This sounds interesting.

A special ‘Nolan Investigates’ podcast drops tomorrow afternoon on @BBCSounds. An 18 month investigation into the influence of a lobby group on public bodies throughout the UK. More details in the morning

It seems to be about Stonewall.

Anyone know more about it?

There is some chatter about it on Twitter.

(Tweet from JCJ says:

Okay, at last, here it is.

The BBC Ulster documentary on the influence of Stonewall on public life in the UK.

Many GC women have been interviewed for this.

Let's take the lid off this thing shall we?

This has cheered me up so much after what feels like a week of defeat and frustration.

This is an astonishing listen. To me it represents a tipping point: those in the media with integrity have realised they will enhance their reputations by asking questions and risk diminishing their reputations by being supine.

The juggernaut might not yet have started moving, but when it does move, whenever that may be, it's going to be interesting to see who in the media stand in its path to uphold the gender identity ideology.

I've listened to the intro trailer and episode one. This is gold. I can't believe they've done it.

Episode 2

Riveting

It's proper shocking!

I didn't realise the BBC were outsourcing their thinking to Stonewall to that degree Shock

Finally, journalists are doing their jobs. I bet this forum has been a rich source of information.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2021 18:07

The BBC don't do transcripts for podcasts do they?

littlbrowndog · 13/10/2021 18:03

So this is why the bbc left stonewall

@Shedbuilder I think they are connected

RightsHoardingRaptor · 13/10/2021 18:02

This is brilliant. Tackling it from the angle of asking if Stonewall have been overly involved, given a favourable position, asking if other groups not agreeing with them have had an equal footing. I love that they are clearly saying these issues being pushed are new and contested.

yourhairiswinterfire · 13/10/2021 17:57

Have they really done this?!

It's a relief that someone's finally gone there, isn't it?!

@Jaysmith71

....Do you suppose this comes from the Nicola Williams/Cyclist who shall not be named debacle on Nolan's show???

Karma Gonna Getya.

I wonder if this is the case! I was so annoyed by the aptly named debacle and the porkies I was told by the production team that I pursued my complaint to the BBC to the third (executive?) level and had it upheld which was quite satisfying. I've just listened to the trailer - it sounds promising and I'm sure I recognised Nic Williams' voice.

I’ve only listened to the trailer and I’m covered in goosebumps. Have they really done this?!
