7:11 pm
it took all of that time really , i think it took about, oh, gosh, about 14 years before anything was seriously done there. yeah. and so maybe there needs to be a good look at whistleblowing. i mean, because we're talking about children. well the key thing. it's well that's the key thing. it's kids, you know, adults »: it's kids, you know, adults can do what— kids, you know, adults can do what they— kids, you know, adults can do what they -with - kids, you know, adults can do. what they -with-bodies what they want with their bodies in what they want with their bodies h -soerew. — what they want with their bodies h-soerew. they- what they want with their bodies in society, they make in a liberal society, they make her— in a liberal society, they make their-choices. _ in a liberal society, they make their-choices. a- in a liberal society, they make their choices. a child, i their own choices. a child, i mean, adults— their own choices. a child, i mean, adults can- their own choices. a child, i mean, adults can do absolutely ohwrhhe— mean, adults can do absolutely anything—within. anything they want as within the low. — anything they want as within the low. whhh— anything they want as within the law. within - there - anything they want as within the law. within there which law. within the law. there which is law. within the law. there which leshorhe— law. within the law. there which leshorhe lor— law. within the law. there which islshame for you. _ law. within the law. there which islshame for you. i— law. within the law. there which is shame for you. i know. but is a shame for you. i know. but there— is a shame for you. i know. but there-go.— is a shame for you. i know. but there-go. lh— is a shame for you. i know. but there-go. i'm going- is a shame for you. i know. but there go. i'm going to move there we go. i'm going to move on there we go. i'm going to move ohhow— lrorh- on to a question now from whome— on to a question now from antonia, where— on to a question now from antonia, where is antonia? hello do the— antonia, where is antonia? hello do the new— antonia, where is antonia? hello do the new harley— antonia, where is antonia? hello do the new harley davidson- antonia, where is antonia? hello do the new harley davidson ads make you fancy a budweiser ? i'm make you fancy a budweiser? i'm not so sure about that . did- not so sure about that . did you not so sure about that. did you home— not so sure about that. did you note w-wee— not so sure about that. did you notice we've got— not so sure about that. did you notice we've got bud light out in notice we've got bud light out he the— notice we've got bud light out h the h— notice we've got bud light out h the h the— notice we've got bud light out in the in the lobby there? i thh— in the in the lobby there? i think that's— in the in the lobby there? i think that's just— in the in the lobby there? i think that's just a joke by the producer.— think that's just a joke by the producer. lo— think that's just a joke by the producer, to be— think that's just a joke by the producer, to be honest, because, of producer, to be honest, because, ol-hwo— producer, to be honest, because, ol-hwo llehl— of course, bud light was eohplelelw— of course, bud light was completely tanked result of completely tanked as a result of the completely tanked as a result of lheleorhhorgh— completely tanked as a result of the-campaign with- completely tanked as a result of the campaign with dylan the ad campaign with dylan wwwohew— the ad campaign with dylan. wwlwohew—owt mulvaney, because it turns out that— mulvaney, because it turns out that the— mulvaney, because it turns out that the hho— mulvaney, because it turns out that the kind of— mulvaney, because it turns out that the kind of people who orhh— that the kind of people who orhh-hwo— that the kind of people who drink-bud light- that the kind of people who drink bud light lads, drink beer, bud light the lads, thew— drink beer, bud light the lads, lhew ooh-l— drink beer, bud light the lads, they don't like— drink beer, bud light the lads, they don't like being lectured to they don't like being lectured lolsorheohe— they don't like being lectured to someone prancing around to by someone prancing around ohh— to by someone prancing around one thhhe— to by someone prancing around and thinking that— to by someone prancing around and thinking that makes him a woman, right? _ and thinking that makes him a woman, right? �*lthitll g woman, right? well, i thought that unfair because, i

7:14 pm
wildlife charity. he's won £90,000. now, that's one thing. and i think, you know, if he was wronged, which he was and then he won the libel trial , fair he won the libel trial, fair enough. off the back of enough. but off the back of that, he's now saying, let's clamp down on online abuse. it strikes me actually strikes me as actually a completely thing . completely separate thing. wrong. worry about that wrong. and i worry about that because think get to because i think when you get to that you're starting that point, what you're starting to is actually kerb freedom to do is actually kerb freedom of speech opposed to just of speech as opposed to just going people who defame going after people who defame you. so, okay, so where in your hho— you. so, okay, so where in your rhht ls— you. so, okay, so where in your rhht ls chrrs— so, okay, so where in your mind is chris packham overreaching- mind is chris packham overreaching ? mind is chris packham. overreaching ? _no, mind is chris packham- overreaching ? _no, i don't overreaching? well, no, i don't know if he is. what i'm saying is when he starts talking about harsher punishments for online abuse, could be anything harsher punishments for online abuse, that'sild be anything harsher punishments for online abuse, that's very,t anything harsher punishments for online abuse, that's very, verything because that's very, very subjective. online abuse subjective. i get online abuse every i don't we're every day. i don't i don't we're being successful. right. right. but we don't go the police but we don't go to the police about because recognise but we don't go to the police abotin because recognise but we don't go to the police abotin a3ecause recognise but we don't go to the police abotin a free ise recognise but we don't go to the police abotin a free societyrecognise but we don't go to the police abotin a free society people ;e that in a free society people are to free behave terribly. right. because right. in that way because they're breaching law. they're not breaching the law. libel is different because libel is defaming someone, is you're defaming someone, you're livelihood you're damaging their livelihood and financial and there are financial repercussions that . yeah, and there are financial repercussions that. yeah, he repercussions to that. yeah, he felt he was ideologically- felt he was ideologically owrswet. — felt he was ideologically owrswet. he— felt he was ideologically pursued. he that the editor

8:40 pm
it's been on the side of muddle and it's become institutionally attached to that muddle . but attached to that muddle. but kishwer falkner was kind of a new broom when she came in a few years ago and she listened to our arguments and she said that they had merit and wrote to kemi badenoch, oversees the women badenoch, who oversees the women and equalities portfolio and government said should government, and said we should look this, that was her look at this, that was her crime. that was when they started trying to after her. started trying to get after her. so in all these so they put in all these complaints. and from we've complaints. and from what we've seen , these seen in the paper, these complaints like that. seen in the paper, these com rolled. like that. seen in the paper, these com rolled her like that. seen in the paper, these com rolled her eyes like that. seen in the paper, these com rolled her eyes that :e that. seen in the paper, these com rolled her eyes that she at. seen in the paper, these com rolled her eyes that she was she rolled her eyes that she was a bit brusque in a meeting. she's a really lovely person who has been in many, many senior jobs ever jobs and nobody has ever complained about bullying or anything it really anything like that. so it really sounds up to me. and they sounds cooked up to me. and they were to suspend were trying to get her suspend dunng were trying to get her suspend during investigation, which during this investigation, which would meant that she would would have meant that she would be off case be taken off the case of considering law considering whether this law would be fixed so that it was clear, not muddled. so they failed in that. i think that failed in that. and i think that it's been a big it's actually been a big disaster for them. think it's disaster for them. i think it's blown up in their faces because it's shown what bullies they are. so helen, it seems that some allegations well some of the allegations as well have very spurious. have been very, very spurious. i there was one suggestion

i mean, there was one suggestion inoi— i mean, there was one suggestion inoi snoo— i mean, there was one suggestion inoi onoo-o— i mean, there was one suggestion that she'd-a trans- that she'd insulted a trans individual— that she'd insulted a trans individual describing them individual by describing them as a individual by describing them as o-wiin— individual by describing them as a-with lipstick— individual by describing them as a-with lipstick ,- individual by describing them as a with lipstick , but a bloke with lipstick, but ooiuoiiy— a bloke with lipstick, but actually actually actually she was actually guoiing— actually she was actually quoting someone online who had soio— quoting someone online who had soio, gino— quoting someone online who had soio, giwo on— quoting someone online who had said, give an example of the ini— said, give an example of the kind oi— said, give an example of the kind of abuse— said, give an example of the kind of abuse that trans people . nui— kind of abuse that trans people receive . but then— kind of abuse that trans people receive . but then that was receive. but then that was nononoo— receive. but then that was reported uncritically on channel 4. reported uncritically on channel on. is— reported uncritically on channel on. is inoi— reported uncritically on channel 4. is that correct— reported uncritically on channel 4. is that correct ? i40pi“ 4. is that correct? yeah. so, i mean, all of this should should not have been leaked. she you know, this was leaked by people within the hrc to channel 4 and basically has made the investigation impossible. so a case was called in and kishwer falkner wasn't given any support in getting her own legal represented . she's been paying represented. she's been paying for her own legal representative. and of this representative. and all of this the stuff was leaked. it does sound spurious from what's come out, should have out, but nothing should have come out. this should all have stayed behind closed doors. and now whole now they've suspended the whole investigation action. but honestly, best honestly, if this is the best that they can give when they're cooking up allegations against a woman, this does not sound good. i of people did i mean, loads of people did leave the hrc because of kishwer saying that, you know, trans doesn't trump all other
8:42 pm
