David Tennant - Kemi Badenoch

[Derek Smith]

A thread commenting on whether a man who is famous should be allowed to comment or, perhaps, just shut up.

Seems a bit like irony.

Except Tennant didn’t call for all women to shut up, he called for one specific one to. Purely because of what that one specific women had previously said.

Yep, and the snowflake is trying to claim victimhood because she was called out on her bks.

The Tories are off the fking planet if they're trying to paint David Tennant as being sexist.

[James6112]

He’s an idiot, he should play the long game.

MPs such as Badenoch/Johnson/Braverman/Truss should be celebrated.
They have caused the destruction of the Tory party!

So now we want a list of people who can and can't comment on politics? Lol

Seems Tennant is bang on the money here.

Or that people don't want to be lectured to by rich and immensely privileged celebrities.

Well considering where he said it I reckon they might disagree with you, and how was he ‘lecturing’ anyone?

Hmmn. I think it's somewhere between the two when she's one particular woman who he only knows about because she's an elected representative.

Eh?

He's telling someone to shut up, who has been nominated by a constituency to speak up.

I voted for her to represent me and she's just looked after her own interests and agendas ever since - I despise the woman.

She's entirely disinterested in her constituents even now

[williamp]

As far as I can tell, all she did was not jump onbarod the Trans bus. Not one of their "allies". May even have been protetcive of Womens spaces.

So I guess a public, specific atatck is deserved then...???

Cant take public criticism then dont take public money.
That goes for everyone at the top.

What if most competent people can't take public criticism so they head straight for the private sector and live peaceful quiet lives with tons of cash.

Meanwhile only the dregs go into public service? Isn't that pretty much where we are?

We need to treat politicians with respect and pay them plenty. Then good people will want to be politicians.

Agree, however they need to earn it too. Those who spit bile deserve all the disrespect they get. Kemi is such a person. Being a is equal opportunities as she helps prove.

People don't like having their bigotry pointed out to them.

You consider the current Tory party to be "competent"?

The question is, should 'celebrities' get involved in Politics?

I think there have been many of them in the past that have, and have done good so i would say why not, but being a little more careful would be a bonus.

This is a bad post and you should be ashamed.

It must be terrible leaving the house with views like this

But snowflakes.....

No, that would involve constructing a cohesive and cogent counter-argument to the opinions she has expressed.

"You said bad things, and should shut up," isn't that.

Well it was an acceptance speech at the LGBT awards not a political debate. I'm sure if pressed DT could put up a pretty robust argument not just against her opinions but the actions and harm she has caused his family and families like his in her position in government and secretary of state for inequalities.
