Please offer an interview to a rep from For Women Scotland. You have now given given significant airtime to their Supreme Court victory and the trans community’s response to it. Surely For Women Scotland deserve the right of reply.
Excellent respectful inquiring interview with President Vucic that drew out his view including of the ‘interventionist’ West. A textbook “10” on informing the audience of the interviewee’s views/perspective whilst respectfully disagreeing with some comments.
