    Graham Linehan: I'm not transphobic, I'm just trying to protect lesbian women from fellas in dresses. Lesbian women: What the hell are you talking about? Graham Linehan: Shut up you lesbians. I know more about lesbians than you lesbians do.

    After the responses didn't go the way he intended, Graham Linehan has deleted his tweet where he laughs about fascist thugs shouting abuse at Owen Jones. Seems only fair to not let the evidence of what decent people think of go in the bin.

    This really is the nub of it; the likes of the Kochs and the Mercers do openly, what they accuse the likes of George Soros of doing in secret, and worse. And keep in mind, the Kochs have veto power over what professors get hired at universities they've given funding to.

    'What makes Edge of Darkness unforgettable is the way that a persistent strangeness, a weirdness even, continually seeps into the story's cracks.' Terrific piece by on the 1985 British series EDGE OF DARKNESS, examining it as a ghost story
