This is what happens when you normalise the unthinkable. First it becomes thinkable. Then sayable. Then – rapidly for some – ‘desirable’, ‘the only option’, ‘common sense’. History teaches us that, when you normalise the unthinkable, anything is possible. westcountryvoices.co.uk/it-c…

following on from my tweet yesterday, i see that some think i was blaming Dan Wooton for my dependencies. I don’t expect people to understand the pain associated with being harassed in the very public way that i was for a good 15 years. but just because you can’t understand it, it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen, it did. Peaches Geldof, Amy Winehouse and Caroline Flack were all bullied and abused, subjected to the same kind of harassment that i and many others were, and at the same time. it was the culture back then, we were fair game, because we were female, young, articulate, well paid, brilliant at our jobs, vulnerable and relatable, we all wore our hearts on our sleeves and spoke our truths. And for that we needed to be destroyed. I can’t speak for the women above and neither can they, for obvious reasons, but i know how trapped i felt, how lonely and isolated i was, how scared i was, how unfair and desperate it all felt and how substances and alcohol felt like the only way to escape.
Dan Wootton last night claimed he is a victim of a smear campaign by nefarious players with an axe to grind, that his accuser is running a campaign to destroy his life.
The irony is not lost on me, maybe now Dan can begin to understand what it felt like.
I actually wish him well, i hope that he comes out the other side of whatever it is that he is facing, and that eventually it leads him to a place of happiness, peace and truth.
What a shocking way of dismissing someone’s desperate suicidal thoughts. Absolutely shocking. The three trolls in the background should be reprimanded for their behaviour 😡

Here's one of the very many women Boris Johnson bedded behind his wife's back, trying to belittle my friend @AlisonHammond .
Keep your pathetic bigoted views to yourself @PetronellaWyatt
“People who shag Prime Ministers should keep quiet. They are an embarrassment to themselves and to womankind.”
People who sob on tv @AlisonHammond are not fit to interview Prime Ministers. They are an embarrassment to themselves and to television.

You were lucky. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah. And you try and tell the young people of today that ... they won't believe you.

If I went to the GP and lied about having the symptoms of depression and had my family lie for me too, and then the GP went ‘Sounds like you have depression’ and I turned round and went ‘Aha I was lying!’ then that’s you being a bad journalist not them being a bad GP #ADHD

I’m not sure what it takes for people in the U.K. to realise that democracy is slipping through their fingers. Jacob Rees-Mogg is admitting today that voter ID was an attempt at gerrymandering. The public order act has put the fundamental right to protest in the hands of an institutional racist police force. Since Brexit, the rate of decline in a democratic freedoms has exponentially risen. Just how bad does it need to get before people realise how dangerous the situation is becoming?

Piers Morgan talking about “invasion of privacy” 👀
Not sure the man who frequently paid ‘Benji the bin man’ to go through other people’s trash is in any position to lecture Prince Harry about respecting privacy.
He could give a lecture on trash though, he’s well-versed on it.
‘I’m not going to take lectures on privacy invasion from Prince Harry.’
Amid allegations of phone hacking while he was at the Mirror, Piers Morgan tells ITV News Harry should apologise to the royal family for ‘invasion of privacy he’s been perpetrating’

The reality is that you have to go into space to be able to view both the U.K. and the closest other member of the CPTTP. Whereas you can see France from Dover.

The former Parliamentary Standards Commissioner who ruled against both Boris Johnson and Owen Paterson, says she was warned by a "doughty Conservative woman MP" that "you need to watch yourself. The knives are out for you. You just watch your back."

Andrea, you know that private companies are the only ones that profit (literally) from North Sea oil, and that renewable energy is 9x cheaper than gas.
And that the UN says expanding fossil fuels at this stage of the climate crisis is "moral and economic madness".
So why lie?
