Am I just getting more cynical, or is the world getting more stupid? I'm starting to think Idiocracy was a documentary, not a satire.

Looking forward to an evening of great theatre at the Theatre Royal in Norwich. Les Miserables as done by the amateur theatre groups of East Anglia!

There's a bill passing through parliament at the moment called the Data Bill
An added amendment would completely remove trans people's right to privacy, and could even revert legal documents
We have to apply a lot of pressure on this one too MPs. More info here:

I’ve made a 20 minute video about the current state of discussion surrounding trans rights in the UK. The piece is kind of what it would be like if John Oliver were British, if you could imagine such a thing.

I believe all people should stand with the oppressed, the underdogs, the unjustly accused, no matter how hard the oligarchs and demagogues try to convince you otherwise.

Weaponising DEI is a symptom of a misogynistic oligarchy that doesn't want a human workforce but a drone army they can control and exploit. Real humanity is looking past the surface, looking for - and accepting - the value in others.

My grandparents fought in WW2 in Europe. My 16 year-old grandfather hid in lofts and joined the armed resistance to fight for the life of those he loved in occupied Belgium.

Sometimes I fear parody is prescient. It has been my contention for some time now that if a country has a retirement age, all members of the political leadership should also adhere to it. Older does not automatically mean wiser!
