What do words mean? A prediction, and a scrap of advice for 2023
2023 will be a year to choose your words carefully and stand by them, and it will be a year in which doing so may cause your opponents to froth at the mouth. It may also result in your being arrested, and actually charged, for uttering illegal words. These days, I have a slight nag […]

The “no debate” debate
I thought I’d wave goodbye to 2022 with an appeal for a re-discovery of the ability to disagree without dying. I am the proud owner of a review copy of Tony Greenstein’s Zionism During the Holocaust. I’ve read quite a bit of it, and when I’ve finished, I’ll be doing a proper review but today, […]

The Ghost of Christmas Rational
They have called us everything under the sun. They have run to the bosses with slanders and tried to push us out of work, out of our unions and out of politics.

Ha ha! Here’s proof the left are far-right!
If I was going to be really bitchy… well alright, I am going to be a bit wicked. Here’s why… Some years ago now, a group of trade unionist women got together to deal with the blatantly obvious clash between Stonewall’s advocacy of sex self-ID and women’s legal rights. (I think now everyone’s seen what’s […]

We know what we want
In fact, we know what we NEED. There was a well-attended march and rally today, 19th November, from Hastings Pier to the town centre. The march was led by a group of nurses, bearing the Hastings Demands a Pay Rise banner. Talking to the protesters gathering at the pier, I was told that nurses and […]

The Subject of Desire
I always hate it when a “sexuality” question turns up in all those random forms you have to fill in. Even when you get past “do I want to tell you this,” you still have the problem of what to put – is a bi woman lesbian when she has a female partner? Is she […]
