That have absolutely nothing to do with one another but I'm just putting them here, for later.

The esteemed Mayor's reaction. Because of course.

Scratch the surface....
It reminds me of the convicted paedophile working in the Scottish civil service who was part of the group enabling male born sex offenders self identifying as women to be placed in women's prisons.

OP - this ought to go onto the 'This never happens ' thread?

Quite a coincidence. Rather like the coincidence of so many prominent TRAs ending up with convictions for being a perv of some sort....

Bloody hell.

That is all I have for now.

Yes, I'm sure these two things are entirely unrelated, and completely coincidental. Honest gov Hmm

I didn't recognise him from the top pic, but when I saw the second pic, I thought "Oh, HIM!" I know him from stuff on twitter, about his fight against the safeguarding of women and children. How utterly unsurprising.

Over to you, Andy Preston. Do you support the wants of suspected paedophiles, or the safety of women and children??

Wow, what an amazing coincidence. It's almost as if some perverts have ulterior motives for destroying safe spaces that protect women and children.

Thanks for converting the link, I thought it happened automatically.

I suppose they'll push on. I think, while there's an open court case, that they wouldn't be able to draw any assumptions without being in contempt of court...although I'm not certain if that's how it works.

If the case ends in a guilty verdict then I suppose they'll deny that their decision was ever strongarmed by this councillor at all but at least at that point it will be possible to ask questions. But, we'll see.

Well, he certainly looks the sort.

I wonder if Middlesbrough Council will proceed with this now? Hmm
