I am so tired of 24 hour news about small boats. I simply don’t care how many migrants arrive in the UK any more. No matter how many, they’ll never be as big a threat to British values, our way of life, or indeed women‘s safety, as the bigots who make yelling about migrants their entire personality.

Currently re-reading the Animals of Farthing Wood with my daughter and realising the whole thing plays as a naked advert for socialism and it’s beautiful. I was radicalised by Colin Dann, Terry Pratchett & Ursula Le Guin & I damn well plan to continue the tradition
