Ann Widdecombe: you can’t play the game so stop trying to make up the rules
Boring herself to sleep: this is a shot from when Ann Widdecombe quit the Tories to stand as a Brexit Party candidate for the European Parliament. She won a seat there (briefly) – but the voters on Strictly had the good sense to vote her out.
Who does Ann Widdecombe think she is?
The Tory/Brexit Party has-been has burst out of her kennel like a puppy desperate for attention, to berate the TV game show Strictly Come Dancing for allowing same-sex couples to dance together.
It’s as though she actually enjoys provoking responses like this one:
Ann Widdecombe says that ’families don’t want to see same-sex couples’ on Strictly Come Dancing. But honestly, did any of us ever ask to see this? I think not. pic.twitter.com/9dpyr9Kdz3

She certainly seems misinformed:

But at least it gives us a chance to make fun of her again. And again. And again…
In the same way that Kent has become Faragegarage, the mouth of the Teign near her house could be filled with queueing container ships and be renamed Widdecombe Bay? pic.twitter.com/xgT69oS6KH

To be fair, there are some gay Tories who can’t stand her because of her homophobia. I know one, who calls her the ‘Widdebigot’. She has a right to express her views, of course, but this shows how the far right is trying to push the pendulum back a decade and a half after Dodgy Dave Cameron made the Tories more gay-friendly and put his weight behind gay marriage.
