Oh, there's no doubt the sort of reactionary, populist stuff peddled by Wootton et al influences a fair proportion of the population.

In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue. It’s not cool to not know what you’re talking about. That’s not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That’s not challenging political correctness. That’s just not knowing what you’re talking about.

If you want a good indicator for how far down the pan the uk has been flushed, check the response to the Benjamin Mendy verdict.

Do you think the verdict was wrong?

I’m saying the verdict doesn’t automatically mean that the 6 women were lying or that Mendy is the victim in all this.
