Stonewall: Investing In Death

Stonewall have just launched their new subsite - Proud Employers.
"Jobs with LGB friendly employers".
No T for trans - natch.
Proud Employers main "Founding Partner" is Barclays.
Barclays are the biggest UK investor in the arms trade - worth £7.3 billion (War On Want).
Which would buy you a hell of a lot of cluster bombs.
The second founding partner is Credit Suisse - the tax-dodger's friend.
Third are the Earth-destroying crooks at BP.
So fucking proud!

    Why haven't they included trans I wonder?
    That seems totally shitty.

  3. Stonewall see their main political aim as having been accomplished. Now they just want to make a bit of cash.

    Cluster-bombs have now been banned though, so it's unlikely they'll be buying very many.

  4. I am getting rather sick of those so called gays and their relationships with vile multinationals like Barclays.

    I was reading that mag the other day produced by hose tits over at Square Peg Media, I have now made a commitment to remove any copies from venues I frequent. And would like to invite your readers to do the same. who gives a shit about how unethical their business is as long as they are nice to The Gays.

  5. ^^^ "Despite global calls for a ban, banks continue pumping billions into cluster munitions, including two of Britain’s biggest names: HSBC has underwritten $665 million bonds for Textron, the US firm which claims its products leave a “clear battlefield.” Barclays Bank lent $222 million, as well as funding Lockheed Martin."
