Where TF is the Charity Commission report into Mermaids?

I know they are not renowned for being fast, but we must be coming up to two years now.

If, as we suspect, they are actively damaging children, this is two more years they have been allowed to do this.

If they see nothing wrong in handing out binders, pointing kids to Reddit, having nonce apologists on the Board and having staff members make incredibly graphic pornographic art, then that is two year of a shadow hanging over them unfairly, making fundraising really difficult.

Wha go'an?

I would be starting to think there were one or two TRAs in the Charity Commission who are trying to steer it/water it down, or perhaps those investigating have "trans" children in their own families. We already know that fear for family can skew people's responses. Is there any way to find out who is doing this report?

It will never happen, the results will never be published.

I get your pessimism, don't think this can happen. This is a statutory enquiry, it can't be buried, even if Mermaids morph into something else, the Trustees in charge during the wild years are still legally responsible for the operations of the Charity. The enquiry is looking at whether they carried out their legal duties.

My prediction is - it will never happen.

The Labour Party will have done a deal with the activists and will quietly bury whatever findings were discovered and a report will never get published.

OR

The findings were so bad, they implicate the Charities Commission themselves for not looking into it earlier, due to ignoring the red flags raised for years.

The activities will get absorbed into a completely different charity and take over. Like Stonewall slowly being taken over by the Good Law Project.

I'd love to be proved wrong.

At this point you have to wonder if the CC uncovered something more serious and their investigation is paused while other agencies look into it. It does seem to have gone on for a long time and the silence of all concerned raises questions.

If that is the case then they should suspend operations. They are dealing with really vulnerable kids. They could be doing a massive amount of damage.

My assumption is that they are waiting for Mermaids to jump, rather than pushing them.

I bloody well hope not. They’ll be waiting a long time.
