Question Time: Paris Is Burning

Paris Lees seemed to be quite the hit on last night's Question Time.
A star is born! etc.
Though it turned into a bit of a love-in on Twitter.
Surely everyone can't have, not just agreed with, but adored everything she said?
But yes, she did make those identikit MPs - Chris Bryant included - look ever so grey.
It's not on YouTube in full yet, but you can watch it on BBC iPlayer here.

Paris is profiled on the BBC News website, From Prison To Transgender Role Model...

Strangely, Paris thanked provocative writer Julie Burchill when she topped the Pink List earlier this month.
Burchill was widely criticised for an Observer article in which she described "trannies" as "a bunch of bed-wetters in bad wigs" - a piece which Paris describes as "pure transphobia".
"I'm grateful to her for doing that because it was so bad that it put trans on the radar for a lot of people," says Paris.
"Julie Burchill, thank you for being awful."
