Oh no, not people
It doesn’t get much more absurd than this.
Who is Brian Piddick? Profile: Lib Dem Spokesperson on Home Affairs in House of Lords. Ran for Mayor of London 2008 & 2012.
He’s a politician. That’s what he does. Politicians engage with lots of people; that’s what they do. It’s the nature of the work: engaging with lots of people. Yet here he is complaining because lots of people are talking to him.
Maybe he identifies as a recluse?
‘People’ aren’t accusing him “…of being a misogynist, in favour of rape as a form of punishment & a drug dealer*” because he said “…people should be housed on the prison estate on a case-by-case risk assessment basis”.
(*I haven’t seen that drug dealer accusation, just the other two)
They’re accusing him “…of being a misogynist, in favour of rape as a form of punishment…” because he said that men should be housed on the female prison estate on a case-by-case risk assessment basis and voted against an amendment which would have kept men out. Given that half the men claiming to be women in order to be transferred to the female estate have been incarcerated because they’ve been convicted of sex crimes and pose a clear danger to women and children, you’d think that would be an easy amendment to vote for. Unless, I suppose, you’re a misogynist in favour of rape as a form of punishment for women who fail to pay fines.
