@CaraPac46808618@MrsNickyClark No I wish humans well. A confused individual living their life, I only have compassion for.
I don’t wish people who seek to compel my speech and values well. I will resist that.
These are not the same things and I think you’re obscuring this with me and on Ronson’s behalf
@CaraPac46808618@MrsNickyClark GL hasn’t changed. He was the witchfinder general on twitter for years. JR didn’t disavow until incredibly successful & aggressive ideological activism created a new rights supremacy overnight, demanding conformity. We all know that’s what happened, despite JR self revisionism
@CaraPac46808618@MrsNickyClark I’ve explained what is cowardly. It’s also cowardly to claim neutrality by pretending the issue isn’t a binary conflict of rights. I’m disinterested in anyone who identifies as trans and wish them well as a fellow human. But that’s not what this is about
@CaraPac46808618@MrsNickyClark I mean “wrong” as in “considered incorrect” by JR. GL’s behaviour online is unchanged in nearly two decades and I’ve never had any time for it, but his old friends didn’t seem to mind. The cowardice is ending a friendship over a bien-pensant issue then selling books off it
@ArrC94 There’s no probably about it. Online Bears are becoming as much of a bed wetting embarrassment as the young team masking up to copy the Groin Brigade are
@jonnyrmcfarlane@derekclarksport you boys worrying about CB depth on the show earlier but McInnes has suggested no more exits which means Souttar surely comes into the squad again?
@Ricky9Forbes people not getting their head around professional football is a hive where styles of football are imposed, not chosen, by coaches all reacting to each other. I love the midfield general archetype too but they are out of fashion. Gilmour no more use than Neil in this team
@GerryHassan I agree with half of this but I’m not convinced you do. In what period would previous Gerry Hassans ever said IEA was a serious think tank doing serious research work. Rhetorical pulp to make the same tired lefty smears
@juliahobsbawm@DAaronovitch@Glinner Indeed, a subtle repositioning no doubt when the ground was hard to hold. We’ve seen the same flexibility from many after Arday died. In life he was clearly an exposed liability. In death though, boy oh boy, what battle CAN’T you wage with a martyred saint?
@samhaselby Yes he’s a great historian who bases his statements on much research and factual insight. You must be confusing him with a political hack #projection.
@KyleKulinski Talk about burying the lead! I know it’s inconvenient for many to have the victims of a deliberate genocidal famine to be chomping in 3k calories but it’s eye opening for the rest of us who aren’t anti-Semite lunatics
@ibroxrocks I’m happy to move that particularly player on but I do think it leaves us one short in an already small pool of match winner/x factor type player. Maybe Minsu replaces that but we need more IMO
@FeministRoar@thomasmorr76510 My understanding was that was exactly why ties were cut. GL quotes relevant JR messages in his recent piece and there was a Ronson/Adam Buxton convo for a few years ago where they strongly imply his gender critical views put him beyond their in-group pale
