Just seen this on twitter, or "X" , and thought I'd share. I always liked Lowri Turner, even more so now.

That was impressive and it was so obvious Kumar had no idea what he was talking about or why women are objecting.

Lowri was very calm, in a way that I find it hard to achieve on this topic. I’m pleased to see this.

RealityFan · 29/08/2023 11:02

Gosh, Kumar becomes ever more dislikeable every time I see him. What's with the FUCKING SCREECHING?!

Just shouting and screaming hysterically does not a comedian make. Maybe an unhinged ranter on the TRA side at a LWS rally. But not as any kind of attempt at being a comedian or indeed being anyone who has the opportunity to express views to the great British public.

Loved Lowri's putdown. A calm, measured pithy FUCK YOU that we're self frothing over, um, nothing at all.

Wow, Kumar really did screech like a banshee in that video. If his argument is “but there are only about 12 trans people” then that’s not going to cut it, I’m afraid. This isn’t about 12 trans people. It’s about men, and what this ideology does to the dignity, safety and privacy of women, our achievements in society and the language we use; the right for gay and lesbian people to be exclusively same-sex attracted without being cancelled, and the right for children to grow up gay or gender non-conforming without being pushed on an unnecessary pathway to transition.

Love Mr Menno, a true ally to women.

I think Mr Menno features that clip of Kumar screeching in one of his discussion videos.

You're right. Mr Menno has a really good video where he dissects Kumar's attack on Ricky Gervais:

Mic drop! I’ve never been a fan of Lowri but she was brilliant here - calm, measured and articulate as she shut Nish down and left him looking like a fish out of water. How frustrating that the presenter then let Nish off the hook, hastily changing the subject so he didn’t have to respond. A missed opportunity to get this man to explain exactly why he thinks it’s all a big fuss over nothing, when women are losing their single-sex spaces, their sports and achievements, even the language they use to define themselves.

At least this conversation brought some more sunlight, as Nish Kumar was trending on Twitter afterwards.

Good for her.

I've seen Kumar scream like an unhinged banshee about someone's take on transgenderism, Ricky Gervais, I think.

Her flat non acceptance of what he's saying is unequivocal. Can't have been easy, esp if she knows how he can get.

TeenEyeroll · 29/08/2023 08:00

He’s so shallow.

What a superficial skimming of the issue whilst doing lots of facial and vocal posturing to suggest he feels strongly.

I imagine he could read out the ingredients on a ketchup bottle and sound equally impassioned and narked.

Its all an act.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 29/08/2023 07:40

You’ve got to wonder what his thoughts on Isla Bryson would be

does he think people who don’t think women should be locked up with Bryson have a ‘brain worm’?

nice response from Lowri. Respect

RexWillKillYou · 29/08/2023 07:35

Well done Lowri T. that was excellent. Nish Kumar needs more contumelious rejection of his nonsense!

MrsJamin · 29/08/2023 04:45

Nish is the one with a brainworm and it's called confirmation bias. He only sees the world as backing up his worldview that trans people are vulnerable, women don't matter and the papers are obsessed for the wrong reasons. I hope he reflected on what Lowri said, although that bias will kick in again probably to protect his previously held beliefs.

FictionalCharacter · 29/08/2023 02:54

@IwantToRetire You’re absolutely right. What women think, say, need and want is so far out of their realm of consciousness, they’re quite taken aback when we speak up.

Turquoisemonkies · 29/08/2023 02:05

Why can’t we just put our concerns across without being labelled as trans phobic.
Shutting down any kind of productive discussion.

If I start with something simple like the fact that statistically men rape more women than women do, therefore I’m quite keen that that risk is minimised in toilets and changing rooms where women go.

I genuinely don’t wish any harm upon any trans person. I also sympathise with what most trans people have been through in life BUT, I also want to get people to see that there’s a reason that we have to make women only spaces exclusively for women and that’s because actual data shows that men kill and rape women more than the other way round.

Boiledbeetle · 29/08/2023 01:53

Pillock

Well played Lowri
IwantToRetire · 29/08/2023 00:50

Its almost like they have all been given the same script.

Nothing to see here.

(Right wing) media gone mad

Poor trans people being bullied.

And when someone, like Lowri points out that the issue is about women's rights they just look blank. It just doesn't register. Women? What have women go to do with it?

Unfortunately these men are a living example of how a badly programmed (or rather biasly programmed) AI bot would response.

If women dont ever filter into you consciousness then obviously you are baffled that somehow they think they have a voice.

Is it the male brain, or the male training of brains.

Thingybob · 29/08/2023 00:45

he knows he's been well harropped.

😂😂😂😂

AutumnCrow · 29/08/2023 00:37

On the link that @miri1985 posted, click on the bottom bigger picture. That comes up for me.

Go to around 7 minutes in.

Mr Kumar starts to looks gormless and says 'strange' more than once (projecting). Lowri sits there saying normal things and being normal and he knows he's been well harropped.

IwantToRetire · 29/08/2023 00:33

I think the tweet in the op has been deleted, and maybe all other tweets.

Melroses · 29/08/2023 00:32

AtrociousCircumstance · 28/08/2023 23:37

Ugh I can’t get twitter to load - can anyone summarise please?

I can't either. I think it's broken again 🙄

Thelnebriati · 29/08/2023 00:26

Kumar says comedians should be able to joke about anything, anything is fair game but its strange to make jokes like Bernard Manning used to. And anyone has the right to be offended and also the press have a bizarre fixation cause by brain worms or a pathological obsession about transgender issues.

gandeysflipflop · 29/08/2023 00:21

None of the links seem to work for me the twitter or the YouTubes can someone please summarise?

Datun · 29/08/2023 00:18

more cuntish yapping

Yep.

The full segment is on youtube, the clip from twitter finishes at about 7:27 Nish looks flumoxed at Lowri daring to challenge him and looks like hes trying to come up with a response but the presenter moves along and asks him a soft ball question about whether or not there are jokes he wouldn't tell

l

What a shame they didn’t just leave the camera running in silence at his stupid flummoxed face. He should reflect on his flummoxing. Dick.

AtrociousCircumstance · 29/08/2023 00:09

Thanks!
