Oh I'm so impressed with Justin Webb. Well done! BC did not come across well. Perhaps because he's wrong...

NellieEllie · 08/06/2021 08:03

Gavin Esler was great. “GC is NOT the polite word for transphobic you know that.”.
Simon Fanshawe was flippin’ fantastic, clear, fair, measured, articulate, got the practical points across - self Id, sport, women’s spaces. Excellent.
Ben. Well - yes, 3 “Cis” people talking about trans. But then Stonewall turned down offer (wonder why) so they turned down chance of a trans speaker. AND NOT ONE WOMAN EITHER, but Ben didn’t see that as an issue.....

BriocheForBreakfast · 08/06/2021 08:02

Awesome own goal rant by BC 😂

But but but no-one here discussing trans rights is trans. Yes, Ben, and none of them were women either but that didn't bother you.

Well done Simon and thanks for your patience, Justin.

MoonCatcher · 08/06/2021 08:02

Well done Ben Cohen, you did a brilliant job there, just not for the position you thought you were representing.

GlencoraP · 08/06/2021 08:02

Just had to turn off , I agree a Justin was doing ok but BC was ridiculous , no idea of how to discuss things rationally

tootyfruitypickle · 08/06/2021 08:02

That was amazing!

Pink News guy was absolutely terrible . Massive own goal.

I am so happy. Sense is beginning to prevail

Shedbuilder · 08/06/2021 08:02

Benjamin Cohen saying that GC means 'transphobic': talk about doubling down. Cohen's shouty and talking across Justin all the time, denying that Stonewall is trying to get self-ID through, denying that there's any issue with women's safe spaces, calling anyone who opposes him/ Stonewall transphobic and homophobic...

Nothing new, just woke-stirring.

peachescariad · 08/06/2021 08:01

Shouting at the radio here... Justin just cut him off!! Fabulous! Pink news guy couldn't even string a coherent sentence together...you could hear the hysteria rising in his voice and that's why we can't have a decent debate about the EA and single sex spaces.

Vargas · 08/06/2021 08:01

Simon Fanshawe won that by a first round knockout.

zafferana · 08/06/2021 08:01

Absolutely typical that the person defending Stonewall was an angry, aggressive, unpleasant male who was combative and shouty and spent the entire time trotting out the usual slogans.

InglouriousBasterd · 08/06/2021 08:00

That was brilliant. Well done Justin.

MoonCatcher · 08/06/2021 08:00

@somethinginoffensive

Apparently 3 men talking about transgender issues is a problem. Any women in the discussion?!
Women don't matter unless they're trans women.
Oblahdeeoblahdoe · 08/06/2021 08:00

Absolutely brilliant! What a dick BC is!

TheWatersofMarch · 08/06/2021 08:00

Justin is doing a good job with this appalling second interviewer. Even my OH is incredulous (and he's a bit TWAW)

Igmum · 08/06/2021 08:00

Cracking interviewer Justin Webb. Now that was quality journalism. And about time too

Hotcuppatea · 08/06/2021 08:00

Thanks Benjamin. It's always great when the TRAs reveal themselves to a large audience like that.

Pyjamagame · 08/06/2021 08:00

Should we club together and send Ben some flowers?!

NoToast · 08/06/2021 08:00

Stonewall not doing interviews and only retweeting on Twitter. Must all be in a meeting.

GoodbyePorpoiseSpit · 08/06/2021 07:59

I’m LOVING this. He is now falling back on comparing transphobia and anti semetism. Simon Famshawe was excellent.

Horizons83 · 08/06/2021 07:59

Wow wow wow, that was brilliant. Such eloquence from Pink News.

Ridcully82 · 08/06/2021 07:59

This person speaking from Stonewall's Pov (as they won't come on) is doing GC people's job today

Igmum · 08/06/2021 07:59

Wow Benjamin Cohen is an idiot

Big grins at this end

Justin “you know nothing about me!”

Glorious Grin
