Peep Show star Robert Webb has attacked a UK charity that helps to save trans lives. The British comedian slammed Mermaids in a series of tweets that backed an article written by The Times’ Janice Turner. Turner accused the charity of lying to people using ‘cod science’. The Times also chose to not include Mermaids’ full response to their query. Webb said: ‘This won’t make me popular in certain quarters but fuck it – I’m with Janice and I don’t say it often enough. ‘He added: ‘I’ve talked to some really nice trans people here and they have my solidarity if they want it. But Mermaids sucks.’
