I do wonder what it is going to take for LOJ to actually say 'hang on, what am I doing here'?

Floisme · 13/06/2019 07:54

Oh I hadn't realised they hadn't even done the investigation, I'd assumed they'd kicked the report into the long grass. Thanks.

(I'd still love to know what Bradley's doing now.)

I want everyone at the guardian and NSPCC and the 150 people who signed that letter to sit down and watch the coercive control film by GNC Ben. And read everything the pique resistance groups have to say.

Also, 150 in an organisation like the NSPCC is nowt.

Quite apart from anything else - if you're doing your job properly, who has the TIME to wank at work??

Is this something we can expect to see stats on soon, as brave and stunning people like rubbercub normalise it? Work hours lost to wanking, like smoking? Annual cost to businesses? (8.4 billion for smoking, apparently.) I expect LOJ will write a sanctimonious column claiming that, despite the lost work time (similar to having a ciggie?) wanking is actually good for you, and will go on to list the mental, emotional and physical benefits (from research done on males, of course.) Next step - a campaign to have safe spaces for workplace wankers, and wet wipe dispensers in the (gender-neutral) toilets to wipe down their rubber underwear.

I actually feel a bit sick even typing all that.

I barely have time to go to the loo for ‘traditional’ reasons let alone talc myself down/baby lotion myself (I don’t really know the protocol here) then haul my fat ass into an inner tube tube and entertain myself.

I assume the video post production was also don’t during office time perhaps?

Yeahnahyeah · 13/06/2019 08:08

The thing is, the guy does seem quite sweet. I was touched by his Body Positivity photos, and his blog about the death of a friend.
What alarms me is that the Woke politics around kinks is now so ingrained that he obviously didn't see anything at all wrong with linking to his kink.
Neither do lots of people it seems.
It's been that normalised.

No wonder we are in this gender cluster fuck too.
Things are bloody grin aren't they?
Hope he's ok, he seems quite sensitive.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/06/2019 08:12

Sweet? Have you read his tweets. We are all sweet and touching speaking about the death of a friend.

YY, everyone with an interest in Safeguarding &/or TRA and allies should watch it

This doesn’t even seem that outlandish, given the current climate. Fucking hell.

You might yet get that job.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/06/2019 08:24

I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole (and by the looks of it there would be some there who would enjoy that).

I wouldn’t go near a charity these days or rainbow flagged waving organisation ie en if you paid me ten times the salary. They are blinkered to the real issues and either just want to jump on the bandwagon or are being played by a tiny amount of damaging people who have no right to wear the colours.

I just don’t recognise the LGT community anymore. It’s something else now.

I actually cannot believe what I have read here - west midlands police wanting digital forensic volunteers and for them to sit and view indecent images of children! It is an absolute disgrace and a disaster waiting to happen! www.indeed.co.uk/m/viewjob?jk=4cef65dc0b4cfb26&from=serp

What does lil have to say?

FloralBunting · 13/06/2019 08:28

The sweet thing is how this gets a pass. Yes, I'm sure he can be very personable and pleasant to people. That has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not he should be a)wanking at work and b)filming it for the internet and c) telling the world about his fetish in the same breath as telling them about his NSPCC work.

Even nice people are able to have really, really shitty boundaries. The stupid polarisation of humans into 'goodies' and 'baddies' is precisely why we need safeguarding. Because anyone, even the guy who is sweet, can be doing things which make your hair curl.

littlbrowndog · 13/06/2019 08:31

I can’t seem to link

She says that the Torres literally buried the report.

littlbrowndog · 13/06/2019 08:32

No am wrong she said wanless buried it

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/06/2019 08:36

What’s it friend and neighbours always say after a murder or other horrendous crime?

He was such a nice man
She was very quiet - but always said smiled and said hello when you met her in the street
He loved those kids before he bludgeoned them to death

archived twitter thread documenting NSPCC incorrect Safeguarding & legal response to a mother re Girl Guides and male children (its also rude & dismissive)

(extract)
"We KNOW already that @NSPCC has already sacrificed key principles of child safeguarding to satisfy a dangerous ideology. What follows is some excerpts from correspondence between a concerned mother and the NSPCC starting in early 2017
The query regards the Girl Guides trans policy which allows boys to share accommodation with girls without parental knowledge was set out clearly and logically by this concerned mother. Girl Guides Assc had not taken the concerns of the mother seriously hence contacting @ NSPCC (continues)

I've been reading this thread yesterday and again today and I'm just completely dumbfounded.

The part of my brain that stubbornly/stupidly believes the world is still a sane and rational place knows this cannot be right in any possible way and it will be dealt with swiftly and decisively.

The part that knows how fucked we are right now fears that it will be hastily excused and covered up. An orchestrated process of doing so seems to be well underway.

As many people as possible, sympathetic journalists, the Charity Commission, etc etc, need to know about this. It cannot be swept under the carpet.

ChattyLion · 13/06/2019 08:51

Weird how the print/online news media don’t seen to have updated or followed up their stories on this topic.

Also re Charity Commission I would feel happier if the NSPCC trustees asked the commission to work with them and assess their progress as NSPCC try to rebuild their safeguarding culture. NSPCC desperately need to rebuild trust and kids do need the NSPCC and Childline and they need these services to be safely and appropriately run.

littlbrowndog · 13/06/2019 08:52

So wanless. Didn’t see any safeguarding problems at all

As ceo of nspcc

Thanks rowan

calpop · 13/06/2019 08:52

Can i just say, for a bit of balance, if thats at all the right word, I work in a male dominated environment and for many years have been the only woman in an office full of men. Many of them freely commented, on a regular basis, to having just had a wank on return from the toilets (luckily, still male so I used the female ones upstairs). Its not that unusual ime. This was in a London investment bank.

The difference is they weren't making that info publicly available on the internet I suppose. They did still have some boundaries.

This is the main reason I dont want gender neutral toilets btw, that and the number of times they'd talk about "just dropping the kids off at the pool" and the mess in there.
