Oh, soz. Saw you corrected herself.

Yes Gloria changed her thinking, a woman is allowed to do that.

She was an attractive woman, who grew up in a trailer park.

I watched Ms America, twice 😊

Feminists must think the same way at all times.

I’m apparently not doing feminism properly. Despite having been one since 1972.

In fact, the whole thread/theme of Mrs America was that there is not one thing called Feminism but there are feminisms. I liked the episode(s) where the early white, middle class feminists were called out for ignoring Black experience.

And it still happens.

I’ve never heard of that series before today. It’s on Disney+ (of all the extraordinary places). I shall watch it soon.

Oh, it is? I shall make my year 12s watch it!

Anyone watching C4?

Looks like Farage has talked himself into trouble

Inside Reform UK to EXPOSE their secret donations plot

But will it make a difference or is he teflon coated? I hope it's the end of him but worry it won't be.

He’s not Teflon coated and he knows it, that’s why he’s lying low.

Their conference starts tomorrow

Hope you are right Blossom him & his grasping grifting associates should be in fucking jail they are beyond heinous especially after today’s abhorrent statement from Zia Yusaf disgusting little man.

They’re fucking brazen, aren’t they?

Interesting.
The FT did a long piece about Orr today. It was less than flattering.
Wonder if they knew this was coming.

Watching the whole 7Up series on ITVX ahead of 70 Up. Dear God, it’s like a different world in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. You forget.

L/D have reported Reform to police and electoral commission.
I think Labour & Tories have done the same.

Excellent. It’s time they were dealt with.

suspect they are a bit less brazen now.

They don't give a shit.

I've added woke conspiracy by the lefty media to my bingo card for this week, in the square next to vibes.

No one needed to see his coy reference to his ankle sock.

Have written a letter to my local councillor, who represents me on the council and who is very big on tidying up native British weeds, to complain about a flag that's been replaced hanging from a lamppost. A lamppost is a public amenity that my council tax contributes to. It should not be a mast for flags.

It'll be interesting to see how this former Conservative, now 'Independent', councillor will respond.

Already started.
