prosecution of Scottish comedian Markus Meechan \u2014 better known as Count Dankula \u2014 for being \u201cgrossly offensive\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d

that comedians should be protected and that women need to be recognised as being women, others \u2014 especially in the United Kingdom \u2014 are struggling with that concept.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Britain\u2019s Chancellor for the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, was caught in an unbelievable position during an <a href=\"https:\/\/talkradio.co.uk\/radio\/listen-again\/1648103400\">interview<\/a> on Thursday, during which he studiously refused to define the term \u201cwoman\u201d, waving the question off by saying that he stood behind what Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the day before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought the Prime Minister answered this brilliantly in Prime Minister\u2019s Questions time\u2026 I fully agree with him,\u201d he said in response to the question \u201cwhat

not remember exactly what the Prime Minister had said.<br \/>\u201cI can\u2019t remember it,\u201d the Conservative Party political said, stuttering, but still reiterated that he \u201cthought
