Personally think part of the reason she grinds many people's gears is because she's not being the 'right sort' of black woman, and because she espouses views that apparently mean she isn't "really black" - because black people are all supposed to naturally align with the left or with Labour. She knows about Critical Race Theory but she doesn't buy it. That is not permissible, apparently

Edited

I think this is true.

However...

I also think that implying that Tennant, or guys like him, shouldn't disagree with her because she's black is hugely problematic, unless there is specific evidence.

He may be a twat, but he is allowed to agree with a member of the government on policy, and in a robust way, whatever her sex or race. He shouldn't need to pussyfoot around it with her any more than with someone like Nigel Farage.

I am all for calling out their CRT hypocrisy when appropriate, but I don't believe in ID politics so I am not going to use them as a tool to criticize others'actions.

His child is 9?? That is awful.

DT can confidently stand up and say things like this because he moves in circles only with other people who think the same. He is so supremely confident he is the 'Good Person' because he has no engagment with people who think differently and is easily able to dismiss them as <insert degrogatory insult which suggest people are bad here>.

This is a the tactic of the left, you see it on here: e.g. today "I loathe Nigel Farage becuase he is a <misogynist>". Whne asked how do you know he is a misogynsist the answer was : "becuase he supports Trump and he's a <misogynist>". The irrational reasoning is both proof they are a Good Person and that they are very 'bright' (meaning I went to Uni and learned the right things which is really what they mean by very bright).
The derogatory label passess as a short hand for Bad People.

DT also thinks that anyone who doesn't agree with him (who he never meets) are <thick >and also probably <racist> (Bad People) who he would never speak to anyway.

Again you see that on here with the discussions around politics. No need to engage in discussion we already know who the Bad People are becuase they are <insult menaing Bad People>.
The circuar reasoning being a sign of the intelligence of the Good People you see.

DT is an epitomy of the left elite bloke, and he has no idea he is. He just thinks we all hear: I am a Good Person.

Also did anyone cringe that his wife 'educates' him??

Well Farage has been disparaging towards women and supports woman haters such as Trump and Tate Reform want to get rid off the Equality Act which amongst other things, protects women.

The good/bad binary can be seen very clearly on this thread. He's been accused of child abuse, racism, intent to kill, woman hating. He's got a non binary child, perhaps he feels protective over them. Most parents support their children.

He told a politician to shut up. Look at the vitriol.

So very true.

Shame on him. And good for Kemi for her response on X

OvaHere · 25/06/2024 17:16

I find it interesting he picked on Kemi. Yes he's a big Labour guy but he along with everyone else knows the Conservatives are unlikely to be in government next week.

I think Kemi is just a convenient substitute for the woman he'd really like to have a pop at, the one who's made countless headlines in the last week and shown Labour up to be a bunch of misogynistic twerps. The fellow Scot who just won't wheesht for Labour and might actually damage their majority a wee bit and presumably a former friend.

Come on Dave, do you dare go there?

Yet another man telling a woman to shut up. I mean, who'd have thunk it?

Thanks goodness for all these men and their male entitlement keeping us quiet through the millennia.

I'm a woman and I wish she'd shut up. If it helps🤣

Kemi really grinds the gears of many people to the extent that Labour is trying to encourage tactical voting in order to oust her from her relatively safe seat.
She's the woman who says what she thinks and says it convincingly - and people really don't like to hear an articulate and confident black woman airing views and positions they don't like. She's a major threat and they know it.

And after the election she will hopefully become leader of the opposition and keep on calling out the bullshit

MimiGC · 25/06/2024 17:09

That was a long pause - after he said he wished she didn't exist anymore. I expect he realised that what he had said sounded terrible, so he added the next backtracking bit about not wishing ill of her.

At that age my deepest longing was to be horse and my friend wanted to be a guinea pig. Imagine if my parents had gone along with it and told the world that I was really a horse!

How would "taking it well" look?

Tennant fancies himself as the TRA's JKR 🤔

He'd better get busy then,he's got some catching up to do.

The casting director on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire obviously saw this in him when they cast him as a weasel-y rat faced character.

And all because he has a 9yr old trans child and he wants to be able to harm him with meds presumably.
Wonder where the kid got that idea eh?
He's sick.

I do worry about the children of parents who very publicly hang their hat and credentials on having a trans child.

The implicit pressure for that child never to desist risks being immense.

Tha British Public: Wishes David Tennant would shut up

Is that sarcasm?

Yes, sorry. I should have specified he's a male feminist.

Jimmyneutronsforehead · 25/06/2024 16:38

RantyMcRanterton · 25/06/2024 13:24

Just for clarity, for the lurkers, Mr Tennant also said: "until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist anymore… I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up."

To be clear, he wishes her to shut up until she is dead.

My ex said something similar to that when he was in the peak of his abuse.

Ew, David.

woman2womanmeetswomanparrish · 25/06/2024 16:36

Good on Kemi for calling out exactly what this is - a vile & racist attack on a black woman.

David Tennant - Wishes Kemi B would ‘shut up’
CaveMum · 25/06/2024 16:34

Glad to see her come out swinging.

Would you shut up? If not why should KB

I wouldn't shut up. Neither will Kemi, so I don't think you have much to worry about there. 😉

ArabellaScott · 25/06/2024 16:30

Beenthereagainandagain · 25/06/2024 14:55

does anyone else think there could be quite a sinister underlying message read into this by some… DT says people need to “wake up and” (do something so that) “kemi badenoch doesn’t exist anymore”
he’s linking the necessity of “waking up” which enables KB’s demise in a disturbing way.

on another note, has he really got a 9 yo child that is trans/itioning? That’s so young and so sad. Can the kid not just go and play outside on roller skates for a couple of years like we did back in the day? Sounds like a lot more fun than trying to make yourself literally into a round peg which will never fit into the square hole of your biological reality.

Arguably there is a sinister undercurrent, yes.

Luckily genderism isn't full of people with fragile egos and a chip on their shoulder. And politics is a lovely safe place for women, especially black women.

Hepwo · 25/06/2024 16:25

Good to see Kemi throw the leftist intersectional bollock back at him. These people can't even follow their own rules.
