I think Kemi is just fighting fire with fire at this point.

That sounds like someone using a platform to make death threats. Should probably tell the police

[@LH-kr4od]

She's not "playing the race card" she's pointing out the facts in plain English. Tennant has 100% bought in to the myth of the trans child. I expect puberty blockers will shortly be needed to stop him looking like the boy he really is, and Tennant is very angry that Kemi has made it illegal. Maybe don't lie to your son, David.

When the other side try to silence you or start name calling, they've lost the argument, it's what children do. In what other profession (apart from elected mps) do people think that they have the right to tell the public what to say, do and think? In any other situation you'd see it for the narcissistic nonsense that it is.

Tenet along with Coogan is pretty much a has-been at this point & instead of trying to salvage what's left of his career which isn't very much He's sending death threats to people he disagrees with He frankly deserves to be washed up

If you look at these TV & Film stars. They arent extreme because theyre out of touch. They're extreme because all part of Unions which support groupthink 98% of thier members vote for Labour (Or if they live in Weybridge Lib-Dem which a lot of them do) If you go back to referendum, there were hundreds & hundreds of "Union" members supporting remain The only Film voices for Leave were Micheal Caine, Edward Fox, Rowan Atkinson, David Jason, John Cleese, Ricky Tomilinson, Sean Connery & Joan Collins All of which were much older & had made thier money & could afford to speak out But if you're a young Union member & you support Reform or Tory then its a minefield dealing with these people I voted Leave & after going through 7 years of emotional upset, I'm considering leaving & starting a career in hospitality Much more productive & a friendlier environment

When she refers to optics I think she's just pointing out the hypocrisy of Tenant by his own ideological standards, as opposed to playing the race card herself.

[@stu2257]

Where's the hypocrisy? He didn't tell her to shut up because of her race or gender. He told her to shut up because of her views. Does she think she's immune to criticism because she happens to be Black and a woman?

[@Clodhopping]

Tennant spends his career wearing costumes and reciting other peoples' words as he plays let's pretend. Nothing he says has any value.

[@user-tl3hu2lh6u]

He means her existence of constant prejudice views that Badenoch and Braverman continue to spout. All of a sudden Badenoch cares about her own race! She and the tories are a disgrace to everyone! This station is, too!👏🏼👏🏻👏🏽👏

[@eddiegilbey3846]

Kemi should have kept the skin colour out of her response. I’m one of her constituents. I don’t vote for people based on their race. Uttlesford is not Tottenham or Hackney. It’s Tennant who needs to shut up.

Using the race card would have worked more effectively if she had put more emphasis on the fact that a left winger telling a black woman to shut up was blatantly hypocritical since if it was a right winger doing it the left would be up in arms.

[@dcoughla681]

David Tennant is such an arrogant narcissist. We live in a free country with free speech not a totalitarian state. I wonder how he would feel if prominent people told him to shut up or wishes he didn’t exist. It’s hilarious that he thinks that he’s such a decent, lovely guy when he says things like this so he’s anything but. Not everyone agrees with you, Mr Tennant.

Kemi didn't need to resort to the race card, we know that, but this message was intended for the ideologues, so it has to be framed in terms they understand. Only that way can they be made to see what they are doing is exactly what they accuse others of.

[@royalblue5758]

Love not hate David but only to those that share your ideology obviously. Calling for people with whom you disagree not to exist is clearly justifiable in your thinking to the point that you can state it in a televised public forum. Good to see you bringing your authentic self to the awards ceremony and pointing out the real end goal of cancel culture. Whatever Kemi may have said in response to this verbal attack it did not hatefully call for David Tennant not to exist.

I don't agree with Kemi Badenock launching a racist attack on someone that disagrees with her. DT did not attack her characteristics he made a flippant comment and did say something nobody has the right to say. I believe nobody in the adult world should be told to shut up. We should be able to say what we wish and our comments stand or fall on their merits. David is a much loved actor and should not spoil that great reputation by doing playground arguments with the intellectually challenged. However, the response from Kemi Badenoch is an outrage. This ludicrous individual has no place in politics. She seems to have included racist, sexist and homophobic attacks in her fallacious, ad hominum attack on DT. We do not wish to have this kind of mindless ideologue anywhere near the reins of power. I am not saying she should shut up, just that she should only speak if she has something worthwhile to say. I have never found that to be the case.
