Yeah I've heard that, Hedley would've been a leading contender prior to the allegations being made, I don't think he'll get it this time.
I heard a rumour Gordon's a public schoolboy though....

If someone makes a claim, I like to look at the evidence for myself. It's an interesting figure and shockingly high if true.
But yes, an odd way of attacking the RMT.

So what do you think the stats are?
And what do you think my motivation is? And what "bullshit" are you speaking of?

There's a petition going around to say it's all a bit shit on facebook. No link because I'm on my phone as per.

Steve Hedley is shit.

What with there not being much internal democracy in TUSC, something like this was bound to happen.

"from the left" = "from the self-selecting left"
afaik steve hedley's not been convicted or disciplined by any tribunal, be it rmt or hmg or otherwise. one thing i would hope even socialists believed in was the principle of 'innocent till proven guilty' - because otherwise all the hullaballoo about things like the demonisation of winston silcott etc is but the work of unprincipled hypocrites. given the way the rmt inquiry ended, with the complaint apparently withdrawn by caroline leneghan, it's not surprising that some people, perhaps many people, consider steve hedley guilty. but as the complaint hasn't been tested by any competent body a better way out of this situation could have been to say that while the suspicion of domestic violence hangs over him, steve hedley should not be considered as a candidate in part because of any opprobrium that might attach to the tusc. but then i can't say ever noticed swappies or swappies who exchange the swp for another organisation with similar politics have ever been associated with great honesty.

Hardly getting over it.
Your figures are from where?
The act of rape suggests misogyny, not you.
Surely a better question is "why would they be?", unless you're opining that simply existing as a male under patriarchy is indicative of misogyny?
Does being a member suddenly make you a misogynist?
Many implies a majority.
Your suspicions, by the way, are irrelevant. What's important are facts.
Thanks for that utterly quotidian "insight" into social relations. it doesn't, as you appear to think, provide support for your prior contentions/opinions, though. It just states a rather banal reality - that society isn't homogeneous, and that some people "other" some other people, for whatever lunatic reason.

Disingenuous. He hasn't claimed that any have flawed methodology. he's said he won't form an opinion until he can see for himself what the "methodologies etc" are. Exactly the same as anyone with the skill to read a research paper would and should. Sounding off without checking the dataset, and what the dataset has been deployed to say is the work of an idiot.

1 in 5 women in the UK between 16 and 59 has experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16. That's probably where this 1 in 5 assertion derived.

Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
Steve Hedley was cleared of all alleged acts, the woman in question had severe problems and the abuse was found to be completely fabricated.

Were her facial injuries self-inflicted or inflicted by someone else (but not by Headley)?

Bear with me I'll find the links .. (As an aside I know both parties personally).. apparently injuries sustained were mainly self-inflicted .. will dig out sources.

It was printed in The Times that he had been cleared over the allegations..the "hearing " that you say hasn't taken place took the form of Police Interviews iirc
ETA: An investigation and 2 appeals were carried out by the RMT at the request of the alleged (at the time) victim.. Hedley was found "not guilty " or having no case to answer each time.

You're not really helping the situation with this

I'll need to ask and find out... they certainly established that there was no case to answer.

If you mean the police, the most they could establish would be if there was sufficient evidence to prosecute.

It's very selective this "no platform for sexists and their groups", isn't it? I mean it only seems to be applied to Trot groups by people in other far left outfits.

Nothing you have posted so far proves this. Also, your bit about her having 'severe problems' sounds rather like the line of investigation (by rmt) that she objected to.
As with any case like this, it's wrong to castigate the accused without grounds, but equally it's wrong to come out with stuff like this without good evidence.
