Ha fucking ha.

Wouldn't LGB Alliance get to see the embargoed judgement at the same time, though? They wouldn't necessarily announce it was coming, I suppose - maybe there's even a rule or convention that only the one bringing the case does that? Or even, only they get prior sight? Anyone know?

Talk about damning with faint praise. That message speaks volumes- can't wait for what is going to follow.

RoyalCorgi · 25/11/2022 18:53

I think there's a strong likelihood that either a) they have had advance sight of the judgement in the LGBA case or b) the Charities Commission has been asking some difficult questions and finding some dubious practices.

Might be something else altogether, of course, but I think it's likely that something is afoot.

It makes the Guardian's recent decision to publish a piece that was nothing more than a PR platform for Green all the more delicious. They couldn't have made themselves look more foolish if they'd tried.

We could job share? Take it in turns?

This is an ideal opportunity to have a g c mermaids ceo. How do we all apply?

Of course, as Mermaids launched the case, they will get to see an embargoed judgement before it is published

Good point indeed

WhiteFire · 25/11/2022 18:43

Pushed? Jumped?

An interesting turn of events.

Am I the only one wondering if something interesting is coming in this weekend's papers?

This was my first thought!
Fingers crossed the whole thing tumbles down.

JoanOgden · 25/11/2022 18:40

I wonder when the judgement in the LGB Alliance case will be published. Suspect it may be a clusterfuck for Mermaids, and possibly very expensive

Mermaids CEO Susie Green has left the charity after six years in charge.

Chair of Trustees Belinda Bell said: “The Trustees are very grateful to Susie for everything she has done over the last six years to support trans, non-binary and gender-diverse young people and their families, and to build Mermaids into the organisation it is today.

“We wish her all the best for the future.”

An interim CEO will be appointed shortly.

Well that's a very short, very bland statement that you usually only see when someone had been pushed out in a if you don't resign you're fired sort of way.

Added to the fact that she's gone without a replacement being hired!!!

Since we're up to four (is it five?) major safeguarding public disasters, none of which seem to have been taken seriously or seen as an issue, the likelihood of more skeletons in the closet is high.

Given the massive safeguarding failures, it's incredible that the press have not comprehensively outed the whole shameful organisation.

Now that is interesting...!

Good gravy. Never thought I’d see the day.

What excellent, excellent news.

PrinceYakimov · 25/11/2022 18:24

I imagine that since finding they had a trustee with paedophile links among their ranks, they have been reviewing their safeguarding procedures. Perhaps, as a result of that, they have concluded that having Susie as CEO is not compatible with safeguarding?

Yes, the trustees are personally liable for any legal risks.

Hope they all have good insurance.

That reads like one of those job references that will only confirm dates of employment.

Riapia · 25/11/2022 18:23

Wonder if she’s been head hunted.
Surely an asset to any company.
