‘It’s [about] human decency,’ said former Dr Who actor David Tennant, as he accepted his British LGBT Celebrity Ally Award at last Friday’s glitzy London gala. Then, to cheers from the audience, he promptly revealed his own personal decency has its limits. ‘However, until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn’t exist anymore…’ Tennant paused, initially to milk the applause, then finally in recognition of the fact he’d gone too far. ‘I don’t wish ill of her, I just wish her to shut up,’ he added, to more applause. This trendy abuse of a senior black, female cabinet minster was actually relatively restrained compared to HBO talk-show host John Oliver’s rant against the Tory party in Monday’s episode of Last Week Tonight.
‘Britain has its chance to wash itself clean of 14 miserable years of Conservative rule,’ the British-born, New York-based multi-millionaire roared, before declaring ‘F*** off into the sun, you c***s, f***-pigs and weirdoes, tossers, w*****s, d**k-splashes and c**k-wombles. If Britain stands together, this July 4, it will finally celebrate its Independence Day!!!’ His monologue – deranged rant would be a fairer description – was immediately seized on and disseminated far and wide by Labour’s social-media Starmtroopers.
