6:29 pm
so many problems in so many areas since it was became an act and it became law to free speech. the whole transgenderism thing is enabled that which i never heard of really until about 2015. and when i first heard of it, i thought this is a joke, isn't it? you know, people saying like monty python used to joke about people saying men can be women. women can be men, but it's just become mainstream themed. and now you can find yourselves of the yourselves in front of the courts just not saying courts just for not saying somebody's pronouns or somebody feeling as though they're offended by you saying that. there's just two sexes. but you know, where i stand on this is that there is no such thing as genden that there is no such thing as gender, which is different to sex. this is a social construct that comes out of left field. universities developing critical theory since the 50s and 60s. and then this is just a crazy idea that is not has no basis in reality . but with the equality reality. but with the equality act , what kemi badenoch reality. but with the equality act, what kemi badenoch is doing i don't think is actually going to make too much difference
6:30 pm
because there are 9 or 10 protected characteristics which you're not supposed to discriminate on the basis of. one is sex, another one is gender reassignment . now sex gender reassignment. now sex means biological sex anyway. so if she just changes sex to biological sex in the equality act, it isn't going to make much difference to what it means unless us she gets rid of gender reassignment, but she's not as a protected characteristic and she hasn't that. so her hasn't said that. so her changing that isn't going to make difference whatsoever make any difference whatsoever to the practicalities of the law . i mean, the 19 page letter from baroness falkner, the chair of the hrc is very interesting . of the hrc is very interesting. i read it all. and one of the tree— i read it all. and one of the things which— i read it all. and one of the things which would be the consequence— things which would be the consequence of this is that tere— consequence of this is that trere ert— consequence of this is that trans and trans— consequence of this is that trans and trans men would be ettewet— trans and trans men would be ettewet te— trans and trans men would be allowed to use— trans and trans men would be allowed to use women's toilets. rrete— allowed to use women's toilets. trans men would— allowed to use women's toilets. trans men would be in women's wett— trans men would be in women's wt tr— trans men would be in women's wards, in hospitals— trans men would be in women's wards, in hospitals , and trans wards, in hospitals, and trans eewtt— wards, in hospitals, and trans men could claim— wards, in hospitals, and trans men could claim discrimination as men could claim discrimination

now true. and what's now that's true. and what's actually going on the next census, i will be fascinated by how many people and what that difference is, because you have a narrative, particularly among younger people now, which is that it's kind of trans women are women. if you're a guy, you can just say that you're a woman. you can get your certificate. if people would, you know, could have their way and therefore now and therefore you are now a woman, you can it's almost like i almost it's as i almost feel like it's as ludicrous as people i ludicrous as people thinking i can this on can almost put this jacket on and now i'm a woman and you're not. and actually , i worry not. and actually, i worry because a lot of these young people that are struggling, they've got they need help and support in actually, you know, you're a guy, you're not a happy guy- you're a guy, you're not a happy guy. well, let's help you become a happy guy rather than what i feel and what i fear is that these children are are almost being encouraged to be, oh, you're a boy and you're not happy or well, guess what? if you say that you're a woman and you say that you're a woman and you and you have this you do this and you have this hormone and this, then hormone and this and this, then you'll be happy. i think one i

6:45 pm
, it's because people are leaving the tories in droves. their core voters are so disgust with them because every election they say and sound conservative, they say and sound conservative, they say and sound conservative, they say conservative things, you know what they're doing at the moment. they're promising to deal with mass immigration and so on. they're coming out with these gimmicks. the last time they they're they said, you know, they're going to make the best of brexit, but then we've had sort of the lockdown situation. they've been terrible at looking after the economy . they're woke, after the economy. they're woke, they're into net zero and climate alarmism , which has climate alarmism, which has ruined our energy supply system andifs ruined our energy supply system and it's put energy prices up through the roof. so i think a lot of their own voters are just abandoned them now. so they're losing their vote. their vote is dropping and collapsing . labour dropping and collapsing. labour is steady in its vote, but i think people are going to leave them as well because they are so woke and so politically correct that people really are looking for alternative that is not for an alternative that is not tory or labour. are you ? are you tory or labour. are you? are you looking for tory or labour. are you? are you loollnp for on— tory or labour. are you? are you looking for an alternative-

could be a princess. they could give her a title of . and i think give her a title of. and i think that would be far more appropriate because it's not for buckingham palace, it's not for appropriate because it's not for buckingiam palace, it's not for appropriate because it's not for bucking loi palace, it's not for appropriate because it's not for bucking to choose 5, it's not for appropriate because it's not for bucking to choose 5, it'ltitle for appropriate because it's not for bucking to choose 5, it'ltitle ofr the king to choose the title of his consort is actually we have a constitutional monarchy and the monarchy is there at the at the monarchy is there at the at the will and the wish of parliament. they were restored by parliament. but they're they're they have their pay from parliament, the civil list. so i think we should keep her as the queen consort. well, the palace queen consult. well, the palace has queen consort. well, the palace noe enl— queen cunsult. well, the palace has said queen— queen cunsult. well, the palace has said queen consort- ©2012; “ f well, the palace has said queen consort is conlllo-e— has said queen consort is camilla's rank,- has said queen consort is camilla's rank, while queen will be new— camilla's rank, while queen will be nenlllle. — camilla's rank, while queen will be her title. you— camilla's rank, while queen will be her title. you say- camilla's rank, while queen will be her title. /2l. be her title. you say that nobody cares. by the way, there's real strong feelings . there's real strong feelings. helen says it's abhorrent that the woman broke charles's the woman who broke charles's marriage and all the rest of it should be now called our queen. so and that view coming so and that view is coming through other viewers through with other viewers as well. the past well. so actually, the past is not forgotten a lot of you not forgotten for a lot of you or maybe you welcome camilla or maybe you do welcome camilla as and it's for as the queen. and it's time for as the queen. and it's time for a brand new start. as the queen. and it's time for a brand new start . look, that as the queen. and it's time for a brand new start. look, that is all i've got. for. time thank you much your company. you very much for your company. and thank you, gents, well and thank you, gents, as well for i am off now. i'm for yours. i am off now. i'm going to a caravan in skegness
