I absolutely love that whilst being a 38yr old Consultant Forensic Psychologist, blessed in the context of western beauty standards, and likely in a comfortable economic bracket, she views herself as being oppressed in comparison to a 20yr old male of Palestinian origin in the UK who has already mentioned that he would have come on the show if they hadn’t been able to evacuate his grandmother from a warzone the week before.
Ali is a dangerous dangerous person as people listen to her assuming she’s flunking psychic.
Lily is a phenomenal actress playing a well-rehearsed role of the simpleton that the nation wishes to embrace because if we can embrace her breach of every societal expectation of an adult, then there is hope for us all.

This is a very good point actually. Considering Ali made her position known by wearing that t shirt as well you would think she'd have had a lot of interest in Khaled and his background and in spending sometime in speaking to him but instead she almost instantly took a dislike to him and told everyone he was fake. Almost as if her political stances and activism are more about being in that "group" rather than really being interested in the causes themselves
