And don't forget, folks, that these idiots are the ones our politicians have talked to and mingled with and agreed with, while turning their backs on the rational, reality-based women. We deserve better politicians.
Last week Eluned Morgan, the First Minister of Wales and a woman widely known to be GC, was asked in the Senedd by a Conservative Party member to define a woman. Instead of just saying 'Adult human female' she did the old oh-no-not-you-trouble-making-Tories-and-your-culture-wars! number.
She was one politician I'd hoped would stand up and tell the truth, but out of deference to that old idiot Mark Drakeford and his sidekick Jane Hutt, who both drank the Kool-Aid factory dry, she's backed away from bringing honesty and reality to Welsh Labour. Next year there's a general election and Labour know they're going to end up losing loads of seats to Reform because they daren't say the truth because it would reflect badly on the previous leader.
It's a classic example of small-nation syndrome, where personal and national loyalty to someone who's done something profoundly damaging (Drakeford) means that no one dares to put it right. Small nations (Scotland, Wales, New Zealand are the ones I'm thinking of) where familial, cultural and institutional connections abound because of parochialism mean that no one speaks out because they all know someone who's related to the person they ought to be criticising, or they'll be looking for a job in the relatively small academic or voluntary sectors if they lose their seat and they don't want to reduce their chances of future employment. It's the difference between having to bite your tongue because you live in a village and there's only one pub to go to, and living in a city where there's always another pub to hang out in. All the SPADs and grifters who persuaded clueless politicians into supporting GI have slunk off to other fields leaving our representatives covered in egg. (Sorry, rant over.)
