Oh just FTF off Starmer!

It’s Nicola!

Agree with you, OP.

Is it now illegal for any left leaning party to hold an event/consultation/party/quiet drink without at least one TW? FFS Labour get a grip, please 🤦‍♀️

I'm beginning to think Keir is hiding more than his financial reforms .

Genius 😂

Perhaps it was the drag queen leading the ode, looking at the wee timerous beastie who is now the PM.

Someone needs to tell KS that the phrase is not
A Dress In the Haggis.

Rabbie will be rattling in his grave. He was a womaniser, he loved women but only real ones not kid on ones.

Seems to have gone well beyond parody at this point.

There are plenty of things in Carry On that have aged badly, but putting burly 6 foot 7 Bernie Bresslaw in drag was inherently funny, especially because he didn't look remotely female, but all the heterosexual men instantly found him irresistible.

Carry On actually nailing how undiscriminating a horny man can be.

Men dressing as women in "drag" originates in a nod to the "world upside down" and the fact that women were banned from acting for a long while. "Carry on ..." (for all their many disgraces) actually nailed it quite well IMHO. It wasn't a sexual display - not was it meant to be.

Yes, the poor young man who died playing second fiddle to his alter-ego in his obituaries.

That photo made me feel the bagpipes.

I assume that's slang nauseous?

I must say that personally I find the whole drag thing creepy. I don’t see that level of parodying of any other characteristic to such a level. Certainly with an air of acceptance, or even sanctimoniousness about it. Pretending taking the piss out of women is progressive. I guess women are fair game, and the men who do it aren’t.

BBC strenuously ignoring the family's use of male pronouns and flowers saying son for the drag queen Vivienne who died recently and sticking rigidly to they/them throughout the report of his funeral.
So on this they (BBC) know best do they?

I've never particularly liked the drag queen thing, it made me uncomfortable, especially when they'd make lewd jokes about women. They were always in adult cabaret clubs so I was only really exposed to it when on holiday at cheap bars etc. some of them had really offensive names like fanny hole and stuff like that. It seems to have got worse in the last 10 years and is now no longer just late night cabaret shows or in cheap holiday bars. There's drag stories on the BBC news online once a week at least!

I like Laurence Cheyney he's very funny as well as glam. Why not?

It's the contemporary equivalent of Benny Hill.

It really is. Hackneyed, cheap and evokes the era of 'male chauvinist pigs' doing mother-in-law jokes.

It's astonishing that he can't see it. It almost makes him look quaint in his out of dateness.

Even leaving aside the issues of being offensive parody of women, sticking a token drag queen into every event to spice it up has lost the original feeling of being irreverent, edgy, or outrageous.

It's a fat bloke in purple eyeshadow wearing fake breasts. Can we really not get over thinking this is in anyway hilarious or transgressive?

It's the contemporary equivalent of Benny Hill.

Wow this shows that he really doesn't get it at all, or really doesn't care about women, or is deliberately trolling us. How can someone so apparently educated and presumably legally clued-up, not have grasped the issues with all this crap yet? He's had years to think it through.

Trans really has jumped the shark now hasn't it?
Labour are starting to look like they are from another era.
It used to be an easy way to visually virtue signal an allegiance to trans and queer causes to meet and be photographed with a drag queen but now it is politically unpopular and a won't do him any favours.

The size difference is a visual addition

A man's a man for a' that - and Burns would have known well that a man cannot become a wee cuddy.

aaahhh Pussy Nancy 😂

I mean - couldn't Starmer just have popped into a school and had a chat to them about Burns' poetry or something?

Or would that not have been in-clu-hoosive enough?

Bloody virtue-signalling idiot.

Karen Gillan comes to mind. She’ll be on mat leave at the moment. (Doctor Who, Marvel and the newer Jumanji films.)

I’m assuming that the bloke in drag was supposed to be Poosie Nancy. I’m sure they could have found someone better than a male nonentity.

There was a BBC programme a while back about the disgraceful origins of blackface. I look forward to the corresponding one on womanface and drag ....
