One of the underlying themes (to me) of the Allison Bailey hearing was that certain senior members of Garden Court Chambers thought that their association with Stonewall would generate lucrative legal work.
Stonewall’s latest trustees’ report (31/3/21, Companies House) talks of its campaigning work and fundraising activities underpinning and ‘promoting’ certain legal and political challenges.
I suspect that a number of deluded people think - rightly or wrongly - that Stonewall will in effect be sponsoring their careers if they play their cards right.
Hope that makes sense - I’m on a very small-screened phone and hate using it for MN.
