Sorry but I am totally #peaktrans ed about the fact that Aimee Challenor, who wants to rename women 'non-men' and gain access to female-only spaces, hired his father as his election agent when he must have already been charged with rape and kidnapping.
Aimee must have known as the crime took place in the family home and would have surely been interviewed by the police as a witness.
First Jess Bradley and now this. Aimee clearly isn't responsible for his father's actions, but this doesn't stack up well for transactivists, and he does bear a responsibility for involving his father in his political campaigning.
@TheGreenParty must surely make some acknowledgement of this. If not, lose all credibility.
This is why @CarolineLucas needs to make a statement on this. It seems likely that local people would have known about the accusations - Aimee aside, did these really never reach the ears of the local party? Did no one think to inform more senior members? I'm incredulous
I'm going to write a letter to Caroline Lucas about this. I guess most tweets just die in the twittersphere
The people who are calling for sympathy for Aimee - give it a rest. The fact that Aimee hates on women, and campaigns for self-id means he is dangerous. Yes, he is also probably a victim. But it is an important fact that needs to be exposed.
Final tweet to this thread. Here is an interview with David and Aimee Challenor, which makes clear that the former was very involved in Green Party politics. m.soundcloud.com/noxaimora/aime…

First a visit to the exhibition, which was very sparse.
