"How can we ensure that we are heard not only by those who oppose us, but by our allies, who are also lost for words?” Jay Bernard speaking about #SURGE to The Guardian after winning the Ted Hughes Award: theguardian.com/books/2018/apr… See #Surge at the Albany Deptford, 20-22 June

So glad this ended in a conviction and deeply sorry that Dr Anita Sethi 🍃 and many others have to deal with this crap more frequently nowadays. ‘Are you sure?’ is an unacceptable reaction on every level 😡
