β€˜Kitty karma’? Jessie Buckley tries to claw back approval after enraging cat-lovers Oscar favourite insists she is a β€˜lover of cats’ after telling podcast about ultimatum she once gave to now husband

I like Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal. I also like cats.

The constant need for journalists to ask dumb questions to bored celebs still promoting their latest gig got old long ago.

Oh for the days where we knew bugger all about these people and their opinions πŸ˜‚

I don't know how true this is but I read the other day that there are only two countries in the world where representatives of the state religion automatically get seats in Parliament.

One is Iran, the other is the UK.

In his interview with Sayeeda Warsi, Nick Robinson said: "he gives an example of where in another area, the debate about trans rights, you end up with police arresting a man at an airport for allegedly being anti-trans, something I think almost no one defends now." Robinson was referring back to comments made by Jonathan Hall KC ("do you remember the non-crime hate incidents, the arrest of Graham Linehan.") As the BBC's own reporting (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c07p7v2nn8mo) makes clear Linehan was arrested "on suspicion of inciting violence" for a tweet which read "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls" and he went on to add "I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. Fuck em.” Both Nick Robinson's description of the reason for Linehan's arrest ; and his description of Linehan's attitude towards trans people, are grossly inaccurate. Linehan was arrested on suspicion of inviting violence and he could hardly have been more explicit about how he feels about trans people.

I've made a further complaint to the BBC about the hideously bigoted - and inaccurate - Radio 4 Today programme.

I wonder if the NHS realises that delays in diagnoses result in higher costs longer term or whether the system is so complexly fucked that there’s nothing they can do about it.

Paperback out today.

Just in time for Mother’s day.

Not all mothers want chocolates or hand lotion. Mothers are more than lavender soap and talc. More than sauvignon blanc and flowers.

And some need a kick up the backside.

Go on. You know you want to.

I thought it was the proper last… I’ve just had a read and there’s no Christmas special but there’ll be a movie then other series sometime next year but in a changed setting in the East End.

On Friday, I was chatting to someone I've known at work for 18 years and she's lovely, yet still when I mentioned my partner, I instinctively looked for a sign of disapproval on her face.

It's an odd feeling that's almost impossible to prevent.

Green Party say 'Hannah Spencer won't be silenced' after Manchester violence Hannah Spencer, Gorton and Denton's newly-elected MP, was ushered into a police car amid the unfolding chaos

The reason the middle-class media has not reported Hannah Spencer being attacked by right-wing transphobes is that it needs to preserve the nice, coffeee-round-the-kitchen-table, middle-class view of transphobia, not the thuggish fascist reality.

This is where 'they' comes in handy.

It's so easy not to be a dick and you're right, we shouldn't have to keep correcting people's assumptions.

Aside from being a drag, straight people don't understand the subtle fear that comes whenever we out ourselves.

This’ll be before your time but I went to see β€˜Se7en’ at some multiplex in Watford when it came out. Worst cinema experience ever. Teenagers a couple rows in front smoking, getting up, talking, the lot.

Funny how anti-trans berks are fond of using β€˜beard’ in the pejorative when that knob in the sandwich board has the biggest beard going 😬

I don’t know which cinema you want to but we avoid the Odeon’s and the multiplexes.

Picturehouses and art house cinemas attract cinephiles and old people like me who aren’t about titting around 😊

People like Linehan love stuff like this. The attention alone is gold dust but attention that feeds into his victim/persecution complex is next level.
