Spotted on the Guardian today:

Raising money for the kimono-clad fox-killer's "Good" Law Project.

Definitely one to avoid!

Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Wolf Alice and more to play all-star charity concert for trans rights

Organised by Olly Alexander and the Mighty Hoopla festival to ‘fight back against the politics of fear and exclusion’, Trans Mission will take place at Wembley Arena in March

What's the Zak Polanski and KKR link and relevance?

Zack is.billed to make an appearance. The gig is put on by Mighty Hoopla. Who are ultimately owned by KKR.

Such a shame that MN and the Vipers was already booked for that night.

Think of how many of these merch items could have been sold

Aw, they’ll be able to buy a lolly and a bag of crisps each.

Are all these blokey guest speakers just going to be repeating the same affirmative shibboleths throughout the evening? Sounds thrilling.
Zack, (sad) sack and no craic

So many drag queens. I guess the story time gigs in schools and libraries are starting to dry up. Good.

Igneococcus · 11/03/2026 09:27

Appearances from Monroe Bergdorf, Jolyon Maugham, Shon Faye and Zack Polanski?

So all the speakers are male?

CriticalCondition · 11/03/2026 09:32

There are about 20 speakers. I think 3 are women.

@TWETMIRF the bat! I haven’t seen him for ages, time to bring him back. I haven’t seen @boiledbeetle for ages either, I miss her pix

Painting windows on ferries springs to mind. And Potemkin villages.

Don't set me off. I have to use said ferry or one of its ancient friends in the near future, if I can work out how to get through Glasgow and down to Ayrshire in current conditions.

I like
”I missed the Titanic, I missed the Hindenburg, no way I’m gonna miss this”

Chersfrozenface · 11/03/2026 09:44

One stand out contribution on that Nitter thread:
"I missed the Titanic. I missed the Hindenburg. No way am I gonna miss this..."

Yeah, black humour, but it made me splutter coffee over my phone screen.

ETA: great minds...

I feel almost sorry for the TRAs , this event really is going to illustrate that words are cheap but when it comes down to cold hard cash suddenly they have fewer allies than they had been led to believe.

One of the ferries that came into service last year already needs a new propellor. Not sure which one, I only read the headline, I couldn't bring myself to read the article.

With Cutted Up Pear in support.

That's how long I've been here 🤣

Glen Sannox. Glen Rosa is still being built. The parts were bought so long ago that they are well beyond their 10-year warranty before she even leaves the shipyard. Still, at least the dozy tossers at the SNP have finally bestirred themselves to embark on making the port of Ardrossan fit for the new ferries to use, over a year since the GS came into intermittent service.

I'd pay not to attend an event with that lineup!

It’s all such a vain, embarrassing, folly - they should’ve sold out a 3000 capacity venue eg Brixton Academy and then charged £10 for people to live stream at home (with an additional donate button, naturally).
Would cost far less in logistics and allow all
the shut-ins to participate.

Ah yes, that's right. I forgot Glen Rosa is still not launched.
The dozy tossers have given another contract to Ferguson.

I'm trying to think of the name for the fetish where you'd pay to see this line-up drone on
