Wes Streeting, the gay former-health secretary of the United Kingdom who extended the country’s indefinite ban on gender-affirming care for youth, was appointed to a new role as Defense Secretary last month.

But he joined the face-eating leopards, they were supposed to eat other people's faces! Obviously made the mistake of assuming he was one of the 'good ones'.

First they came for the transsexuals,

and I did not speak out because I was actually one of the Fascists cunts in Parliament voting for laws to send the jackboots after the transsexuals...
