My piece on Challenor

[Glinner]

Hello, Mumsnetters! I have written about Aimee Challenor for Feminist Current. Please have a look! www.feministcurrent.com/2019/07/24/why-is-aimee-challenor-still-advising-stonewall/

I can only hope that Stonewall pays attention to this well-documented and thoughtful piece!

Julian Vigo's phrase Wokeus Dei is so spot on for the people who need to reflect on your call to remove AC from Stonewall's advisory committee or any post that would allow AC privileged access to relevant policy committees etc.

Good article 😊

Thanks Glinner!

There's already a thread on this article. It was excellent, glad to see the connections being made between Stonewall, AC and the NSPCC.

I really don’t understand how Challenor can be advising anyone.

Where are the qualifications for this post

Was there not a report about the Challenor case in the greens which said that a Challenor did not understand safeguarding ?

Shared on FB (amazing how many supposedly intelligent 'friends' consistently ignore anything GC I share).

...but what about Father Ted: The Musical?

Good article. Thanks

As Helen also pointed out, “In all seriousness now, if Yaniv was in the UK and so inclined, [Yaniv] could be a girl guide leader. Girlguiding policy is that being a woman is a matter of self ID. Anyone who says they’re a woman can be a leader. Assuming [Yaniv] passed a DBS check (no convictions) then [Yaniv] is in.”

Fucking A.

Yesterday I said the exploitation of these laws is only limited by the imagination of the predator.

But I haven't even thought of that.

Great article.

And you can imagine the kicking off that would take place if Yaniv didn't get through the interview stage.

JY in the Guides: A case of Ging gang goolies, watch out....

Mockers, I know it’s an MN cliche, but I really did choke on my tea reading your post!
Ging gang goolies indeed! Love it!

Thanks Glinner

Good piece.

The main issue with AC advising Stonewall can best be explained within the context of what happens to people working in jobs which require advanced DBS clearance. If they have someone living in their house (they don't have to be in a relationship with them) who would not pass DBS, they cannot be employed in such posts.

AC is about to marry a man who sends up so many safeguarding red flags it's like a bloody military parade in Red Square - but Stonewall (and the Libdems) cheerfully ignore it because - woke blindness to reality.

Excellent piece Mr. Glinner

Heyla, heyla sheyla / Heyla sheyla / Heyla, ho! Heyla, heyla sheyla / Heyla sheyla / Heyla, ho

Don't you mean:

He/she/theyla, hey/she/theyla she/he/theyla...???

Great piece.

But there are others — and I think David Challenor was one of them — who have a vested interest in lowering the standards of safeguarding in the UK and silencing those who raise the alarm about it.

Absolutely. This I find terrifying.

Excellent - will share this wherever I can.

thanks everyone!

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone!

Really good stuff.

I find it so ironic that something that reads like a terribly sick black comedy is pretty much only being shouted about from the rooftops by a comedian.

The Challenor story - David, Aimee and now this very sinister fiance - is beyond troubling.

Thanks for an excellent article, Glinner

Great stuff!!!

Thanks Glinner
