Exactly, infact if you’re a liar you get the top job

They all know the game but aren't allowed to speak it out loud. The charade must go on for the plebs!

She didn’t lie though, Kemi Badenoch literally said it was ‘almost an epidemic’ in this clip which is presumably what she was referring to.

Calling bad people bad is worse than being bad. Welcome to the third millennium.

The reason for this is that you trust politicians to be truthful in their actions, because calling each other liars and normalise said sentiment can try to discredit important truths. In this clip Kemi Badenoch used epidemic which is used in links with disease, which is what the MP in the committee pointed out. Instead of asking where they said disease or language that infers this, Kemi Badenoch immediately lashes out says the other MP is a liar. As you can see, throwing out lying without justification and process aims to confuse.

Amen to that. The chair smirking away.

Especially the idiot Badenhoch.

Astonishing, no. Just par for course of the rable rousing tactics of the Conservative Party. Othering is their battle cry to incite the bigots.

This ban on calling someone a liar in Parliament is As long as that the accusation can be backed up by hard evidence, it's perfectly acceptable to call someone a liar.When the present government is called out again and again for lying, the ban is doubly ironic.

@@rogernichols1124 No, you're wrong but I love the certainty with which you pretend to know what you are talking about The speaker will always insist that an MP either withdraw the word or leave the chamber.

Kate didn't lie. So Badenoch was wrong to call her a liar. Badenoch is worse than that, though, since she is calling trans an "epidemic" which enables trans-bashers to feel more justified when they beat a trans person to near death on the street.

In this clip Badenoch uses the word "epidemic" which usually means the spread of a disease, but then Badenoch tries to make it all about whether she had used the word "disease."

@@LouiseBrooksBob What's the difference between saying 'epidemic' and 'disease'?

And the chair ultimately picking on Kimi, completely irrelevant to the matter that she raised. Deflecting and, arguably, corrupt.

An epidemic is the spread of a disease. Which is what she said. So she did liken it to the spread of a disease. Noone said she used the word disease. Only bullshitting kemi badenoch is too thick to understand that.

In the end Badenoch was the one who was lying. She did state "We are seeing I would say almost an epidemic of young gay children being told that they are trans and being put on a medical pathway for irreversible decisions and regretting what they have done." This supports what Osborne was stated: “inflammatory language that likens children and young people coming out as trans to a disease." Its not shown in this clip, since it wasn't made at this committee hearing, Kate Osborne, the mp questioning Babenoch was making reference to such a statement.

If I play devil's advocate, using the word "liar" was unparliamentary, despite it being an accurate description. We ought to maintain standards.

@kayzlazerbeam007 Ah, so she never used the word "disease" then, and the MP was making it up. thanks for clarifying.

Kemi used the word epidemic to describe trans children in Parliament 06/12/23. Epidemic means widespread disease!

​@@charlottemacgregor5061 The lady did not technically lie. The definition of "epidemic" is the spread of a disease What she is doing is more subtle than lying. Because even though it wasn't a lie it was a twist that *purposefully* leaves the audience with a mistruth. Her re-wording was purposeful - to leave us thinking that Kemi thinks of these *children and young people AS a disease.* It leaves you thinking Kemi has dehumanised them when she hasn't. This is purposeful manipulation and defamation that she knows she can't be held accountable for. Kemi actually said *"almost an epidemic"* to refer to a massive 1600% increase in gender referrals (around 5000% in the young female demographic!!!) Even if you ultimately disagree with Kemi, it is more than understandable for someone to make a connection to something that is spreading. People do also use the word "epidemic" in a more flexible way to describe social contagion and trends. Last point. Countless thousands of trans identifying people agree there is a social contagion element. Detransers describe it in detail. And everyone else sensible can see it too.

No she wasnt. You seem woefully unaware of the language used by this government to demonise groups with has seen an increase in hate crimes against those groups

Yip I noticed that

Because Kemi is a hypocrite. She frequently uses hyperbolic language

@@connor5669 how is she a hypocrite?

Who was lying and how?

Firstly the two are not equivalent. One was a personal character assassination. Kemi was using the word “explosion” to describe STATISTICS not a person. The alphabet people alway engage in these personal attack. They are low level tactics And to answer your question. The referrals for young girls to the Tavistock went up by 5337% in 10 years. Yes I’d class this as and explosion. Also as the number of people going down that path has gone up by 5337% it is normal for have hate crime go up by 5337% (which I doubt it has) FULL context matters but these activists never tell the full truth

@@memyselfandi2506 she used the word epidemic. Which is likening the issue to a disease. Noone accused her of using the word disease. So who's lying? Only kemi .

A false accusation was made and yet when the person accused calls the accuser a liar for doing that it's somehow "unparliamentary". I smell bias.

I'm not talking about the about the content, I couldn't careless if I tried, what I'm talking about is how the use of language is controlled by these filthy gentrified rancid shitehawk fakiods.

@@RedRemRobcome on then shows where the minister used the word disease.

@@poprey300 She referenced an epidemic, an epidemic refers to the spread of disease, the questioner said that Kemi ‘likened it to the spread of disease’. Disease is implied by epidemic. In whatever context the term is used, it likens the described phenomena to the primary definition of epidemic: the spread of disease.

Where did Kemi mention 'disease' then? @@RedRemRob

She called trans people an epidemic then said it was a lie to say she compared people to a disease, whilst claiming that trans hate was justified because of trans people using female spaces

They have to act honourably and they have to treat other members as honourable members. Calling someone a liar is calling their honour into question. If everyone's honour is questioned then parliamentary debate devolves into petty fights and squabbles. They couldn't get anything done.
