When are the @bbc and most mainstream media going to stop ignoring, or suppressing, the huge scandal involving Pride in Surrey - and all their friends? Do the media really imagine it is going to blow over?
G Live is a Surrey arts centre that markets to families and runs youth projects. Last year all of Pride in Surrey's directors attended it - two months after at least one of them had been arrested for raping a child. Two of them are now in jail. The rest now run Pride in Surrey
This is very good news for the women of Brighton and Hove. Well done, Sarah and thank you for your tenacity.
My court case has been resolved! I’m so happy to share that women in Brighton & Hove now have the option of single sex rape crisis therapy. This will be run by @SurvivorsnetBtn with input from me and other women survivors (1/7)
Given @SurreyPolice 's former dubious relationship with Pride in Surrey, we hope they are paying close attention to Northumbria's decision.
BREAKING: @northumbriapol have sent a letter. They have completely capitulated. No cops marching in Pride. No livery on cars or stands. No flags or lanyards. Nothing. They are abandoning it all. @RightNUFC
Another day, another health trust showing the world that their female staff don't matter to them. This time on our own doorstep. @geshNHS, how are Surrey's women supposed to trust you with our safety, privacy and dignity?
Ms Melle said: "I hugely appreciate all the support I have received from colleagues and the public. Being suspended can be a lonely place, especially when you believe you have done nothing wrong, so it means a lot. "My case is important because it highlights the fundamental…
Statement from LA SEEN: “We are pleased to hear that Surrey County Council has at last made a decision to exercise caution in respect of its long-term funding and promotion of Surrey Pride. However, we are deeply unhappy it has taken the conviction of Stephen Ireland for…
Surrey County Council has confirmed via an internal communication from CEO Terence Herbert, that it will not be funding or attending this year’s Pride in Surrey event 🧵
This is welcome news. However, SCC, along with Guildford BC, Runneymede BC and Woking Council, still have Qs to answer over their continued support for an org after repeated warnings of safeguarding failures.

The law is clear: “sex” in the Equality Act means biological sex. The Supreme Court judgment is the law. EHRC’s updated code will be useful, but it does not override the immediate obligation to comply. Duty bearers must act now.👇🏽 sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
It was a wonderful event. Afghan women and girls have not been forgotten 💜
A beautiful afternoon with women who turned out to show how much they care for our Afghan sisters 🥰 @WRNAfghanistan @WomensRightsNet #NoToTaliban #DontForgetAboutAfghanWomen
So we will ask again..... And also @Surreyheath and @reigatebanstead
Our Qs to @SurreyCouncil @wokingcouncil @GuildfordBC @RunnymedeBC @ZoeFranklinLD Terence Herbert,Julia McShane and Andrew Pritchard are: Do you believe Surrey's LGBTQ+ youth deserve the same scrutiny of safeguarding needs as all children & young people should have? We do 11/12
Thank you, Kate Harris from @AllianceLGB for saying this. @SurreyCouncil @RunnymedeBC @GuildfordBC @wokingcouncil have serious Qs to answer on their continued support for an org that has shown little interest in improving its safeguarding protocol.
‘In an organisation the worst thing that can happen is that one of your key people turns out to be a paedophile. ‘But no one in Surrey, in Pride in Surrey, in BBC Surrey, Surrey County Council, in Surrey Police, nobody seems to be saying: ‘Oh my God - what has just happened?’
Congratulations to Allison Bailey on this important win.
Press Release: I am pleased to announce that I have won my case against Linnaeus Veterinary Limited, trading as Palmerston Veterinary Group, for unlawful discrimination in the provision of goods and services due to my gender critical beliefs. It is the first judgment of its…
Surrey Police, following the evidence, were able to ensure the conviction of Ireland and Sutton. If anyone has any evidence that others engaged in criminal acts please contact the Police on 101 or online. If you don’t have any evidence then it’s time to turn your attention to…
I’d suggest (and I really can’t do more than suggest) that those in local authorities (such as Surrey Heath and Guildford) who have been particularly supportive of PIS should be asking questions and looking at whether continued support of, eg, the event in Guildford this…
