He/Him, VI. Whoer Centrist Leftist everything else. Talks Doctor Who, Disability Representation and Disability Representation in Doctor Who. Destroyer of Creeps
So here it is. My 200,000th tweet.
I’ve used this account properly for 11 and a half years now. I’ve met some beautiful people through Twitter. Some of my closest friends.
Yes, you get the occasional twat, but they’re FAR outweighed by the good guys.

I don’t like bullies. I particularly don’t like bullies who target disabled and neurodiverse people. It’s particularly upsetting when some of the people doing it are themselves disabled.
Be better. Be kind. Show people grace. Don’t pile onto people.
Don’t be a cunt.
We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved friend and colleague Danny Kelly has died, aged 69.
A cherished part of talkSPORT for so many years, Danny brought extraordinary wit, warmth and knowledge to our airwaves. His passion for football, music and life was infectious, and his kindness touched everyone around him.
“I love football, Stan. I love it.”
We loved you, Danny. We’ll miss you dearly.
Our thoughts are with Danny’s family, friends and everyone who loved listening to him.
We need to look at our language around people like Walliams. Saying he’s been “cancelled” makes it sound like he’s told an iffy joke or something. The guys fucking sexual predator.
Let’s not trivialise the experiences of his victims.
A TV worker confided in comedian Lucy Beaumont that he was asked to take young women to David Walliams' dressing room, she tells @CathyNewman. Beaumont says she later found one of the women and offered help. Sky News has contacted Walliams' representatives about this allegation.
🚨 NEW: The BBC says Little Britain and Come Fly With Me are being removed from iPlayer while it reviews "all material" featuring or written by David Walliams
If your biggest concern about a man using his power to abuse women and underage girls is that a second rate episode of Doctor Who has been removed from iPlayer then you might just need to reevaluate your priorities.
Anyone else remember when Russel Brand used to host “Big Brothers Big Mouth” in the mid 2000s and he’d talk about his (supposedly fictional) shagging circuit which included Walliams, Gaffney and “Beppe”?
@TharriesYT Blimey. If anyone needed to read RTD’s book or watch TipToe, just to get a grasp on the history of suggestions such as this and how they’ve been weaponised to attack the LGBTQ community… That’s appalling.
@amandapalmer Such a strong field it has to be a top 3:
3. Kris Kristofferson - For the Good Times
2. ABBA - The Winner Takes it All
1. Elvis Costello - A Good Year For the Roses
Comedian Stewart Lee called out Russell Brand all the way back in April 7, 2008.
"The way Russell Brand makes up names for his own penis makes him sound like a child molester."
The end is hilarious.
