This woman won’t wheesht about Palestine
I think one of the most disastrous things that’s happened as our lives moved online is that ‘block’ function on social media. I think we’ve brought up a generation of humans who can’t cope with the fact that they can’t block everyone they don’t like in real life. What’s even more destructive is that it’s…

Please don’t wait for Jeremy
Apart from anything else, I have a feeling it’s the last thing he wants you to do. If he’s learned the same lessons I have from being involved with the assemblies movement, he’ll be hoping like hell that you’re just getting on with it, your way. We really, seriously do need that thing everyone’s been…

This is what lefty feminism looks like
There’s something I’ve been busting to tell you for ages – and then I could, but all week, I haven’t (remember that feminist quip from the 1970s – I was going to start a revolution but I couldn’t get a babysitter?) I love Ros Sitwell. I’ve been trying to grab some time to write about…

Nae King II
Nae King I was my response to the penultimate devolution/re-structuring consultation in Hastings. You can read about that here… I went to HBC’s final one yesterday, and there were more people and more ideas than at the last but Nae King II is not a report on that meeting so much as a development of…

Hastings demands… Nae King!
Journalists and others have been commenting on the lack of interest Hastings has shown in the demise of HBC but, it seems to me that Hastings is only just finding out it’s happening. As we set off up the West Hill on Monday for the first of the two discussions on the topic that Hastings…

Come to the pre-party party!
The government just isn’t working for us, and now our local council is about to be pulled from under our feet – well, to a great extent, the council wasn’t working for us any more, either but – what’s left for us? A month or so back, we had a big meeting at Winding Street…

What would you do?
When you carry the Homeland in your heart and travel the world with it, you become its ambassador wherever you go, telling its story, transporting its concerns and spreading its culture. – Amjad Rfaie If that sounds to you like the antidote to genocide, you’re thinking the way I am but Amjad has a more…

The Gish gallop
This is the 3rd in my ‘time savers’ series, for activists who are horrified to see the same hollow arguments of the gender ideology cult doing the rounds again. Thanks to JH for drawing my attention to this one. As always seems to happen, an example turned up on a local page and exasperated a…

A plague on both your houses
AirBnB and Amazon – which one do you reckon is doing the most harm to the world? Or, as I am feeling today, which one would you least want to touch with a barge-pole? Towards the end of last year, I spent several months trying to have a conversation with AirBnB about their alleged platforming…

Unknowers trying to find out
Every now and then my blog loses a bunch of followers, and I look back at the last few articles to see who I’ve offended, and how. Occasionally, someone tells me, then I do a lot of thinking. I don’t get anywhere near everything right but for some reason, that doesn’t bother me the way…
