London Bridge railway station political gender flags - how to complain

There is a lot of concern on twitter over a set of flag illustrations on a pillar at London Bridge Station.

https://www.networkrail.co.uk/stories/london-bridge-station-celebrates-lgbt-history-month/

Sex Matters have now issued a formal complaint to the authorities about it see letter below.

We have written to Andrew Haines @networkrail and @LordPeterHendy about the intimidating political display at London Bridge station

You can make a complaint here https://communications-crm.custhelp.com/app/ask?var=complaint

This has resulted in the discovery that Shane Andrews, Network rail’s LGBT+ lead, who is also a scout leader (and a trustee of the Scouts), an independent police custody inspector, a school governor - used abusive sexist/homophobe slang all over his social media. He went on a huge deleting spree, but copies of his tweets are being shared widely.

That's some excellent sleuthing. And perfectly displays what women on here often point out - that so many of the men pushing queer theory at children in schools, children's organisations like the Scouts eyc are dyed in the wool misogynists.

It cannot be any clearer in this man's posts. He absolutely seems to hate women yet has seemed to have risen to positions of influence all over the place. Particularly within the spheres of LGBT.

Thanks for this @fromorbit , and well done to Sex Matters. I’ll be adding my voice to the complaints.

Shane Andrews twitter was an absolute mess. No wonder he deactivated, but christ how so these men get into the positions they do.

You would think Network rail is a large enough organisation to have an HR department that would be switched on enough to check the social media content of one of their 'leads' especially when said lead will feature prominently on Network rails very own social media platforms.

Also, it looks like his X account has been deactivated.

He can delete and deactivate all he likes but he's disregarded the first rule of posting online: The Internet Never Forgets.

Well done and nice work with the sleuthing @fromorbit 👏🏻

Also, it looks like his X account has been deactivated.

Dennis Kavanagh's response to this on twitter is very funny. The situation itself however is not.
