UKIP also has a big profile in Kent, I guess - remember Rochester and Strood? Then again, it also has quite a high proportion of immigrants and asylum seekers, so seeking to characterise Kent commuters as a uniformly reactionary group is lazy at best.
I've just read Lucy Bannerman's longer piece inside the paper, which talks in detail about clinicians' concerns that the Tavistock is using transgender identity as a means of conversion therapy for gay children. It's really difficult to understand why a gay man wouldn't be concerned about this. But OJ's response is never to engage with the arguments, but always to say, in effect: "This publication is a BAD publication, therefore everything it publishes must be BAD." It's hardly worthy of someone with a history degree from one of our top universities.
