CPS leaves Stonewall

Someody help me.

I know I am not going mad, I just heard this on Radio2 news.

CPS leaves Stnewall, the legality of its advice having been questioned.

But I can't find it being reported anywhere, Google has let me down!

Anyone else hear it?

Anyone find confirmation elsewhere?

Or - what did I mishear?

About fucking time.

It took a 14 year old girl asking for a Judicial Review to focus minds, reprehensible.

Note the usual Stonewall everything is fine, nothing to see here bullshit in that thread.

Yep!

So happy we taught you enough that you are now all grown up enough to do it for yourself (without paying us or listening to our half baked "ahead of the law" advice). Ta ra!

Is the whole house of cards about to crumble??

It does seem like JRs whether successful or not, seem to focus minds. It's just a shame that women have to spend £££££ to make that happen.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/09/2021 15:19

Good to hear this.

Cerebelle · 13/09/2021 15:19

What happened with the JR? Think I completely missed that.

Fairly mind boggling statement.

The Crown Prosecution Service realise it's been taking incorrect advice on the law from a lobby group, and acting on it?
How the actual fuck did we get here?

XiXimXerJingping · 13/09/2021 15:22

Lobby groups should have no power to dictate laws, yet here we are...

I know, it's un-fucking-believable, whoever signed up to this on behalf of the CPS and swallowed that incorrect legal advice should be sacked.

Fairly mind boggling statement. And I quoted it exactly as it was said (I think - I was also busy scrabbling for FWR to post about it Smile )

Thank god for Safe Schools Alliance and 14 year od girls who take such shit back to review when they first get told to go and play nice!

It’s definitely coming isn’t it.

I keep feeling like the tide is turning, then it isn’t, then it is.

This news makes me hopeful.

Tibtom · 13/09/2021 15:34

The JR failed because the CPS argued the champion's scheme was purely about staff. Since then there has been a lot of evidence that the scheme is about all internal and external policies.

I can not tell you how horrified I am by the lack of due diligence from so many key organisations.

How long will it be until the NHS has to stop this as well. There are many problems with some of the assertions and claims in the 'ally packs' in NHS Scotland (?) and some were scrutinised on MN earlier this year.

The evidence base is flawed. The legal advice is flawed. The display of partiality for one set of protected characteristics over others is absurd. The public money spent on this flawed education, training, and consultancy has to stop.

It has to stop. Full stop.

Yes, it's a complete seesaw. But baby steps, and all that.

Yep, public finances are in a dire state, massive tax hikes and yet they have money to burn on this shit and rainbow coloured police cars.

Our rainbow coluored all electric police car had the rainbow peeled off it overnight last weekend Grin

I know who it was and his sergeant would probably turn a blind eye - it was foisted upon their ruralness by some 'woke pillock from the smoke'.

That could be a very local call to arms Say No to the Woke from the Smoke! Grin

Any way to evaluate Stonewall's claim that their Diversity Champions scheme is growing? Seems unlikely. Have they put it on sale or something?

Curious Grin, Police not completely captured then.

Can you imagine the Police rocking up to bust a den of drug dealers in their rainbow cars?

It's making the Police a complete and utter laughing stock, no wonder crime is going up the criminals are absolutely pissing themselves laughing at the Police.
