why did anyone vote for Crispin Blunt

Strength to you Lisa.

Lisa 💐🍷💪

You'd be right wink

Excellent news. These men have been trying to hold back the tide of public opinion for so long, they cant tell that they're just about to sink.

I'd love Kellie-Jay to stand against him at the next general election. I'd travel the length of the country to campaign for her.

Lisa

Good to hear, Lisa!

Yay, Lisa!

I think most people seeing this will understand exactly what you're saying and why.

Thank you for all that you do.

Nice work Lisa, wishing power to your elbow

He hee go for it Lisa!

I can't wait to see her explanation. I have the feeling that Lisa isn't going to back down!

What do they mean by “explain herself”?

I assume that “point at a big piece of paper with “WOMEN DON’T HAVE PENISES” written on it in crayon and smile at them till they get it” wouldn’t be an adequate explanation?

But I’m hard-pressed to think of a way of “explaining” the bloody obvious that wouldn’t make the situation worse.

Dear Mr Spoonerism, I think it’s wrong to bully and gaslight rape victims. I hold this opinion for the reason that I’m not a fucking sociopath. Yours sincerely, etc

^Dear Crispin,
The background of my Tweet is the evolution of anisogamy over a billion years ago…^

It’s just a ridiculous demand, fuck them.

Lisa updated on this yesterday. Seems that Surrey’s Police and Crime Panel found her tweet not to be ‘dignified or respectful’ and told her to explain herself to the 3 men who complained. I wonder what happens next. I am assuming she can’t be sacked if she is elected.

Thanks for sharing @LABMAB, have signed and shared. What a twat. I loathe him.

No more than getting a speeding fine?

Tell that to the people who couldn't visit dying loved ones or attend their funerals. Twat.

[quote LABMAB]I am part of a group that has set up a petition in Crispin Blunt's constituency of Reigate and Banstead asking the council to get Blunt to apologise for his comments on BBC Radio 4 and the press a few weeks back when he said that as most people broke the rules during lockdown, it doesn't matter if Johnson did. Besides it's no more than getting a speeding fine!
We have now got the required 400 signatories but if anyone else wishes to sign, here is the link reigate-banstead.moderngov.co.uk/mgEPetitionListDisplay.aspx?bcr=1[/quote]
Wow what an absolute prat he is.

and yet there is a current thread on AIBU with a number of posters vehemently declaring their support for the Tories because 'at least they know what a woman is'.

Er no, they're saying they don't want to vote for Labour for the same reasons that they don't appreciate the machinations of Crispin Blunt MP on this issue. Not the same thing.

Unfortunately my MP is Peter Kyle, who is in cahoots with Blunt in terms of trying to sneak in self-ID, along with Lloyd Russell-Moyle. Another unpleasant misogynist.

I’m willing to give it a go though. I wrote to him a few years ago when he said he was still researching the gender debate. He’s nailed his colours to the mast since then, but it would be nice to have a response in black and white to his female constituents.

@QuimReaper
Given the donkey situation, are we quite sure that isn’t the case? People are generally convinced Jeremy Bentham gets the tie-breaking vote at UCL Council Meetings & he is significantly-substantially deader than someone you could remember being alive.

I do enjoy my occasional correspondence with Mr Blunt. I think it's time to dig out quill and ink again.

Has he given any indication, Lisa, on why he "remains absolutely determined to take part in this most contentious of public debates" in the teeth of his own advice to you?

Also, is the text of the complaint he made to the PCP publicly available?

I believe that Lisa won at least some of her votes on being willing to take part in this debate. Women organised letter-writing to all PCC candidates ahead of the election, to seek their opinions, and then voted accordingly.

So why on earth should Lisa, an actual woman, be quiet when women voted for her because they thought she would speak up, and it is relevant to her actual office?

Why doesn't Blunt counsel himself to be quiet?

Thank you @SurreyPCC Lisa xxx

Will be writing to my MP this weekend. We are indeed a growing army of women watching this debate. My vote at the any election depends on this.
