Mermaids being investigated by the Charity Commission - thread 2

[ResisterRex]

The first thread, towards the end of which there was a discussion about having a second thread but it wasn't added:

Mermaids being investigated by the charity commission

There's been a new development so maybe a second thread would be useful:

Lottery pauses trans charity cash during investigation

Exactly. The wrong information that they made up on the spot then, is still wrong.

nothing has changed, and their sly, sorry, not sorry response, is awful.

To explain my point re: MxMew’s design influence, here’s Mermaids Insta spring 2021, Mermaids instagram right now and from Darren’s Insta (archived before it went private: archive.ph/tv9jk). Darren LOVES purple.

oh, hold on, linked in now says Daz left Mermaids in October!

If anyone missed this, there has been open warfare amongst the anti-trans rights movement online over whether they should accept fascists and white supremacists in their ranks.

This isn’t an exaggeration, it’s literally what the debate is about.

OH LOOK SQUIRRELS.

HOT TAKE.

Owen, ffs. Just stop. Look at the utter state of what you are defending.

'Mermaids may now be in deep water. But the mythology it subscribes to has already spread its tentacles through every school and local council. The monster is less a mermaid and more a hydra – cutting off one head won’t slay the beast.'

Jo Bartosch is correct.

It's a tribute to the total batshittery that is Mermaids that Jo Bartosch's opening paragraph is already out of date: "Allegations have surfaced of multiple safeguarding failures, the most recent of which concerns the appointment of Dr Jacob Breslow as a trustee ..." .

Mm-hm

I think Owen needs to reread those discussions, as they were mostly about whether a fairly boring conservative Christian brexiteer in a grey suit is actually far right enough to legitimately be described as a Nazi or a Fascist.

Answer: no.

Yes, OJ is furiously trying to deflect from the Mermaids thing right now - it's embarrassing.

He also apparently thinks that Nicola Sturgeon has 'destroyed anti trans arguments'.....

The thing is, he calls himself a journalist, bur its is really crap 'journalism' to write stuff and make videos about a specific issues, without addressing a very important and relevant aspect of that issue. You can't just ignore it because it doesn't suit your narrative, that's not what journalists do?

Mermaids twitter account hasnt been updated in 5 days.

Who has the password?

Hey Owen!

Every time you make a dumb deflection like this it proves JK correct re the left making it look like safeguarding vulnerable children is right wing policy.

It's amazing how that lady can see the future isn't it?

Or is it, that she understands and recognises patterns of behaviour?

Hmmm.

JK has it again.

I was just thinking how utterly mad a response to the news that a children's charity has a paedophile apologist as a trustee, plus multiple safeguarding failures, is to say 'aren't feminists awful people'.

It's fucking wild.

Owen is attacking those who are trying to protect children.

Owen thinks the fact that women are no longer frightened of being accused of being right wing by him and his crazy critical justice IDOL people is the same thing as women actually being right wing.

it’s not.

Owen and chums have been calling us names for years now, whilst simultaneously facilitating assorted academiapaedos and dickpickers in writing SCHOOLS POLICY.

We say, Cock right Off, Morph.

They're probably trying to work out who is least likely to put their foot in it.

The only way forward for them is for Green to resign. To fall on her own fishy sword.

(and even then it’s probably not enough)

I don’t think Susie will ever resign from Mermaids. It’s become an expression of her own ego. Mermaids the charity is the inner landscape of Green’s head.

(in my personal opinion, obvs).

Gosh! I hope this vindicates James Esses!

I hope this vindicates James Esses!

I hadn't considered that. I hope he doesn't sign a gagging order. Whatever they have to say, it should be public. Given their statutory powers and the fact they get a lot of taxpayer money, I would say there's a high level of public interest in the outcome of that case.

Do we know what stage his case is at?

What did I say? 😳

Absolutely no idea, bird!! Can't remember what you said but it wasn't something that made me think "wonder if it'll stay"

Just had a look and there's a case management hearing scheduled for 20 Oct in the Esses case.
