If someone I know is raped, I don’t give a flying fig what gender they consider themselves.
Does #NickRobinson think it makes a difference?
Well done to the Scottish #Green for sticking to the point.
A rapist, male or female, is a rapist.

Fox News' Jesse Waters believes being LGBT & having pronouns in your social media bio is reason enough to be murdered by ICE.
Again, I implore you to recognise that the media environment we have allowed to be created, on the premise of 'freedom of speech' is at the core of our problems.

Didn’t Jeremy Corbyn try to steer it in a different direction, inviting the public to submit questions, and seeking genuine answers rather than theatre?

#US recruited #ICE agents in a hurry, without proper vetting, and they murdered an innocent bystander.
#UK recruited police officers in a hurry, to fix stupid #Tory cuts, and employed rapists, thugs, and domestic abusers.
Repent at leisure.

#ICE agents shit a civilian non-combatant, and denied her medical attention as she died.
Could #BBC #R4Today please explain at what point this is classed as a unilateral, asymmetric #CivilWar, and the above actions can be considered #WarCrimes?

With government agents now shooting civilians in the street, could the #BBC advise us when we can wave off our brave troops on a mission to kidnap the #US dictator, liberate a few million barrels of #oil, restore #democracy and install a puppet leader against the wishes of the population?

“… not good enough”
Well, thank goodness we had Ben Stokes to offer that penetrating insight into England’s shambolic humiliation in the Ashes.
Like the TV licence, can we stop paying the Cricket Levy if we are disgusted by what is done in our name by overpaid wasters?

Imagine claiming to run a country, then dithering about what it will give you.
“I might give myself 30 million barrels, I might give myself 50 million. The difference is only 66%”
Imagine getting caught driving at 50 in a 30 zone and telling the police they’re pretty much the same thing?

My romantic feelings are not the issue here.
I don’t see Proud Boys, Oath Keepers or the Klan getting behind a man in makeup, married to an Indian, as they do Trump.
Although the junkie mother must make them feel right at home.

I vaguely remember Reagan telling Israel to back off too.
Annoyed by the killing of a politician, not the slaughter of thousands in Sabra and Shatila.

I’m no expert on this stuff, but if anyone wanted to annex Canada and make it a vassal state of a nation with a common land border, megalomaniac leader, and a proven imperialist mindset, are there any large nearby islands that might provide a handy place for troop concentrations?

Sounds fair. She would give the same grilling to any party leader with very few MPs and a history of bribery by hostile powers, racism, assault, intimate partner violence, mystery home ownership, living abroad, VAT fraud, unpaid rent, non-attendance in Parliament (or their constituency).
Oh, wait …
