A Quiet Riot With Words & Art

The word police

HonestInk,

I’ve been wanting to write about Lucy Connoly for a while now but I’m so enraged by the injustice that has been done to her I’m afraid I might end up in prison too. This was not at Speakers Corner or on a rally over a microphone but on her…

The Rearrangement: a modern story

HonestInk,

They came in great numbers these women. Ravaged and mutilated and angry. Climbing out of the pc monitors and the television screens. Out of the wooded paths and the quiet streams and the rural roads. Out of the seedy hotel rooms and the penthouse apartments. The brothels, the backstreets and…

REFORM!

HonestInk,

I was waiting with barely controlled excitement on what was looking like Reform finally getting a foothold in Thursday’s local elections. My last two votes went to Reform after voting conservative my whole life but they’d lost the plot. Living in a Pakistani colonisation of West Yorkshire I’m buried up…

Transphobic and proud

HonestInk,

So this week we’ve had a result for British women. Real women not ones with a cock and balls I might add. The supreme court and five judges had to declare what a woman was which has to be the biggest pisstake out of women yet in the whole of…

Making art and thinking thoughts…

HonestInk,

I was doing a bit of art tonight in my journal. All in the silence: no doggies, no music. In the flow they call it and it’s true. Time disappears when you’re fully immersed in doing something you enjoy. I forgot about lunch the other day which has encouraged me…

Little islands far away full of trans and loveys

HonestInk,

”…..you absolutely look like a man who would reach 50 and decide now is the time to abandon his wife and live out his cross dressing fetish full time, so I absolutely believe you support men who identify as trans.” He does as well. He looks like a fucking weirdo…

Low Life Protection

HonestInk,

Walking the dogs yesterday morning I passed a young woman and her baby setting off towards town. I turned around and said ‘I don’t know if you’ve seen the Facebook posts but..’ she said she had and was taking care. Here in Keighley we have Eastern Europeans targeting young women…

TikTok dross

HonestInk,

I’ve recently taken to having the occasional look at TikTok. Having an online business it’s apparently best to embrace all the various online platforms to advertise oneself. Being just inside the Boomer generation and the era of three tv channels, illegal botty sex and the last UK execution by hanging…

The game of plumbers: part 3

HonestInk,

The poor bugger from Yorkshire water turned up this afternoon just as me and Anna were eating our lunch. He’d brought another lad with him with his very own Yorkshire Water van to help him metal detect for stop taps. They were definitely taking it seriously then. (I want to…

An update on the game of plumbers…

HonestInk,

So on Sunday morning the boiler started working again. Heavenly heat and hot water. I had to admit to myself that it had indeed been something frozen never mind the kettles of hot water I’d thrown about outside in my dressing gown. I rang the emergency repair line and left…
