The really depressing thing about that twitter thread is the number of people who haven't picked up that the "women" he refers to are male-bodied, and just reply to say yes, yep, it's ok to hit a woman who attacks you Sad. I'm not sure he's really got the point across in a helpful way.

Is it because he wants to make you laugh at the untouchable, or is it a political point?

Probably a bit of both, but in this particular case, I feel it's very much more of a political point. The absurdity of the reporting on this case originally should have been the WTF moment for everyone.

But transwoman using thuggery and violence against someone would NEVER happen.

One comment: if a woman has bollocks you can kick them Grin

Ricky's USP is to make you laugh at something you don't think is funny. Nothing is sacrosanct.

And he's bloody good at it.

I do wonder about this. That's the third time he has used humour to show up the trans ideology.

Is it because he wants to make you laugh at the untouchable, or is it a political point?
