Except sex isnt a protected characteristic when it comes to hate crime so they could not put sexual harassment under hate crime.

So its clearly an acceptable thing to have shit rape track records Angry

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 15/10/2019 17:57

Does anyone think that this focus on hate crime is because it's trendy and an easy win in terms of reporting and solving and WYP don't do so well on rape?

All of this^

For a force that is struggling to meet targets on other crimes this is one they can whip out and say “we’ve tackled hate crime here are our amazing figures” and they can even pull it out when asked about their work on sexual harassment against women etc because “hate crime” is so broad an idea they can say harassment falls under it so it’s sorted. Even if all the hate crime they’ve tackled is T related.

Its probably cos its mens hurt feelings so they care about that.

Women are used to being yelled at in the streets and called slag from school age.

But cant have mens feelings hurt can we.

OhHolyJesus · 15/10/2019 17:47

Hate crime has more impact than say rape or sexual assault or burglary?

Nice story bro

The rainbow creates a nice distraction too...

@PhilHealyWMP

Can I ask: did you say this?

If so, can you cite the evidence you are referring to?

I find it difficult to believe that name-calling (potentially) is more upsetting than being punched in the face (for example). t.co/6BpegiYB4Q

This was the 2nd version, the 1st one said something about the inability of Aimee to understand safeguarding issues.

GColdtimer · 15/10/2019 10:44

From the prism website: "Prism was represented by some of our mentors; Duncan, Chris, Barbara, Simon, and Aimee. They were on hand to answer any questions about Prism or the LGBTQ+ Community in General. The team at Lush were lovely and helped us to raise £283 this money will go to help us support our Young People engage in further activities with our partners both during Prism sessions and across regional events.

Also secret locations, nobody listed on the website , no link to safeguarding info, FFS.

Be assured you aren't missing much. Aimme thinks she can take on the big boys. However few of Piers' followers are convinced. Indeed they are being quite mean in a way that mums of MN would not be allowed to be mean. That does not alter the equation Hate = transphobia = MN.

StealthPolarBear · 14/10/2019 21:54

"Why does everyone complain about MN not Twitter?"
Because we're mostly women who should be nice.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 14/10/2019 21:53

Dammit I knew there was a reason i should’ve married by now! Grin

Needmoresleep · 14/10/2019 21:51

I use DH's account. He mainly follows Rugby League which does not seems to activate terfblocker.

Aimee and her dad are supposed to have written the first terfblocker. The problem apparently was the algorithms meant that some senior greens found themselves blocked.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 14/10/2019 21:43

I’m blocked from Aimee’s account @Needmoresleep Grin so I can’t see it.

LoveGrowsWhere · 14/10/2019 21:37

Seriously? Not minimising hate crime (and how tight a definition are they using?) but more of an impact than other types of crime?

Poor Aimee did not get loving support from Twitter:

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 14/10/2019 21:17

its been great having everyone come together to tackle hate. Really insightful and many more signs of us coming together to tackle the issue

I mean what? Confused What does that second sentence even mean? The first sentence says “everyone” came together to tackle hate. Lovely. So what are these further signs of “us” (who is the us that isn’t included in “everyone”) coming together to tackle “the issue”? is the issue not the aforementioned “hate”? If so then you’ve just stated something happened and then stated you’ve seen signs of it going to happen. So did it happen yet or not? Hmm

Scrowy · 14/10/2019 21:15

Aimee probably IS the group. Difficult to do due diligence on oneself particularly if you see yourself as faultless/blameless for previous errors of judgment.

There's plenty of sports groups/ youth groups out there (particularly in rural areas where there are fewer people to go round) that span a wide age range so that in itself isn't that unusual.

Young Farmers for example is 10yo - 26yo. The difference is that there are very strong family and community links (everyone knows everyone else) which are very protective factors.

SlowasaSnail · 14/10/2019 21:14

If anyone has concerns they can be shared with the Coventry Safeguarding Board

Needmoresleep · 14/10/2019 21:12

A while ago, during the whole Green Party thing I tried to look for their safeguarding policy etc. but could not find anything.

They are a Coventry based group and so Aimee's, and father David's problems cannot have passed unnoticed. Which is why I think they don't care.

I would not allow any child of mine to attend.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 14/10/2019 21:12

Wow, Scrimshaw, that link. "I am a scary and potentially very dangerous person, stay away from me" would have been so much more succinct.

What's most disturbing is the lack of shame. Watch sexual libertarians become enraged! But the thing is, shame is a tool societies use to control undesirable behavior. That has sometimes been misdirected to limit behavior that's harmless, such as happy consensual gay relationships, but when it's removed completely? You're left with people who simply do not understand why the things they would like to do to others are wrong and who cannot be effectively controlled by society and prevented from doing those things, because the law can't do anything to stop someone who wants to do harm towards others until they've already done it and it's too late. And even if they never act out their fantasies just being exposed to them via writing etc is already potentially upsetting and harmful to others.

I would not want anyone who would want to be in a relationship with someone like that to be around and potentially influencing children. I'm not saying Aimee is going to lay a hand on those children, MNHQ, so fingers off the delete button please. I'm saying that becoming involved with a person like that indicates that your sense of what's right and wrong and ability to maintain appropriate boundaries has already been damaged to the point where it's just not a good idea for you to be a potential influence on young people .

@Coldwatershock I checked the charity commission & its not a registered charity so no trustees or directors & no need to comply with charity commission rules :/

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 14/10/2019 21:07

Slippery fuckers...

Needmoresleep · 14/10/2019 21:06

Nah, it's the fact that Fekko got there first and poor Piers can only follow. This is Piers:

"He responded to calls for him to be sacked on Twitter, posting: 'You can't remove me, I'm currently identifying as a penguin so it would be animal cruelty.'

On today's programme he asked: 'Why can't I be a two-spirit penguin, why can't I just decide that's what I identity as?'

Co-host Susanna Reid asked if that was how is currently identifying, to which he replied: Yes, I've been a penguin for a week now.'

But he joked: 'Now I'm a penguin, I don't want anyone to be called he, she, they or them.

'Because you become exclusionary to me as a penguin. I want all the language around this programme to be changed now to reflect the fact I am now identifying as a penguin.'"

Gotta watch these penguins.

But they keep on fighting. It’s very tiring.

KatvonHostileExtremist · 14/10/2019 20:59

I hope you report that hate crime to the police Fekko, "mis-spiriting"

2 spirit penguin, such a slur

3 spirit are so much more valid 😍🐧

ScrimshawTheSecond · 14/10/2019 20:59

Here is Aimee's fiancee's defence of his child rape fantasies. Knight also states 'I know nothing about the individuals Aimee works with or represents except as a class of people. I don't ask, she doesn't volunteer it, and she doesn't put any of them in contact with me. '
