I'm in no way saying people shouldn't be angry with her and call her out on remarks like this.

Luckily I didn't see anyone here calling her either of those.

More false equivalency and just a plain ludicrous attack tbh by suggesting gay people would be racist towards bigots.

A hag is a witch, is she not a witch?

What does hag mean in slang?
What does hag mean? Historically, a hag is an old, ugly woman with evil powers. Much like witches, crones, and banshees, hag has become a sexist insult degrading women.

Well I rarely refer to her sex.
I call her Widdecombe or an individual.

She warrants the venom she gets for the venom she spouts out.

However, I'll ensure I don't refer to the sex of the individual Widdecombe again.

However Widdecombe can get veiled defence for saying 2 females shouldn't be allowed to dance together on a TV show, and that in a general sense Widdecombe says, families don't want to see that either.

For goodness sake.

Certainly wasn't my intention to defend her, out-rightly or veiled. I am most definitely condemning her comments and disagree with them wholeheartedly

At no point did it come across as you defending her comments Niamh, rest assured

Seems a bit overly sensitive but for you, I'd take it back, she's not a hag, she's just an all round rotten dickhead.
