India Willoughby, Question Time Thu 2 Feb 2240

[Consufed]

India Willoughby is going to be on Question Time tonight. BBC1 10.40pm.

Yes purely to see Ella talking and drowning out IW trying to butt in.

No-one on the panel, not even Willoughby, insisted that the rapist must be a woman, because they said so.

I think that is a significant shift.

Oh was watching apprentice

I can't get live TV at the moment. Can you watch this live on iplayer ? ta

I'm taking a break from it. I cannot believe IW is getting away with spouting such racist and homophobic nonsense and it's going unchallenged because IW is trans.

I've never had to tell anyone I'm a biological woman.

It is however quite nicely illustrating that the sympathetic years of 'yes yes of course you are' has simply escalated confusion and misbelief into these utterly batshit realms. It would have been kinder to have said years ago "No. No you are not a biological woman" because it's being said now, and has to be.

It's been pointed out on Twitter that Bruce always corrects misinformation and yet did not correct IW's little pipe ups that they're a "biological woman."

I'm a bit confused. I thought QT was live and it's scheduled to be on BBC1 after the news. Is it pre-recorded that some of you have already seen it and where is it shown?

I've set it to record as DH is already in bed and I don't trust myself to not shout at the telly.

Lots of interrupting, transplaining and finger jabbing going on from IW.

I-player

Yet, when renowned Professor Robert Winston (an actual Scientist) stated that nobody changes sex, Bruce said that some randoms would disagree with that. They'd feel it in their water, I suppose.

Thanks. I thought QT was live. I must be confusing it with Newsnight.

Much too scary !

Anyway, India always likes to make any argument, that anyone else is trying to make general, personal and about India, so FB was probably avoiding that.

Placemarking, I’m shattered so off to bed but look forward (in a peeking through fingers whilst cringing fashion) to seeing what everyone thinks of India’s latest rant/public breakdown.

Ella was brilliant.

I do wish people would pull India up on some of the bullshit India spouts, and Ella did manage to say some blunt truths, as did one or two audience members.

'You can't change sex' being one.

Is that teacher a secret feminist with the purple green tartan?

I'm sorry I want to retract that 'spouts', its not a nice way to describe someone talking.

India says some things that don't seem at all connected to reality, was my point.

My word Windy looks dreadful. He seems to have one eye smaller than the other. Too much ‘work’?

Does anyone know how the audience for qt is booked? , as according to iw , it was horrible and block booked by gc people

You apply in advance and get invited to be in the audience.

Tell me honestly, is it worth watching? I'm thinking of grim satisfaction with all the glorious exposure, versus my blood pressure.

I don't know who the red headed lady is but she is giving India some proper eye rolls!

India being really conservative when the truth here.

Ooo Fiona! Go girl.
