Will LOJ stand as a character witness for him if it goes to trial?

Mollyollydolly · 26/10/2023 19:07

Oh dear what a surprise
Oh well, never mind said all of Mumsnet.

EsmaCannonball · 26/10/2023 19:07

I tried to get into the Right Side of History but it was too full of nonces.

It's never a shock, is it?

Kucinghitam · 26/10/2023 19:09

He's a brilliant poster-person for The Right Side of History.

OvaHere · 26/10/2023 19:22

Gosh this is a shock. He was such a nice man as well. Who could have imagined something like this?🤔

Fahbeep · 26/10/2023 19:51

He is gay so likely a male complainant. He was standing down at election. Justice will take its course. Possibly another by-election though he will likely hang on until a GE for the salary, given he can't be sacked, or made to do anything, and has been ordered to stay away from parliament for now. And unlikely to progress to Trial any time soon!

What have we come to though when a Tory MP accused of rape is the most unsurprising news of the day ☹️

Although this is obviously a very serious allegation.....this has just made me laugh out loud.

It was bad enough when he was only a smug, misogynistic, hypocritical, condescending Brexity twat.

But now, it appears, he's also possibly an actual rapist.

Although, literally nothing surprises me about the Tory party these days.

Though OJ thinks Crispin is better than the Labour Party Leadership too.

bombastix · 26/10/2023 20:10

Blunt was a Justice Minister. Let that sink in. I am glad he is going.

LizzieSiddal · 26/10/2023 20:13

For the many blocked, has OJ commented on his friend and ally’s arrest?

Boomboom22 · 26/10/2023 20:15

Well colour me surprised that the biggest tra mp is an alleged rapist.

C8H10N4O2 · 26/10/2023 20:18

He's a long term misogynist, wanting men to identify into women's safe spaces is consistent with his record on women. He isn't too fond of some minorities either.

I think he was planning to stand down at the next election but not sure if the was related to the undeclared payments from lobbyists.

Nothing so far - maybe saving it up for a YouTube rant (gotta keep the $$$ clicks up).

Lately he has been nobly lecturing the world on the Middle East crisis, a subject on which he is deploying his usual bollocks nuanced and thoughtful understanding of all the complexities involved with all the depth of a dover sole.

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 26/10/2023 20:40

I loathe Blunt and will happily see his downfall if he is guilty, but it has to be said that gay MPs have been the victims of attempted extortion in the past - and not just in the era when being gay was taboo.

I hate him, but I do think we have to remember that he may be innocent of this (though he is undoubtedly guilty of being a creepy misogynist).

Show quote history

I expect he’s surprised the UN hasn’t asked him to advise them on the whole crisis.

Everyone knows that trans rights activism is a nonces charter. You can tell this by the spread and reach of it. Anyone would think there was all powerful male secret society behind this like the Mason’s perhaps? Although they are all fine upstanding citizens people like MP’s for example.

Fenlandia · 26/10/2023 21:38

I've got nothing to say on the arrest (and we should all be careful) but Maya's 2022 thread if you are able to see Twitter/X is interesting on this person and women's rights

Asmug, misogynistic, hypocritical, condescending Brexity twat who defended a convicted rapist of a teenage boy just because he was a fellow conservative MP.

NeighbourhoodWatchPotholeDivision · 26/10/2023 21:59

Sorry, Khan is a convicted sexual offender. Not 'rapist'.

TogetherWeLearn · 26/10/2023 22:03

Just when you think the Tories can’t actually get any worse they manage to set the bar even lower.

Redshoeblueshoe · 26/10/2023 22:12

When Crispin was married to a woman he said that a lot of gay men had pedophilic tendencies.

Everyone thought he was just homophobic twat.

bombastix · 26/10/2023 22:16

Urgh he gets worse. I hope this gets sorted quickly for everyone's sake.

The Telegraph, April 12th 2022

In a statement published on his website, Mr Blunt, who came out as gay in 2010, said: "I am utterly appalled and distraught at the dreadful miscarriage of justice that has befallen my friend and colleague Imran Ahmad Khan, MP for Wakefield since December 2019.

"His conviction today is nothing short of an international scandal, with dreadful wider implications for millions of LGBT+ Muslims around the world.

"I sat through some of the trial. The conduct of this case relied on lazy tropes about LGBT+ people that we might have thought we had put behind us decades ago.

"As a former justice minister, I was prepared to testify about the truly extraordinary sequence of events that has resulted in Imran being put through this nightmare start to his parliamentary career."

Mr Blunt concluded saying he hoped "for the return" of Khan, 48, to public service, stating that "any other outcome will be a stain on our reputation for justice".

It was later revealed that Blunt had been very selective in which parts of the trial he attended; notably, not the part where the victim's parents took the stand to explain the impact the assault had had on their son.
