Laurence Fox. The twat.

Enabling children to set boundaries is one of the most important life skills they can have.

It's literally what parenting is about isn't it?

Not just sexually, but socially and domestically too.

 

[Joe Chi Min]

If I’d have said to my Mum something about setting boundaries for myself I’d have been ridiculed and humiliated in response

It's so weird how many people take "consent" as some kind of extreme and/or personal affront.

"My son thinks I shouldn't kiss him when he doesn't want me to!" - well, yeah...?

Tbf How old are the kids? Rhetorical no desire to participate in the zoo that is Mr Fox's life

I checked - 11 and 14. Quite old enough to be clear about they want to consent to

More a squalid subterranean den than a zoo.

Bridgen seems to be morphing into Nick Griffin.

Screenplay title: 'The Mekon and the Griffin'. Terrible.

So Reclaim have a seat?

LOL

I know what you mean, but at the same time I think with something like someone getting up close and personal even a toddler knows the difference between "want" and "don't want".

Obviously it'd be different if it was something that required some complex reasoning, or if the child's health was in danger, but as a non-parent, I feel like if your toddler doesn't want you kissing them, that's all you need and you respect that?

Announcing his decision to join Reclaim, Mr Bridgen said he had been "a prisoner" in the Conservatives.

"Now I have reclaimed my freedom," he told a press conference.

He also predicted he would not be the first MP to switch to Reclaim, saying: "This is just the beginning."

What a comedian.

What's he been smoking

 

[Lord Camomile]

(Probably just a BBC typo, but I'd like to think it's what he said)

 

[Bingoman]

Does he have a question at pmqs today?

 

[Lord Camomile]

[Fox said] "British people have a right to hear what Andrew Bridgen has to say and the Reclaim Party will make sure he is heard."

Yes, Laurence, we have the right, but I suspect the overwhelming majority of us do not have the desire.

Toddlers tend to be very clear in their preferences, in my experience.

He needs to realise that if his kids don't want to be kissed goodnight he has to respect that. If he doesn't he'll push his kids away.

As somebody else pointed out even toddlers can be quite clear on what they do and don't want. I don't think that is the point tbf. If these were say 5-6 and started spouting on about consent...I think a parent would have the right to question what was going on with their kids innocence...11 ,14. That's pubescent and IMO it would be reckless not to give schooling....

Your kids are growing up Mr Fox. It happens

I'm not quite sure why you keep pushing this point.

I am not arguing against you. Somebody asked how old his kids were and I checked - 11 and 14. They are clearly old enough to say they don't want a goodnight kiss and that should be respected.

I don't. Raised point got taken a different way (not necessarily by you) clarified

I think if there's one thing that we can all certainly agree on it's that it definitely happened in the first place.

Oh god hadn't even thought of that, though in this instance think it might
