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 loved Milly Molly Mandy as a kid. I guess Ince picked on her because it (sort of) scanned maybe? not even woman haters could dislike MMM surely? she's charming in the books.

that is among the most leaden poetry I've ever read I think. You can see the twist coming from space.

Oh good heavens! I've just caught up with what you've all been seeing 😆

That's not a fucking poem, that's nonsense words thrown at a page.

Does he
think arranging them artfully
Is what makes a

Poem?

And leave Milly Molly Mandy alone

Christ on a cracker, that's excruciating.

He’s morphing into E.J.Thribb (age 17 1/2), isn’t he?
Either that or Randy Marsh when he gets into slam poetry.

None of it makes sense, and he writes "breath" when he means "breathe".

"Disabuse" rather than "Disavow" here, surely? That's absolutely, mingingly banal.

Brian Cox appears to be showing remarkable restraint. I remember when his favourite word was “nobber”….

You'd think.
That was borderline unreadable.

Sorry, @EdithStourton, but I must disagree. Over the border, heading for the horizon line, never coming back!

How bladdered do you have to be to not just write that crap but then decide to post it?

Oh to have the confidence of a mediocre male.

Has he had a seance lesson from William McGonagall?

He missed a trick not putting a tw in.

William McGonagall's poetry was significantly better than this!

Ince quit his job o'er the silvery T

I've had more laughs from this thread than I ever had from the man himself. Can someone post some more of his deep poems?

You can access samples from his books on Amazon. From one called Haunted by a Star:

Last night

A ghost collided with my head

It was the light from something dead

Always enjoy this thread being resurrected 😂

A triumph

And he’s not finished! He hasn’t explained himself about himself enough yet! So now he’s taken the time to explain himself some more, in a paranoid, nasty and insufferably sanctimonious two part cry-blog about how he was ‘gaslit’ out of his job by horrible shadowy anti-trans campaigners who didn’t like his social media truth bombs. He doesn’t sound well, really:

'From now on, I was trapped in a loop of self justification.'

Well, he has that much insight, at least.

What a very strange blog.

Somewhere in between the focaccia and the risotto, he [Ince’s agent] told that the executives around the show believed I was having a mental heath crisis.

Robin, they were not wrong

it sounds like there was a period when anyone he met could be sure of receiving some sort of bizarre apology email later

Is patreon an okay platform for a Troo Ally. I saw a comment yesterday in the spat over Arday about a Leftish commenter using unherd as proof they were far right.

So... He's being persecuted for standing up for women activists. And by the COVEN at Mumsnet.

"...Now, because they also spoke of support for the trans community, they were being attacked by a man and his disciples for being “the wrong kind of woman”.

They may have been cis, but this did not mean they should go unpunished.

Mumsnet climbed aboard too and shared lies about them, including that one of them had said that Lesbians must have sex with trans women. Utterly made up, but it travelled fast and caused her pain and a loss of fans and support.

This is gaslighting in action.

At midnight, on 25th August 2020, still a Twitter user then, I posted that I thought it was weird that a man who relentlessly bullied and organised pile ons on women who didn’t agree with him was being revered as a feminist hero. I went to sleep knowing I would wake up to a backlash...."

YOU MONSTERS

Goodness he needed to step away from social media didn’t he?
