ScotGov and Bad Faith Actors

The SNP Government is heavily involved with a number of the key players in the sex vs gender debate including Stonewall.

Stonewall successfully persuaded Scottish Ministers into removing the word 'mother' from the government's maternity policy - see post below.  

But how can it be fair or in 'good faith' for Scottish Ministers to be paying a lobbying organisation to lobby the Scottish Government on this kind of contentious policy issue?

ScotGov - LGBTI funding and partners

We work with a range of organisations to promote equality of opportunity and inclusion for LGBTI people, including:

We consult with communities through LGBTI organisations to help develop our understanding of the ways in which discrimination and prejudice affect LGBTI people's lives. And to encourage people to help us develop policy that addresses them.





 

Scottish Ministers, Lobbying Groups and Public Money? ()

SNP ministers fund Stonewall - a powerful, well-resourced lobbying organisation. 

Stonewall gets privileged access to Scottish Ministers and subsequent ScotGov policy begins to align closely with the policies of Stonewall.

Does this strike anyone else as very odd and in urgent need of independent investigation, perhaps by Audit Scotland?

Stonewall are now trying to say this didn't happen, but here's a great tweet from David Thompson exposing the fact that Stonewall did pressurise Scottish Ministers into removing the word 'mother' from their maternity policy.

No wonder the Scottish Government are trying to keep their dealings with Stonewall secret and under wraps.

The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. 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...
