Crispin Blunt engages politely with GC writer

[teawamutu]

WTAF? You can see this, right?

😱

Best behaviour due to his recent telling off?

How very cynical of you, Ova.

Maybe he's got sunstroke from all the sunlight being shone on backroom deals?

Crispin Blunt, the chair of the Stonewall-funded APPG wants to talk?
Is that coming from him or...?

Interesting

What just happened, did Twitter just enter an alternate universe?

My word! What an enormous reverse ferret?

Let’s hope there’s a few more coming.

I don't want to be one to criticise someone for a change in heart (hopefully) that's great that he's open to a discussion. It's the only way this awful situation will reach resolution

Good point adviceseekingnamechanger. Ideally it should be politicians / leaders modelling this and insisting on the democratic process being followed. I'll wait and see......

Not buying it.

Deflection and distraction.

Wow!! Do Stonewall know that he has deviated from #nodebate?

An interesting development. Has Michael Cashman reacted to this yet? He is normally all over this sort of thing.

I'm cynical too, worry it's a new tactic, wolf in sheep's clothing. Sorry. Hopefully not because as adviceseekingnamechanger says reaching out is the only way forward.

Also, maybe the run of GC success is what's causing a bit of reverse ferreting. Or perhaps the high chance he will lose his position on the Women and Equalities Committee. He deserves my full attention, I'll be watching closely

Call me cynical but I wouldn't trust crispin with a 5p piece

Hmmmm

We have every reason to be cynical. It's not even a new tactic, remember when Nancy Kelley wanted to talk and she promised that Stonewall would stop forcing the idea of gender identity on people?

Do Stonewall know that he has deviated from #nodebate?

Yes, is my guess.

He got a smack, and now he is acting all wounded and reasonable.
Still, people acting reasonable is a good start.

It’s a bit like that feeling you get when the toddler is very quiet... 🤞

Has he been kidnapped by aliens and replaced??

Bloody hell I thought your title was sarcastic,OP.

Haven't read this through but the start is interesting so will carry on later
