  • Please have pity on the PWATTDWLRWPTDSE

    Please have pity on the PWATTDWLRWPTDSE

    I’ve had some grumbles from the People Who Are Trying To Destroy Women’s Legal Rights Whilst Pretending To Do Something Else. They say I’m blogging far too much, and posting my stuff about the place far too much. Well I would not want to annoy the PWATTDWLRWPTDSE, and looking back, I do seem to have […]

    The Tom Watsons of Feminism

    ***long read for the weekend (with, as requested, apology to those who work weekends – long read for your day orf, if you’re lucky enough to get one?)*** This post is most definitely for lefties, but if you’re a feminist thinking WTF is going on with all this lefty misogyny and why are they calling […]

  • Never let a bully win

    Never let a bully win

    I was told when I signed up as a Labour Party officer that I should ‘never let a bully win’. I looked at the situation in the Party and agreed that it was true. The evidence was manifold. We lefties inherited an organisation that was impossible to steer because it had, for several decades, been […]

    To speak or not to speak?

    Have the May council elections given women an answer to that dilemma? Surrounded by bullies, propagandists, and comfortable males who can’t be bothered to understand, women have had a hard job working out when or whether to raise women’s issues. There was much discussion in the lead up to the May elections as to whether […]

    Are we being honest, yet?

    ***Long read*** I have two blog posts that I shut down a few years back, because members of my Labour Party Branch were in danger of dying of apoplexy. That’s a joke okay – I know people do that in Victorian novels when they get very upset but… you know, even as a child reading […]

    Useful idiots

    Whatever your personal political position is, please indulge me while I set the scene with a couple of paragraphs of reminiscence. It’s 2017, and I am a lefty delegate from a lefty CLP. Lefty CLPs are in exuberant ascendancy, and we came to conference, one and all, with the intention not just of furthering our […]

  • The vital message hidden in those songs

    The vital message hidden in those songs

    Tonight you’re mine completely… Why were there so many girl groups in the 1960s singing about lost babies? It most definitely is not nostalgia for past boyfriends that makes my heart shiver when I hear those songs, and I know many women who can remember the ‘50s and ‘60s would agree. Social media brings political […]

  • Abort! Abort! Abort!

    Abort! Abort! Abort!

    Yes, I had an abortion once. Another time, I had what was a more or less deliberate miscarriage. Even that was safer and more efficient than the life-threatening exertions of a relative of mine a couple of generations back with no access to abortion who, desperate not to have another child in their overflowing home, […]

    We must rebuild trust – Ha ha ha!

    ***Long read for the weekend*** I’m writing this as I anxiously await the results of local council elections. It’s been a strange one for me, because it’s the first election since I foreswore party allegiance (I maintain that I didn’t leave Labour, Labour left me) – but the result still matters to me, because I […]

  • Thank you!

    Thank you!

    Thank you to those who have supported my blogging work over the past month. It really does make a huge difference. Whether it’s by means of likes, shares, comments or donations, it helps the message get out there, it means I can spend more time on it and perhaps most important of all, it tells […]
