Cathy Brennan @towntattle.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I agree. However, vast swathes of the British public relish in cruelty and violence; it just has to be the state-sanctioned kind. Just because we don’t want guns doesn’t mean that our country doesn’t posses a similarly pornographic desire for morally-sanctioned violence. 010

Cathy Brennan @towntattle.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The assumption that some audience don’t get it is somewhat naive.
