Powerful stuff. But what can we ordinary folk do about it? We read about it and that's important -- but then what? Any ideas? These people are monsters, Bond villains and worse. But they're so powerful. And maybe destroying the world.

I've looked it up briefly and it involved a denial of something someone quoted she'd said about a person. Giving her the benefit of the doubt, and it was many years ago, it looks as if it's a non story. But she's wrong now about what she just said.

Can't remember details and no time to search but wasn't she once in trouble for derogatory remarks about the demography of NY City? Not as bad (from memory) as Jesse Jackson's venture also long ago into that area. (Back then the 'H' word + 'town'.)

Now what was that I read about toxic masculinity?

But ... if it avoids war? Nuclear war? An exchange of nukes, East and West involving the UK? Remember the BMA report on the effects of a 1 megaton bomb on London? Well, things are far worse now. Nothing could be worse for the climate crisis than a nuke war now.

Reading Paul Holden's 'The Fraud' I can barely bring myself to look at that man never mind listen to him. I've not experienced this since the days of Thatcher.

Thanks for the question. I'll answer by citing a book. And just now when looking for it I see there's an article in Wikipedia on it! But in short, from memory (long time since I read the book) the authors conclude that there is something demonic about male sexuality, not just human males.

Thanks! I'm very ambivalent about "glinner", I wouldn't use the kind of language he used, it's counterproductive at least. Also abusive. As a male in humble support of the feminist cause I think all that's needed is keep males out of female spaces for comfort security safety. Mocking unhelpful!

Did the judge get it right or wrong in that case, Catherine? I don't know the details, just the headlines.

Maybe it's not about juries or judge-alone, the problem is adversarial system with its inbuilt dichotomous thinking. Consider alternative eg French approach, examination of facts.

Rowena Mason has a very useful straight guide to the budget with analysis. People will be sorry if the lose both Guardian and BBC.

Mad DOGE and Englishmen stay out in the midday sun...

I'm so tired of the tsunami of independent journalism overwhelming us now. Screaming in the market place, buy me, read, watch me! It's the wrong answer to a failed MSM if only cos most of us can't afford the £s here there everywhere. The worst lure u in, then it's subscribers only. Exasperating!

Dancing arms legs swaying hips but something in me sees those black blocks in the middle "wanting" to form into a swastika, which doesn't say anything about the graphic--make your own Rorschach...
