Last night I told someone on here, who i also know in real life, that i really like her art.
She said she didn't even know I'd seen it.
She's great. So, if I remember, every day I'm going to shout out an artist I've come across in my career - @yorkshirepost Arts Editor 2004 -2014

I was born in England, this is home. I’ve been a tax payer since 17 years old. As I drove home, I saw in big letters on the bridge ‘Pakis go home.’ This is my home, today it is beginning to feel less like home, unsafe too, because some are chosing to scapegoat me & others.

Things I love about Skin from Skunk Anansie, in reverse order.
1: her mega 90s hits.
2: her band's new album.
3: that she was happy to contort herself down to my height so I didn't look like an actual Hobbit next to her while interviewing her for tonight's @BBCFrontRow!
An event tomorrow if you fancy lounging around with me..!
