MP comes out as transgender

COVID-19 came from space

I bloody KNEW IT.

Fake PhD? Who elects these people?

"'Dr' Jamie Wallis was also kicked off a Tory council in 2018, wrote that COVID-19 came from space and has a PhD from a 'private' university's department where he is the only member of staff, and all its other certificates seem to have been awarded to members of his family"

Don't be daft. You can just google him and you get her name and the fact that there are two kids.
And as Bore points out, he was happy to mention them himself when campaigning for office. Cake and eat it.

OK, I apologise.

Although Wallis appears to have airbrushed his wife and family from his history, despite mentioning them when standing for public office, I shouldn't have provided the (publicly available) proof.

She may, very understandably, no longer wish to be associated with him.

Well I certainly would not be standing by him. Pimping out children on the website would be enough for me.

I really feel for Mrs Wallis whether she has stuck by him or not.

He has too very young children as well

The name is in the linked newspaper article and Wikipedia

No I agree not really fair to bring her into it, it must be difficult enough as it is.

Of course it is. It’s in the public domain.

@BoreOfWhabylon it's not OK to publicly ID his wife in this situation.

It is funny seeing many of the Labour supporting TRAs struggling with their immediate hatred of any Tory-identified individuals and their immediate love of any trans-identified individuals.

I'm of the opinion that all politicians are dodgy regardless of party. But this one seems to be a lot worse!

How long before he resigns due to hateful transphobia?

I don't think he will resign due to transphobia of any kind given what a warm embrace he has had from all political parties across the board, and the media coverage has been wall to wall positivity given he runs a pimp racket and was involved in a hit and run, none of those sordid details have surfaced just yet.

Given Jamie is not even sure he is trans after all, and still wants to be known as he/him it is not a given he will become a her/they etc anyway.
Personally I feel he probably needs time out to process, it is overwhelming to be dealing with rape, court cases, PTSD, hit and run car crash and now gender confusion. In his place I would want some space to process and get some help away from the public eye.

Janie.
Home I agree. I assume personal integrity or moral choices and business interests, ethics and decisions will often follow a similar trajectory. I don’t want any of that in elected office thanks.

[quote witheringrowan]@CarbonelCat Jamie also claims to have completed a Phd in Astrobiology, awarded by Cardiff University in 2014. However, Jamie's supervisor, NC Wickramasinghe left Cardiff in 2011, and it is unclear who the external examiners were. twitter.com/johnsweeneyroar/status/1229875059197698061/photo/1[/quote]
Hmm I hope a good journo is following this up with Cardiff University!!

Cheating on his wife and rape are different matters. Nothing ‘mitigates’ the perpetrator’s status or the seriousness of the crime. No one deserves rape by dint of risk. We really need to protect this position.

But alongside that we are allowed an opinion on the integrity of cheaters, and have a right to know what businesses our representatives run.

My ex had gay hookups. Apparently they weren't gay hookups because he is a straight woman now. He also used that as an excuse for being an abusive arsehole to me and the kids because he wasn't living as his authentic self.

Obviously the fact that he was raped while trying to cheat is heinous. Assuming he was still married, that is.

Anyway, MPs do cheat and don’t get deselected anymore (Matt Hancock), but I don’t feel bad about saying Wallis sounds deceptive, sexist, law-breaking, and a bit like a pimp. I don’t care about him being gay or trans. I think our communities deserve better.
