Talks pish then says ,I never said that typical Tory

His point seems to be that men need more positive role models in cinema. That point seems far less important than a poor choice of words to some certain individuals who are now stealing that moment to create a buzz. Sad.

No but he 'didn't mean that.' He was merely suggesting the lack of positive role models for males, so he decided to show the world what he meant, by becoming 'not a positive role model.'

He did.

What? Is this the guy we all saw reading out his prepared notes saying *precisely* that? He's got a sonic screw loose.

Apologising for having an opinion? He's right tho....there are very few positive male role models for boys these days. Mind you, I'm 52 + I quite fancy being Tommy Shelby!

This sounds like something that Taliban spokesman would say😭😭

Tory MP's make outstanding role models for those wishing to be recognised as a tosspot.

Didn’t he say it on tv or was it a clone saying it

Is he still banging on about that?! We ALL heard it.... 🙄

Young men committing crime because of lack of role models on TV, Conservative MP Nick Fletcher suggests'In recent years we have seen Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Luke Skywalker, the Equalizer all replaced by women, and men are left with the Krays and Tommy Shelby,' the MP for Don Valley says. 'Is there any wonder we are seeing so many young men committing crime?' The only problem with any of this is they're replaced with badly designed characters so the studios can gender swap them, the actual gender doesn't matter. Does someone want to point to him that young men don't watch doctor who, or TV anymore? The Krays loved their mother
