Check @ShahrarAli Twitter feed for his formal letter under the whistle blowing policy about the misuse of the Greens complaints procedure to discipline party members for ‘transphobia’.

How embarrassing. I'm glad this bloke is speaking up. A woman never could, sadly.

Thinking of which, Green Party, how's that investigation coming along?

The one where one of your members acted as membership secretary for the local branch (i.e. having access to member's names and addresses) while maintaining a "block list" of twitter users, all while awaiting trial for the crime of rape, false imprisonment and torture of a child. Oh, and acting as an election agent (admittedly for someone who claims not to have known of the allegations, despite living in the same house, having a mother also at the same address whose facebook seemed entirely devoted to "my husband is innocent", and being one of the trustees of Coventry Pride, a body who suspended David Challenor on discovering he was facing these charges - but somehow the young Green in question still didn't know when they later appointed David Challenor their election agent). Oh - yeah - in case anyone didn't know, David Challenor was found guilty.

So, Greens. How's that enquiry coming along? And Lib Dems, how's your new member shaping up? The one who knew nothing, saw nothing, was entirely blameless.

Lib Dems need to study closely too!

And maybe the Labour Party needs to watch with interest.

"Either we have managed to foster a culture of transphobia in our Party of epidemic proportions; or the complaints process is being abused and subverted to silence those who wish to debate our policies in an area of great complexity".

He's right.

So which is it to be, Greens?

Do you have a huge problem with transphobia or are certain individuals (who are allowed to remain anonymous) using the Greens complaints process to pursue their own agenda?
