Former "Doctor Who" actor David Tennant recently received an award at the British LGBT Awards for being an ally to the LGBTQ community. During his acceptance speech, he criticized UK Minister for Women and Equalities, Kemi Badenoch, telling her to "shut up" and expressing a desire for a world where she didn't exist. Badenoch, a Conservative Party leader, has been under scrutiny for her comments on sex and gender. Tennant's remarks sparked backlash from politicians, with Prime Minister Rushi Sunak defending freedom of speech and calling Tennant the problem, while others, like Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, accused him of misogyny. The dispute comes amidst Britain's General Election, and Tennant's comments have raised questions about whether he has gone too far in his criticism of the Conservative Party.
