okay, brace yourselves for this folks.

An english politician speaking honestly and (in my view) accurately, without a hint of spin, racism or rhetoric. And the audience clapped!

This is not AI. this actually happened on BBC last night. 👇

Oh dear that failed spectacularly as the BBC arranged an all-right-wing panel to challenge Green leader Zack Polanski on Question Time last night. But he schooled them all. And it was a perfect example of how to cut through establishment propaganda with clarity and compassion.
Zack Polanski schooling a right-wing BBCQT panel was a brilliant lesson in how to beat propaganda

I am still getting regular spam from you. This is illegal.

So...he enjoyed it, right up until he knew she was trans.

Why is that her problem?

Perhaps they could make a list of all the things that everyone needs to disclose before sex...STDs, fertility state, vaccinated or not, mixed race,....

Bridget Philipson said "It's critical that Jewish students are able to conduct their studies and express their Jewish identities"

(Apparently, Jewish identities are more valid than trans identities.)
