Challenor on LBC this morning

Much to my horror and surprise I heard the dulcet tones of Aimee Challenor on the Nick Ferrari show this morning. I was half asleep (school hols, forgive me!) and sat bolt upright as AC defended the suspension of the doctor recently.

Ferrari was having none of it and then went on to questin AC about the plethora of male prisoners iding as women and asked AC to comment. AC would not comment because to call these men fakers would put AC in a very awkward position. Also AC did not sound like the brightest bulb in the box - not a shock.

I was amazed that this nappy wearing furry (this is all out in the open MN btw) - roundly discredited and found lacking by the Greens - was commenting on national radio as if they are some sort of intelligent voice in this debate. Why do researchers not do their jobs properly?

Eeeee...is this my allotted 5 minutes of fame.

Seriously though, I think the imbalance between the weight given to the views of Stonewall advisors and those of women's groups is shocking. We are 51% of the population, yet no one seems to care. Our girls, or women, our athletes.

I worry about the aspiring political class. There seems not to be any sense of responsibility. No sense of them representing us. Instead it seems to be a sense of entitlement based on a special status. They count, we don't. For that reason I could never vote LibDem, and look forward to the, inevitable, demise of Stonewall.

Aimee may be use her Stonewall role to walk to corridors of power and to be part of private conversations. However I see no evidence at all that she has any interest in my concerns or plans to represent my interests. I work hard, pay tax, care for parents and children. My reward. To be invisible. To be erased.

If anyone’s interested Aimee has had 2 likes. My cat could get more. Aimee is a nobody and should really be ignored.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 11/07/2019 22:42

yeah, you're gonna need to screen shot aimee. you've blocked me even though we've never interacted on Twitter

Pthagonal · 11/07/2019 22:31

How would we know, @TheRealAimee? You and your father created the block list that most of us are on 🙄

TheRealAimee · 11/07/2019 22:25

Thanks @Needmoresleep I think you just helped me write my next bio! x Aimee

Do you think Aimee would rescue you from the waves?

What?

'Unsurprisingly @NickFerrariLBC is a complete and utter farcical idiot. I go on to talk about a Doctor refusing to respect patients, he tries to talk about prisons. Self-righteous fool.'

Great way to get yourself invited on again.

Trans-Atlantic is Atlantic

It depends on whether she identifies as an American, a Brit, or perhaps a mermaid.

Satterthwaite · 11/07/2019 18:22

Trans Atlantic are real Atlantics

RoyalCorgi · 11/07/2019 18:19

A very useful phrase of my Mum's (based on a joke about a mother watching soldiers parading by) "Oh look, everyone's out of step but our Johnny".

My mum used to make a similar joke, but based on the idea of a line of chorus girls and only one being in step.

TacoLover · 11/07/2019 18:17

Much as I disagree with Aimee, I feel so sorry for her. I can't even imagine what it must have been like to grow up with a man like her father. I see a lot of signs of trauma in herSad

placemats · 11/07/2019 18:00

So convincing: Let's hear and see more of Aimee.

Won the debate? No!

ThePankhurstConnection · 11/07/2019 16:12

I think AC makes a great spokesperson. More of Aimee!

Hear, hear I always find them so convincing.

LangCleg · 11/07/2019 16:09

Bugger. Bold fail.

LangCleg · 11/07/2019 16:09

Unsurprisingly @NickFerrariLBC is a complete and utter farcical idiot. I go on to talk about a Doctor refusing to respect patients, he tries to talk about prisons. Self-righteous fool.

Never mind, Aimee. Perhaps if you go on a few more news shows you'll get your points across better. Don't be downhearted. Please keep up the appearances. Every little helps.

I see that Aimee has commented on this morning's LBC appearance. Grin

Would Aimee really give up the Stonewall gig.

They have given evidence on tg policy just about everywhere and so have had a huge impact on Government, commercial and third sector policy across the UK as well as a massive impact on the focus and priority of Stonewall itself. This has to be a far more influential role than that of any backbench MP.

I see them continuing in a trans-Atlantic, and apparently rather complex non-traditional relationship. (And earlier photo on her Twitter showed three holidaying together.)

Sheheshehe · 11/07/2019 13:53

I think that AC being on the radio is absolutely fine. They do their cause a great service. Don’t know where Aimee’s political career is going but Aimee is seemingly more focussed on US politics going by their Twitter. I’m not sure whether many Coventry locals would vote for them seeing as they’re seemingly more focussed on US politics and soon to be heading Stateside to marry into a relationship with someone that is already in a relationship. Aimee has had a dreadful upbringing and many crosses to bear. It’s nice they get to be on the radio. The Greens must be lamenting the loss.

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 11/07/2019 12:58

Grrrrr! The audacity of putting oneself forward to be deputy leader of the Green Party when one is utterly ignorant of any of the environmental issues that the Party is supposed to care about. That almost pisses me off more than everything else.

I can't think of more stereotypically male behaviour

koshkat · 11/07/2019 12:30

Yes AC must have had a hellish childhood and as a previous poster stated, no one could have endured living with a father like David Challenor and been unharmed.

Ah is that so? Aimee's father has a lot to answer for. :(

LangCleg · 11/07/2019 12:06

Why?

The more interviews AC does, the more this question will be asked.

Needmoresleep · 11/07/2019 12:02

Aimee is on Stonewalls influential trans-advisory committee.

She has a voice, when many women don't.

Why?
