Lying unreservedly
This again. The BBC needs to learn to call it out as well as stop doing it itself.
Charity boss apologises to rape survivors over crisis centre failings
But declines to step down, so her apology is fake as a 3 dollar bill.
A charity chief executive has apologised “unreservedly” to rape survivors affected by failings at support centre in Edinburgh.
Bollocks. She has nothing but reservations.
Sandy Brindley, of Rape Crisis Scotland, said she found out the centre was not following national standards last October and paused referrals 11 months later when the review said safeguarding was a problem.
So she did nothing for 11 months. What a peach.
She told BBC Scotland’s Drivetime programme there was no reason why transgender people could not work in rape support centres, but that services must also provide women-only spaces.
That’s the part where smoke came out of my ears, yet again. The issue is not “transgender people”; the issue is men. She knows this of course, she just refuses to stop cheating and sidestepping and playing games this way. Fuck her apology.
This will sum up JKR’s reaction, too. If Brindley doesn’t fall on her sword, Rowling’s going to make her wish she had. I can hardly wait.
I’m sure Brindley will have a fine future working for some company that knowingly sells cars that explode, or airplanes that fall out of the sky.
