Ed Davy on R4 Today - there should not be safe places for women

[42SrauvP]

Quite jarring to hear him say it out loud but yes, this white man has stated love on the radio that there should be no spaces where biological males can’t go.
Just before 8am.

Ah the Belcher effect in the Lib Dem’s. It just keeps on giving for them doesn’t it?

Belcher supported Davey's bid for leadership and he in turn expressed hopes that his friend, Belcher, will be an MP in 2024.

Ed Davey on LBC was unequivocal having listened to women's concerns about female single sex spaces being mixed sex and who feel threatened,

"I don't agree with them"

He also thinks women just "don't understand the facts and experience [of transwomen]"

Hes a blithering idiot

I voted for them a few times, then they said they didnt want people like me to vote for them so that made life easier at the polling booth

Amazing that the BBC actually didn't censor this out. They have sink so low I elect nothing from them. What does Davey think there is to negotiate anyway? Men are either in or out of girls private spaces. There's no halfway option.

Ed Davy can speak shite until forever, the Lib Dems said goodbye to all hope and credibility with the loss of Charles Kennedy.

I'd love it if we could stop accusing idiots of being white, as if it's one more reason they're an arsehole. It's a mutable skin colour, not a character trait.

He did a MN Q and A a couple of years ago and made his views very clear. He cares nothing for women's sex based rights, so today's interview just confirms that.

Or do I mean immutable. Which is which? 😂

If it's not Tim Farron saying gays are going to burn in hell, it's this.

You'd think there was a (safe) space somewhere between for the LDs, but seems not.

Hold your breath and dream of Daisy Cooper.

Is he the leader?

....He IS the leader.

Worryingly Morris he is!

Having just listened to the LBC interview with Davey, it's clear that he believes that his views are simply superior to those of women. He even had to listen 'with patience'. Condescending, arrogant male pr**K....!!!!!

Davey mentioned something about a need for national discussion ... but couldn’t bring himself to say the word ‘women’. Agree that the item on violence against women at around 8.15 is really disturbing contrast.

....To be fair, after Swinson (cough) it was either him or Moran, condescending arrongant female etc...

I’m thinking about my you young daughter and how a senior politician believes she should never be able to go anywhere that a biological male can’t follow.

Who is the senior politician, the thread only mentions Ed Davy?

Amazing that the BBC actually didn't censor this out.

The today program has been vociforous in pursuing this issue. It's not that 'the BBC' censor anything, it's that some sections see it as an important story and some want to push the 'be knid, nothing to see' line.

If you comapre the output of Justin Webb to Ben Hunte it's like one works for the old BBC and one works for Pink News.

The only positive is that I do feel Justin Webb is an ally on this topic.

Also, he tends to piggyback trans rights with racial issues. Rarely mentions trans rights alone. It's psychological manipulation. Who, after all, could deny the discrimination many minority race groups experience?

That is awful to hear

Oh, right. We know what the Lib Dems stand for now. I was never quite sure before.

If it's not Tim Farron saying gays are going to burn in hell, it's this.

Tim Farron didn't say that. He's supported gay rights for decades. The woke lot that ousted him for being Christian are the same ones who put Swinson in and backed Moran.

I doubt Ed Davy really believes any of this crap but he wants to be leader and wants to unite the party so he has no choice but to toe their line. In many ways that's worse than if he were just an imbicile.

Swinson that was it….of course

Do you need something for that cough 😀

I’ll have forgotten her name again in a minute…

Does he think biological women should be allowed to be members of Gentleman's Clubs and inherit titles in front of their brothers?
I have a feeling the answer would be no...

"So there should not be spaces where biological males cannot go?"

"No, precisely"

At least he has made his position clear.

Jfc. He's the leader? How utterly dispiriting. If Charles Kennedy was still around and took this heart sinking route I'd pack a sad little suitcase and go to live on an island.

He might not care about that either, probably doesn't affect him either way.

2020 Interview for LBC

Iain Dale "What do you think of J.K. Rowling's position on transwomen?"

Ed Davey "I don't agree with it."

ID "Why?"

ED "Because I think transwomen are women and transmen are men."

ID "Do you think that transwomen who haven't undergone surgery should be allowed in women's toilets for example?"

ED "yes"

ID "Pre-op transwomen in women's prison?"

ED "yeh, because I think some of the arguments that are put against this just don't understand the facts and experience. You know, transpeople are some of the most discriminated against in our society. They suffer violence. They suffer harassment."
