Murdering random Jews in response to Israeli state violence is violent antisemitism. It shouldn't be necessary to state that. And yet

"Genocide" and "War Crimes" are two concepts that belong to a unique class: ideas that should carry moral weight and that people believe carry moral weight but all modern evidence points overwhelmingly to the contrary.

A printer and a printer’s son My great grandmother Agnes Court (née Casey) was born in 1875. She gave birth to her first child in 1895 and her twelfth – that we know of – in 1921. After Edward came Ellen, then Willi…

Some research I wrote up last year about my grandad's brother Edward Court (1895-1906) and the man who tried to save him, a socialist councillor called John Bannochie.

Looking forward to finishing my book manuscript and doing a few more family history bits:

Reading Kiera Bell's story it's clear she wasn't trans, she wanted to fit in with her male friends. She fooled doctors because it's what she wanted. To try and punish people, who are actually trans, for misleading others is abhorrent.
The truth of many needs to supercede the voice of the minority

As someone who currently has a fit note for mental health issues, part of the reason so many people are on them is that it takes so long to get support because the NHS is chronically underfunded and understaffed.

Speaking of our diabolical media class, the bbc are running a story about how many sick notes are issued by GPs to be signed off work with mental health being the main reason, another stick to beat ordinary people with, also has Wes’ grubby hands all over it

Clearly, Polanski lied a bit about his embarrassing news story. And since all lies are equally bad, that's very serious. But let's not lose sight of the fact that the reporter's breasts DID get larger, and none of the other party leaders have demonstrated magical powers of any kind.

“She’s the exception, I am the rule.”

Such articulate cutting through of the nonsense around puberty blockers and eg Keira Bell’s detransitioning from Stephanie Lynnette on GMB this morning. It is also a refreshing relief to see a trans person actually being allowed to speak for once!
