The media has lost the plot after a few hurty words at Glastonbury.

Let's talk about what's really going on here... 👇🏾 Image Firstly, the context.

Over 50,000 Gazans have been murdered by the IDF over the last 18 months.

Men, women and children are being slaughtered EVERY DAY while queuing for food. Image

UPDATE:

I've been contacted by multiple major news outlets.

I was asked to appear on TV to discuss this.

But, media are only interested in showing @AllisonPearson's side of the story.

Not the fact that she and The Telegraph came to my house and tried to destroy my career. 🔴 "Why won't you let me tell the truth about this?"

"Allison Pearson's lawyers have been onto everyone...", said one well-known TV journalist.

"She's the type of person you don't want to get on the wrong side of," said a print journalist.

"WHERE IS YOUR SON?", barked a lady as she banged on my parents' door yesterday in London.

She identified herself as a journalist, and was told I wasn't at home.

Still, she hung around.

Why...? 🤔

It's complicated. Image The journalist parked opposite our house, and waited menacingly with a long-lens photographer in their car, looking for any shuffling of curtains.

She knocked again two hours later.

"I'm not at liberty to divulge why I want to speak with your son."

My dad was scared. Image

This was a terrifying read.

Sadly, I can vouch for it.

Time to tell my story about Daphne...

[TW: This gets dark] I'm a musician by night, but a doctor by day.

During 2020-21 I was tasked with taking care of asylum seekers.

They were stationed in a local hotel.

There are Hiltons, and there are student hostels with 1* reviews because of cockroach infestations.

This was one of the latter.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LAST DINNER PARTY... 🔴

The band are causing a lot of debate in music circles, for various reasons.

But I'm finding that discussions are missing the point.

So here's an entirely factual, correct thread.

Sit down, it's a long one... Image Some ground rules:

1. I really like The Last Dinner Party, and my comments are entirely about the wider music industry.

2. The term "industry plant" is vague, so I'll avoid using it.

3. My motivation? Only for the music industry to recognise the problems at hand. Image
