Time to dismantle the wall.

Appalling mission creep. Stonewall is now unrecognisable to many of it’s founders. Matthew Parris writes very well on this subject in The Spectator.In fact their flabbergasting ‘over-reach’ is a textbook example of how such organisations work/end-up: their initial aims have long since been realised, but the power and success has gone to their heads.These are people who are NEVER wrong, possessed of the absolute certainty of the Jihadi, unable to apologise or admit fault, and with total contempt for any who question their activities.Now? Rather than campaigning for a genuinely worthy goal they have morphed into one of the greatest threats to free-speech and civil liberties this country has ever seen.Thankfully this has begun to be recognised. Many organisations are breaking ties and distancing themselves from these horrifying zealots.Time to dismantle the wall.

Anti-Trans Cowards

Since appointing Conservative Iain Anderson as Chair of Trustees, Stonewall has taken disturbing and disgusting anti-trans stances on several occasions. The most recent was their cowardly and disgusting statement on the Cass Review.That disgusting, supposedly independent review was co-authored by Dr. Langton - who uses GET, a form of conversion therapy. It was so 'neutral' and 'independent' that it excluded decades worth of research on gender affirming care and 'independently' decided to recommend the form of conversion therapy it's co author practices.Patients subjected to GET describe it as both pointless and traumatic.And yet, cowardly, pathetic Stonewall, instead of fighting the Cass Review, and its recommendation to use a form of therapy that causes suicidal ideation, supported it. Stonewall supported the NHS' plans to use conversion therapy on trans children. It's unbelievably disgusting.

Quisling Stonewall

While trans people are being threatened with extermination in America and Europe, which emanates from American MAGA Nazis - to save its business model Stonewall has thrown trans people under the bus. Stonewall still wants your money.

Media reports UK nearly bankrupt

Media reports UK nearly bankrupt They have lost focus and support The media UK has reported a drop in Autotrader shares price.This is commonly called going South.The reverse in money terms is the shares going North. That means a good bet/ return in money terms.UK media reported shares going South. ( A negative drop). On an upwards trajectory they would be going north.Hopefully this clarifies why Autotrader has asked me to explain my one star review and comments
