Hey Stonewall, don’t worry – I’ve had an idea!
Stonewall – the organisation that lesbian and gay people formed to fight for the right of same-sex attracted people to live full lives, just like everyone else: they weren’t about right or left, they weren’t progressive or conservative or religious or humanist any more than anyone else was. They were just same-sex attracted people who…

How the gender identity industry broke society
This is a companion piece to an article I published a couple of days ago. It’s here, if you’d like to read it first… People didn’t mean to destroy the atmosphere by building a life that depended on the petrol engine. People didn’t mean to create the slave-driving gig-economy by pressurising each other to join…

How the Gender Identity Industry Broke Politics
Before the world went mad, when I was still Vice-Chair of a Labour CLP, and active with my union, and had a seat on the committee of my favourite lefty group, I started hearing really weird things about sex and gender, including being told by a couple of therapist friends I knew that they were…

Not the Forde Report
When I was out and about in Wales, one of the things I enjoyed was taking photos of any Welsh language signs and posters, so I could check out the meaning later, and learn some new words. I took this one by accident because I didn’t know Splott was a name, so wondered what a…

Please don’t waste your valuable time and skills on party politics
I left the Labour Party last year. They had the audacity to suspend our elected delegate mid-conference. It was one of those ‘retrospective suspensions’, where they’d suddenly make a rule against something, then suspend someone for having done that thing before they made the rule. For that reason, I resigned retrospectively. It wasn’t just because…

Fed up with long, complicated blog articles?
I had a couple of complaints last week that my blogs are getting long – sorry, here’s one for you – it’s so short that it fits in the header pic, so you can just share it like a meme, if you want. Please send it to your MP – too many of them still…

Are you still demanding better?
Please don’t stop demanding better! Whilst the mainstream news outlets think we’re really interested in watching the Conservative Party choose which member of the government that has been driving the cost-of-living crisis should be Prime Minister next… …we are busy demanding better. Please don’t stop. I went down to Hastings Station today to talk to…

Two more reasons to celebrate Mo Farah
I nearly didn’t write a blog about Mo Farah. I nearly settled for a Facebook comment… … That’s because – well, he’s famous already, it’s a headline story already, so it doesn’t need one more telling from me – but then I realised there’s something missing from most of the big media stories. Yes, we…

Macy Days and UK Ways
Or: What’s with ‘the hostage video’? Look what happened – first, we had a clear and refreshing statement, made by an adult women, voluntarily discussing ‘The Issue’ on a show she presumably volunteered to go on. She seems quite relaxed, and happy to chat on volatile issues like the US flag, and what a woman…

Find the human – then find some more humans
Avanti Lentemente (forward, slowly) This is the story of a train ticket. It is quite long but it contains a big welfare issue (actually, the biggest welfare issue) and a potential time-saver (actually, a life saver) for humans everywhere. One day back in June, I turned up at Penrith station with the intention of getting…
