This is the same court hearings where, as Daniel mentioned, that Joshua Bonehill Payne made a Nazi salute at his funeral.
Luciana Berger has not discounted the whole debate around rehabilitation, but her argument seems to be that there are many things you can do, including educate other people, especially younger people, those at risk.
You can tell your story and use it as a sort of cautionary tale.
But she draws the line at public office, in particular because of the level and type of sustained abuse she says that she was subjected to and that we know she was subjected to, as Daniel said, from the judge said in court.
What Camille Badenoch, though, has argued is that, yes, what he's done is appalling and abhorrent, but we should focus on what he's doing now.
And interestingly enough, and there's been a bit of a backlash to this point, she said, it's not as if I'm making him a national politician.
This is a much more sort of junior, less high profile job.
Part of her argument is that there is a difference between being a councillor and being an MP.
ultimately making decisions over roads or bin collections and national policy.
But the fact that he would be, if elected, being paid by taxpayers and making decisions that impact their lives is to some, in particular to Luciana Berger, a step too far.
And there are people, because of that ongoing candidate selection process and difficult decisions that are being made, and clearly people who are being upset by being sort of banned or barred from selection or election, that means that those conversations are...
are really ongoing in Conservative associations amongst former MPs within WhatsApp groups that is such a live conversation this summer as the Conservatives are ultimately trying to be prepared for ideally for them an election in a few years time but maybe something sooner if Andy Burnham suddenly calls an election I think you're right that has added to the
I don't know if you'd necessarily call it the toxicity of this debate, but the frustration on the part of some conservative activists that Camus Badenoch has taken, ultimately, quite an obscure conservative activist, not in his criminality, but in his profile within their party, and taken him to a point where he is creating national headlines towards the top of broadcast bulletins on BBC Radio and TV and on the second news story on the website, I think, earlier.
Partly that's of course because we're in August and there aren't big international summits and Parliament's not sitting in courts, generally not sitting.
But she has created, perhaps accidentally, a big story here.
It is about her judgment ultimately and there are some within her party who privately don't think that judgment and that call was the right one.
I bet they didn't.
And the number of views, I think 34 million views when I checked on YouTube this morning, I think about 50,000 subscribers.
So he does have a pretty significant political platform.
I'm sure nobody made the link here.
