@rosscheIs Just rewatching it all again on Netflix. Was worried it wouldn’t stand the test of time, but it really has. Love it all over again.

do you ever think about how anthony edwards filmed this scene months before the script for love's labor lost was completed? he gave the performance of a lifetime and created one of the show's most iconic moments without a finished script. oh ER the peak television you are.

@KBtheYoungOG @WingsScotland And if they still resist giving the data, then we should extrapolate that the outcomes were/are negative. So the ball is in their court.

So the UK gov is now forcing gender clinics to provide the existing data on puberty blocker patients. I can tell you now, this won't be pretty.

@that_stocks_guy @currys Yeah, never buy tech from currys. Go direct to Apple or a proper IT shop if it is a PC you are after.

#ConsumerRightsAct #Currys #KnowYourRights A rant for @currys, who are currently breaking the law. Normally I'd let it go, but your customer service is a shitshow and your desire to wash your hands of the faulty items you sell is illegal. On 10 October 2025, I walked into your Exeter shop and bought a PCSpecialist computer. This was the birthday present for my 12-year-old. A present they'd been dropping hints about for months with the subtlety of a child who remains terrible at poker. They'd saved their own pocket money towards it. I topped it up. It was, genuinely, a lovely moment. For four months, it was perfect. Homework. Games. The full experience of being 12 in 2025. On 22 February 2026, four months and 12 days after purchase, it stopped working. No final farewell. It just… stopped. My child sat there pressing the power button with increasing desperation, and nothing happened. The machine that had cost a significant amount of adult money, and a not-insignificant amount of 12-year-old pocket money, was dead. Fine, I thought. This is what a receipt is for. I'll call Currys (the shop I bought it from, with my money, as a birthday present for my child) and they'll sort it. Your staff told me that my contract wasn't with Currys, and that I should contact the manufacturer. They also told me to go in-store with the machine to have it looked at. I went in-store. The in-store staff told me to call the number I had just called. I called again. I was given the phone number for PCSpecialist. Phone → store → same phone → manufacturer. A perfect circle of not helping. A masterpiece of redirection. If it weren't happening to me, I'd almost admire it. Now let's talk about the law, because I think someone at Currys may have forgotten it exists. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is not a suggestion. It is extremely clear on this point: when you buy something from a retailer, your legal contract is with that retailer. Not the brand on the box. Not the manufacturer. Not some third party you've never met. The shop. The one that took your money and handed you a receipt. Within the first six months of purchase, the law presumes the fault existed at the point of sale. I don't have to prove the computer was faulty when I bought it. Currys has to prove it wasn't. The burden of proof sits entirely with them. During this window, I am legally entitled to a repair or a replacement, and if either of those fails, a full refund. We are currently inside that six-month window. I bought it on 10 October 2025. I complained on 22 February 2026. I am four and a half months in. The law is not ambiguous about what happens here. What makes this particularly spectacular is that Currys' own published policy acknowledges the six-month framework. It is written down on their website. They know the rules. They have typed them up and put them on the internet. They are simply hoping that their customers are too tired from the runaround to actually enforce them. PCSpecialist are entirely blameless in this story. They manufactured a machine. Currys sold that machine to me. My dispute is with Currys. Directing me to PCSpecialist is the retail equivalent of Tesco selling you a gone-off chicken, and when you try to return it, handing you the farmer's phone number. The farmer didn't sell you the chicken. You don't have to knock on the farmer's door. You go back to the supermarket. This is not a controversial legal position. It is just how shops work. My 12-year-old has been without their birthday present for a few days now. They have been, I have to say, considerably more gracious about this than I have. They haven't complained. They've been patient. They are, in this situation, the bigger person — which is a sentence I never expected to write about a primary school leaver, but here we are. They shouldn't have to be patient. They should just have a working computer. So this is where we are, @currys. I know my rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. But before I go down the small claims court route, and start contacting every journalist in my network on a slow news day, I am giving you the opportunity to do the right thing, in the hope that public accountability is more efficient than your customer service helpline. A child saved their pocket money for this. Sort it out.

Just recorded another episode for Take The Stand the podcast with a victim survivor who never had the opportunity to read her statement. It’s so important for people to have their voices heard - that’s how we can make change. Episode will be out next week open.spotify.com/show/16S1cLoVG…

@charles_hart @KnownHeretic Yes

@KnownHeretic They seem to be always baffled by pushback. Did they really imagine they could just rewrite the rules of society while nobody was looking, and women would just say, oh well, this is my life now?

“Jenny” here asks me if my recent substack about Women’s vote/Women’s voices is important enough. Men like “Jenny” would like women to sit by passively and allow women to be redefined as an identity category that men can opt into at will. When this happens women lose the ability to be recognized as unique human beings from men. Thus, we lose our voice, our vote, and our right to consent to public policies that directly impact our physical needs and boundaries. So, yes, “Jenny” this is very important!

‘That’s the council for ya’. 😂

Just rewatched The Thing (1982 version). Still brilliant. Did give the 2011 version a go recently, but no.

@RosieDuffield1 I lost both my elderly cats within months - the silence is the worst. 😢

Thank you so much to everyone who has commented, sent messages or DMs 💝 It really means a great deal. Apologies for not replying to all yet, still crying quite a bit and just trying to get used to life without our darling beloved constant shadow 💜 x

@SarahCactus1 OMG

If police officers are required to have a licence to work, judges should too. Imagine being a professional, talented, dedicated officer working hard to bring a case to trial, achieving a guilty verdict, only for the judge to do this 👇 Pretty demoralising, I would have thought

@freespeech360 @WomensActionInt @ScotParl @AshReganMSP Now go and visit charities that support women getting out of prostitution and get back to us.

@WomensActionInt @ScotParl @AshReganMSP For everyone leaving me nasty comments or purposefully misinterpreting what I said ,here is a list of some of the many organizations , legal groups etc who support full decriminalization .partial criminalization or end demand laws continue to endanger workers. ⬇️

.@ScotParl votes next week on @AshReganMSP's #unbuyable Bill that criminalises abusers in the sex trade & decriminalises & supports those exploited. This is a message from survivors of prostitution to the Scottish lawmakers to get the law right and stand on the side of justice.

@jk_rowling @Jebadoo2 I remember watching this. ❤️

I remember the first time I ever saw this footage. It's stuck with me ever since as an incredible example of human goodness.

@ThePosieParker @Glinner The class divide is becoming apparent now. @glinner and @theposieparker have both been subjected to smears because they are working class and see through all the middle class bullshit.

@Glinner It’s utterly mad, isn’t it?!

I love the way people think I have any fondness for the GC left after they nearly killed @ThePosieParker by calling her a Nazi as she was travelling the antipodes. Why would anyone care about staying in their good graces?

@BevJacksonAuth Yes I agree

Everyone: please resist tribalism. Accept that some people you admire sometimes do or support things that are utterly wrong. And people you loathe sometimes do or support things that are absolutely right. As for what is right and what is wrong: form your own opinion but I suggest it’s best to resist expressing it until you’re sure of the facts. The current polarization is deeply damaging.

@SarahCactus1 I’ve just discovered instant mash again. It has improved. 😂

Oh my god, exactly right! When the kids were at home especially. Aretha was such a queen 👑

@legalfeminist Hmm, would ‘Rose’ have asked a man if he was going to get changed. I think not.

"The situation as she saw it" is misplaced. She was in fact alone in close proximity to a man in partial undress.
