Exactly, they push and push and push in bad faith then turn around and do this performative shock and outrage when shes finally snapped by the sounds of it. Now they're doing the classic drip feed of stories from every anti-transport dinosaur to heap even more pressure on. Guarantee the Taxpayers Union will be helping to coordinate this, again

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

The thing that annoys me is I doubt this story would be much of anything if Julie was a man. But because she is a woman she is 'hysterical' and 'unhinged'. I have no problem with politicians being passionate about their causes, but obviously she needs to rein it in and stick to acceptable decorum.

You're completely wrong there, I think. If this was a man acting that way towards a woman, the backlash would be far worse.

Lets clarify what we're talking about.

The incident in parliament, I agree with you. The incident at the florists, a man against another man, I don't think it would even be news.
