Robin Ince quits working for the BBC over his support for men in dresses and terrorists

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

Shame really he’s a nice guy, a huge bibliophile, met him a few times at book signings, the last live show of his I saw he did shoehorn in “and of course trans women are real women” or some such nonsense.

guessing the infinite monkey cage is cancelled now, that was in my top five podcasts.

can’t do a popular science show and think women can have a penis though. Wonder what Brian thinks?

the video of his love resignation , presumably at the end of a monkey cage recording, is here

notably he doesn’t say how men in dresses are being treated badly. Everyone has a blind spot.

I don't have Bluesky. Is there general gnashing and wailing of teeth about him leaving

I did listen but then stopped years ago when I could bear Ince no longer. To think that his contribution was your mate’s annoying sixth form brother while this is the stuff that Cox can contribute:

Someone posted a long post on twitter yesterday saying they'd been following his Instagram posts and they found him grimly fascinating because he's so utterly self absorbed. I replied 'he's delusioinal' and THE Ricky Gervais liked it. I think there's an awful lot of bad blood between people behind the scenes.

new poem incoming

How did this man even have a career that required him to use words?

There's a post below that asking if he's transitioning to a Vogon 😂

I'm sorry, that is not a poem. It serms to be an unfortunately unpacked brainfart.

"....Boadicea and Rosa
(Luxembourg and Parks).. "

He likely agonised about one of the Bluesky crowd scolding him if he'd specified one and not the other, so he had to clarify he meant both

I bet neither one would have had much time for him.

There once was a poet called Ince
Whose poems were absolute mince
He signalled his virtue
And although words can’t hurt you
His ones didn’t half make you wince.

Acknowledging chromosomes as vaguely relevant along with sex is a bit terfy, Rob. Points for “any sex” though.

Boudicca, in particular would have noted that he hadn't bothered to look up enough about her to register her actual fecking name.

Rosa Luxemburg also didn't spell her name like the French version of the country.

If we asked Ince to tell us more about them than would fit in, eg, their Bluesky profiles, does anyone think he'd be able to?

Not without resorting to Google or other search options.
