High Street banks have sparked concern over links to diversity schemes run by controversial charity Stonewall.
It has emerged that the majority of high street lenders are members of the schemes amid a backlash over the closure of bank accounts of some people with gender-critical views.
Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme includes guidance for employers on gender-neutral spaces and the use of pronouns.
The charity also hosts a top 100 index which keep tabs on employers and their diversity and inclusion.
It comes after a vicar who queried his building society’s Pride branding had his account closed and a Scottish blogger claims his account was shut due to his opinions on gender issues.

“There are no requirements in the Diversity Champions programme over how members engage with any customers, and we do not seek to influence operational decisions for any Diversity Champion on matters such as these.”
And if they did not shut the accounts down there would have been protests outside the banks… you can bank on it…
This concept is quite old. The NAZI’s came up with the ‘Juden Boykott’ which urged, with violence and menace, Germans not to buy from Jewish businesses.
The endless boycotts we see now are just more of the same, accelerated by the internet.
That no one has made the connection is frightening.
It’s all seen as good woke fun when the so called ‘progressives’ are doing it but how will it be seen when the extreme right wing does it when it gains its ascendency next?
The cancel culture sees nothing wrong with destroying careers and businesses. It celebrates it.
At its core this is just about power. Nothing more, nothing less.
