Good for her. Such a cheek to ask her to explain herself.

What I'd like the panel to explain is how her statement “We will not accept this gaslighting from men who keep telling us they are women” is disrespectful. She was responding to a tweet about male rapists! What about the dignity of their victims?

"Back in December the PCC retweeted and commented on a post from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling implying biologically male rapists are not female "

Wrap your head around that bit of nonsense.

I haven't come across Lisa Townsend before but, wow, she's hard as nails! Good on her.

That's the bit that caught my eye too @GroggyLegs

I have been following this and absolutely love this woman, she is amazing.

Very impressed.

She should stand as an MP.

What a woman! She’s not some naughty school child who has to explain herself. She clearly has a proper grasp of the issues biological women face.

Good for Lisa, her ovaries must be made of diamonds! I hope she is being well supported by people around her.

I thought this was quite an interesting part of the newspaper story.

Cllr Fury said: “If you are not legally bound to do so then we need to look again at how the complaints panel works.” The panel has no power,” said chairman Cllr Reeve. “The acid test is in the ballot box vote, and that’s the view of the legal people.”

Looks like one of the Councillors thinks they need to change how the complaints panel works so they'll be able to force the CPP to do as they're told the next time. Not threatening or anti-democratic at all.

Also why is the complaints panel mostly older white males? Very strange …

I think I remember Lisa saying she has two law degrees so I'm sure she'll have checked out the legality of refusing to play according to the boys' rules. She does tread these boards from time to time so if she pops in now - we'll done Lisa! We're proud of you.

Lisa Townsend joins the list of women who stood up and said NO: Julie Bindel, Maya Forstater, Allison Bailey, Kemi Badenoch, JK Rowling, Raquel Rosario-Sanchez, Helen Joyce, Rosie Duffield, Emma Nicholson, Sharon Davies, Liz Truss, Sonia Sodha...

Who am I missing?

Joanna Cherry.

There are only 5 comments below the article but they're well worth reading.

They spent two & a half hours discussing this for 4/7 to decide she had "failed to treat others with dignity and respect." RAPISTS they spent their time & energy to tell her off for not treating RAPISTS nicely.

Lisa 🥃

I want an “I shan’t be writing to Mr Blunt” t-shirt.

It’s like something Jane Austen would have said.

This comment summed it up:

A public official tweets her belief to the effect that rain is wet. A couple of Dry-Rain Church believers complain, and she's supposed to waste her time explaining her position to these morons?

Well done Lisa! I would not apologise for this either. Over my dead body.

Dream team ❤️

Very apt.

Janice Turner, Marina Navratilova

Rhona Hotchkiss.

And I agree, Lisa Townsend is fabulous

You forgot Kellie-Jay! And Jo phoenix.

We are so lucky to have such fabulous, smart, brave women speaking out.

She is so strong and brave.

Fantastic woman. I'm astonished how people defend rapists.

I mean Crispin Blunt ffs. The one who recently disgraced himself by defending a convicted male child sex offender, right? Who had to resign as Chair of his APPG?

Lisa Townsend is absolutely right to tell him to take a hike.
