I don’t think it is wise or possible to ignore the world’s most powerful persecutor of trans people

If you want to talk about a health scandal we will look back on in horror, consider the widespread online radicalisation of very powerful people

Are there still people who think JK Rowling is playing with a full deck of cards? I know her specific variety of mental decline is in vogue but come on

Just an incredible comeback

I’ll revise what I said. We read as much as possible to get all sides on an issue but having done that we’re open about our conclusions. We never set out to come to a certain position because that’s boring

I have to disagree on that particular episode. Obviously we’re not aiming for impartiality

No the former. Tom was very nice

I think it’s snobbery to say you must have a degree in history to be a historian. Countless great history books have been written by people who don’t

I recently listened to the episode on communism and I would have to disagree

But the subject is British history

Of course. Me saying it’s conservative is not me saying it’s bad

That’s a silly generalisation

Yes it depends on the subject

Hmm he has written several history books. How are you defining historian?

There is much to say on this, but the very first point that must be made as a matter of urgency to the NEC is that excluding trans women is not a "compromise position", it is a segregation position, a biased position, a transphobic position and a morally repugnant position.

Imagine being told in 1999 that the DVD mailout people would one day buy Warner Brothers for $72bn. "Wow," you would say. "They must be mailing out an awful lot of DVDs in 2025."

Some of them can be quite interesting in a long print interview but this method seems designed to produce nothing

Oh I know why it's like this but it's still funny that everyone has to pretend these nothingy three-minute radio interviews are of any value whatsoever

I think I spelled out why it's a big deal

The British ones are no different. It’s the system

Unpopular opinion but I’d much rather see Reed Hastings in charge of DC Comics, Looney Tunes, and the greatest and best-maintained film library on earth than Larry Ellison’s worst kid. Hope everybody at the cable networks finds a safe berth somewhere

That role could have gone to a 270-year-old actor who needed the work
