Hey Stonewall - Leave Our Kids Alone!

I get the feeling that the long overdue backlash against Stonewall is gathering pace, but given recent revelations in 'Nolan Investigates', for example, it's quite right that the influential lobbying groups comes under rigorous public scrutiny.

 

Nolan Investigates - Stonewall (October 18, 2021)

I decided to send some feedback to the BBC over the series of 'Nolan Investigates' podcasts into the activities of Stonewall - which I'm still working my way through.

Apparently there is a campaign underway to complain about the programme which just goes to show that some folks are all in favour of scrutiny except when it puts their own behaviour under the spotlight. 

"I would like to congratulate the BBC over its hard-hitting, eye opening investigation into the activities of Stonewall. 

"To my mind this is investigative journalism of the highest order which has shone a light on the corridors of power and into places where others fear to tread. 

"The behaviour of the BBC itself has been put under the spotlight along with politicians, civil servants and ministers whose cosy relationship with Stonewall is, at long last, being held to account." 

Here's the link I used to contact the BBC.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
