It is staggering that he apparently just stood up and voiced someone else's information to influence a law without the content of what he said ever passing through his brain.
Having been forced to LARP a belief not held in regard to people being able to transubstantiate, and that the evidence of our eyes and ears is nothing before faith, under threat of job loss, vilification, arrest, because of people in power like him , we are now going to have to LARP sympathy that apparent people in a responsible position had no idea what they were enabling, and are now horrified and wanting to talk. Because without that patience there is no way to undo this mess and find a balance where everything and everyone can go back to co existing in mutual tolerance.
Which does not help, when what I'd really like to do is tell him in great detail what I think of him and what he's helped to do to women and children, and wonder what exactly he thinks tax payers are paying him for.
That never gets added into the definition of 'actual' woman, does it? The ones who regardless of everyone else's behaviours always have to take a deep breath, put themselves aside and help and encourage others to pick up their mess. Because if they don't, no other bugger is going to do it.
