Kemi Badenoch has given credence to a conspiracy theory about the Netflix hit Adolescence being based on a real story, but involving a black boy not a white boy.
...
This has been described as wholly untrue by Jack Thorne, the writer and co-creator of the series....
 In an earlier LBC interview this morning she said that she had not actually watched the programme, because “I don’t have time to watch anything these days, to be honest.”
Dear Armando Iannucci,(*),
Please, please, please, just satire innit.
Yours SV,

It strikes me as desperate in the attempt to differentiate rather than put forward a position. The Tories really don't seem to know what they are for, just what they are against.

She's badenoch to be a Doctor Who villain, but sadly she's real.
