The Tories, in their idiotic wisdom, have appointed the UK’s number one expert in hating David Tennant, Kemi Badenoch, as their new leader.
Has a party ever been so out of touch with the public? Why would anyone vote for somebody who based their entire campaign on making digs at one of the UK’s most beloved actors?
It’s important we say why she dislikes Tennant. It is because his pro-LGBT stance, whereas Kemi is a bigot.
She’s despicable, and I have no time for her.
I’m so angry she’s won the race. She is a bigot and is completely out of touch. That whole ‘I was middle class but became working class when I worked in McDonalds’ is such arrant nonsense and yet she clearly couldn’t see why it was. You’re not working class because you got yourself a job.
Agree 100%, its not as superficial as she hates a Doctor Who.
Also this, which should be mentioned by the PM at every opportunity when discussing the leader of the opposition or engaging with her. Definitely every time she mentions the inevitable being tough on crime mantra.
It is a sad day when bigotry wins the race. A sad day when prejudice and hate clear a path to victory. Divisiveness is poison.
As Karl Popper so wisely warned…
Why, as a species, is humanity so quick to forget the lessons of history?
Those who don’t remember the history are deemed to repeat it.
Can’t remember who said that though… The last time I heard this quote was in Babylon 5.
Yes, I agree and I do get that but… it takes such little effort to be educated. Again, intolerance thrives on ignorance. I guess that being ignorant and bigoted is just too easy for some.
To be silent against the bigots is to be complicit in their bigotry.
I think it’s worth bringing up Mr Tardis’s video about her infamous video
Very true. I have had many in my socials respond to my criticism of her being appointed Tory leader by calling David Tennant abusive names, and I’m just reminding them that he only made a public criticism of her because of her extreme views on the LGBTQ community.
Thats not how she got appointed.
I’m not even being sarcastic but were there even any better choices? It seems like the Tories have taken the (US) Republicans’ route of hate as a platform.
(As opposed, of course, to Labour, who have… never mind!)
I still rewatch Carol Vorderman’s uproarious laugh when she’s played the clip of Kemi from time to time.

(And the second comment - “Poor Kemi, don’t you think she looks tired?” - is currently making my life.)
Fair point. That said, given her vile attitudes and well documented intolerance, there weren’t any worse choices! 
Now Rowling is taking a swipe at our boy 
This needs to be a reaction emoji…
Somebody hit her with a Stupefy spell.
It is sad to see Rowling now. I like the Harry Potter series a lot and want to enjoy it, but it feels harder and harder whenever I see anything she does.
I’m glad that I never really got into the Harry Potter series. I read a few books in Chinese as a kid, and later some of the English audiobooks during high school. I also watched some of the movies, and enjoyed them a lot before things got all epic. It’d be too hard to find out the writer you loved as a kid turns out to be like… this.
It’s separating the art from the artist.
I love The Beatles, but all 4 of them have had horrible histories with women. Clapton is great on guitar, but he is also a racist SOB.
I know that and I am usually kind of good at doing that but it is something that she wrote seven books about standing up to fascism and bigotry and now it feels like she switched sides on this which makes it extra hard to do this.
