Ok. Let me clear a few things up for people. This is a thread, pls read...
1. I was on the social-services ‘at-risk’ register throughout my childhood.
2. My family & I spent time in @womensaid hostels.
3. My mum was helped by @Gingerbread when we finally left my violent father
I haven’t required a fiction book this holiday. I’m literally reading the Jason Arday stuff instead. It gets more bonkers by the day🤯
The updates re ‘locked in syndrome’ etc genuinely made me laugh out loud.
If this Jason fella was a white working-class geeza down the pub, his mates would have named him ‘Jackanory’. Each time he returned from the bar; “Jack is back” would have echoed. People would have laughed at his tales & nobody would have taken him seriously. They would have applied a bucket of salt to anything he said.
HOWEVER- Because Jason has black skin, he was instead put on a pedestal & worshipped. Promoted beyond his means by people & organisations who should have known better, but who couldn’t help but salivate at the opportunity to tick boxes and seem virtuous. Non would likely have questioned anything he said - They would have been busy congratulating themselves, thinking *they* were the superior ones. Looking down on anyone who dared raise questions…
Critics & those questioning were smeared, ridiculed and even risked police prosecution. The word “Racist” was obviously thrown around like confetti.
DEI is an utter disaster. This farce is a perfect example of why it is time for it to go in the bin. It should indeed be a turning point.
Jason and his champions look very, very silly indeed. They should all be embarrassed and should learn from this…tho I suspect they won’t.
… I await the next chapter in the tale eagerly, with a cocktail in hand.. 🍹

I had a great time last night at the @GBNEWS birthday party❤️
Now, I’m heading back to my family holiday…. ✈️
Thank you to everyone who came along last night and to everyone who watches and supports us.
I say it often, but we really, really do appreciate you 🙏🏻
'My ambition is that everybody has the courage to stand up against the nonsense they know in their hearts is wrong!'
@MichelleDewbs on inspiring others to speak up, push back against woke initiatives and fight for greater freedom of speech.
I saw the, frankly embarrassing, original video earlier & was going to respond…
But then, I saw this ⬇️ & I decided instead just to laugh…
@intel_lady does it well 👏🏻
Just laugh at the ridiculousness & just say NO.
Some MPs go on holiday & not feel the need to make performative outrage videos about Women's spaces being protected, but 'Summer of Sex' campaigner Samantha Niblett couldn't resist the chance to make sure people don't forget about her & her opinions #parody
Afternoon… 👋🏻
I’m looking forward to a special ‘Celebrating Britain’ event tonight for @GBNEWS
With that in mind, tell me… What do YOU love about our nation?
What would you like to see us celebrate?
What/who would you like to give a shout out to?
❤️
Rod Liddle, The Spectator's associate editor, has died at the age of 66.
Michael Gove, The Spectator’s editor, said: "Rod Liddle was a journalist of genius. In the tradition of Swift, Cobbett and Orwell, he was a satirist who found society’s most sensitive spots and made merciless fun of our follies.
"He was always fearless, could be achingly funny and while he had an adamantine core of principle he could also surprise. Because he was original – he thought for himself and never wanted anyone’s approval – he was special and brave.
"In person, Rod was kind and gentle. He was an indulgent boss and brilliantly creative editor at the BBC and an always steadfast and generous colleague. He had a deep love of England, of its culture and in particular the common sense of its working class.
"He was also a master of the written word. He was very much loved by those who knew him. And no words we can summon can capture our loss."
