Today seems like an appropriate day to repost this clip from a gig I did on a night where Graham Linehan starting piling on me on Twitter a few years ago.

Today is the 10th anniversary of my first ever stand-up gig. I sometimes wonder where I’d be now if I’d continued performing comedy, and I think the answer is probably at my GP’s office, asking for strong antidepressants.

I thought this anti-immigration lot were supposed to be against foreigners entering other countries to commit crimes…

Genuinely don’t think anything has been more damaging to the political discourse in this country than the way the media and politicians have all tried to blur the lines of the meanings of words by constantly wrongly using “asylum seekers” and “illegal migrants” as interchangeable terms.

Being on BlueSky and not Twitter, I sometimes forget just how ridiculous anti-trans activists are, and then I see one post something like “genders hadn’t been invented when I was born”, and all I can do is question how they got to this point in life.

Fun fact: The ECU actually used the phrase “trans identity”, not “trans ideology”, and, in editing that quote, this BBC article about a presenter expressing anti-trans views breaching editorial guidelines has itself breached editorial guidelines. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It is utterly insane to claim that BBC News has a “pro-trans bias”, when they are currently publishing articles in which they describe trans women as “a biological male who identifies as a woman”. That isn’t them quoting anyone, that is them choosing to use the language of gender critical bigots.

A brief response to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social talking about the Supreme Court ruling regarding trans people (and, as is always necessary nowadays, an endorsement of @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party).

Interesting that the Metropolitan Police appear to have decided, based on the Graham Linehan case, that inciting violence is no longer a crime, despite no change in the law happening since he was arrested. Insane the level the British state will go to protect transphobes.

Can’t wait for Keir Starmer to criticise the Israeli police for being antisemitic by stopping Jewish supporters from enjoying a football match.

Obviously a slip of the tongue, but I think “she champions the erosion of women’s rights” might be the first honest thing a supporter of JK Rowling has ever said about her.

I sincerely question whether this “headline”, the way it is presented, completely lacking in any objectivity or neutrality, is a suitable, appropriate or acceptable use of the BBC News ticker. It’s a quote stoking racial tensions by a desperate politician, presented as a statement of fact.

Probably just an electrical hum you can hear coming from the lights because of how fucking empty and quiet it is, mate.

It’s funny, because what Sarah Vine is saying in this paragraph is absolutely true, she is just too lacking in self-awareness to realise that she’s actually talking about herself, JK Rowling, Graham Linehan, and every other subscriber to anti-trans ideology.

Graham Linehan wouldn’t be able to make Father Ted today because
1. he’s already made it.
2. he’s too busy spending time harassing trans people on Twitter to bother writing comedy (or, indeed, having a family) any more.
