For weeks I've been thinking 'if I can just get to the end of part six of the book before Christmas I can relax', and an hour ago I GOT TO THE END OF PART SIX. Then I looked round at all the tidying that needs doing and the presents that need wrapping and I've started part seven.

Is this what my country & my alma mater have come to? Entitled students stifling #FreedomofSpeech & silencing women & lesbians who want to talk about their rights? Those who have fostered this authoritarian neo-fascist climate have a lot to answer for.

I've been funding rape crisis centres for over 20 years. I founded a female-only rape crisis centre in my home city because there's no longer such a service here and women were crying out for one. A trans woman heads the only other rape centre in town. TW are already well-served. twitter.com/MarkGComedyUK/
