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 Shock

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

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.

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

Goldshelfie · 13/10/2021 18:18

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 · 13/10/2021 18:19

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

Great listen.

All episodes available on the BBC Sounds app

nauticant · 13/10/2021 18:38

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 · 13/10/2021 18:42

I'm amazed Benjamin Cohen participated.

nauticant · 13/10/2021 18:49

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

RoastChicory · 13/10/2021 18:50

Episode 3 covers WiiSpa. Brilliant

OhHolyJesus · 13/10/2021 18:55

"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 · 13/10/2021 19:13

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

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2021 19:16

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

Angrysaurus · 13/10/2021 19:17

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.

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 · 13/10/2021 19:22

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

nauticant · 13/10/2021 19:22

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

Mollyollydolly · 13/10/2021 19:30

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 · 13/10/2021 19:31

This is absolutely stunning.

littlbrowndog · 13/10/2021 19:32

What is 2spirt. Cohen. I don’t know

Who makes the rules up on gender identity. Good question

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 13/10/2021 19:33

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