What a complete waste of a platform and a moment to celebrate science and logic and women's rights.
The dude let everyone down if I am honest.

Well I can sympathise with someone wanting to distance themselves from the madding crowd and outright not engage with or entertain the lunacy. It's partly why I don't venture into the politics subforum much.

And historically, society only really changes substantially when it wants to and, critically, when a movement has the backing of elite figures who can put up the money. It's regrettably not simply a case of one or two people getting on the tv and making a few logical points here and there, as would have been the case with Daley. So I sympathise with him not wanting to make a spectacle of himself over an issue that, as you say, the tide is already turning on anyway.
On the other hand, having said all that in his defence, yes, maybe still not the best person to have put themselves up for the BB house lol.
