Any excuse to post this:

Best. Thing. Ever.

Argus Comments being uncharacteristically restrained on this one, apart from reasonably pointing out that:

a) prospective candidate has no real connection to the town
b) prospective candidate is a Palace fan

i found this guy amusing as a comedian .......not so as a woman.

I don't think she's trying to amuse you as a woman.

 

[sydney]

I don't think she's trying to amuse you as a woman.

well as a palace fan from South London attempting to become an M.P for Brighton i think he's definitely trying to amuse someone.

The vast majority of the (Brighton) electorate neither know nor care about football team allegiances.

*She's*

Supports Palace don’t they?

Izzard's preferred pronouns are she/her, not they/them.

*She's* debatable at best shirley

sorry , is this a Brighton related forum with the main subject of its content being football....

Do you approach every question in your life with "Well, as an Albion Superfan, I..."?

 

[Curious Orange]

Izzard's preferred pronouns are she/her, not they/them.

He also isn't precious about anyone using he/him, and quite rightly so.

Nobody should attempt to dictate how people speak based on their own view of themselves. That doesn't mean people can't be accomodating though, and I hope as a society we are beyond caring how people choose to present.

no .....no i don't , do you visit other chatrooms where the merits of transitioning , would be politicians are discussed at length.....is it a pet subject..??

But football isn't the subject of this thread. Are you seriously suggesting no Brighton fan should vote for Eddie based on football club issue? If so you have lost any sense of proportion.

the sentance is correct regardless of gender politics. one might say "Zamora is the best Brighton player of recent times, aren't they?", rather than "...isn't he". we mustn't hijack "they" and limit it's use in normal language. there is a dedicated pronoun for neutral, "ze", use that.

You LITERALLY called her 'a woman' in your previous post, you berk!

Teachers answer every question in life with 'Well, as a teacher, I'....

Not mine though

 

[Chicken Run]

If Eddie gets selected and if she gets elected (two BIG if’s) then I hope her first job is to march into City clean Hollingdean depot and sort those lot out, I’m sure that will go down a storm

Totally agree. What does it matter? How many people have we met/worked with/etc that we eventually find out various parts of their life, including football club preference, and (unless they are an Always Ultra) it makes not a jot of difference? She's hardly going to do anything anti-Albion if elected!!

More recently she has said no on can really get it wrong... unless you call her Kenneth or Sabrina

Eddie Izzard clears up her pronouns and says 'no one can really get it wrong'

Fans shared their support as the comedian took to Twitter to open up about her preferred name - but said that she does not mind if people continue to call her Eddie and can only get it wrong if they call her "Kenneth or Sabrina".

Eitherway in relation to the thread Lee Anderson is a nasty peice of work, hopefully as its a closely run seat, Labour or the Ashfield Independants (despite their chequered recent events) will oust him shortly...his brand of politics is not needed. This country needs more Eddie Izzards!!
