Crispin Blunt is rhyming slang and has been for a while.MP Crispin Blunt is doing a sterling job of trying to trash his party's reputation for law and order, by releasing a statement claiming the guilty verdict in question is a miscarriage of justice:
Worth bearing in mind the Tory Party have expelled Khan in response to the verdict, so Blunt is also going against his party with this arguably defamatory statement.
A truly monumental own goal. He claims that his paedo mate was the victim of some unsavoury homophobic tropes during the trial, which may or may not be true. But the optics of a gay paedophile being defended immediately on conviction by another gay man are terrible, and will only fuel the most virulent forms of homphobia.
Blunt has been having a personal ethical crisis for some time and one can only hope he is removed at the next election.
