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. 👇

(the new leader of the UK Greens Party: Zack Polanski)

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

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

Jeremy, I have emailed YP repeatedly since it became clear that it was a party for transphobes and rich landlords to ask that my details are removed from your database, and this has not been done, not even an acknowledgement.

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

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

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,....

She's been jailed - to be raped every night.

She's in a male jail. Despite living as female since she was 13.

Can't see Polanski being invited onto QT again. The single left wing voice on the panel was a refreshing change. I'm sure Farage will be on it next week to compensate for the BBC's slip up last night. www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

R4 - Today

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.)
