Member of landowning family gets to do a talk on being a success & turning her life around after being an alcoholic screw up, as her auntie has given her a job managing posh riding stables. Huzzah! Redemption. Success! #TrickleDown 2/
Her cousins Ben and Josh are given cheap rent in a nice big house, owned by the other owner of the stables. Who happens to be another auntie. Handy! #TrickleDown 3/
This means one of them can offer money to the girl he got pregnant at a rave in case she needs it for her abortion, as he either doesn’t understand how the NHS works or thinks money can alleviate guilt. But he can trickle down his trickle down luck, right?! Huzzah! #Trickle 4/
Chelsea goes home crying and scared, knowing that he doesn’t want anything to do with the baby but would give her some money to get rid of it. But he was nice about it #GoodOldBen. He’s just got back with his girlfriend after kissing her sister (sisters fault obvs). 5/
Pregnant teenager is a hairdressing student, living in overcrowded accommodation with her mum, who luckily doesn’t need the food bank this week. She has a minimum wage job in a pub owned by stable owner’s twin brother, and can afford cheap frozen pizza. Huzzah! #TrickleDown 6/
Ben and Josh bond. As brothers should. Stable owner goes up north to help the poor. #EveryoneAWinner#TrickleDown 7/
#TheArchers social order is maintained and everyone has acted well. Luckily her having the baby and moving into the big house at the stables not mentioned. That would be more than a trickle and must be dammed. #JustAskChris 8/
We’ll not mention chemicals trickling into The Am. /end

Everyone has been talking about left wing v right wing involvement around radical feminism and the GC movement, and I haven't, which is weird, because IT'S MY FAVOURITE SUBJECT. And why is nobody talking about neoliberalism? 1/
content warning: this is NOT about Brighton, or being team SFW or team head girl. I wasn't in Brighton last week and I am not talking about that incident, or commenting on any interpersonal relationships, but I have been thinking about this for a long time. 2/
It has been bothering me that the two groups who seem to have been voicing concerns about gender ideology and it's wider impact are left women women and right wing men. Not usually particularly easy bedfellows (quite apart from all the gayness). 3/
