There is some estrangement between Kate Osborne and the truth:

She's making herself look an absolute idiot isn't she?

nauticant · 13/12/2023 22:51

There's plenty more where that came from:

Thick as a plank.

nauticant · 13/12/2023 22:43

Kate Osborne said that Kemi Badenoch referring to an epidemic of young people identifying as trans means she was likening the phenomenon to a disease because epidemic = disease.

OK Kate:

At 16.59.00 in the recording and following - did I misunderstand what was said?

Kemi Badenoch reacts strongly to Kate Osborne claiming that Badenoch had used the word 'disease' to describe transgender people.

After the meeting Kate Osbourne takes to xTwitter to post half of the dictionary definition of the word 'epidemic' as if this was the word that Badenoch was objecting to.

It does seem ill-judged, especially as the actual exchange is part of the public record.

I suspect kemi and I would disagree on a fair amount, but she is a rare thing amongst our current politicians, she knows her brief and is brave enough to do her own research.

I am of the same mind.

@Soontobe60 I've just been watching it now. I think it says 'live' but if you click play again it plays.

I didn't know Caroline Noakes voted against gay marriage.

I wonder if that’s part of why she’s so TWAW. She was wrong before so now wants to be on the ‘right’ side of history’. Or she’s just homophobic.

Soontobe60 · 13/12/2023 22:02

The link is for live viewing. Is there another way of viewing it?

Tallisker · 13/12/2023 22:01

Nice to see a feminist scarf in the row behind her

I did a tiny air punch at seeing that 😁

oviedo · 13/12/2023 21:57

Kate Osborne is infantile. Kemi was brilliant.

bellinisurge · 13/12/2023 21:12

@PronounssheRa definitely. It's nice seeing someone who is not mediocre and third rate even if I disagree with her on most things. Apart from women's rights. She's absolutely on it and not taking any nonsense.

100%

Not watching but she sounds great on this again

Je suis Kemi.

crumpet · 13/12/2023 20:31

Kemi taking no shit and insisting on facts is a joy.

DarkDayforMN · 13/12/2023 19:32

Oh lord. 😳 How did Kemi respond to that? I have such great admiration for people who can be classy and poised in the face of this abject stupidity.

I know I would have been completely unable to control my face and god forbid I’d have to actually answer! I’d probably have said “people with 3 digit IQs.”

Show quote history

There was no direct response. It did kick off though with KB accusing KO of putting words into her mouth. V enjoyable interaction.

ScribblingPixie · 13/12/2023 19:45

Kate Osborne's made a terrible fool of herself from the clips I've seen.

Tallisker · 13/12/2023 19:42

Well, Professor Sir Robert Winston, for one.

KB says schools are teaching nonsense such as "there's no such thing as biological sex" and KO says "who says it's nonsense?"

AutumnCrow · 13/12/2023 18:51

Thanks for the link, OP.

I've said it before, I don't like KB's economic politics. But she is a shining intellect amidst Nokes and her strange gang.

Signalbox · 13/12/2023 18:47

KB saying that clinicians are saying they do not want to work in gender clinics.
