It appears Stonewall have admitted to blatantly lying about the five billion figure.
Sunday night, it was a DTI figure.
Tuesday it was a Treasury Impact Assessment.
Today it’s an “extrapolation” – I guess they had to admit this as we FoIed the original documents and the Home Office already said they “didn’t recognise the £5bn figure”. Yet they had the face to accuse Pink News of being “dishonest” and running an “unethical campaign”?
Did you “extrapolate” the RadFem argument from a random lesbian you met too, Ben? And how much of the money given to you to further the LGb cause did you spend on lawyers to try to suppress the Pink News article?
Who is Stonewall accountable to anyway?
I’m actually too cross to write a proper blog post about this, so instead I’m going to leave you with a video. One that’s completely unconnected to recent talk of a protest outside the Stonewall 2010 awards. Which are on the 4th November, at the V&A in London, nearest tube South Kensington on the Piccadilly, Circle and District Lines.
Love this – you might be interested in my blog post on Stonewall’s Key Priorities 2010-11

Why are you imply Ben Summerskill has spent Stonewall money on lawyers?
You think he might have spent his own money?
I’m not aware of either, but I would like to see reason behind such a statement.
You’re aware of what happened over at Pink News?
