All the news on his speech seems to be about HS2 but I think that this is important too.

    It’s really not necessary to bend over backwards to defend him. If he was talking about chromosomes he’d have had no reason to say anything because it would just been a pointless non sequitur with no political relevance. He obviously meant it as an attack against trans people’s existence.

      I never defended him and I don´t get why you project such nonsense on me after I clearly wrote:

      He is a despicable right-conservative populist who obviously says this for all the wrong reasons but that does not change the fact that the statement by itself is a correct one.

      Are you unable to separate between the person and the statement?
