Huzzah! I hope though more common ground can be found. It's a shame they are such an aggressive awful group as LBGT do need their issues addressed.

@OldCrone

Yep I know.

But the telegraph reported they were thinking about leaving and that the new education minister was alive to the problems with stonewall. Ofsted have already left. Hopefully next will be d of e. And then the next review of pshe guidance (due in a yr & half I think) will be much clearer and stop schools being confused over what they should be teaching (because so many are still….)

Good. About time.

ArabellaScott · 10/11/2021 13:23

@BloodinGutters

Love the use of 'however ...'

Speaks volumes about how much thinking and conversation must have been going on behind the scenes at the Beeb.

Especially after the reaction against the article about lesbians being targeted by trans women.

Excellent news that they are coming out of both! They had intended to stay in the Index.

Really hopeful that they will play an active role, in stopping the destruction of women’s rights, in England as a minimum.

I so wish Evan Davis was going to be presenting the PM programme later to report this news but I think he might currently be on a break.

[quote bellinisurge]This one hurts them. Here's their response. They haven't commented on any other incidents of organisations pulling out. Self inflicted

Over 900 companies? Has that gone up?

CeratopsofthePharoahs · 10/11/2021 13:18

It's about time!

Well, well, well!

NecessaryScene · 10/11/2021 13:16

Wasn't this already announced in the podcast?

It had been rumoured due to anonymous sources in the weeks leading up to the podcast, as I recall. The BBC basically "no commented" in the podcast.

highame · 10/11/2021 13:15

As I live and breathe. Thank god for that, I hope I'll be able to (eventually) go back to supporting them. How is LOJ taking it? He's really having a hard time at the moment, poor luv 😂

@TheCountessofFitzdotterel

Flowers to Nolan for this. Hurrah for good traditional journalism. And Flowers to all the feminist activists without whom the podcasts couldn’t have happened.
Yes, and especially Flowers for Allison Bailey

Gosh, well done all those highlighting the inappropriateness of the relationship!

Shedmistress · 10/11/2021 13:10

Such excellent news.

MiladyBerserko · 10/11/2021 13:10
