Misogynist Jolyon Maugham continues his misogynist “activism.”
I find Jolyon Maugham’s repeated targeting of @ALLIANCELGB truly disgusting. Since when did it become respectable for a heterosexual man to target a lesbian led organisation in this way? For a barrister, Queen’s Counsel, to defame LGBA as a hate group is utterly contemptible. pic.twitter.com/bJr8d5HjbA
In cheering Friday news, we've found a very effective way to challenge the baffling decision of the Charity Commission to subsidise the activities of a transphobic hate group with your taxes.
Maugham’s statement that the Charity Commission supports LGB Alliance activities through taxes is blatantly false. What the LGBA’s charitable status means is that it can reclaim the tax previously paid by its donors on their donations. The money the CC receives is the donors’ money, not the Government’s, or the Charity Commission’s. The CC is the regulator, not a source of funding. It is impossible for a tax lawyer such as Maugham not to know this. So the only conclusion is that he is deliberately misleading the gullible. We must hope they feel let down when the challenge fails.
