Yeah, sure. Even though by his own admission he wasn't in on the "joke" until recently.

If you were going to "cleverly" pretend that this whole thing was an ingenious windup, you really should have started doing so a lot earlier. I know you lot have a track record of going through desperate contortions to pretend that things aren't the case when you don't want them to be for whatever reason (e.g. a rabid determination to avoid admitting that speed cameras kill people...can't have the anti-motorist effort being harmed), and it's usually very obvious that you're doing so, but in this case it's *even more* obvious than normal. Give it up eh?

You're just making the URC "regulars" look even more ridicuous than they do already. If you want to "get this group back on track" then this is not the way to do it (in fact anything which involves defending, rather than ostracising, Chapman is just going to make things even worse for you, assuming that's possible).
