For those not on Twitter

Oooh. Thanks. OBE for Free Speech!!!

Here is the reponse of someone Nathan tried to wokescold.

Oh that's fab, HecatesCats

That is great. Who wrote it?

Kathleen Stock's book Material Girls is now available to pre-order. I think pre-ordering will be a great way to show our support (and I really want to read the book!). Adding the link to Waterstones as Amazon are a-holes:

Seems appropriate:

True enough.

To think, I was thrilled when AOC first appeared on the scene...sigh...

Looks like a campaign to get her OBE withdrawn is underway.
Which rather confirms the need for it as per the extract of her letter.

Oh sorry. I didn't realise the letter was old news.

Quite right.

I can't stand AOC. Righteous people scare me shitless.
