Just for clarity & in case anyone jumps at the chance to call me a right-winger bent on denying women reproductive rights: I’m a socialist agnostic who has protested anti-abortionists.

And I know a child safeguarding hazard when I see one.

Performances planned in Bath, Bristol and Norwich.

@theDudesmummy the PCC for the area has said:

"Thank you. Yes fully aware and dealing with partners over this."
And
"I know the leader and CEO are as I discussed this with them last week."

The second tweet might mean the local council. But I couldn't be totally sure.

The comments under their statement are spot on.

theDudesmummy · 20/04/2022 18:08

OK I have now had it with waiting for CEOP. I have made a report to Avon and Somerset Police, as ThisEgg Ltd is registered with Companies House at an address in Bristol. I suppose they will probably see this and I don't care, as we have screenshots and archived material. (And they didn't shut up shop wheh I mentioned CEOP very prominently on this thread yesterday).

NevaehMind · 20/04/2022 18:07

Looks like it's been cancelled https://twitter.com/thisegg_/status/1516336468784029698?s=21&t=XM1DpDQkvIfKMSFbo1b9-g

We need new words because 'outrageous' and 'despicable' just doesn't seem to cut it any more. Every day something else comes along that I flip my lid about.

Thanks Hadrosaurus. I got confused with the middleman element.

So the Arts Council immediately withdrew funding from the LGBA on the basis of a complaint about the fact they've been through a process to become a charity, but they are "investigating" their own decision

Yes, it is Alice in Wonderland time at Arts Council England. I wonder how many of their decision-makers were involved in this assessment about their own suitability to investigate themselves. Likewise, how much power did they devolve to London Community Foundation, and with what level of accountability, given LCF has already chosen to ask LGBA for the return of the funds.

[quote SolasAnla]Looks as if the Arts Council is investigating the funding approval end

It looks as if they replied to a word search as i cant see them being included by blablafishcakes or Jozinhagirl.

Have I got that right, or did I slip into a parallel universe?

I don’t think the Arts Council should be ‘marking its own homework’ in respect of this matter, I think there needs to be an independent investigation

I agree. In my last job, I had to set funding criteria and score funding applications, if I'd missed an applicant recommending kids google 'masturbating animals' and then drawing them, I'd recuse myself and I'd probably resign on the spot for being completely incompetent and ask for ALL my funding decisions to be looked at. I'm not even joking, I had to refuse to pay a claim once as I didn't believe that any of the activity had actually happened and got an external fornesic accountant to look over all my work to ensure I'd made all the right decisions. You absolutely have to ensure that the money is going to the right people. The finding decision and the whole funding round should be looked at by an external body.

theDudesmummy · 20/04/2022 16:47

I too think there should be an independent investigation, preceded by one by the police (still no word from CEOP).

The School of Sexuality, which advised on this show, are still delivering workshops in schools, colleges and universities.
How can any safeguarding officer think this is appropriate?
There was a thread on AIBU but it seems to have disappeared.

That was my thread I think, here it is:

Yes, I believe so.

Wonderful. 🙄

Seems like no nice thing is allowed to remain unsullied.

I want to know why these actors are wearing elizabethan ruffs. What's with that?

DomesticatedZombie · 20/04/2022 13:59

The Egg is where the show is still due to take place later this month.

Does This Egg have a connection to The Egg in Bath? I ask because we live in the area and my primary aged grandchildren have been to plays there and I've eaten with them in the cafe. Haven't been for a few years now, but it would be good to know.

Yes, I believe so.

I've just noticed that they have removed the masturbating animal bit from their website...

I wonder why? They had run it past experts in safeguarding so it was totes fine for 5 year old's right?

Groomers of all sexualities, but mostly, as far as I can see, straight.

theDudesmummy · 20/04/2022 13:44

Yeah, reckon the bestiality crowd are a but more timid that the MAPs? But no doubt their time, too, will come. AAPs perhaps, since we are doing away with the old-fashioned words like child abuser and paedophile?
