If the LD had also not told people who tried to report the issues with AC to basically shut up and go away...

2Rebecca · 02/11/2019 12:40

Agree that AC should keep out of politics and high profile roles in the interest of AC and the wider public. Can't AC just get a job and take up jogging round the he park for a hobby or something?
It does seem as though the people especially young people who want the media limelight and high profile positions are the ones who shouldn't have it.

This is the Coventry Observer. Will Aimeemememememe, now gravitate over to the Labour Party?

They knew. They chose to ignore.

Yep. I’m one who quit the party over AC. They didn’t give a damn. I think it’s only because of WPUK and others that they’ve had to start engaging brain.

I'd like to vote LibDems because of Brexit, but because of this issue I won't. I don't trust them. I'm still angry that I emailed Vince Cable when he was Leader about the conduct of the LibDem LGBT account on Twitter and got no response at all. That's just rude. I was perfectly polite and gave my reasons. I strongly suspect some superwoke assistant deleted it on sight.

realitycalling · 02/11/2019 14:17

Another one who quit the Lib Dems because of this and the awful misogyny of their LGBT twitter account. Complaints completely ignored - but they still keep contacting me wanting my vote and support Hmm .

Completely politically homeless and while Brexit tempts me to vote for them how can I support a political party that treats both the safeguarding of children and rights of women with such contempt? Sadly they're just too dangerous to be in charge of the country.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 02/11/2019 17:06

Hacked social media Hmm now where have I heard that before?
Isn't the partner in question the one who readily admitted being map? If the posts in question were somehow worse than that?
It beggars belief.

A few months ago somebody posted a tweet with a photo of Jo Swinson & Aimee Challenor:

twitter.com/ripx4nutmeg/status/1155025147079856128?s=19

I continue to be really surprised that political parties are so blase about who they allow to be officers.

JoyceJeffries · 02/11/2019 18:16

Tbf jo’s body language in that photo speaks a thousand words.

MollyButton · 02/11/2019 18:55

As I said elsewhere voting is not like choosing your life partner it's like public transport you don't wait for the perfect one but have to choose the one going closest to you destination.
None of the parties have clean hands on this issue. (Even WPUK go along with TWAW).
Then there is Brexit, Climate Change, Islamaphobia, Antisemitism, selling the NHS, magic money trees ...

Siameasy · 02/11/2019 18:56

Gosh yeah the body language is “if I have to”

allmywhat · 02/11/2019 19:42

Tbf jo’s body language in that photo speaks a thousand words.

It reminds me of the woman beside Rachel McKinnon on the podium! It made me respect Jo Swinson a bit more.

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 02/11/2019 20:08

but have to choose the one going closest to you destination

Yeah. No.

I've believed this all my life. I've been told this by leftie men all my life. They'll get round to women. Soon even. They just need to sort out this vv important strike/election/Brexit/austerity thingie.

Well bollocks. 'No self respecting woman...' and all that. Not one of them deserves my vote and they are not getting it.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 02/11/2019 20:12

That's some interesting body language there on the photo of Swinson with Challenor. Not surprising though given what she must have known.

BitOfFun · 02/11/2019 20:22

"Fresh complaints"...

"private one to one sessions"

Frankly if that was happening just suspending Challenor isn't enough, the whole bloody program should be shut down. Are they stupid?

DickKerrLadies · 02/11/2019 20:27

So AC, of whom a report said that they did not understand safeguarding, proves once again that they do not understand safeguarding.

Teflon coating indeed.

andyoldlabour · 02/11/2019 20:29

"Well bollocks. 'No self respecting woman...' and all that. Not one of them deserves my vote and they are not getting it."

Whilst I broadly agree with that sentiment myself, that is what allowed Trump to become POTUS.
Only 52% voted in the last US election, meaning that 100 million didn't bother to vote.

"Frankly if that was happening just suspending Challenor isn't enough, the whole bloody program should be shut down. Are they stupid?"

What that proves, is neither the Greens or Lib Dems are fit to be a political party, because they will harvest votes and recruit people to work with them, regardless of their past - they simply want people to work for them and vote for them - including the pond life.

RuffleCrow · 02/11/2019 20:42

There must be powerful people working behind the scenes to keep getting Aimee these woke non-jobs in the first place. Your average dubious Challenor-esque character wouldn't even get a look in volunteering in their local charity shop. Whoever it is will probably try Aimee with Labour next.

SugarPlumFairyCakes · 02/11/2019 21:21

AC no doubt had a horrendous childhood, both parents being awful. Also to blame are every person and organisation that has enabled AC since then. AC needed boundaries, rules and guidance. What AC didn't need was their ego stroked and be told constantly that they were stunning and brave. No female of a similar age would have been given the positions and power AC has been given. AC was enabled despite having no experience, a lack of basic intregity and a lack of formal education. Everyone who enabled this should be throughly ashamed of themselves and examine their motives for encouraging AC above AC's capabilities. This includes anyone who has been coaching or advising them recently.

Prism needs to be shut down. West Midlands Police need to review their 'experts' and understanding of safe-guarding.

I can't see there being a cat in hells chance that AC would be able to reside in the USA.... Just hope that AC's polymourous 'partner' doesn't come over here.

Siameasy · 02/11/2019 21:25

Hideous. Cannot believe (or sadly can) that WYP are involved with this dubious organisation

Ameanstreakamilewide · 02/11/2019 21:31

Beautifully put, Sugar, I agree with every word.

ShesDressedInBlackAgain · 02/11/2019 21:33

Well that's on the Labour Party. Not on me.

ThomasRichard · 02/11/2019 21:45

This is why I won’t be voting Lib Dem, even though I agree with them on Brexit. Their contempt of women’s rights and sheer ineptitude over Challenor prove them unfit to govern the country.
