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

Definitely one to avoid!

Someone, can't remember who, maybe Legal Gengar, did a bit of a deep dive into it, IIRC it was said that only one of the people in some role could remove him or it might have been decide something, but he was the only person in that role. I should probably find it first as I'm
not remembering it well!

The lineup of the Sugababes will probably change by then.

I'm seriously waiting for when it's my turn to be a Sugarbabe. Everyone else seems to have had a go ☹️

Not quite sure the rush for tickets will be quite on par with Oasis but I could be wrong….

I think it might have been Richard Dunstan @ wonkypolicywonk (Twitter)

Comparatively enjoyable as that line-up sounds, sadly I’m busy standing on Lego that evening.

Ach that's a shame. Beverley Knight has just not thought that deeply about it. This is actually a very homophobic and lesbophobic ideology once you scratch the surface of it. Sad that celebrities like her don't see it. The TRAs really have been successful at attaching themselves to a worthy cause and duping people into believing it's the same sort of thing. It's really, really not.

I'm trying hard to think of a more pretentious line up of artists and sadly struggling.

A pub covers band will be more together

The addition of Sam Smith?

Nailed it.

Disappointed in Sophie - she’s always struck me as quite intelligent.

I think it needs more drag queens.

Maybe a special appearance by Helen Wobberly?

didn't Ian Mackellan step down from Stonewall as he didn’t like how it had changed?

If she declined it'd ruin her branding.

Ah yes. Good call.

I heard Kae Tempest's cover of Freedom 90 on the radio the other day. She's really fucked her voice with the testosterone, and there are quite a few lines in it that are a bit too on the nose for someone who's transitioned.

Jolyon UpShit Creek is tilting at windmills?

I'm not so sure - I can imagine a rush to be seen to be on the right side of history, supporting the most marginalised and endangered group in the country. World. Universe - whatever the claim is🙄

Not as much of a rush as there would have been a couple of years ago, though.

It's going to take years yet, isn't it?

This.

Thank you

Recitation of dogma to shut down critical thinking is out of the cult playbook. She really has swallowed it. Very sad to see.

What's really disappointing is that she is performing in the musical Sylvia next year about Sylvia Pankhurst, the women's rights campaigner.

Zack Polanski has tweeted 'Delighted to be speaking at this charity concert at Wembley in March'

Somebody needs to tell him it's not a charity gig.

It's a mystery to me why Zack Polanski is taken seriously. Says something about much of our media, I suppose.

Crikey! I’m truly amazed by the kindness and generosity on display!

At this rate, poor, vulnerable Jolly-on will be able to reimburse his publisher for his far-too-generous book advance, rent some storage space for the unsold hardback bloviations (that he definitely doesn’t want pulped) AND buy a multi million pound country house estate to replace the mid century modern windmill he was forced to sell (after realising the location, slightly outside of Brighton, was mildly inconvenient),
