My dear friend @JamesBlunt has asked me to buy his new record and I will, just as soon as he buys some Hawkstone for his pub.

"Brand’s openness about his flaws makes him a good leader, and allows those who admire him to be good followers. He’s the best thing that has happened to the left in years."

Minor in scheme of things.

But had to "apologise" to Brand who threatened me with lawyers at Guardian in 2014.
The correction read "This article was amended on 31 October 2014. An earlier version said 'A lot of what he says is ghostwritten sub-Chomskyian woo'. This has been corrected."

“We will not be frightened into silence.”

A man has been arrested after allegedly threatening to murder the Darlington nurses and “whoever doesn’t support trans rights”.

The email identified Darlington Memorial Hospital and included an image of a large knife.

Three nurses had ir workplace by security, and all seven have remained unable to return to work.

Despite the seriousness of the threat, police forces spent days passing responsibility between one another.

North Yorkshire Police acted only after media intervention.

Bethany Hutchison, President of the Darlington Nursing Union, said:

“We are relieved but deeply shocked that the police took so long to take action on this, and only did after the media contacted them.

“This is not merely offensive online abuse. It is a specific and terrifying threat against a group of identifiable women at a named location which included an image of a large knife. Three of our nurses had to be escorted from their workplace by security, and seven nurses have been unable to return to their jobs.

“We reported the threat immediately and supplied the police with the correspondence. Yet days later, we were left facing uncertainty while police forces passed responsibility between one another.

"Other police forces must take note, especially as White Ribbon Day approaches, and many of these forces have firm commitments to ending violence against women and girls. Protecting us needs to be more than a slogan.

“The apparent trigger for this abuse was that we thanked J.K. Rowling for supporting us after our successful campaign for lawful single-sex changing facilities. Whatever a person’s beliefs, threatening to murder women because they uphold biological reality is utterly unacceptable.

“We will not be frightened into silence. We fought for three years for dignity, privacy and safety at work, and we will not surrender those principles to intimidation or violence.

“To women watching this unfold, our message is simple: stand together, speak the truth and do not allow threats to drive you out of public life. We remain unbowed.”

The suspect has been released on bail with conditions prohibiting him from approaching the hospital or the nurses.

The investigation continues.

50 muertos sería breaking news en todas las televisiones de Europa. En cambio casi ni se habla. Como se puede normalizar esto?!?!?
💔 The death toll has risen to 50. Around 20 people are still missing.

russia turned a school in Komyshuvakha into a mass grave. Fifty lives lost. And the search is still ongoing.

Take a moment today to think about the courage of Joshua Wong.

A young activist who’s only crime is defending the liberty of others in Hong Kong.

Today for his courage he’s been punished with 10 years in prison by the Chinese Communist Party.

He could have run. He could have e courage.

People claiming today we didn't know about Brand's misogyny in 2013. We did.

I tweeted this after his stunt at the 2013 GQ Awards delighted the Left. Later, I was told to not to criticise Brand's stint at the NS if I wanted ever to be commissioned there.

Lefties: whatever you think of GQ, remember Russell Brand thinks it's cool to 'score' a girl & slut-shame her to her grandpa. Not feminist.

As “recovery advocate” and rapist Russell Brand begins his first night in prison as a convict, an admiring nod to British publishers like Carole Tonkinson .
She not only helped Brand, but also tried to have @KateClanchy1’s books pulped because morals

How on earth an organisation that misrepresented the law to so many institutions, for so many years, to such devastating effect, be allowed anywhere near another law that could potentially net them millions and cause more untold damage, is a government scandal in its own right.

These are the Pan Macmillan Brand titles, from both Russell and his wife. They were all recently published in 2021 and the editor, Carole Tonkinson, was working on a third with Russell. Tonkinson was qualifying to be a child psychotherapist. She published the books because she e a great 'difference in the world'. She was one of the strongest, cruellest advocates for my cancellation in Macmillan.
Publishing fashionable nonsense is a publisher's job. Destroying writers while mouthing simpering moral pieties makes idiots of us all. Link to piece 👇👇
