“Transphobic bigots” in the tweets, “reasonable disagreement” in the broadsheets

Personally speaking, as someone who wrote about MI6 boss pronouns in the Times this week, I’m not furious about it, I’m deeply, contemptuously amused (also not on the Right but never mind about that)

At this point, what would convince BBC bosses that a neverending deluge of LGBT Inc schmaltz is neither good journalism, nor what most licence payers want?

My letter to the The Spectator about that grotesque article by the grotesque misogynist:
'A sorry tale
Sir: I’ve spent years investigating prostitution worldwide to test the idea of it being a career choice. I’ve conducted interviews in more than 40 countries and interviewed…

She was told to withdraw this comment by the Deputy Speaker and had to do so. I think I embarrassed her and her wealthy chums who have thrown lesbian rights under the bus of their ambitions

My letter to the Morning Star responding to the appalling 'review' it recently published glorifying anti-materialist reactionary Judith Butler's latest book.
