- Sorry I'm crap at responding to comms right now. I could well be hallucinating but I think I gained 10K followers in last few days, and my phone is also melting. THANK YOU to the wonderful people who keep me going. I appreciate every single one of you. I'll answer messages soon.
- I try to remain reasonable in an unreasonable world. But if one more politician resorts to the "both sides... baffled at toxicity... culture war" rhetoric I may go postal. In the last few years I have: - fought through hostile crowd to get to Brighton meeting, been struck on
- Turns out if you spend ten years equating emotional harm with the gravity of physical harm, people will get casual about physical harm. Who knew.

- Mermaids must fall next.
- I wrote for the Sunday Times today about Vogue magazine's total betrayal of female athletes
- I know I have a rep for calm serenity but the closer we get to sanity, the more I feel need to wreak vengeance, raze buildings, salt the land and take down every Establishment or celeb muppet that ever fell for gender nonsense, till they are all in outer reaches of the D-list.
