Vote for the guy who abuses women
A registered sex offender has been confirmed as a candidate in the upcoming Hartlepool by-elections.
Christopher Killick, who is on the ballot for the May 6 vote, was sentenced for voyeurism last year for filming a naked woman in a hotel room while she was asleep.
“Sex offender” doesn’t even cover it. That offends privacy, safety, women’s ability to leave the house and exist in public space, the ability to feel like a person among other persons – it turns a woman into a masturbation prop for men, a thing, an object, a tool. It’s funny how the purported feelings of men who say they are women are all-important while the unavoidable feelings of violated women are worth nothing at all.
Police dropped the rape charge due to a lack of evidence, but during their investigation they discovered a 62-second video of the woman lying naked on the hotel bed which Killick admitted to having taken for his later sexual gratification.
Prosecutors told the victim that his filming was not illegal multiple times, which led to her crowdfunding for a judicial review.
…
Asked whether he intended to tell the electorate about his convictions, he said: “I started this process planning to tell everyone, but I got a bit frightened.
“I do understand how it will be difficult for some people, perhaps everyone, to trust me.”
Especially when they learn that he tried to campaign for this office while keeping his disgusting violation of a woman’s privacy and safety secret.
How is this guy even eligible to run? This is not something to be normalized.
I’m sure you were going to feature this prominently in your campaign literature, and all your speeches. “Warning: Lark’s vomit.”
So why even run, when nobody has good reason to trust you? Unless publicizing your behaviour is part of your paraphilia, in which case you’ll have scads of people defending you against “kink shaming.” Come out as trans as well, and you’re good to go.

Damn monkey-hangers will probably vote him in.
But what about the duck drowners?
Roj,
On balance, I’m against the drowning of ducks too, although I’m guessing this is a colloquial term for heavy rain?
I should explain that the people of Hartlepool are well-known in these parts for hanging monkeys at every possible opportunity:

For this and many other reasons, Hartlepool is considered an Enemy County by…. well, by every other county in the UK or otherwise. But especially by the people of County Durham, where I live.
Regardless, this Killick character seems deeply sinister. If he didn’t drug and rape that poor woman too, I will eat my tyres. Likewise if this was his only offence. But we humans seem quite keen on voting for men who commit sexual assaults against women.
