GCHQ Dumps Stonewall As Trump’s Anti-DEI Drive Triggers a Funding Crisis

The British spy agency GCHQ has cut ties with Stonewall as the charity faces a funding crisis fuelled by Trump’s anti-diversity push. The Telegraph has the story.

GCHQ, which is responsible for the UK’s signals intelligence, is no longer a member of the group’s corporate diversity programme, it is understood, despite once being a vocal champion of the scheme.

A reference to the agency’s status as a “Stonewall Diversity Champion” on its careers website was removed after GCHQ was contacted by the Telegraph.

The decision has emerged as Stonewall faces a funding crisis triggered by Mr Trump, who has declared his intention to “destroy the deep state”. Elon Musk has gutted US overseas aid spending as part of his government efficiency drive. Stonewall’s largest funder in recent years has been the US State Department. …

Stonewall has said the US Government is pursuing an “agenda that will spread hate and fear”.

GCHQ’s decision to severe ties with the charity comes against a backdrop of strain on the relations between the “five eyes” intelligence alliance – made up of the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Peter Navarro, a senior adviser to Mr Trump, last week reportedly proposed kicking Canada out of the group as a trade war tactic. …

Dozens of government departments and organisations have abandoned their Stonewall memberships since the pandemic, having once paid thousands of pounds to rank among its top 100 LGBT-friendly employers.

GCHQ last featured on Stonewall’s top 100 list in 2018 and was listed as a “diversity champion”.

Britain’s other security agencies have also featured prominently as backers of Stonewall. MI5 ranked as number four on the list in 2019 and MI6 was ranked number 88 in 2020. None have featured since.

Our Intelligence Services ought to be highly discriminatory…

It is quite amusing to see the poodle uncertain as to whether he should empty his bladder or his bowels first. Like that look on Starmer’s face when Trump asked him if he could take on the Russians without American support. He giggled but he really didn’t know whether to slash or crap.

Trump’s anti-diversity push.

That’s not the way I read it. It’s an anti-DEI push. I don’t think he’s anti-diversity – he just objects to it being a goal in its own right.

True, but also why must we be diverse? Please see the Chinese, Russian and Indian space teams. Why are they not diverse? Also, the Indian teams that come to work in Britain are entirely Indian.

Our elites are colonially convinced that we must lead the world in everything. They must enlighten the rest of the pesky, wayward, primitive world.. It’s the western elites’ divine right, you see.

The path that this country is on. It is almost as if the architect had set it up to be the example of what can go wrong in difficult times. I mean so softened up and demoralised by an extremely well-funded hundred year old scientifically crafted propaganda model. I get interesting answers when I ask foreigners to describe the British in one word – some say jaded and some say contented. Up until quite recently it was a culture that moaned a lot but was generally content to be left alone.

Oh dear. How sad. I hope they all end up on the dole and Stonewall collapses forever. Disgusting that this organisation was kept alive by US left-state funding.

Stonewall collapsing is not good enough. It ought to be outlawed and its members prosecuted for industrial-scale child abuse.

What does the bootlicker do when the master no longer appreciates the obeisance. I have no doubt that the British were behind the assassination attempts given the resources that they gave to Kamala Harris before the election. It would be good if Trump could set aside a bit of land and sympathertic Brits could move to it and within a few years there would be pubs and bawdy houses and much merriment.

You will be able to do this in Britain, when the Electricity runs out.

No, that is what Stonewall is (was) good at. It is important GCHQ hire the best people that will protect our national interests. Hiring quotas are not in our national interest.

Stonewall did its job, it did a great thing for recognition of equality for Gay people, but it lost its way with Trans in its desperation to stay in business. It ruined all that it had stood for.

Better and better. If pulling the funding stops Stonewall going into schools and abusing young children with their lies about changing gender, so much the better.

People can change gender fives times per day if they want to because that’s an entirely artificial construct solely made up for this purpose. What they can’t is change their sex.

Stonewall is an organization dedicated to spreading fear among and hate against mankind, namely, the +99.99% members of it who accept that they were born with a certain sex and are thus physically and psychically different in various ways from people born as the other sex. This fundamental bit of personal identity of every human who accepts that he’s just another mammal and not a social construct invented by Stonewall social construct invention experts is something Stonewall wants to deny to everyone and it will muster whatever forces of social terrorization and state oppression it can in order to scare people so much that they voluntarily refrain from asserting their own identity. In particular, Stonewall is dedicated to terrorizing vulnerable underage children to buy into its weird religion, adding some hate crime incidents to the non-crime hate incidents which makes up its bread and butter.

About time? Too late. The civil service is also captured, so deeply that there is really no way out. The trans ideology has captured the gouvernement and a lot of NGO’s, plus charities, so deeply that it will take 100 light years to reverse course.

‘Stonewall has said the US Government is pursuing an “agenda that will spread hate and fear”.

It is Stonewall that has been pursuing an ‘agenda that will spread hate and fear’.
