Another Angry WomanI often use my dad, a man who buys the Times every day, as a barometer of how well the culture war lines are landing with the average reader, and I am thrilled to report that despite years of hysterical fascist articles, he still literally hasn't noticed any of it because he just skims past anything which seems aggro about nothing.
John H@stavvers Same with my mum, who reads the Telegraph every Monday to Saturday, and the Sunday Times *and* the Sunday Telegraph every Sunday, for decades, and whose response to our daughter coming out as trans was “Isn’t it lovely that people are able to be themselves more these days?”
Katherine Alejandra Cross@considermycatjohn @stavvers These are such useful correctives to the doomer narratives and anecdotes one finds elsewhere. The media is powerful and influential but people are not simply empty vessels waiting to be filled; the obsessions of Britain's elite, shockingly, are not the concerns of ordinary citizens!
