@AndreaTromans1 @recordplanet I'm okay. Thank you for asking. There are far worse things going on in the world than me having to bear a confrontation over a flag. And maybe I made someone think.

[Deborah O'Donoghue @TheDebODonoghue]

Not the biggest vinyl record fair in the world casually allowing its sellers to proudly fly the pro-slavery flag. Again. No wonder there's not a single black face to be seen here #RecordPlanet @recordplanet #brabanthallen #DenBosch

[Deborah O'Donoghue @TheDebODonoghue]

Certainly not overnight, no. This guy's been flying the same flag at every vinyl fair for years. I did pluck up my courage to speak to him. First I offered to buy the damned flag so he would have to take it down. He wouldn't sell. So I explained that I found it offensive. He said it just represents the music of the southern states. Then I got called a Karen by some random woman walking by, lol, because of course gently trying to be an ally makes one a Karen. 😔🙄

I spoke to the manager who said that if I had a problem with it, I could speak to the stallholder 🤔🙄 Quite the strategic approach to seeing your equalities policy! Let individual paying customers define what's acceptable through one-on-one conversations with people flying the flags of violence and oppression.

So Penguin Random House tanked Jamie Oliver's brand bc they failed to do the authenticity read he asked for? Maybe if he sued, publishers would think twice about breathlessly rushing every single celebrity manuscript to press.

“Penguin Random House UK publishes this work and takes responsibility for the consultation, or what we would call an authenticity read of the work,” the statement said.

“It was our editorial oversight that this did not happen. It should have and the author asked for one and we apologise unreservedly.”

To the German reviewer who said Sea of Bones is too feminist to be set in the UK, this is the city that originally inspired the book.

And it's fiction. Fantasy fiction if you like.

And stop presenting them as the sole authentic voice of the housing estates. The "working class" is not one homogeneous mass of homophobes.

I'm so bored with Oasis. We've already had 30 years of all their songs sounding the same and anyone who can play a guitar torturing us with Wonderwall on the beach and now they're back with their Donnie T and Melania pouts and attention-seeking sibling rivalry. Piss off already.

Vance might as well just come out and say his policies on women are "kinder, küche, kirche". For any young women reading his twaddle, just know, there are plenty of us ecstatic with life choices that don't involve children. For one, it means never being tied to a creep like him

If you're waiting in a queue to buy Oasis tickets, open a new tab and buy this instead:

For a fraction of your gig ticket, it will entertain you for hours and will not be a tiny dot on a stage in the distance. You'll be able to touch it and everything
