Here's an interesting photo from 2012 at Edinburgh City Chambers - Jo Swinson MP, Patrick Harvie MSP, Sarah Boyack MSP and Tim Hopkins of Equality Network, along with PIE member John Hein.

Ian Dunn, from the article above, was a co-founder of PIE. He was also director of this company, alongside John Hein and Tim Hopkins of Equality Network. The registered address is also the same address Equality Network was incorporated at.
And here's 'Saint Tim' celebrating his honorary degree with John Hein, also known for the Order of Perpetual Indulgence - a group for queers of all sexualities, including anyone living an 'unacceptable' lifestyle.

There's more, lots more. Surely there's an investigative journalist out there interested in tying it altogether...?
And then there's David 'meeting a 12 yo boy because he's a volunteer for LGBT Youth Scotland' Jackson who was caught in a sting by paedo hunters - though deemed a set up and walked free from court.

Equality Network now at 30 Bernard St where, according to latest accounts, it looks like they only pay £930 in rent/utilities. Their 'project' Scottish Trans Alliance pays £9212 in rent - which is strange as their website shows the same address.

EN advertise LGBT Centre, Broughton St on their website archive.ph/dwh9H which deeds show property owned by the same co Hein (PIE member)/Dunn (PIE founder)/Hopkins (EN Director) were directors of. Hein is an ultimate beneficiary who owns the property if co dissolves.
As Martin said, Hein's home address in Montgomery St is used to register thousands of shell companies. A quick search on Companies House for 58a Broughton St shows over 10,000 companies registered at that address too.
What is going on..?

In amongst the huge list of possible shell companies at 58a Broughton St, is Pride Edinburgh, of which John Hein is Director of Finance, and Pride Scotia of which he is the March Co-ordinator.
Pride Edinburgh is of course sponsored by LGBT Youth and and provides a platform for Tim Hopkins, Equality Network, and many MSPs, including Patrick Harvie.

Stonewall announced a "by-women-for-women" meeting at Parliament on 4th June that is co-hosted by Angela Constance MSP and Equality Network (an LGBT organisation):



Here's the invite:
Framing this as "by-women-for-women" is exceptionally disingenuous when the invite clearly says this is not for women's rights at all, but instead to support proposals for self-id of sex.
Just who are these orgs who are purportedly speaking for women and are at pains to support self-id on our behalf?

Let's look at the trans orgs first..

@AngelaHaggerty said on @ScotlandTonight that women’s orgs “have been consulting”, and “services..are saying this is not a problem” to the @WG_Scotland survey that found increases in women self-excluding from women-only services because of intact males who self-id as women.
So I had a search..
First survey form 2010 by the now disbanded Women’s National Commission which included 650 UK women’s sector orgs.
web.archive.org/web/2011081809…
It found that 99% (of the 297 women-only service users and providers asked) value women-only services:
The main points raised are:

@ForwomenScot @EdinburghCC LGBT Youth Scotland is registered as a lobbying organisation, ie. they are a political pressure group who try to influence public policy in the interest of their particular cause. 1/
@ForwomenScot @EdinburghCC Schools have a duty to comply with Sections 406 and 407 of the Education Act 1996, which forbids "the promotion of partisan political views..." /2
@ForwomenScot @EdinburghCC There's also a requirement in the Prevent Duty and Teaching Controversial Issues for Schools which places a duty on schools to “secure that where political issues are brought to the attention of pupils… they are offered a balanced presentation of opposing views”. /3

This next flag thread is CITY FLAGS OF AMERICA by STATE

Okay, so today we're not going to do the flag thread, because this one is _really huge_. Today, we're going to talk about how I'm going to do it, and what that means.
My normal resource for this is straight up looking at these things on wikipedia, and that's a great, useful resource but contributed by fans and enthusiasts.

It also presents a problem of scale.
Some states-and-territories have a tiny number of city flags; some have an ENORMOUS number. Obviously. I mean, Wyoming has two major cities! Some places that have like, more people than Iceland, have more cities!

To add to @WG_Scotland excellent summary of the orgs which tacitly, or otherwise, condone VAG, we should like to add this example. As it concerns a publicly funded org & in light of welcome commitment to listen to women, perhaps @NicolaSturgeon and @S_A_Somerville could take note
Recently, threats against FWS were reported in the press. These led to charges being made against at least one individual. In the aftermath, TPS issued a stement designed to inflame rather than calm the conversation.
They also allowed several comments supporting violent action action and revolting comments against women to stand on their SM while removing FB comments even mildly critical of the violent atmosphere.
