No. You're not going to get to rewrite history.

This has all been motivated by egos, greed, money and big pharmaceutical companies. All political parties should divulge how much money they received from the gender fascists.

I read on another thread on this board that a wealthy gender believer also donated ££ to the Labour Party. Now is the time to do a foi request to discover how financially enmeshed Labour is with this shit. It has been completely infected with this fascist gender ideology from the inside Out.

Ruth Hunt’s peerage should be removed immediately.

JKR should receive one (or the equivalent) immediately.

Sunlight directed by JKR has indeed shown the faces of evil.

I cannot begin to properly express how furious I am about Ruth Hunt’s attempt to re-write the KEY part she played in all of this. If anything, her time at Stonewall was ground zero for all this. It was Stonewall that started this and she was firmly in the driving seat.

I have had the absolute misfortune of having had to deal with her. She and her partner run an equality and diversity type programme that somewhere I used to work brought them in to run. She met her partner when the two of them oversaw the change at Stonewall from a gay rights group to a trans rights group. About half their staff left because of it.

Some of our staff, including me, left our org after the work Ruth and her partner did. Not content with spreading their dangerous bullshit at Stonewall they did it at my old workplace too. I say we left, but actually it was made very clear that anyone not toeing the party line would be pushed out, so we jumped before we were pushed.

Before this article, I at least thought she believed her utter nonsense, but watching her lie and obfuscate about the part she played fills me with contempt for her. Her utter lack of integrity is astonishing.

Simon edge has shared a petition calling for Hunt to resign

nothing to add, just wanted to remind people there is an opportunity to call for her to be stripped of her peerage

FFS. There’s a man who can’t read the room. Or a medical report apparently.

Has anyone given him the BMJ response?

Bloody hell. Still on the religion question, she is talking about using children, using teenage girls, training them to be campaigners. 'Using' is verbatim.

Good grief, she thought she was leading a 21st Century Children's Crusade!

James Esse posted an image where the nspcc / childline were working with mermaids to facilitate online web chat spaces etc.

Mermaids described teens using WhatsApp to remain in touch after residential weekends.

NSPCC keep being recommended for support for children who've experienced harm via WhatsApp groups

Crikey.
Thanks Warrior.

SidewaysOtter · 13/04/2024 22:23

We all knew this would happen. The reverse ferreting, the pretending that they never said the things they did (and for which the internet has receipts), the insistence that they didn’t mean no ‘arm, gov.

I just didn’t expect it to be so fucking shameless.

Ruth Hunt wanted her own Children's Crusade?

How very unusual and somehow not that surprising…

There's quite a lot of interesting stuff in this presentation, actually.

Is it archived? (Somebody explained to me how to do this with videos and I've forgotten.)

@NecessaryScene Is it you who has the knowledge, and, if so, can you share how to, please? Apologies if I've mis-remembered.

A barrister does not tweet that last tweet lightly. She is almost daring RH to go after her for defamation, but I suspect RH has just about too much sense, it being English law that:

it is a defence to an action for defamation for the defendant to show that the imputation conveyed by the statement complained of is substantially true.

IcakethereforeIam · 13/04/2024 21:11

I've never signed a petition so fast. Wouldn't it be better though as a parliamentary petition rather than change?

Good to hear from Allison. This can only help her case against Stonewall.

Thanks to everyone for the links. That picture is so sad. I've seen it many times, it never fails to shock. Those poor girls.

That appeal has a slightly different context at this point doesn't it?!

that will be some legacy. To have, virtually single handedly rendered the previously good name of Stonewall on a par with PIE.
