Blunt complained bitterly that his attempts to “counsel” Townsend had been rebuffed and that “she remains absolutely determined to take part in this most contentious of public debates”.
Well how very dare she! A democratically elected Women daring to speak out on women’s rights and safety - an issue that so many of her voters thought was important enough to talk about on the door step…the nerve of the women…especially as she was duly elected as the PCC - who on earth does she think she is.
It makes me curious and suspicious all at once when men are so committed and determined to shut down rational, relevant and appropriate conversations (esp in her position and given recent events).
