MN director appointed as director of the Good Law Project

Link to Companies House

I'm wondering what the implications of this are?

This person is/was (?) a "Management/strategy consultant" who "advised the Founder & CEO on strategy and organisation".

Was this director involved in suggesting the FWR board should be split as part of the 'strategy advice'? Was this 'strategy advice' in any way linked to discussions or negotiations to sign on as a director of the Good Law Project? Was MN fully aware of the intention of a director to take on another directorship that I'd struggle to describe as benign or neutral, given the USP here is targeted litigation & campaigning (including attacking the charitable status of an LGB organisation)? What now for women who have opinions that men disagree with?

If there's a case brewing to sue MN, I think this could prove to be an 'interesting' move.

nice spot

just how much of a vanity project for old jolyon is the good law project?

can we assume that anyone associated with it shares his 'interesting' views on the paramount importance of children being able to opt into taking drugs that will sterilise them and cause long term harm?

Could well explain a hell of a lot of decisions and directional changes.

Now wondering who has access to posters identifying information…

That's very interesting

User4248035893 · 21/08/2021 15:12

So the director of MN is a man?!

JustcameoutGC · 21/08/2021 15:15

There is a board of directors, of which Justin is one.

JustcameoutGC · 21/08/2021 15:19

It looks like there are only 2 directors, Justin and Justine. That is quite odd.

EmpressWitchDoesntBurn · 21/08/2021 15:36

This is worrying. Has anyone reported the thread to make sure HQ see it?

Scrambledbeans · 21/08/2021 15:45

Interestingly he is also a director of a company that I have seen promoted by other posters on the low carb boot camp threads..

nauticant · 21/08/2021 15:50

Justin and Justine

Is there something we're not being told?

picklemewalnuts · 21/08/2021 15:53

Curiouser and curiouser.

DismantledKing · 21/08/2021 15:56

I’m a bit wary of anyone getting involved with the fox botherer.

Thelnebriati · 21/08/2021 16:33

Might be worth posting this in Site Stuff.

"Thanks for highlighting this and sharing the ssauk thread (I'm from ssauk)

We have loads more to say about them. They are a charity. They have about £300k in the bank, they seem well connected and have done big backers. Their resources are terrible. It appears schools diversity week is their invention, and of course it is only about lgbt with a focus on gender.

We think a lot of parents will presume it's about all kind of diversity.

So if your school is partaking and using these resources check out our thread and keep an eye out this week.

It's been learning disability week this week. How many schools who are taking part in this week did anything for the learning disabled?"

'Facebook is accused of helping to 'brainwash' children as young as five with maths lessons that teach pupils to use 'correct' pronouns for 'non-binary' people'
(extract)
The campaign pack also tells teachers to give Key Stage 1 children the following definition of 'transgender': 'When a person is born they are assigned a gender. For a transgender person the gender they have been assigned does not match how they feel inside.

'So someone who is told they are a boy feels like they are a girl, or someone who is told they are a girl, feels like they are a boy.'

Another maths problem reads: 'Jas (a gender non-conforming person using she/her pronouns) is making an apple pie for their friends and family...' before going on to pose a question about the number of apples required to make the pie.

The teaching materials were produced by Just Like Us, a charity whose director of education is Emma Fay, a self-described 'queer' charity worker.

Despite growing concern in Conservative circles about trans activists' influence in the public sector, the Department for Education has publicly backed the Just Like Us campaign, tweeting an endorsement and encouraging schools to take part.

'We're proud to support Just Like Us #SchoolDiversityWeek,' the department said on Twitter.

The campaign was also endorsed by senior Labour MPs including Lucy Powell, the shadow housing minister, and Diane Abbott.

Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, also tweeted his support.

In a video message, Nick Baughan, a Facebook executive, said that the firm was proud to support the campaign.

The social media company has promoted multiple gender identities to its users worldwide, offering as many as 71 different genders for user profiles." (continues)

I’m assuming he would not be allowed access to our details?

Fuck, this does not look good.

Lumpwoody · 21/08/2021 17:17

@justinemumsnet any chance you could comment? This is worrying.

JustcameoutGC · 21/08/2021 17:23

When the board was split, I didn't agree with the decision, but I trusted that Justine made the decision for the right reasons. This revelation has me scratching my head.

Why him? What is his role? What does he advise on? Why only 2 directors?
