Crispin Blunt on drugs charges

remind me - wasn’t this guy a defender of the Pride in Surrey mob or have I got him mixed up?

Yes, and I seem to remember him being involved in trying to get Lisa Townsend (Surrey Police and Crime Commissioner) in trouble for her GC views.

He's only just been charged when the drugs were found in October 2023?

The report mentions that the drugs were found during a rape investigation for which the charges were dropped. And you’re right @FigRollsAlly - he was an opponent of Lisa Townsend.

He is a nasty misogynist bastard

Couldn't happen a nicer man.

His brother is a KC. I think he does criminal work, so maybe he'll defend Ol' Crisp for mates rates?

Perhaps there is a bigger story here and police were building a case? But interesting that he was so vigorously campaigning against a GC police commissioner isn’t it?

There was that time he seemed to be incandescent with rage that some dirty back room deal to influence legislation to tread further on women’s rights fell through. The way they did it seemed to be in order to evade public scrutiny.

He seems (to me) to be big on men having rights to wave their c&cks anywhere they want. I must admit (my view, others may differ) I regard him as an unsavoury geezer.

He never seems to go away, despite making many public mis-steps.

Here are a few of the threads about him. There are probably more but MN's search function is useless.

Wow he’s really been working his way thoroughly through the rules of misogyny hasn’t he?

Sadly he isn't the only one, and for some unknown reason, the media has always been supportive of him.

I wonder why?

You're far too kind @RhannionKPSS

He's a nasty little creep, isn't he.

I recall Blunt regaling parliament, some years ago, about his fondness for chem-sex. It was all very seedy and you can see how he's been drawn into the darker reaches of the gay male sex scene.

There are some challenging discussions to be had about this type of man and how they've had an inordinate influence on the removal of women's rights to privacy and safety and child safeguarding.
The grim Russell Lloyd-Moyle (now thankfully an ex MP) lectured parliament about his approval of sex work and porn and if I recall correctly wanted teachers to teach children about niche aspects of porn. Just like the equally repellant Peter Tatchell demands that schools run compulsory lessons for teenagers talking about pleasure in sex.

It's framed as speaking openly about sex with dissenters being pearl clutching prudes. In fact it's a cohort of sexually incontinent men adults who are unable to maintain boundaries & have little insight into age appropriateness and the right to privacy and safety of others.

It is at least an amusing case of nominative determinism. Since he wants to be down with the kids, maybe he'll start calling himself Chronic Blunt.

And many men, and sadly some women too, judge women according to male standards and norms of sexual behaviour.

Don't hold back @RhannionKPSS 😂

Totally, absolutely and fully agree with you
He's always struck me as a bit of a creep. Funny how there's often something unsavoury around these TRAs isn't it?

His name's already rhyming slang, isn't it?

It is that, but I do feel strongly that if Crispin starts to do a "how do you do fellow kids" thing, he'll be quoting 30 year old Kevin Smith movies and thinking this is really modern shit.

Jo Bartosch wrote an interesting piece about dear Crispin’s ‘counselling’ of Lisa Townsend in 2022here: https://unherd.com/2022/01/inside-the-tory-trans-civil-war/

Counselled, eh? Ordered is a more appropriate word.

A walking red flag. One of the most toxic trans rights activists that's ever been in Parliament. Vile man.

Isn't GBL a date rape drug?

Yeah it can be used as one
