Russell Brand is the perfect example of someone corrupted by the promise of porn: the women are real and they really want it.
I wrote this for UnHerd about what my time writing for Paul Raymond taught me.

On my first day, the Managing Editor looked up briefly from his lightbox, hemmed in by towers of contact sheets. He was a young man, but had the world-weariness of someone who had seen it all. “If you miss a deadline, you’re sacked,” he said. He oversaw the frenetic production schedules of all the magazines, but his main job was choosing the photographs. His days were spent peering through his eyeglass, parsing the “pinkness” and “neatness” of the girls’ genitals, and the “happiness” and “filthiness” of their faces.

Perhaps Abhishek will turn off the pornography long enough to read my piece in UnHerd.
Might make him think.
You can have whatever fantasies you like. Demanding that they be embodied by real people is something very different.

What a sad, censorious, illiberal, anti-free-expression, anti-agency, prudish country we live in.

I was a writer who had learned to make men ejaculate with just my words; after which I went home, curled up in my leg warmers and watched Cheers on the TV.

On Nov 6th, a new law takes aim at realistic and extreme pornographic images.
When I wrote ‘confessions’ for Paul Raymond, the women were real but everything else was invented.
For UnHerd, on what happens when fantasy is presented as fact – and believed.

Thirty years ago today I announced the first ever all-female crew to attempt the Jules Verne Trophy. The non-stop round the world record we hoped to beat was 74 days! We were also the first all-female crew to race a maxi multihull; RSA was 74 ft with a top speed of 28 knots!

Watching Father Ted for the first time in a while.
So funny, so warm, so utterly original, right from Episode 1.
Thank you @Glinner . As my watchmate observed: people will be watching this years from now.
Long after the cowards and the lesser talents are forgotten.

As ever from JKR, everything forensically in one place. And beautifully expressed as always.
Stonewall became a men’s rights organisation. We shouldn’t forget how frightening things were in the period before the Supreme Court ruling clawed back some sanity.
Stonewall became a men’s rights organisation. We shouldn’t forget how frightening things were in the period before the Supreme Court ruling clawed back some sanity.
A lot of us were very willing to have a debate without heat, @stonewalluk, and the reason that never happened wasn't because gender critical feminists didn't want one.
While we were trying to get you to listen to our concerns, your former CEO was telling a BBC boss that gay nclude the opposite sex in their dating pool was 'sexual racism'. While we were pointing out the homophobia inherent in gender ideology, Stonewall ambassador Alex Drummond (a bearded, heterosexual man who'd had no surgery and taken no cross-sex hormones but liked wearing skirts), was going into schools to talk to students about his 'lesbian' identity. @BluskyeAllison, who actually is a lesbian, was subject to unlawful discrimination at her place of work for tweeting: ‘Stonewall recently hired Morgan Page, a male bodied person who ran workshops with the sole aim of coaching heterosexual men who identify as lesbians on how they can coerce young lesbians into having sex with them. Page called [it] “overcoming the cotton ceiling”.’
When the UK Supreme Court upheld women's right to single sex spaces, you issued a statement expressing your unhappiness about the ruling. In her report on your unhappy influence at the University of Essex, you were found by barrister @akuareindorf to have misrepresented the law as it related to women's rights: '[Stonewall have] stated the law as Stonewall would prefer it to be, rather than the law as it is’.
In 2018, you publicly advised schools to shred a research pack saying there were risks to puberty blockers, in spite of the fact that you aren't a medical charity and that there was already credible evidence that puberty blockers are neither irreversible nor harm-free. Meanwhile you produced your own educational packs, recommending a children's book, for ages 5-9, in which the parent 'is neither a man, nor a woman – they’re non-binary.' In July 2022, Stonewall sent out a tweet that read ‘Research suggests that children as young as two recognise their trans identity'.
@thetimes has reported how you've sought to control the language used by NHS trusts and government on their social-media accounts. Organisations would get points from you for replacing commonly understood words with ideologically approved terms, eg, 'birthing parent' instead of 'mother'. thetimes.com/uk/society/art…
In short, you took a maximalist position on gender identity ideology, which you attempted to enforce by diktat. You refused to acknowledge that you'd hitched your wagon to a cause that, unlike civil rights, gay rights or women's rights, sought to strip rights from others. You sought to curtail everyone's right to freedom of speech and belief by controlling what it was permissible to think and say, through the management and political class. You have argued against women's and girl's rights to their own spaces, their sports and to assemble without men. Your former CEO tried to shame gay women/men into dating the opposite sex if the latter claimed to be female/male.
Your mantra was 'no debate' because, like all totalitarians, you preferred slogans, bullying and infiltration of powerful institutions to talking to opponents. You appear to have had no concern for the lowly people your ideology was harming: gender confused kids, female rape victims, female prisoners, regular people hounded and investigated at their places of work for refusing to accept the new mandates on sex and gender issued from on high.
Your 'activism' has been a disaster for those trans-identified people who really do just want to get on with their lives in peace. You have besmirched the name of an organisation many of us were once proud to donate to, the charity that was partly responsible for securing the legal right of gay people to marry, which a lot of us thought would never happen in our lifetimes. The milquetoast words quoted below do not erase a decade of gender activism that has been disastrous not only for individuals but for society as a whole.
There was once a debate to be had, but until you acknowledge the direct harm you've caused, it is no more possible to debate you than to persuade a person in the throes of a drug-induced psychosis that they are not, in fact, the reincarnated Christ.

Someone just alerted me that my best-selling novel Sugar Money is only 99p on Kindle at the moment. Here's a review, and a link to buy. Shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Prize and the Walter Scott Prize and topped the Times best paperbacks list.
