Manchester Pride 2026
For Manchester Village Pride, I had the honour of taking UK AIDS Quilt block 47 to be displayed for a week; alongside it we arranged an intimate display for Manchester’s Roger Youd, which set the tone for a week of reflection and solidarity. Roger’s brother and I marched together in the Pride parade, using our place in the procession to call on Manchester City Council to offer a formal apology and the urgent need for accountability.
THATCHER’S SECTION 28: MADE ME
Twenty years since the repeal of “Section 28” in 2003. Has given way to a cohort of attention seeking, clout munching, twenty-something’s claiming to be traumatised by section 28. Despite not being born nor educated under section 28. Therefore, I share my experience in six schools under section 28 for 13 of it’s 15 year existence. And I don’t hold back!
