Why on earth is Ms Hunt a Baroness ?

@TinselAngel

If she wants any compassion from me she shouldn't have used her maiden speech to lie about the spousal exit clause and and trans widows.

And not just trans widows. She is quite happy to throw LGB people under the bus in her quest for getting gender identity into law, but I think they are targeting the spousal exit clause precisely because it gives consideration to the rights of trans widows who have been neatly silenced just about everywhere else. I don't understand why some GC feminists are siding with the TRAs on this issue. It doesn't make any sense.

I very much enjoyed the ratio on compassion in politics tweet about this 😆

Very astute Pelican

What she actually means is it is 'compassionate' in her view to sometimes not tell the truth or to actively hide and disguise the truth.

It isn't compassionate to those being required to be selective about truth and reality for someone else's sake, and there are many, many moral issues to this. And consequences.

Playing this selective truth/only our truth exists/we'll deny everything not part of the story and be reproachful about your meanness if you keep bringing it up is going to bite Boris on the bum over Cummings and his castle eye sight issue for decades. It will forever be the moment he totally blew public trust and willingness to care about anything he said. And unfortunately that matters, no matter how much he focuses on his positive alternate position that it doesn't.
