LGBT Youth Scotland lawsuit

Exactly. How on earth anyone with this CV would be wanting to work at a relatively minor charity escapes me. Which means there's a reason why that person couldn't get a job somewhere else or it simply isn't true.

It should have raised a red flag but clearly didn't, either because they couldn't or wouldn't see the acres of flapping scarlet fabric.

You can see why they were tempted to appoint him - the ability to run for election at least three times and be on various boards and in management positions and a law degree all before the age of 25 as well as a completely scrubbed Internet footprint and cheekbones for <checks photo> miles.....

From the Times article: "Dr Mhairi Crawford, the LGBTTS chief executive, said: “Board positions such as convener are separate and distinct from the senior leadership team [who] have day-to-day operational responsibility for the charity. During an election period it is disappointing but not surprising that attempts are being made to link this story to partisan politics."

Translation: "There is no wrongdoing, this just an attempt to smear us. It's all lies, despite evidence to the contrary. I repeat, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG PLEASE."

I read this earlier and also noted he's 25, a "lawyer" with a CV as long as your arm and nobody thought "Hang on a minute". Just demonstrates the complete lack of critical thinking embedded in this culture like "Blackpool" through a stick of rock.

I suppose if they are stripped of funding I'll be pleased, but it's going to be very infuriating that someone embellishing their CV is what causes this charity's downfall and not the fact that their ex CEO is a paedophile caught with CSA images on his work computer. Plus the other paedophile that worked for them, plus the sexual abuse allegations, the issues with the binders, declaring that they disagree with the supreme court, I mean, all of that stuff, sure, carry on, nothing to see here... 🙄

£13 million from the Scottish Govt!!! Wow. I’m glad I’m not paying my taxes in Scotland.

Baron von Münchhausen?

The internet? The AI picture above is incredible.

Billy Fisher, or that fella with a canoe.

If you'd been working for almost any organisation but LGBTYS, it should have been obvious that this was the equivalent of appointing the Talented Mr Ripley, or maybe Milo Yiannopoulos.

I can't help but snigger every time that picture pops up. How could anyone not look at this and be on their guard about what else that person is faking, like his amazing work experience at age 25?

'Westwood previously campaigned to become a Conservative councillor in Dartford in 2019, stood for Labour in Bromley, Greater London, in 2022 and attempted to become president of the National Union of Students, but was unsuccessful on each occasion.'

Where did they find this man?!

And still they will be funded by Scot Gov and given access to our children

Red bunting.

I saw this reported in Third Force News today, which was good to see. When they announced his appointment last month I did think the accompanying photo was odd and wondered why you would use it when it was so obviously not a true likeness. Not read further, and will now read the articles linked above, thanks, but it sounds like he has really stretched the truth in terms of selling his experience. Funnily enough the person I know who is also on their Board was exactly the same so surprised they didn't spot it in a takes one to know one sort of way!

For this organisation, its just another red.flag in a long string of red flags.

Photos have surfaced, btw. He's a chubbier, paler version of the picture given to the publication.

The Bluestocking gerbils look more real than that picture.

It’s very worrying that a charity for children would employ someone who isn’t what he claims to be. Not good for safeguarding.

The picture Wings has on site looks totally fake, the Rev called it AI Christopher Walken, which was so true. 😂

....aaand he's quit.

Who the fuck even was he?

Timothy Westwood? Like the DJ? That can't be right.

Unless LGBTYS has its accounts signed off by totally legit trustees like "James Bond" and "Michael Mouse", which would not prevent ScotGov continuing to fund them.

Wtf is going on at this charity? It seems they did no due diligence and picked some random bloke as their new convener

Wings doesn't think he even exists

And the SNP wanted to allow 16 year olds to become MSPs (members of the Scottish Parliament). You know, to represent constituents and pass laws.
