What are governments for?
We had a solidarity gathering at Hastings Station – for – well, do you remember them? “They” are our essential workers. “They” are, essentially, us. But, since more and more trade unions have announced industrial action due to the neglect and underpayment of essential workers, the newspapers and our government have been trying to tell…

On being disinformed
***Long read*** For most of the last decade, despite my determination to live effectively in the real world, I have been repeatedly drawn into apparently intractable battles of words. It’s not just me, either. I’ve lost count of the number of people who’ve told me they’ve given up on politics entirely because “it’s all so…

History in the making…
Adult Human Female: a documentary in defence of women’s rights I am humbly asking all my friends, comrades and readers of my blog to please do something for me.

I’m not that fussed how you vote
If the last few years have proved anything, it is that we have problems with the operators in all our political parties, the difference is, we have manipulative, selfish billionaires mostly driving the Conservative Party and manipulative, selfish millionaires everywhere else. First, vote… That doesn’t mean, however, that voting doesn’t matter. It’s not going to…

Real feminism
I wrote a piece recently in which I suggested we dump the phrase ‘gender critical’. Someone who read it messaged me and said “so what shall we call ourselves instead?” First, let’s look at the issue… What’s wrong with ‘gender critical’? I had been wondering, but others were ahead of me, pointing out that you…
