Stead Donne

I look at the back of the tapestry now

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

My old friend. It knew a time before the British Empire, the Tory Party, the Labour Party, the USA, the Maxim Gun, Marxism, the chainsaw. It may outlive them all.

We don't talk much. All it takes from me is protection. It's not folly to love a source of sense of perspective.

@DuncanHenry78 It's that pissing in the men's is a ground circuit that drains away their tragic fantasy.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@DamCou Agree. But also "non governmental organisation" are the three words that best describe the British State itself.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@RosieKayK2CO @roisinmurphy @BBCWomansHour I'll go with "What's the BBC?": because there's a more obvious Murphy-Kay collaboration.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@ponyfaceddog Yes. Both:

<Repent what?

We wouldn't have to go into the details.>

In Godot that's weighty, so to speak: Milligan could gun this stuff out three a minute.

@ponyfaceddog If Mephistopheles had rustled up Nolan's Helen for him, Faust ...

@blablafishcakes @Amanda2010___ JM's Dad published a novel featuring transvestites and ritual castration. I can't find a copy but I think it might be the Ur-text that disrupted the teenage Jolyon's psyche.

@QcWynter "Competance and Authority" = Ruthless

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@raqaellapaella @MrMennoTweets @NoSecretLessons @BristolTed No. I am almost extinct, but I just don't think Page and Menno going hammer and tongs is going to forge Excalibur.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@MrMennoTweets @NoSecretLessons @BristolTed @raqaellapaella This is going nowhere. Pack it in or I'll have to mute the pair of you.

THIS IS NO IDLE THREAT.

@ripx4nutmeg Poor Jolyon - he can't do wrong for doing wrong.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@miffythegamer @janeclarejones You feel "genuine pity"?

Confirmation: you don't know what "genuine" means.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@blablafishcakes @jk_rowling These blokes have themselves butchered, because they believe they are women.

There's nothing hidden here:

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@ponyfaceddog Dismissing Freud out of hand *is* the proper intelligent way to engage with him - as a clinician.

If, as a Bloomer, you're recommending Freud as a mage, well, magicians are also best dismissed out of hand.

@DreyfusJames They didn't lie. They were merely ignorant.

When something previously fiercely forbidden becomes allowed, it will speedily become socially dominant.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@_HelenDale They deliriously streak their faces with the spilt blood. Savages.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@lascapigliata8 They fck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

But just you wait and see what pae-

Diatricians want to do to you.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@hatpinwoman Well said, Poet. To preface one's compassion with a political statement signals that the following compassion will be an act, or, at most, something heartfelt that could wait the while.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@BettsCaro Amnesty has "decolonised" itself and pivoted to "global majority opinion".

So Amnesty is now the enemy of anyone even halfways liberal.

[Stead Donne @SteadDonne]

@AllianceLGB Bisexuality should be celebrated? Why? By whom? How?

I thought you lot were relatively sensible. Apparently not.
