Wow.... So refreshing to read such straightforward, sensible points. She's a brave woman for sticking her head above the parapet.

So refreshing. Wish Scottish police were so prepared to defend women’s safety and rights.

We don't seem to have PCCs in Scotland, is there an equivalent, does anyone know?

Thank you Lisa Townsend and all the women who are emailing, letter writing and campaigning for us. Flowers

ArabellaScott · 22/08/2021 10:04

Incredible. Absolutely amazing.

Writing a card.

So relieved and heartened to hear a woman standing up to defend women's rights and safety.

Thank you, Lisa.

Great article, more sunlight.

InspiralCoalescenceRingdown · 22/08/2021 09:58

Great to see another elected official speak up on this issue.

AlfonsoTheMango · 22/08/2021 09:55

Hooray for common sense. I particularly liked her comment: "'Everybody has told me not to speak-out about this, that the debate is incendiary, but if women like me can't or don't speak up who will?'"

I have just emailed my pcc. Can I urge everyone to do the same? Imagine if all pccs heard from people today, what difference we could all make?

These so-called 'gender critical' beliefs are now protected in law but expressing them publicly risks harassment from extremist transgender activists.

Time to start prosecuting the extremists for hate crime.

I had always presumed a lot of people were unaware of the issues (based on everyone I know in real life) but perhaps there is more awareness than I thought

To be fair, that is the perspective being pushed by many allies and activists. There is a complete disconnect with reality. The majority simply don’t agree with them. No matter how much they want to believe it.

Blackandwhitehorse · 22/08/2021 09:38

This is brilliant. Interesting that she said it was the overwhelming issue people were contacting her about, I had always presumed a lot of people were unaware of the issues (based on everyone I know in real life) but perhaps there is more awareness than I thought

Fab! Also going to send the link to my recently elected police commissioner.

Iwishihadariver · 22/08/2021 09:16

Link sent to my PCC, thank you for the info

KohlaParasanda · 22/08/2021 09:03

Excellent. Brave woman. And so good to have a public acknowledgement that many people have been concerned enough to write and email. Sometimes it feels like we're shouting at the wind.

BernardBlackMissesLangCleg · 22/08/2021 08:51

what a brave woman. everything she says is fair and reasonable. it shouldn't be brave to be fair and reasonable in public!

Jaysmith71 · 22/08/2021 08:47

@Signalbox

Does the fact she’s been elected mean she can’t be sacked?
Assuming she's not been involved in electoral fraud or made false declarations about her previous convictions, to take the example of two other Tory PCCs.
Areyouseriousrightnow · 22/08/2021 08:42

This is absolutely brilliant I felt so relieved reading it. Thank you Lisa and Thankyou to all those who emailed her and reinforced the importance of this issue.

Cailin66 · 22/08/2021 08:36

@TurquoiseBaubles

The interesting thing in that article is what she says about being contacted by so many people. She says that it's the biggest issue the public are asking her about.

So does that mean that everyone else - all other police commissioners, various elected people, local government officials and MPs - are ignoring the biggest issue the public are raising with them?

It means the message is getting thru. And the strong women of Mumsnet who write the letters, garden and lobby are having an effect.

Each one of us in our own way can effect change. So keep those emails and letters flowing to your local school, police, council, MP. They work. Slowly at first but eventually a small tide can become a tsunami.

Thank you Lisa StarFlowers

Thank you for the link. I have sent it to my newly elected PCC. Thank you Lisa 💐

Cailin66 · 22/08/2021 08:32

Isn't this just the best news to wake up to on a Sunday. Well done Lisa Townsend for being so brave. Flowers Thank you.

MsTSwift · 22/08/2021 08:27

Thank you Lisa.

Thought of myself as centre slightly left but on this issue the Conservatives are right.
