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
https://www.reddit.com/r/transgenderUK/comments/1plg02g/bbc_presenter_robert_ince_claims_he_has_been/

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

What's he got against Milly Molly Mandy...and English?

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 Hmm

Actually funnier than the bits of comedy I've heard from Ince

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!
