Just watched it, it featured Benjamin Butterworth, George Galloway and Rose of Dawn. BB got his arse handed to him by Piers and Rose was brilliant! Well worth a watch! It was on at 8.15 so you can watch it in an hours time if you're at home. Also Twitter reactions were v positive, with pp wanting to buy the book as a result!

@ArabellaScott

I love Benjamin Butterworth, I think they should get him on all the time.

You can imagine it can’t you, Stonewall on the phone to him now “mate, please, do us a favour, just don’t say anything else. I’ll re-send you the Dentons report.”

Is the whole segment available? I can't find it.

NotBadConsidering · 16/09/2020 09:46

I also don’t get how any of these people are elevated to opinion-worthy. As far as I can tell Butterworth is a mediocre journalist who writes middle of the road articles for a mediocre online news service, prominently advertises the fact he’s written for the Washington Post and Guardian, even though he’s only written three articles total for those publications (and the Guardian two were years ago) and likes to gloss over the fact he identified as black to get a position once. How does someone like that even get to a position of prominence that they’d invited to embarrass themselves on national television?

Piers saying I'm not cis ! Grin

Do they have a mould somewhere that they cast these odd little woke-scolding men out of? See Ben, little O.J., Dr Haddock etc.

@NotBadConsidering

Just reading Benjamin “I identify as black” Buttersworth’s own tweet about it and he’s getting slammed. Ha ha!
From one of the comments on the twitter feed: "You made George Galloway look rational."

They seem to love having BB on that programme, he's been on three times before this that I can think of. I think we can all see why! Grin

morningtoncrescent62 · 16/09/2020 09:40

Does anyone know if a clip of the full segment is available anywhere?

gardenbird48 · 16/09/2020 09:38

Saw it - BB is trending.

Escapeplanning · 16/09/2020 09:35

What a strange little man he is. Why does anyone want to know what he has to say, other than for the laughs?

Dragonsanddinosaurs · 16/09/2020 09:33

Thanks for this thread. I'm watching it now, interesting stuff. I've already bought the book, looking forward to reading it.

CaraDuneRedux · 16/09/2020 09:28

Oh this is glorious... Thank you for telling me about this OP.

crosspost, Clymene!

DeaconBoo · 16/09/2020 09:21

Does the fact that Benjamin Butterworth previously identified as Black ever get brought up?

Let's never forget that benny button took a place from a black delegate so he could attend an NUS LGBT conference.

It's not available on Hub which is frustrating. That Twitter clip is only a snippet of Benjamin Butterworts rant.

endofthelinefinally · 16/09/2020 09:15

I am watching ITV+1 atm. Should be on in a minute.
Glad I saw this thread.

Watch it here

LizzieSiddal · 16/09/2020 09:14

He’s now getting a rinsing on Twitter and he deserves it.

It’s also ironic that he won’t listen to an actual trans person- Rose.

PurpleHoodie · 16/09/2020 09:11

ITV Hub

PegasusReturns · 16/09/2020 09:07

Is there anywhere to watch it?
