Just seen a clip of him at a pride event where he wishes Kemi Badenoch would shut up and disappear. Then he says we should all be kind to everyone. Except women perhaps??

He has a LGBT child. So Badenoch would not be his favourite person.

Hopefully tactical voting will sort her out.

I don't think by saying "shut up & disappear" he was implying her existence should end!!
& she is using white, male, & lefty in a rather derogatory way - men, white people & labour supporters are entitled to freedom of speech as much as anyone else.

His actual words

until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist anymore

rapturous applause and cheers from the audience

then I don't wish ill of her I just want her to shut up

He is off my Christmas card list big time. 😝

Our grandmothers and further back fought for women’s rights, which are now being eroded. It is a disgrace in my opinion.

Kemi Badenoch:
"I will not shut up. I will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls."

Another talented actor who has allowed accolades for his undisputed acting talent convince him he is an authority on other unrelated subjects.

I'm disappointed. I thought he was more broad-minded than that.
We should all be thankful that someone has the courage to stand up and state what so many of us are thinking.

He's dead to me now.

It's always good when they show you who they are.

Well said Kemi.

Callistemon213 Wed 26-Jun-24 07:29:01

Why do celebs think we are interested in their opinions?

They have the advantage of their celebrity to spout misogynistic hatred and to get away with it. Remember Jeremy Clarkson?

I don't care that his child is non-binary; I very much doubt that they are predatory and a threat to women and girls.
That is Badenoch's focus.

I'm astonished to find myself defending her 😯 but he is crossing a line there.

I wish Kemi Badenoch would disappear as an MP.

Callistemon213 Wed 26-Jun-24 07:30:28

I don't wish ill of her I just want her to shut up

Why? He won't.

^I don't wish ill of her I just want her to shut up^

Why? He won't.

I can think of multiple reasons why I wish she'd shut up, but I can't speak for David Tennant.

The fact he has an LGBT child is no excuse for him to wish someone who doesn’t share his views to just disappear but she is the one who needs sorting out
Let’s be kind to everyone as long as they agree with me

It is usually those who view themselves as 'good' who are the most scary.

Nicenanny3 Wed 26-Jun-24 07:45:24

Disgraceful, perhaps he can disappear off our TV screens.

TerriBull Wed 26-Jun-24 07:45:56

Well said Callistemon, I think I read somewhere when the great actor Anthony Hopkins was asked about his opinion on some political matter his response "don't ask me I'm an actor" and that's it. In this context DT's opinions are his own, just that and won't resonate with the majority of women and anyway who cares, he's famous for acting. Conversely Kemi Badenoch's stance on this matter is representative of many womens' attitudes and their fears.

merlotgran Wed 26-Jun-24 07:57:19

He is off my Christmas card list big time.

Mine too. He can disappear up his own Tardis!

Callistemon213 Wed 26-Jun-24 07:57:47

He seems to have an inflated sense of his own importance these days.

Exactly.

The voters have a choice regularly at the ballot box to choose whether they want to listen to politicians or not.

Seems with a lot of celebs that they think we value their political views.
Hurray for Sir Anthony Hopkins, how refreshing.
