Thank goodness for that! At last someone has seen sense and done the right thing in getting him/her arrested and charged.

I hope he/she loses his/her job too.

Stop trying to pin everything on the Labour Party or lefties, Primrose. She was only a candidate.

Jamie (now Katie) Wallis was the first openly transgender Member of Parliament.
Wallis served as the Conservative MP for Bridgend in Wales from 2019 to 2024.

Its all about how you treat people - ie with decency, honesty and respect that matters, not your gender issue

Ah the “be kind” movement.

Then ‘they’re’ not. Annoys the hell out of me.

What an absolutely vile person

Yes, she is.

No I'm not a be kind person, FGT, I've had a pretty tough time recently with someone who is trans and stood up for myself tho the situation made it very hard..

But as you know I was also Sexually Assaulted in October by a Man who was Mr Doing Good In the World Mr Nice Guy respected et al..

My feeling remains its all about how people are with each other how people treat each other!
