1./ If you've finished 'Call My Agent' and need more laughs in your life here's some comedy. @pinknews that parody of a news site is trying to police who speaks for gays as it denounces (yet again) a prominent woman. This time it's @KemiBadenoch who dared to meet @ALLIANCELGB👇

2./ The headline is surely a joke itself since the "secret meeting" was listed on a government website. Not as much of a joke though as the fact @openDemocracy who "broke" the story list 3 writers for what must have been a 5 minute use of a search engine.👇opendemocracy.net/en/5050/uk-equ…

3./ As you'd expect P News lift it word for word and then sprinkle some of their own froth on it plus anything else @MrJohnNicolson has invented during an evening's convivial tweeting. Since John and PN are both serial fantasists here's the truth (again).👇

4./ John also fancies himself as an arbiter of who gets to speak for gay people. Recently, this included him warning of a global conspiracy by LGB Alliance to take over the SNP. You couldn't make up idiocy like this. Unless you were John Nicolson that is.👇

5./ Apparently, the killer clue that proved LGB Alliance must be the secret puppetmasters was the fact they used a website service also used by the promoters of a slate of SNP candidates. But so do 20 million other people; including Beyoncé. Perhaps she was the mastermind?🤪

6./ @pinknews claims @dawes_melanie of Ofcom agreed LGB Alliance was beyond the pale. She'd recently seemed to suggest as much. But she clarified to @DamianGreen this wasn't her view. Confused? Not half as much as Pink News seemed to be.👇

7./ In a recent FoI guess who's shown to have been meeting up with @ALLIANCELGB? Yup. That'll be @dawes_melanie of @Ofcom. I know we don't expect the interns at Pink News to do any actual research but this is spectacularly dumb even for them.👇whatdotheyknow.com/request/influe…

8./ If Melanie Dawes is consulting with this LGB organisation why would an Equalities Minister not? Let down by logic and facts Vic Parsons turns instead to some daft activists to support their argument including the Lib Dems' @LGBTLD Who could they be you might ask?

9./ They're the morons who thought Aimee Challoner should speak for gay people when she left the Greens after failing to tell them her agent (her dad) was charged with raping and torturing a child in the attic of the house Aimee lived in.👇independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

10./ Over at @openDemocracy they quote @LGBTIQAGreens expressing deep concern about Badenoch meeting LGB Alliance. Did they ever express deep concern about Aimee being THEIR chair for 2 years? Did @stonewalluk for whom she devised policy for the Girl Guides? What do u think?

11./ For 2 years while she was @LGBTIQAGreens chair Aimee failed to alert people to the charges against her father, allowing him to meet young people at Coventry Pride with whom he volunteered and at Green Party meetings. Here's the internal report 👇greenparty.org.uk/assets/images/…

12./ After Aimee's father was jailed for 20 years she continued to be treated seriously as an LGBTQ spokesperson in the Lib Dems including in their in house magazine, where her articles including on children are still online.👇 libdemvoice.org/why-the-nation…

13./ Aimee wasn't responsible for the crimes of her father but her lack of judgment on child safeguarding was appalling. Yet her views on LGBT policy including on young people was considered reliable enough by people who are now fretting about LGB Alliance having a meeting? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

14./ Spoiler alert. Aimee was later thrown out of the Lib Dems after she became engaged to a man whose twitter account explored fantasies about sex with children, including rape. She claimed the account had been hacked. 👇 coventryobserver.co.uk/news/exclusive…

15./ Maybe Lib Dems were worried about pictures of their bold activist alongside their brave pro Self-ID leader? At least they didn't give her a senior role at a Youth charity like @PrismLGBTQ did. But hey Aimee's legacy lives on and I wonder if you can guess where....

16./ Pink News loves to dredge up comments from the past people have forgotten to wipe. But type in Aimee Challoner on the Pink News site and what do you get? Well, here's Aimee Challoner quoted as an authority arguing against the retention of single sex spaces. 👇

17./ Here's another about a petition "chastising" Pride for the protest in 2018 against lesbian erasure. The letter's organiser was none other than Aimee Challenor, who was herself blatantly attempting to police who could speak for lesbians and gay people.👇

18./ Aimee was an exception but she stands as a perfect example of the double standards of the LGBTQ+ enforcers who insist only their voices should be heard. They'll overlook almost anything from someone who signs up to gender identity claptrap. Even Tatchell's views on consent.

19./ But dare to challenge the orthodoxy and a pack of silencers is released. The attacks on @BoyzMagazine are a case in point, hounded almost out of business for suggesting its readers might watch a webinar. But the gatekeepers' tactics are proving counter-productive.

20./ If they were smart they'd debate our arguments and challenge them. But that would reveal how confused and incoherent they are so they're forced to try to silence us. The trouble for them is the public is watching. And it doesn't like what it sees. Bullies are never popular.

21./ The hilarious thing is Pink News has campaigned against LGB Alliance since we started in Oct 2019. To no avail. By July we were meeting Government ministers. Might I suggest you donate (if you can) to help us keep proving Pink News wrong? lgballiance.org.uk/donate/
