Green Party statement

[Destinysdaughter]

Sorry it’s so tiny, I screenshotted it on my phone from Twitter! It’s a bit mealy mouthed...

Voting in an election is not as private as people think.

I've just got my obligatory Your vote matters. Don't lose it from my local council. I note I'm included on the open register. This means:

The open register is an extract of the electoral register, but is not used for elections. It can be bought by any person, company or organisation. For example, it is used by businesses and charities to confirm name and address details. Your name and address will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. Removing your details from the open register does not affect your right to vote.

I had no idea I was on the open register and will be removing my name from it.

I am a Green Party member (about to give up my membership) but i am voting to re open nominations

Any idea as to the internal reaction to this from other members ?

And do you know if AC was a rank outsider or a favourite to win deputy ?

I have voted green in the past (once).

There is some serious money sloshing around trans activists. Jess Bradley instructing Carter Ruck. There appears to be some serious urgent legal work going on around Aimee Challenor, hints about injunctions flying everywhere. None of AC or immediate family seem to do much in the way of working for a living.

There is some serious money sloshing around trans activists

Oh yes. A seemingly endless stream of very big bucks.

I'm a GP member (and a regular poster on this board but with name change). I'm not close enough to things to know for sure, but I don't think Aimee would have got deputy leader, there are far more credible candidates standing against Aimee.

There's not a lot around about the statement that I've seen but the few messages on the internal noticeboard are all asking the same questions that are being asked here.

Voting in an election is not as private as people think

Definitely not. When you go to vote you are checked against a register, you are given a numbered voting slip. How do you think the Government in the 80s were able to identify those who voted Communist? How people ended up being investigated by MI5. How certain people were blocked from certain jobs if they were 'on the list'. Voting has never been confidential.

Eeeep ! Hopefully AC was a bit sloppy about the actual date and it was actually before Dad's conviction went public. Otherwise, not at all a good look for the Greens.

Worth looking at the whole thread

,

The Green Party will sort themselves out once Caroline Lucas steps in. She isn’t an idiot.

Unfortunately Caroline hasn't spoken out yet about this Trans idiocy. I would like to be optimistic in that whatever she may or, more tellingly, not say in public, she knows her biology. It would be a shame for her legacy to be the implosion of The Green Party.

WRT to vetting and background checks of people in public office, hello, have you looked at some of them? I'd say there's very little background investigation undertaken across the board regardless of party. I'm with Billy Connolly: " The desire to be a politician should bar you for life from ever becoming one !"

I can’t believe all the Times comments have been deleted. Someone up high is obviously pulling a lot of strings at the moment to cover their tracks

The problem for the Sunday Times will have been a lot of comments suggesting that Aimee must have known about the abuse - which is potentially defamatory. They will have had no choice but to close them down. I wouldn't read too much into that - the Times & ST have done a sterling job at questioning the TRA narrative.

Just been back on Twitter looking at the responses to the Green Party statement. There's at least 2 Green Party candidates on the thread haranguing women for suggesting that Aimee may not have used the best judgement and calling those women transphobic etc.

Pretty horrifying to see. As has been previously suggested it is almost as if being trans is somehow a get out of free card, because you are so brave and so noble and so oppressed that it is just not possible to do anything wrong, or to have bad intentions.

This was the exact moment - to the day - that I resigned my Green membership...

Funny how relevant it is.

Why are they stating as fact that AC didn't know when that should be the cornerstone of their internal investigation? and also when anyone can see it's verifiably bollocks

Cesira I had distanced myself from the committee already so I don’t know of any specific reactions from party members near me. There’s been no emails or anything regarding it.

I’m not surprised though by any of this - they are so desperate for help, no checks were done on me as a former local candidate or agent. They just want a name against as many areas as possible.

Did someone say Aimee is to be suspended?

Even in the impossible imo chance that the GP and Aimee (as well as the scouts etc) didn't know about his upcoming trial, the police and CPS will have known.

Should there be a safeguarding rule that certain crimes have to be reported by them to relevant third parties, rather than relying on the DBS?

Imagine going in for jury duty to find the man in front of you charged with child rape, torture and imprisonment, is a prominent member of your own party. As if you wouldn't report that higher up. Or at least, I know I would.

No idea re the AC’s odds

This gets worse by the minute

It's starting to look that way, isn't it.

So much power - getting people suspended from the party for wrongthink, blocking 50,000 women on twitter...

I think one problem with safeguarding might be where everyone thinks someone else already did it, and there aren't formal structures in place to question that, or to check again.

Do we know how long the trial lasted? Aimee posted a photo on Instagram last weekend with the caption "Got what's likely to be a difficult week ahead, so pleased to have @katrina.swales with me. #longdistancerelationship" The account's since been locked but I took a screenshot last night.

There's a guy called Adam Macgregor, former Green Party candidate, abusing as 't::fs' women and men who are concerned about the issues raised by this.
