David Tennant - Wishes Kemi B would ‘shut up’

Pathetic, entitled, arrogant man - amongst so many others.

15 years ago, his kid would've just been some beautiful misfit, running around with all the other misfits, maybe eventually starting a band, going to gigs, getting a piercing or tattoo.

These days, all these kinds of kids join the alphabet tribe and some of their parents, instead of raising an eyebrow and letting it run it's course get all virtuous and 'educated' and sanctimonious.

And start to tell everyone to 'shut up'.

Like we couldn't possibly understand what's going on.

No, we know only too well and we have something to say about it too.

😂

Exactly, he wants a black woman dead.

I'm further left than most of the labour party.

But I'm over the tribalism. It is far too close to the bigotry we're trying to get rid of.

I don't agree with most of Kemi's politics (except women's rights) but I strongly support her right to speak, to not shut up, and to be an MP.

I want a socialist government.

I don't want a state where dissenting thought is silenced.

Immigration is mentioned upthread. Immigration is my favourite thing about the city I live in. Do you all seriously believe that these diverse people from all over the world agree with every one of your political ideas?! Of course they don't. Do you want them to shut up too?

You cannot claim to embrace diversity whilst advocating for a totalitarian state or a curtain twitching postcard perfect village which repels difference.

In what way are her views on immigration bigoted? I'm not surprised that political progressives would disagree, but bigoted means something else imo.

What, that continuing to blame historical colonialism for problems in the present day infantilises the non-white people that live, work, vote in and run those former colonial countries and that people who do this are (probably) motivated by the soft bigotry of low expectations?

Her views on colonisation and institutionalised racism are interesting.

To be fair, Kemi Badenoch has been a thoroughly incompetent Minister with some very unpleasantly bigoted views on immigration. He's not the only one who's had more than enough of her.

Are you really saying that we should abolish freedom of speech

This thread is something else.

Earlier someone was accused of wanting to murder Jo Cox. I'd like a lot of Tories to disappear. I should probably hand myself into the police.

Anyone would think this place was full of Tory shills. Cognitive Goliath JFC

In name, but not with any effective power. I mean, what does he think she’s going to do in little over a week.

Obviously this reply is in the wrong place

🙄

I agree. I'll never be a Tory and could also never be a socialist because of the ones in my family. Also many (male dominated) unions have failed to support women in the past as there is, I believe a perception that men's jobs are more important.

Yes.

Gender non-conforming word for father - spunking parent?

I nearly choked myself I had such a spontaneous both good (humour) and bad (the mind boggles) response.

Thanks!

Gender non-conforming word for father - spunking parent?

What is all this whatabouterry

The issue is a white male with and extensive media platform telling a Black women to shut up AND disappear.

Loathsome unnecessagy and both racist and misogynistic.

Making packed lunches for this children doesn't absolve him.

At a time female polticians are facing abuse and voilence, how could anyone in their right mind think this is the standard of "debate" we need. Lets hope it doesn't come back to bite him.

And also abusing the platform of his work that gives him a link to media amplification to make a personal attack.

If he wants to masturbate his ego in public so he can say what a good daddy he is (what is the gender non conforming word for father?) he could have made a clear and well thought out speech in support for trans rights. I suspect he targetted her because we all know she has made, and would have made without a GE being called now, advances on clarifying the EA.

Can you imagine the ridicule a female star would have got for making that sort of remark at an awards ceremony.

Posting publically about your kid is a risky idea as an average person, let alone as a person with a sizeable audience.

Posting deeply personal, politically loaded stuff about your kid, as a recognised person in the public eye, seems reckless in the extreme.

Or white men, or men at all. No Nigel Farage, no Rishi Sunak? They can exist as long as they like.

There are a hell of a lot of white women who agree with her, and yet he didn't mention any of them, did he?

"Until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist anymore..." is ABSOLUTELY wishing her harm.

So? If he was their mum would he be getting this praise?!

Not trying to justify DT in any way (I think that he is a complete crown and anchor) but while KB isn't a MP at the moment, she is still a government minister.

I am not defending him over this, but I have had occasion to see DT at work, and it being half term he brought them with him, looked after them well all day, gave them a packed lunch he had brought for them, didn’t expect anyone else around to help in any way. (Wasn’t a filming day)

Yes. In that speech clip he said “ It’s a family affair. We have skin in the game.”

To say that in a big speech is definitely drawing attention towards the little boy as the focus point for the whole family’s identity.
