Isn't that a disco tune? I'm really showing my lack of cultural awareness.

Nish, it sounds like you've had a pretty eventful new year. Let me read you a headline from GB News. Nish Kumar sparks BBC hootenanny switch-off threats with unnecessary politics swipe. Hugely unfunny. What happened?

OK, well, let me fill the audience in on what GB News was so upset by. So Jules Holland asked you if there was anything you wanted to look back on. And you said, well, the Conservative Party lost the election and I was rock hard for a week, Jules. And at 39, that's quite hard to come by.

Now, like any good conspiracy theory, there is a kernel of truth in this. In 2009, the CPS dismissed some cases in Rotherham when CPS lawyers, in all their wisdom, decided that the victims would not be reliable or credible to a court.

Also, we should say this is not a news story. These abuse cases, they go back to 1997. There have been several inquiries across the country and there was a national inquiry led by Alexis Jay. The recommendations she made in 2022 were not implemented, however, by the Conservative government.

I mean, that is the voice we need to hear more of. Actual experts on violence against women and girls, like committed champions of victims. Instead, all we get is men with their puffed out chests. They're just arguing like, no, I'm the protector of women and girls. No, I'm the protector of women and girls.

Like women and girls are being let down across the board in this country and all across the world. It's just, it's really, really upset me. And she's absolutely right. We should be hearing the victims' voices much more in this.

I mean, how chilling is that? How horrendous is that? I mean, surviving what they went through, that was already enough. That was already monumental. And now to actually hear that a victim is saying, oh, did we not do enough? It's ingrained, it's endemic, the misogyny. And I would just say, because I've been thinking a lot about this,

The problem with misogynistic culture is that the people that participate in it don't ever think they're a misogynist. Even in like other parts of the world where it's tremendously unsafe to be a woman, where you're deprived of your rights in the public life, in education, in all sorts of places. The patriarchs that run that would never say, I hate women. They would say, we love women.

We protect women. We're just allowing women to fulfill their whatever idea they have of womanhood is. Fundamentally, the thing that unites those cultures and some of the misogynists involved in this conversation here in Britain is this deep belief that they know better than women. They will speak on behalf of women. It just makes me so furious, Nish, honestly.
