Just saw this on Twitter, posted by Wild Woman Writing Club.

“ The Government has pulled out of Stonewall diversity training, The Telegraph can reveal, as an exodus over its transgender advice continues.

The Cabinet Office confirmed that it and the Government Equalities Office have ended membership of the controversial LGBT charity's Diversity Champions scheme.”

well Stonewall has adverts on TV now

Really? I haven't seen any. What are they like?

🥳
Now we need to get them out of Scotland and Wales

Yes. I emailed the Welsh Government about this. They just sent me a PDF on their rules. They are Stonewall Diversity Champions

Was just coming on to see if anyone had seen the ads - daytime TV on alibi - really don't know who they're aimed at, certainly not my 92 years old Ddad in the middle of watching New Tricks reruns.

This is excellent news! Very encouraging.

The article says there are “250 Whitehall departments and public bodies” who were members. That’s well over a quarter of Stonewalls members. No wonder their “message” has become so pervasive in all walks of life!

Wonderful.

I don't watch Alibi. I'll have to have a look though. Your Dad must be mesmerised.

Oh please god let this filter down to local authorities too.

Cabinet office is great, the rest will follow

Are there any figures on how much this is costing SW? All the organisations cancelling memberships?

How many of the Whitehall departments are leaving? Does this mean all 250 are gone?

I was just thinking today that this had gone a bit quiet - but this is really massive isn't it?

.... and it dies beg the question. Why hasn't anyone noticed up until now that Stonewall's advice us against the law?

Apart from us, I guess.

What will they do now?

Yes. Good. I hope some of its 'founding members' also speak very publicly about their disquiet about the hijacking of SW.

I think £2500 per year was mentioned

💪💪💪💪💪

I just punched the air. This is huge, right?

Fabulous news although Scottish and Welsh governments will no doubt double-down in their craven culpable credulous cretinous handmaidening. I'm toasting the news nonetheless...

Brilliant news!.

Every council in Wales should consider withdrawing!!!

I agree.
