A pat on the back for grassroots women. Lovely read. Thanks James

I decided to subscribe to the spectator after coming across these boards. I think it was just before lots of people joined following the co-op Twitter fallout.
I'm thinking of the Times too but I'm pretty skint really!

Wine James.

Another thank you from me.
James Kirkup manages to be reasonable without sitting on the fence, that takes some doing on this kind of issue.

Haha “FWR” James knows Grin

Errol I find incognito/private browsing solves that problem...

Yup. Thanks James.

Without journalists like you, bringing the issues to your readerships, this would still be a rubber stamp issue.

Same, Errol. Grin

Waving right back, James. And yes, I might subscribe.

94,850 now - it must be being shared widely

If that wave in angle brackets is a direct quote, he's obviously a lurker who observes 'house style'. grin

It is!

A young gay man of my acquaintance who is at university and heavily involved in the NUS and LGBTetc rights has shared a link to a petition to reform the GRA. It’s got 94,729 signatures so far, so won’t be long until it’s 100,000 and ‘considered for debate in parliament’. It’s far from over, but I think the right people are being heard now.

Blast, I'm out of free articles for the month. Maybe it's time I got a subscription.
