This book is another one for the pile of "required reading." Folks don't realise just how much work and activism the Luddites actually carried out. It wasn't just about destroying machines, they did so much more.

🎵🎶I cannot accurately provide a review without it riddled with swearing and colourful metaphors, not because of the writing, but because of what it reveals about Starmer, and how much of a c√nt he is. 🎶🎵

Content warning Spoilers for the conversation about trans and nonbinary people
This is a very white book written for white people, it's a decent start, but there's a lot missing. As an older (Gen X) nonbinary person, the conversation about trans and nonbinary people was about 80% right, but she dropped the ball suggesting TERF is a slur. It has never been, and will never become, a slur. Given the level of violence TERFS have and wish on trans and nonbinary people, the acronym will remain firmly in my lexicon.
Additionally, whilst JK Rowling is mentioned in relation to trans and nonbinary people, she is NOT identified as someone who has caused our community a great deal of pain and hate. This absolutely SHOULD have been noted, because she was very much a catalyst when she used and continues to use, her gigantic platform to hate on us. Not stating this, was a cowardly move.
