[Politics] Eddie Izzard

[sydney]

No he doesn’t.

if it came to a debate, Eddie Izzard would tie Lee Anderson up in knots.

indeed , seen him live a few times , very funny and way too smart and quick for most.

 

[amexer]

The bright new board seems to have persuaded me to get involved in 'political' threads rather than Albion ones, just once.
I come here to write about the Albion. If you want the other stuff it's on my Facebook page, every day. That's the only plug for it I'll do on here and this is the only 'political' comment I'll do on here.
Forty years ago Lee Anderson would have had no hair and DMs: he'd have tried to attack our gigs and been thrown out with the rest of his bonehead mates. He would have scabbed during the miners' strike.
Now he's an MP.
This shows what a disgusting cesspit of filth the Tory Party has become.
Back to football

Just typical of anything near political on here, over the top comments. What do Rosie Duffields comments say about her her party.

30p Lee was in the Labour party until he received a Community Order from the police, and Labour threw him out. He also got a mate to open the door when he was canvassing in 2019, and was then found out.
So he is a thug, a liar, a deceiver and a very nasty piece of work regardless of his views on gender etc

 

[Motogull]

Love him or hate him, he’s a decent person who‘s done some great things to help charitable causes.

Does he deserve this sort of abuse from an MP?

‘Playground bully’ Lee Anderson’s remarks described as ‘vile and disgusting’ by MPs from his own party

I love him.

He deserves abuse from nobody.

Maybe the time has come to redefine public toilet options. Stand up to piss or not? Bin off the M&F and in their place have drawings of todgers or vertical bacon sandwiches.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Lee Anderson wanted Johnson back, enough said about him really.

 

[Peteinblack]

Seems that many Tory MPs have little to offer these days except derogatory comments, insults, name-calling and applying pejorative labels to people - Braverman's recent "Guardian-reading, tofu-eating, Wokerati" being a good example.

Of course, whenever anyone calls these people out for their insults and smears, the response is invariably "Oh diddums, you snowflakes are trying to take away my freedom-of-speech."). It's endless gaslighting and goading, and then playing the victim when they're challenged.

The Party which has produced such prominent leaders as Benjamin Disraeli, Stanley Baldwin, Winston Churchill, Harold Macmillan, and (it pains me to acknowledge) Margaret Thatcher really seems to have sunk into the gutter.

The Tories are now the Party of 'culture wars', dog-whistle politics and divide-and-rule, which panders to the prejudices of elderly Daily Mail readers and the uneducated - in 2019, far more of the working-class voted Conservative than the middle class; I know a few ex-Tories - including a local councilor until May this year but who has resigned from the council and the Party - who are now embarrassed and disgusted by what today's Tory Party has degenerated into, and who it is pandering to. It may have won the Red Wall in the north, but in southern England, the Blue Wall is starting to crumble.

" I love him . He deserves abuse from nobody " are you sure ?

She might not be happy with the misgendering there , after all she has been in girl mode for almost 2 years now .

[A1X]

Britain would be a better place with more Eddie Izzards and fewer Lee Andersons

 

[Superphil]

Izzard is not he anymore, she is now most definitely she.

Not comfortable with terms like working or middle class in a modern situation but it's not unusual for lower paid people to vote Tory. In the past lots voted Tory as it was an anticatholic(Irish) vote. In rural areas it's often anti urban/townee vote. They believed what their 'masters" said about threats to their livelihoods.

Lee Anderson is a ****.

It seems to me that the whole choose your own preferred pronouns thing is a bit of a fad (though I could be proven wrong on that). It just isn't worth getting upset over a male being referred to as him, or a female as her.

I was going to write a longer post from here, but it was getting pretentious. So I'll shorten it to just saying that nobody should be bothered by how people present or who they snog in this day and age.

If someone what's me to call them certain pronouns I can do my best to do that. If they want me to call them then or they I can do my best to do that too.

I agree that it may be trendy for some people at the moment and perhaps this fad aspect may diminish in time and leave people who it affects more fully.

Either way I am happy to support them if that is what they want. Just like if people want me to pronounce their name differently.

"It is not clear whether her Sherlock will be played as a trans woman or as a man." Indeed. It it would seem counter-intuitive for him to identify as a woman then take a male role.

They say Labour aren't as huge, world-class transphobic bigots as Duffield is? Just the acceptable amount of bigotry for them, mind
