as 2 or 3 years old, as 'trans' has been a huge misstep in putting their best interests first.

I'm relying on the captions rather than the voices but Episode 4 (NB identity) doesn't come across in the way that it seems to do to those of you listening to it.

Episode 4 was a perfect lead in to this conclusion: have whatever self-declared identities you want, no matter how undefinable they are, no matter how unable you are to explain what they mean, but they should have no relevance at all to how our institutions and our legal system work.

Episode 4 was just ridiculous. Me, me me, me me, oh, and I don't really know what I'm talking about. I would be embarrassed if that was the elected representative of my town.

Episode 5 with Dr Bell is fantastic. Nolan is playing Devil's advocate, and Bell is answering each and every question with a depth of knowledge, clarity and compassion that is making me tear up.

OK All

I've fixed Episodes 4 & 8, tested and working.

I loved episode 4 and it's perfect for sharing with family and friends new to the debate who don't want to get bogged down with anything too heavy.

Morning All.

I'll get to work on the dodgy episodes.

Fantastic. Thank you from those of us without TV licences!

Episodes 4 and 8 don't work at all for me (downloaded as archive), and I'm seeing quite a lot of other people having at least the same issue with 4.

I think Nolan has said the episodes should be available outside the UK in the next few days.

Episode 9 says it all. "Was the regulator to keen to please a lobby group".

NDAs are worth Jack Shit in FOI. The public interest element in the confidentiality exemption puts paid to that. Even as a reverse public interest test (which it is).

Wonder what's going on in the bunker. They must have known this was coming.

And, so far, I've not heard anything that hasn't been discussed on the Baroness' webinars. There is either politics afoot, or I have been reading too much Private Eye.

Interesting point. While the TRAs have made all the running so far in keeping with Dentons, there’s no reason why GC campaigners and free speech advocates cannot run their own multi-pronged campaign. The key difference is that the Baroness and all the key GC interest groups are very open and transparent, running public events which are open to all and engaging the public, rather than operating within the framework of that grubby, shady Dentons document.

Fantastic work, but as your reward, here come the tech support requests!

(Possibly because everyone's so desperate to find out what non-binary is! Are you trolling?)

At the Tory conference the PMs wife was wheeled out to say some vague stuff which lacked any sort of noun and could have been interpreted as being supportive of conflicting viewpoints. PMs wife is, obviously, not an elected position and so is a fairly unusual and, well, safe.

Meanwhile, the license fee is under threat.

Is it unreasonable that I'm thinking this is a threat to the BBC? "Be neutral, be impartial, or lose your funding". With a bit of public Carrie chat on the side to soften the blow for the BBC employees who have lacked an ability to manage their own bias?

This is a soft launch of a threat "No more CBeebies butterfly shite, it is dangerous and public money won't fund it"

And, so far, I've not heard anything that hasn't been discussed on the Baroness' webinars. There is either politics afoot, or I have been reading too much Private Eye.

Likewise! Cannot wait to listen!

Episode 7 Cohen on Stonewall and the law. Absolute magic.

Cant believe Stonewall got organisations to sign a non disclosure agreement. Explains a lot of the FOI responses. More front than Blackpool.

I have been informed that Barbie Kardashian and the other male is kept permanently away from women in limerick women's prison

Must listen tomorrow!

I'm in the middle of episode two. Where they have discovered stonewalls Ponzi scheme. We created a league table for you to climb up and when we find you wanting, we will sell you training to get you further up.

And me, Datun.
