“Oh I’m sorry. I thought you were identifying as a pavement”.What we really need is for some very heavy people of both sexes to walk over the "corpses" and see how long they stay "dead".
List of Adray's 'achievements' - verified by GrokHow is the media coverage of Jason Arday any different from the very public cancelling of Kathleen Stock or the way that Maya forstater was thrust into the limelight? Or rhe regular attacks on JKR?
Jason was not a private individual he raised him self up to a high profile position and woke DEI figurehead, apparently on a web of grandiosity and deceit.
OFC any untimely death is tragic; but he's only been subjected to as much press coverage and criticism as the average "cancelling"

I too purchased the books...enjoying it so far. Glad there is no eyeballing for gender woo so farHad a squizz at the Drew Augustine books, they sound good and I’m in the market for some holiday reading, so parted with my £1.99 quite happily in terven solidarityThanks for the rec @MaineCoonMama!
I was being dense and couldn't work out what Anita P--- was.Telegraph today
"From 1958 to 1978, the BBC broadcast The Black and White Minstrel Show: a series featuring white entertainers who had caked their faces with ridiculous make-up, in order to impersonate black people. These days, the BBC is understandably rather embarrassed about this. So much so that, in the wake of Black Lives Matter, it published an article on its website, wondering how on earth its past bosses could have been so blind.
“It didn’t seem to occur to anyone in a position of authority at the BBC that the series really was offensive to more than just a few ‘killjoys’,” the article lamented. As a result, “this infamous programme” constituted “arguably the BBC’s most glaring failure to understand the damage it could do when it traded in outdated stereotypes”.
True enough. I’ve got just one question.
If, as the BBC now accepts, it’s wrong to show white people dressing up as grotesque parodies of black people, how come it’s fine – indeed, wonderfully enlightened and progressive – to show men dressing up as grotesque parodies of women?
I only ask because the BBC’s peculiar fixation with drag queens shows no signs of abating. Just this week, Newsnight invited one to participate in a discussion of the UK’s floundering economy. Perhaps we could boost quarterly growth if we each buy a pair of size 12 stilettos.
Meanwhile, the BBC has been eagerly plugging the new series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. Apparently we can look forward to meeting contestants who use such charming stage names as “Anita P---”, proclaim themselves to be a “Bikini Bottom Bimbo”, declare that they’re “feeling lit to the t--”, and challenge the “other girls” to “step their pussies up”.
No doubt the BBC would argue that this is harmless, light-hearted entertainment, to which only killjoys could object. But then, 50 years ago, that’s what its bosses said about The Black and White Minstrel Show.
Still, times change. So, in another 50 years, maybe the BBC will once again be wringing its hands, as it wonders, in horrified disbelief, how it could ever have promoted the practice of pinking up."
The BBC will come to regret its bizarre obsession with drag queens
I have KU so downloaded one as well!Had a squizz at the Drew Augustine books, they sound good and I’m in the market for some holiday reading, so parted with my £1.99 quite happily in terven solidarityThanks for the rec @MaineCoonMama!
It depends on what you're used to I think? The autopsy scenes are kind of gross but it's not gratuitous.Going back to the author Drew are the books gruesome? Not into gruesome![]()
Thanks @MaineCoonMama not into blood and guts or violence never watched say Silent Witness or Peaky Blinders a bit of a woose.It depends on what you're used to I think? The autopsy scenes are kind of gross but it's not gratuitous.
I have a high tolerance for blood and gore so I'm probably not the best judge.
Now for the rest to follow the lawThe Co-operative Group, the ethically minded supermarkets-to-funeral parlours business, has watered down its trans-inclusive policy on use of company toilets, meaning employees are no longer being told to use the facilities they “feel safest in”.

So what were women supposed to 'feel safest in'?The Co-operative Group, the ethically minded supermarkets-to-funeral parlours business, has watered down its trans-inclusive policy on use of company toilets, meaning employees are no longer being told to use the facilities they “feel safest in”.

If you have KU, just download them anyway to give the author a fee.Going back to the author Drew are the books gruesome? Not into gruesome![]()
No don’t have Kindle Unlimited @JAR21If you have KU, just download them anyway to give the author a fee.
The thing is, if an employee has to be advised to use the loo they "feel safest in" the business has a HUGE problem. I always just used the ladies' loo when I worked, but I never had to consider if I felt "safe" because my employers didn't employ staff who might attack one another. This whole "safety" thing is just so bogus.The Co-operative Group, the ethically minded supermarkets-to-funeral parlours business, has watered down its trans-inclusive policy on use of company toilets, meaning employees are no longer being told to use the facilities they “feel safest in”.
