Not sure if it is today or next week. Do we know if this is open like the tribunals?

A mention of Mary Whitehouse too.

Obsession with genitalia. There is no way he will answer that question.

I'm not watching it live. Is the impression that he is arrogant and entitled? Or is he actually making headway with those tactics?

Sadly, average bingo cards are simply not big enough to cope

🔥👌

JN has just said anyone can identify as a lesbian.

Boom!

The former and in typical MP style, he reply's to questions with speeches avoiding the question asked.

JN - I just do not understand this obsession with people's genitalia, LGBA appears to think about nothing else from the moment they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night.

Christ on a bike. It's like the last 50 years of gay rights was all for fucking nothing.

The Judge looks like she's going to intervene...

Interesting juxtaposition of 'audience member' and 'genitalia'

JN - you are a lesbian because you declare yourself one. No one has to inspect you and confirm you are a lesbian.

You heard it here first, there is absolutely no such thing as discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, because anyone who discriminates against you on the basis of that, has no fucking way of knowing whether or not you are that.

Goodbye equality act.

What a twonk.

I think JN is demonstrating the adherence to the ideology very well. And thus demonstrating the need for the LGBA to exist.

He's coming across as a knob. I'm Sure the judge will have the measure of him. I'm obviously biased but he'd be better off just answering the questions quickly and simply without being so quarrelsome. It really isn't a good look.

JN - you are a lesbian because you declare yourself one. No one has to inspect you and confirm you are a lesbian.
All the of the lesbians in my committee agree, this will not diminish them.

All the lesbians in his committee could be heterosexual men! How the fuck does he know what they are.

This is drivel.

LGBA appears to think about nothing else from the moment they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night.

Yesterday we had a witness who could apparently see ''hidden messages'', today we have a witness who can read minds...

What a bunch of numpties.

WOMEN! WATCH YOUR TONE! You are allowed to protest, debate but only in a way that I find acceptable.

He thinks that saying that predatory men might exploit self ID is not truthful and straight out of the "section 28 playbook"

He's a full on the right side of history bloke who hates the idea of people disagreeing with his side, and believes that anyone doing so must be very bad indeed.

JN banging on about section 28 and lying about the comparison to now - how come he's allowed to fear certain things but women are not

I'll never get over it. In one breath he says he knows what a lesbian is, and in the next breath he says it's anyone who says they are.

What the fuck is it, mate? Define it.

Clause 28 is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

"Some women are not bothered ... by being naked in front of men."

Women in other countries are not that bothered being naked in front of men...

'Some women aren't bothered by being naked in a space with men. Like in some Scandinavian countries'

There's no evidence that predatory men abuse these spaces. 😲
