There were some choice turns of phrase in the debate. Compare and contrast with the terror in the HoC of saying pretty much anything which might upset the most marginalised and vulnerable™.
Lord Blencathra said :
We have had the most despicable conversion therapy foisted on our children and sanctioned by the NHS. I am referring to the gross abuses inflicted on children by the Tavistock clinic and GIDS....perhaps they were captured by the ideologues of the transgender cult, led by the discredited organisation Mermaids
Even Baroness Hunt, a woman I believe has done a lot of harm to women and to LGB people, said:
My priest in 1993 was not affirming. He did not take me to a LGBT youth group, and he did not buy me a flag. He listened to me with curiosity, kindness, gentleness and love...He told me that all would be well. He implored me to do one thing: to do the very best I could in my GCSEs. It was what I needed to hear.
The HoL is one of the few public institutions not kowtowing to ideology. And if it's good enough for the HoL, is it good enough for MN?
