MSP to challenge BBC over controversial Question Time trans rights debate

AN SNP MSP has said he will challenge the BBC over the trans rights debate on Thursday’s Question Time after it was accused of broadcasting “vile hate speech”.

It comes after Ryan McNaughton, an activist with the Scottish Greens, wrote to parliamentarians asking them to intervene following the BBC show and raised concerns about the tone of the debate.

Guest India Willoughby (below), a trans woman, said she felt as if she were at her own “hanging” after appearing on the broadcast. She further said she felt “deeply sad” about what she termed a display of “Frankenstein mob mentality”.
