14th October 'Nolan Investigates' podcast - Stonewall?

[Helleofabore]

This sounds interesting.

A special ‘Nolan Investigates’ podcast drops tomorrow afternoon on @BBCSounds. An 18 month investigation into the influence of a lobby group on public bodies throughout the UK. More details in the morning

It seems to be about Stonewall.

Anyone know more about it?

There is some chatter about it on Twitter.

(Tweet from JCJ says:

Okay, at last, here it is.

The BBC Ulster documentary on the influence of Stonewall on public life in the UK.

Many GC women have been interviewed for this.

Let's take the lid off this thing shall we?

Episode 2

Riveting

It's proper shocking!

I didn't realise the BBC were outsourcing their thinking to Stonewall to that degree

[Manderleyagain]

I've listened to the intro trailer and episode one. This is gold. I can't believe they've done it.

[nauticant]

This is an astonishing listen. To me it represents a tipping point: those in the media with integrity have realised they will enhance their reputations by asking questions and risk diminishing their reputations by being supine.

The juggernaut might not yet have started moving, but when it does move, whenever that may be, it's going to be interesting to see who in the media stand in its path to uphold the gender identity ideology.

[Angrysaurus]

This has cheered me up so much after what feels like a week of defeat and frustration.

[Goldshelfie]

I’ve just listened to the first 2 episodes, this is brilliant! So much information collated together, I think this is going to be huge! They’ve spent months investigating Stonewall and how they’ve influenced government and the BBC, there’s no way they can come out looking good after this.

[Eucalyptustrees]

Funny. Malcolm Clark just called people using the gender bread thingy idiots.

Great listen.

All episodes available on the BBC Sounds app

[nauticant]

Surely the BBC will now have to cut all ties of influence with Stonewall. I know it's been speculated about but I've not yet seen it confirmed.

[Signalbox]

I'm amazed Benjamin Cohen participated.

[nauticant]

I cannot hear the phrase "controversial lobby group" enough.

[RoastChicory]

Episode 3 covers WiiSpa. Brilliant

[OhHolyJesus]

"Can I suggest to minister that people should not face dismissal from their job for suggesting that women cannot have a penis."

This is dynamite. 🔥🔥🔥

[nauticant]

"How can the BBC only do Stonewall's bidding when there are other groups who disagree, when there are LGBT people who disagree?"

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Benjamin Cohen CEO of Pink News doesn't seem to understand the questions he is being asked.

[Angrysaurus]

I was disappointed about how they spoke to Rosie D with the faux offence about suggesting Men are a danger and suggesting sexual assault is about arousal. I'm glad she stood her ground and refused to be gaslighted.

What a shock.

Wibble wibble... I know we can’t make personal comments on here... but come on, you feed me a line like that... (I’ll just think it.)

[BoreOfWhabylon]

Oh, this is glorious and I've only listened to the trailer so far!

[nauticant]

Benjamin Cohen: But there are loads of these protection rackets! So why shouldn't Stonewall run the same thing with the BBC?

[Mollyollydolly]

Up to the end of episode 2, it's really good. As an ex BBC employee it gives me hope. Interesting it's come out of Northern Ireland - doubt it would have been made in London. Well done Stephen Nolan, impartiality is the bedrock of the BBC, nice to see it in reality.

[FloralBunting]

This is absolutely stunning.

[littlbrowndog]

What is 2spirt. Cohen. I don’t know

Who makes the rules up on gender identity. Good question

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Apparently there is going to be "an online text piece" as well...
