In statistical terms these people should be buying lottery tickets by the bucket load. They are very, very, very lucky people and the types of coincidences really are quite fantastically remarkable. Quite worthy of note. What lucky individuals they appear to be! Time and time again!
One day the people propping all this up will get their comeuppance. 🤞In meantime women and children are being harmed and it’s time more people were angry.
Mr wadhwa is not the only problem here, who exactly appointed a male for a female only job? Brindley is a trans activist and should be sacked and jailed for misconduct in a public office, but again Brindley is not the only problem either. The board that appointed him and her should be investigated by the charities commission and disbanded, it must be looked into so that no board can appoint a male, no matter what he calls himself, dresses, or mentally thinks he is. No male born person need apply shoukd be the mantra for this service. If trans activists want this kind of service it must be for trans identifying people only and they can fund raise for it themselves. It seems that not only wadhwa but his partner made thousands of pounds from his grift in the ERRC. I would prefer Beiras place to be funded to do this work, independent of government control as I blame the insane greens and the poison dwarf for this debacle. There is no telling how much damage has been done to women and girls by wadwha and his unfit for office cohorts.
Putting a monetary value on the damage - I legitimately put it in the billions. If it continues it will be trillions. We can easily cost this and in the bottom line that all these callous, selfish, self-serving monsters like - loss to the economy and harm deliberately created in our most actually vulnerable populations so a few can slither up their career ladders and their pals can create businesses to fleece naive governments and the third sector. For many it was planned, for many they were lazy and took their eyes off the ball. Some are too weak to stand up to it. Some sectors, if not most, are entirely corrupted and run on behalf of these zombie trans activists. The NHS, Education, local and national government, the law and entire criminal justice system. The Unions and 'representative bodies' who are no such thing but captured vessels. It will take a while to pick this rot out, and even longer if we don't start and argue about what it is that has been rotting our institutions and every area of civic life.
Look at the Pritzker billionaires in the USA - fully signed up to and promoting child mutilation - to profit their various enterprises. Under the guise of awarding charity/foundation funds, they corrupt people utterly.
Look at the Sacklers! Woops. When a source of income withers or isn't as sweated as it once was, another has to be found. And if there isn't a known source, or one that can be stolen, taken over, or bought, or acquired, one must be created...
Let's artwash this, or greenwash it, or sociallyacceptablepoliticallyfluffywash it. Let's transwash it! Pinknbluewash it! Get some glitter on it quick!! It must be good/fair/equal/right/all nice things...right? Yes! And we make billions! And it costs you billions! And yet we convince you it's good for you! HAHAHAHA
Unfortunately in Scotland, OSCR tends to look at financial mismanagement and leave governance, safeguarding and protection issues to the Care Commission. Time for a change in legislation to make sure there is proper due diligence done before the Scotyish Government hands over money from the public purse. It happens in some government silos, but not all.
Exactly. We're still, and again, at the worried finger-pointing-it-wasnae-me-guv-you-shoulda-done-something stage even from the top layers of what are supposed to be our governments and governing bodies. From famously failing, underfunded bodies or those regulators we know are in a total mess themselves. Oh, will you do it? No, not strictly us, it's not really you, who does it? Silence. A few more years pass. On it rolls. They all do this every time there is a big inquiry - then twenty and thirty years later it is 'revealed' that oh it really shouldn't have happened like that, laws were broken by duty holders etc. By the police, government departments, often everyone involved. It's mass incompetence and people are harmed and die. Some of us are trying to get accountability for those that need it - the families and victims. And when it matters not two generations later. We see this time and time again and it happens in plain sight when those who should don't, then shift blame, deny, shift some more, then leave and suddenly retire, resign, or go beyond our weak systems. Where does the buck stop. I am glad the voters in Scotland voted the way they did and gave the SNP and Greens a bloody nose. And if the systems are rigged, we need to change those. And also not get trapped in petty nationalism which means the creeps get in the cracks and pick us off even more. I don't care who comes to my aid when I need it and I hope the reverse is true.
But he won't. These men have their own system of morals and ethics and pay senior people to skirt the - our - 'law' for them. We need a few MPs to go after this like they did with 'Sir' Philip Green. They have the ability to do so with Parliamentary privilege if anyone is brave enough to do it with this scandal. And importantly from a cross-bench, cross-party perspective from all parts of the UK and wider. In every Parliament across the world please.
That money is long gone and feathered their nests. They are busy making more and on their next target, while stopping their mountains being taken from them. Sod the rest of us and all those they made their money purporting to 'support'.
Just imagine what it must be like to be the ex-wife of a "Mridul." Men who ideate a female persona a few years into their marriages are violent to the wife about 1/3 of the time, according to my ongoing study of trans widows who answered my survey, 20 Questions to Ask a Trans Widow. Typically, trans widows resort to couch surfing after the escape, as the ideology has so thoroughly been indoctrinated in most shelters. Like Mridul, these men accuse women of violence, conflate truthful statements with physical assault and they will not admit they're co-opting femaleness for the sake of a sexual fetish. I will continue taking data from trans widows for the rest of my active life. We're up to 60, with several surveys out to recently betrayed trans widows.
More commonly, people lie about their academic qualifications. However, a man lying about his sex in order to obtain a job specifically reserved for a woman is still engaging in fraud.
Of course it is. But if no one senior enough decides to take that course of action, nothing is done. Anyone who complained or pointed out what you have just done was accused, vilified, then had actions taken and employment and other laws used against them. It is astonishing the protective cloak that man wore and I suspect still does - it's an odd mix of a few old tales like the Emperor's New Clothes and Jason's technicolour one. With a large dollop of invisibility protecting this man - for years and years. He is still being protected. Because how did this happen? How was he ever allowed to do this with the complete support of them? Those in senior roles in Scotland whose only role seemed to protect him and deflect all attention from what he has been doing and saying in plain sight. To openly bully and abuse any woman who risked telling the truth about him and the cabal propping him and his like up. Add in scapegoats. Power corrupting absolutely. No scrutiny, no accountability. And the other men who creep under this umbrella and got the prison service and police and other women to act like they have been, targeting anyone, and in particular women who disagree with them. The NHS, the BMA, the Universities, social services. All that simpering social media, we're sending love, we're with you, you're so brave crap from other women! It's vile. Ooh they were reporting anyone, so they got the law changed to give them the figleaf of justification to silence yet more people and silence them better this time.
Madhwa resigned and is currently director and founder of Vahonomy Ltd along with his husband -previous director of SACRO (and one other). The company says its core purpose is Electric vehicle charging station contractor. Let's hope the third director has some expertise in the business, since neither Wadhwa and partner has none.
I can find no official verification but the company seems to have been awarded contracts worth several million.
So the good news is he is out of the VAWG sector. But, grifters gotta grift.
Only today, Sandy Brindley is currently in denial about the calls for her to go. She's "unaware" according to an article in the Daily Record.
Brindley is unbelievablely tone deaf. One very nasty woman.
I have been trying to blow the whistle on this for a while. Why is someone trying to make money from a newer, 'greener' transport system and lucrative infrastructure contracts had his fingers in this pie? Who benefits? The politicians in the 'Green' Party and SNP, who are no such thing. That would be...him and him. Oh, and him and him. And him. And her.
We need to uncouple 'Green' from all this urgently and totally. We need genuine discussions based on evidence, for the benefit of us, our people, our countries, our world and our futures. That's not these 'Green' zealots who are a front for 'Trans' in every country they pop up in - Germany, New Zealand, Scotland, England. They corrupt the much needed environmental action we need and place it in the conspiracy theory political basket so no one believes anyone and women get threatened and attacked by men, being cheered on by those who pretend it's about 'first people' and 'green' and 'sustainability' when it's the total opposite.
The Greens in NEW Zealand are the pits. I was at Albert Park when the anti women activists attacked us. The Green Party mailed out their members list to come and green mps and candidates were there with the misogynists.
Thank you JL. He is being allowed to quietly resign now with no sanction, in the kindest and best way for him. With what financial settlement? What pension? What cushy package? After the destruction of the sector he and his puppet masters enabled. Which affected services and women and girls all over the UK. They tried to destroy the sector and destroyed trust. Destroy us. Likely worldwide as they used his appointment as evidence to encourage it to happen everywhere. And the 'guilty feminists' all jumped onboard. What twists women to support men like him to do this to other fellow women? Reading through - they turned ERCC from a rape crisis centre for women - ta da! Into ERCC, an ego-stroking money-sucking centre for narcissistic abusive men. They literally flipped it inside out in plain sight, from supporting victims to supporting abusers, then blamed and harassed the women and men daring to notice.
This is such a perfect example of the flesh-eating rot that burrowed deep within all our services and therefore our lives under the guise, the mask, the cover of ‘inclusion’. Inclusion only seems to have one meaning now - for yet more abusive men. It reflects the very poorly constructed Equality Act as apparently everyone now in effect has no idea what a woman or female is, and enough doubt was seeded and therefore we have no protections. We would have very strong protections, exemptions and spaces if that hadn't been drafted and applied as it has and is being. Why do these men need so much more protection? And to in effect have triple protection (male, female, gender reassignment) which they have only used to attack us, silly, mean, nasty actual women and girls? Men developed another way to attack women, remove our rights, all under some additional delusion that they are triply protected to do so? I bet Andrew Tate is annoyed he didn't think of this business model.
Staff were scared. Women were scared. Which was deliberate and sanctioned and enthusiastically encouraged by the Scottish political world, with their supporters across the UK and across the world. Hold them all to account.
In the Third Sector at least, there is no money for cushy packages or financial settlements outwith holiday pay owing. He wasnt made redundant so no payout there. But he was allowed to resign which means he goes with references which, I doubt, will be honest. And so he will be free to start again when his story is chip paper and people have forgotten, which is plain immoral.
I have suggested a visualisation linking spiderweb map of this bunch - they are all connected, they all serve on lots of boards and committees and their power is controlled and contained within a remarkably few hands. They are partnered and socialise with each other. They switch from one to another role and it's revolving doors. It is astonishing work that JL does and those who investigate this have been showing the evidence for a while yet strangely very few are listening. We need just a few more, then a few more to listen and importantly to act. And not tomorrow, tomorrow, but now (should have been yesterday).
This makes me want to be physically sick. And to think the SNP tried to bring in self-id. Shame on every person who supported them in this and still does.
I've read through your links also, and some of the comments.
Without the ideology attached, this would be a best-seller in publishing, social media and news journalism would sell papers and documentary series making millions from this, blockbuster academy award winning movie with big names cheering it on would be classics for eras to come.
Governments and companies would feel the ripples well after corrupting sources have been ousted and rotten institutions toppled.
I would like to think a scandal of this magnitude featuring such an aggressive, bad faith, dangerous, duplicitous and harmful perpetrator would never have been permitted to happen outside the nightmarish world of Genderland or go on for so long.
Also, if this were a cis-on-cis scandal with no nexus to gender identity ideology, the criminal justice system would descend upon the accused with a fury that would make him wish he'd never been born. I hope that happens to the despicable Mridul Wadha.
In a nutshell (pun intended) truth matters. The truth of his sex and no GRC; the truth of his lying about his sex and trans identity on the job application form; his true motive for wanting to run a rape crisis centre and punish any woman who complains - namely, extreme arrogance and misogyny - and the wider truth about ALL the women who have back-stabbed their way to the top by siding with men against women in this shit show (and others), all the 'guilty feminists' who, in truth, are faux feminists who feel no guilt whatsoever about selling out their sisters.
And whenever I read comments BTL online and heard men slagging off 'feminists' over the last decade it's most likely these faux and fashionable 'guilty feminists' that they think we are (but we aren't). Just because we are women. A fair few times if we can get to actually talk we end up agreeing - that's men and women, older and younger - and all is revealed and it seems these plasticgendered women who call themselves whatever wave 'feminists' are the key part of exactly how these fetishistic men got so powerful. Without the cover of these often 'academic' 'feminists' this genderzealotry would have blown itself out. They gave cover to them, supported and distracted, claimed all the funding and took over academia so to the casual observer not steeped in the theory it seemed oh well, women want this, so as they are women we must let them. Surely they must speak for all women. Then we are always accused of squabbling amongst ourselves, and nagging or being inconsistent. So actual other women and women's rights got lost in that. The more women got PhDs in gendershite, the further erosion there was.
It's been very hard for non-captured academic women to speak up as the trans supporting ones ensured they were targeted, harassed then kicked out. Yes, women have been saying this, yes, academic women have been, but it used to be called Women's Studies before the 'gender' brigade captured every department, then suddenly it was filled with fetishistic men (claiming a non-binary female status) writing PhDs on killing women and child abuse. To great applause from their female academic colleagues and those in the 'women's sector'. Er...when did we...er...someone...?
Yes, stirring division between women and misrepresenting feminism and feminists has long been the most effective way to weaken the movement and buoy up the patriarchy, with women, especially younger women, playing a central part in this. And academic capture has got a lot to answer for in this regard, for sure. I was twenty years in academia (studying and teaching) and by the early noughties the only feminist left in the Politics dept, with my mentor, a Dutch woman and proper feminist, having been pushed out by that time - by a cocky (male) HOD who did not respect her or her work. I left on the cusp of this shift, just as a new woman was hired to teach soft feminism or 'gender mainstreaming' as she called it. Women like her and the 'feminism is fun' or 'bad' or 'guilty' types, have been very cleverly exploited by the real movers and shakers of the patriarchy and this ultimate men's rights movement that captured and turned, among so many others, my previously feminist daughter (29). You are lucky, I think, to know many women and men of all ages who haven't been captured and corrupted by this MRM or who just refuse to discuss it. I am not so lucky there. But I don't live on Terf island. My mother is English, though, and I am seriously thinking about returning to the Motherland - not that my mother is any kind of feminist. Best not to get me started there... 🙄
Too many parallels. It's shocking how a few staff shifted about and leadership changes the culture in H&FE. There is one London Uni where the head has stated he won't let this capture it, withdrawn from the Stonewall capture scheme and has put his/the Institution's money and weight behind that. I'm not entirely convinced but the runes look good. That's literally the resource for us to meet, for conferences, rooms and security so we do that safely and has been a statement of intent. There have been an increasing number of very illustrative legal wins. I will be careful what I say but I have Australasian colleagues whose perspective is interesting. And those that grew up in dictatorships old and new which influences how brave we can be to speak up and for ourselves. There is something very special about countries, places or diminishing spaces where we can still speak. Much to be very positive about, but we need the support and context to do that - which we have and get here. Maybe as the UK and British Isles is so small and is, as you say, Terf island, that helps us be able to network and physically meet up where we can with some concentration of something (anger? haha). Having Graham set this site up has been key I think and not to be underestimated - and the links it enabled or facilitated between existing women's rights, feminist, and the newer shape of more modern rights movements.
I'm glad to hear there is ONE Uni in the UK that is not entirely in thrall to Stonewall et al. Ours are all captured as far I can see, with one male 'trans' lecturer from my old dept, at our little country's top university, recently taking sneering selfies in the Ladies; and at another Uni, an exam paper in Sociology (I think) was leaked that stated if anyone attempts to answer with 'gender critical views' they will be failed, being two glaring examples. Your word 'interesting' to describe your Australasian academic friends' position says it all. I'm VERY glad to be out of it all, though it's a bit of a case of out of the frying pan into the fire for me, as I am heading to the Melbourne Comedy Festival next year with my new show 'TransTasmanian' (AUS/NZ), arguably the most woke festival in the world. But absolutely agree that Graham and JL have helped countless stranded Terfs like us around the world to connect and feel we are not alone against this trans Goliath, tough reading though the bad news versions are. And hopefully you are right that such networking is the face of a more modern, less adversarial feminist and modern rights movement going forward. That's a nice thought. xx
Please see the note at the end if you received this post via email. Small but important change
Thanks for removing the Neil Gaiman picture from the top of the substack. It was giving me the creeps.
It’s only just been reported in the ‘news’
O ok , pure coincidence ………… I’ve just broken a rib laughing ..
In statistical terms these people should be buying lottery tickets by the bucket load. They are very, very, very lucky people and the types of coincidences really are quite fantastically remarkable. Quite worthy of note. What lucky individuals they appear to be! Time and time again!
Fantastic piece of journalism, thanks JL.
One day the people propping all this up will get their comeuppance. 🤞In meantime women and children are being harmed and it’s time more people were angry.

Brindley and mad Maggie chapman need to go as well
As of Friday ,it was still pretty murky as to whether he had just stood down as CEO but was still employed and being paid by ERCC?
JKR has also been vocal that no more public funding should be given to this body
We should never forget that this male was fully supported and feted by our treacherous, dangerous former FM
If he was paid during his leave of absence he should return it.
But he won't. These men have their own system of morals and ethics and pay senior people to skirt the - our - 'law' for them. We need a few MPs to go after this like they did with 'Sir' Philip Green. They have the ability to do so with Parliamentary privilege if anyone is brave enough to do it with this scandal.

Many thanks JL.
The end of an era that will one day be known as The Great Bullshit is getting closer :-)
I hope so. There's loadsamoney in this, however.
Perhaps there needs to be an expose following the money? That might help ensnare the enablers.
Just imagine what it must be like to be the ex-wife of a "Mridul."

I will continue taking data from trans widows for the rest of my active life. We're up to 60, with several surveys out to recently betrayed trans widows.

Keep doing your important work, Ute.
You have many followers who appreciate you Ute!
Thanks! I can't figure why Graham doesn't interview me. Am completely available. Retired, that kind of older woman! Just tending my butterfly gardens.
Love you Ute!
Lying in order to obtain employment is fraud.
More commonly, people lie about their academic qualifications. However, a man lying about his sex in order to obtain a job specifically reserved for a woman is still engaging in fraud.
Such fraud is a criminal offence. Furthermore, in addition to a criminal punishment, at least part of the salary earned can be recovered as proceeds of crime. For an example, see https://www.supremecourt.uk/press-summary/uksc-2020-0166.html
I’m still aghast the asking victims if they orgasmed. This says it all - that it’s a sexual fetish. How is that in itself not misconduct?
Of course it is. But if no one senior enough decides to take that course of action, nothing is done. Anyone who complained or pointed out what you have just done was accused, vilified, then had actions taken and employment and other laws used against them. It is astonishing the protective cloak that man wore and I suspect still does - it's an odd mix of a few old tales like the Emperor's New Clothes and Jason's technicolour one.

A point not in the article (unless I missed it) is that Professor Sharon Cowan and Sandy Brindley are partners.
I have suggested a visualisation linking spiderweb map of this bunch - they are all connected, they all serve on lots of boards and committees and their power is controlled and contained within a remarkably few hands. They are partnered and socialise with each other. They switch from one to another role and it's revolving doors.

We need just a few more, then a few more to listen and importantly to act. And not tomorrow, tomorrow, but now (should have been yesterday).
Wow!
This makes me want to be physically sick. And to think the SNP tried to bring in self-id. Shame on every person who supported them in this and still does.
This is phenomenally good reporting.
I've read through your links also, and some of the comments.
Without the ideology attached, this would be a best-seller in publishing, social media and news journalism would sell papers and documentary series making millions from this, blockbuster academy award winning movie with big names cheering it on would be classics for eras to come.
Governments and companies would feel the ripples well after corrupting sources have been ousted and rotten institutions toppled.
Maybe this will happen yet....?
Excellent, excellent reporting.
Thank you, Esther!
I would like to think a scandal of this magnitude featuring such an aggressive, bad faith, dangerous, duplicitous and harmful perpetrator would never have been permitted to happen outside the nightmarish world of Genderland or go on for so long.
Also, if this were a cis-on-cis scandal with no nexus to gender identity ideology, the criminal justice system would descend upon the accused with a fury that would make him wish he'd never been born. I hope that happens to the despicable Mridul Wadha.
In a nutshell (pun intended) truth matters. The truth of his sex and no GRC; the truth of his lying about his sex and trans identity on the job application form; his true motive for wanting to run a rape crisis centre and punish any woman who complains - namely, extreme arrogance and misogyny - and the wider truth about ALL the women who have back-stabbed their way to the top by siding with men against women in this shit show (and others), all the 'guilty feminists' who, in truth, are faux feminists who feel no guilt whatsoever about selling out their sisters.
And whenever I read comments BTL online and heard men slagging off 'feminists' over the last decade it's most likely these faux and fashionable 'guilty feminists' that they think we are (but we aren't). Just because we are women. A fair few times if we can get to actually talk we end up agreeing - that's men and women, older and younger - and all is revealed and it seems these plasticgendered women who call themselves whatever wave 'feminists' are the key part of exactly how these fetishistic men got so powerful. Without the cover of these often 'academic' 'feminists' this genderzealotry would have blown itself out. They gave cover to them, supported and distracted, claimed all the funding and took over academia so to the casual observer not steeped in the theory it seemed oh well, women want this, so as they are women we must let them. Surely they must speak for all women. Then we are always accused of squabbling amongst ourselves, and nagging or being inconsistent. So actual other women and women's rights got lost in that. The more women got PhDs in gendershite, the further erosion there was.
It's been very hard for non-captured academic women to speak up as the trans supporting ones ensured they were targeted, harassed then kicked out. Yes, women have been saying this, yes, academic women have been, but it used to be called Women's Studies before the 'gender' brigade captured every department, then suddenly it was filled with fetishistic men (claiming a non-binary female status) writing PhDs on killing women and child abuse. To great applause from their female academic colleagues and those in the 'women's sector'. Er...when did we...er...someone...?
Yes, stirring division between women and misrepresenting feminism and feminists has long been the most effective way to weaken the movement and buoy up the patriarchy, with women, especially younger women, playing a central part in this. And academic capture has got a lot to answer for in this regard, for sure. I was twenty years in academia (studying and teaching) and by the early noughties the only feminist left in the Politics dept, with my mentor, a Dutch woman and proper feminist, having been pushed out by that time - by a cocky (male) HOD who did not respect her or her work. I left on the cusp of this shift, just as a new woman was hired to teach soft feminism or 'gender mainstreaming' as she called it. Women like her and the 'feminism is fun' or 'bad' or 'guilty' types, have been very cleverly exploited by the real movers and shakers of the patriarchy and this ultimate men's rights movement that captured and turned, among so many others, my previously feminist daughter (29). You are lucky, I think, to know many women and men of all ages who haven't been captured and corrupted by this MRM or who just refuse to discuss it. I am not so lucky there. But I don't live on Terf island. My mother is English, though, and I am seriously thinking about returning to the Motherland - not that my mother is any kind of feminist. Best not to get me started there... 🙄
Too many parallels. It's shocking how a few staff shifted about and leadership changes the culture in H&FE. There is one London Uni where the head has stated he won't let this capture it, withdrawn from the Stonewall capture scheme and has put his/the Institution's money and weight behind that. I'm not entirely convinced but the runes look good. That's literally the resource for us to meet, for conferences, rooms and security so we do that safely and has been a statement of intent. There have been an increasing number of very illustrative legal wins. I will be careful what I say but I have Australasian colleagues whose perspective is interesting. And those that grew up in dictatorships old and new which influences how brave we can be to speak up and for ourselves. There is something very special about countries, places or diminishing spaces where we can still speak. Much to be very positive about, but we need the support and context to do that - which we have and get here. Maybe as the UK and British Isles is so small and is, as you say, Terf island, that helps us be able to network and physically meet up where we can with some concentration of something (anger? haha). Having Graham set this site up has been key I think and not to be underestimated - and the links it enabled or facilitated between existing women's rights, feminist, and the newer shape of more modern rights movements.
I'm glad to hear there is ONE Uni in the UK that is not entirely in thrall to Stonewall et al. Ours are all captured as far I can see, with one male 'trans' lecturer from my old dept, at our little country's top university, recently taking sneering selfies in the Ladies; and at another Uni, an exam paper in Sociology (I think) was leaked that stated if anyone attempts to answer with 'gender critical views' they will be failed, being two glaring examples. Your word 'interesting' to describe your Australasian academic friends' position says it all. I'm VERY glad to be out of it all, though it's a bit of a case of out of the frying pan into the fire for me, as I am heading to the Melbourne Comedy Festival next year with my new show 'TransTasmanian' (AUS/NZ), arguably the most woke festival in the world. But absolutely agree that Graham and JL have helped countless stranded Terfs like us around the world to connect and feel we are not alone against this trans Goliath, tough reading though the bad news versions are. And hopefully you are right that such networking is the face of a more modern, less adversarial feminist and modern rights movement going forward. That's a nice thought. xx
