I am speechless. Lib dem Councillor defending Ian Huntley and saying we can't misgender him - i.e. call him a man. Meanwhile they support the transfer of trans-identified male prisoners (42% of whom are sexual predators) onto the female estate.

I'm sorry - WTAF!

I think I have now run out of parties to vote for.

Hotdogjumpingfrogs · 11/06/2018 18:49

Maybe it's a double bluff. The lib dems will never get into power so they are pushing this to get this issue into the spot light and to highlight the sheer ridiculousness of it.

I mean no-one sane can actually think Ian Huntly, the rapist, abusive child killer. A man who took the life of two little girls for what, his sexual gratification, should be housed with actual women.

Is that real?!

DJLippy · 11/06/2018 18:56

Pretty consistent with things they've said in the past. Calling voters thick and telling them to go and jump in the sea.

I hold no brief, as we say in the trade, for the LibDems, but you can't judge them or any party by what some tosser says on social media. SFAIK LibDem policy is foolish but not as foolish as that.

If Huntley wants too e called Lian, wear a skirt, and spend his prison earnings on cosmetics, I have nothing against it. Has anyone? Just as long as it's in a male prison.

Andrewofgg · 11/06/2018 18:57

*to be called

Moonkissedlegs · 11/06/2018 18:59

I dont know if this is even true? Half the reports say he is now called Lian and half say he is called Nicola?

DJLippy · 11/06/2018 19:00

Do I have to call him she? Should his crime be recorded as perpetrated by a woman? Yesterday Twitter upheld a complaint against someone for 'misgendering him.'

I hope this is fake. He should not be protected. I can’t believe some may pander to his bullshit.

Andrewofgg · 11/06/2018 19:44

Well; like every prisoner he must be protected against other prisoners. It boils my piss to have read that he got damages when some self-righteous criminal attacked him, but it was right.

But in a male prison he must stay.

Although I can’t help suspecting that while women are generally far less often violent than men Huntley might get torn to shreds in a women’s prison.

Stop reading order-order and you'll feel a lot better about yourself

treeofhearts · 11/06/2018 21:06

Oh I think we should move him into a women's prison. A lot of those women have daughters. He'd be lynched within the week.

SilverySurfer · 11/06/2018 21:12

I always knew the LibDims were, well, dim but this takes it to a new level.

HollowTalk · 11/06/2018 21:15

@ChampagneCommunist That was my first thought - who the hell is there left to vote for?

Fluffyears · 11/06/2018 21:19

Should they not just let some of the mother inmates have 10 minutes with him. Problem solved and no longer a drain on the taxpayer. He murdered two beautiful girls and sexually assaulted them he doesn’t deserve to even be labelled as human!

Selladoor · 11/06/2018 21:23

treeofhearts exactly my thoughts. He wants to be moved into somewhere habitat by a swarm of mothers? Brave move, he wouldn't last long

DJLippy · 11/06/2018 21:26

Sadly he's not the only sexual predator who want's to move into a woman's prison.

Why should this be a woman's problem?

Hopefully what they want and what they get will remain mutually exclusive.

OrchidInTheSun · 11/06/2018 23:22

Paris Green was in a women's prison for 4 years but was moved to a men's prison last year because he kept sexually assaulting fellow inmates

condepetie · 11/06/2018 23:50

Source is Guido Fawkes, notorious right-wing moron.

Later posts by OP cite Lib Dems LGBT unit talking about... nothing to do with Huntley. All to do with being respectful to trans people.

It is astonishing that some people are falling for this nonsense. The Huntley transgender story is from the Star years ago still being perpetuated and there is nothing current to suggest that Huntley identifies as a woman or wants to be moved to a women's prison.

Twitter is against hate speech including transphobia, and that includes reports of transphobia about a criminal. It's not a binary system. They need to act on all such reports even if the foundation of them turns out to be untrue.

It is really gross how many people seem not to care about the rule of law in the UK. The criminal is receiving his punishment for his horrific crime. What you want to do to him is just disgusting and cringeworthy. Your revenge fantasies belong in your head.

ASAS · 11/06/2018 23:59

If this is true we riot tomorrow, yes?

Andrewofgg · 12/06/2018 09:34

Guido Fawkes is great fun when his facts are right but he sometimes falls for rubbish like this.

hungryhippo90 · 12/06/2018 09:59

No fucking way. How can we stop this?

velourvoyageur · 12/06/2018 10:26

I expect many, many male prisoners' mental health would be much improved by being moved to a majority-female prison, but I don't see the Lib Dems caring about them. It is for Ian Huntley's MH that they are doing this right? [innocent]
