Not sure how much of the article is readable.

This chap, Jes Staley, pulled Barclay's support from MN over so called 'trans' issues. Some may remember the fuss a few years back.

Now transpires from emails revealed in court he was close to Epstein and had sex with an Epstein employee.

Funny how things turn out in the end.

Barclays and Epstein: It Gets Worse.

As Barclays Bank CEO, Jes Staley championed the LGBTQ+ agenda and organised the boycott of a mother's forum. Now he's admitted he had sex with an "employee" of Jeffrey Epstein.

Promoting Tachell, Mermaids? Why the fuck? What's it got to do with bloody banking??

Ostensibly an attempt to recover reputation points. But then again, the hand of Stonewall is there from quite early on:

'In 2012 after a series of scandals and huge fines from regulators for, among other things, running a multi-billion dollar tax avoidance scheme Barclays was in crisis and appointed the notably nice Anthony Jenkins as its CEO. His mission was to reform the bank’s toxic corporate culture.

Changing a culture takes time though so in 2014 Jenkins signalled his virtuousness by embracing the cause du jour. All things LGBTQ+. In an interview in the Standard he announced Barclays would be the headline sponsor of Pride in London.

“While Jenkins forecasts it could take five to 10 years to restore the reputation of the bank, its reputation as a diverse employer has already won plaudits, not least from campaigning group Stonewall.”

He also boasted that in 2014, “The bank ran the British finance industry’s first transgender-awareness event at its Canary Wharf base…”

All this rainbow willy-waving was all very well but investors still demanded a return and when profits sagged in 2015 Jenkins was fired. Now the Board turned to the man they had overlooked the last time. The man Jeffrey Epstein their client had urged them to appoint.'

Ffs.

i've typed out two posts, and deleted them.

Yep. It is perhaps a bit revealing of the reasons some men go after Mumsnet so hard.
