Just for quick context, Aimee Challenor resigned from the Lib Dems under a cloud of shit, after Aimee's father was charged for raping a 10-year-old-girl while dressed in a nappy, and Aimee continued to employ him as an agent.

So there is currently an investigation by Veritas into what happened, this has not been completed, but already welcomed with open arms into the Lib Dems.

Sickening.

FFS.
But I guess, better than Labour. (by the slightest of margins - I do like Remain after all)

The central party have no control over the LGBT section. It's a party within a party.

It will blow the party apart eventually as the culture war rolls on.

Aimee will join the LGBT Lds and that will help the obvious lack of lesbian representation
You couldn’t make this up, could you. Through the Looking Glass in the early C21st.

TrumpsToddlerTantrums · 30/09/2018 10:47

Is it because that nice Vince Cable said they'd welcome anyone to be the new leader?Grin

DHs response: "Thank God it's not Labour!"
My response: "it's just matter of time!"

That is interesting

RedToothBrush · 30/09/2018 10:37

I've just emailed the Lib Dems to say that I would like to be reassured that Aimee is not being considered for a position of responsibility within the party.

Their federal system will mean the leadership won't be able to stop it.

Aimee will join the LGBT Lds and that will help the obvious lack of lesbian representation.

There is already an active movement to remove 'Terfs' from the party.

Seriously unimpressed at this.

LangCleg · 30/09/2018 10:31

This is um... interesting.

On Twitter, the Global Greens LGBT+ group is chastising Shahrar Ali of the Greens for sharing Bea Campbell's recent article about the party and the David Challenor debacle:

twitter.com/greenslgbt/status/1045601792678088704

If we look at the committee of the Global Greens LGBT+ Network, who do we see as coordinator? Oh! It's Aimee!

greenslgbt.net/about/people/

This would seem to be at odds with Aimee's newfound political affiliations, no?

heresyandwitchcraft · 30/09/2018 10:04

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

The women on here predicted this as soon as AC left the Greens!!!!!!!

Anyone else reminded of the story of Cassandra?

LassWiADelicateAir · 30/09/2018 10:01

Anyone is entitled to change political party

The Labour Party asks that you confirm you are not a member of another party. I joined so I could vote against Corbyn. I had been a supporter for decades but not a member.

I joined the Conservative Party when it looked as if there was going to be a leadership contest after the Brexit result. May looked the least awful. They didn't ask about other parties. I'm still a member of the Conservatives but not Labour.

Ironically I voted Lib Dem at the last election to keep the SNP out.

Charliethefeminist · 30/09/2018 09:52

I don't think Lib Dems are able realistically to reject a membership application despite using the father as election agent. What is possible is that if Aimee becomes a voice on that execrable LGBT Twitter feed, the leadership are more likely to publicly and finally sack it off. As Sarah Brown appears to feature heavily in the running of Twitter feed, and is AC's new Lib Dem BFF, its highly possible AC will get a role in some public pronouncements which the LibDems feel uncomfortable justifying.

Popchyk · 30/09/2018 09:49

You've got to admit though.

This is going to provide us with months of entertainment on here.

Anyone else think that the meek restrained "Welcome" message from the normally rabid LGBT Lib Dems Twitter account speaks volumes?

To me it says "Oh, Christ - how do we keep AC from taking over our committees? We're the trans voice of the party, how do we stop this?"

Good luck with that, folks. AC is in now and will expect a certain level of involvement at the trans top table. And of course getting AC out is another issue. Wonder who will be getting the first injunction?

I imagine that Verita is right now pencilling in another investigation into the Lib Dems in six months time.

Anyone can join a political party but they wouldn't be tweeting out a welcome to ordinary hardworking women

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 30/09/2018 09:44

Disrespectful

Just had a google. OMG that mag!

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 30/09/2018 09:41

There was an article in 'Love It' magazine this week about Challenor Senior. It mentioned Challoner Junior. I don't know what the intersection between 'Love It' readers and LibDems is, but with any luck a few voters will be peaktransed and see the LibDems for the bottomfeeders that they are.

hackmum · 30/09/2018 09:40

If the lib dems want to shackle themselves with the charisma free zone that is aimee chaneloor then that is their look out.

They're idiots. Challenor is much worse than a charisma-free zone - they are a complete liability. This will backfire on them massively.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 30/09/2018 09:35

They look like evil umpa loompas.

HamiltonCork · 30/09/2018 09:35

If the lib dems want to shackle themselves with the charisma free zone that is aimee chaneloor then that is their look out. This individual is completely unelectable no matter what party they are in.

Oh, I see the film was renamed Village of the Damned. The book name was better.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 30/09/2018 09:31

Hmmm. I saw Challenor Junior in London the other day so I was wondering what they were up to after their resignation.

The LibDems really do want to dig their political grave, don't they?

borntobequiet · 30/09/2018 09:31

Fekko do you mean The Midwich Cuckoos? From a pretty chilling John Wyndham book.

FesteringCarbuncle · 30/09/2018 09:30

Go Juells
A perfect demonstration of totally missing the point Grin

GoldenWonderwall · 30/09/2018 09:29

‘Pride not transphobia’ by James Austen sounds like a redacted and rewritten book we’ll be allowed to read in the brave new future Smile

ChrysanthemumsAreMums · 30/09/2018 09:29

Hi Vicky!! It's me - compound noun lady Wink

HandsOffMyRights · 30/09/2018 09:27

The ego knows no bounds. The audacity to not only do this after everything, but to write 'Pride not Transphobia' is really something. How entitled and arrogant can you be. Have they not heard of decorum/common decency?

More fool the LibDems. Its antics and Gulag visions are already dubious to say the least. Welcome to the dark side.
